  • Thank you. I heard from ex coworkers that he felt like the outage made him look bad in front of his new boss, so firing me was a political move for him. He then had to have several meetings with people saying that “(scrubbles) didn’t get fired for one outage”, which everyone knew was bullshit. Apparently morale plummeted. So there’s a silver lining. He torpedoed all trust he had with his team.



  • I was fired recently. My manager put a Friday meeting on for 30 minutes, right after a big project went wrong. I pinged him and asked him for an agenda in pure panic, and he didn’t respond, instead saying in our team channel that it was review time and that no one should panic, everyone is getting meetings for reviews

    Phew I thought, yeah I fucked up, I’ll get probably a lower review but I’ll prove myself after that and work back from it.

    Nope.

    He was late joining, HR was there and thought for a second it must be because of the reviews, something special. Then the fucker fired me. Asshole. He fucked up the meeting, sent me on a wave of emotions that week, and then still fired me.

    I caused a 2 hour prod outage btw. That was the fuckup. I had only been there 5 months, told them I didn’t feel comfortable doing it alone, they told me to work through the weekend to do it and I did, worked a 16 hour day to make it all stable and happy. They made me give a postmortem and all of my colleagues said it was a rite of passage and that it was no big deal, just to learn from it. Then he fired me.

    Uh, no. You want to be mad at something like that look into how they’re training models without a care for bias (or adding in their own biases).

    Hallucination is a completely different thing that is mathematically proven to happen regardless of who or what made it. Even if the model only knows about fluffy puppies and kitties it will still always hallucinate to some extent, just in that case it will be hallucinating fluffy puppies and kitties. It’s just random data at the end.

    That isn’t some conspiracy. Now if you expected a model that’s fluffy kitties and puppies and you’re mad because it starts spewing out hate speech - that’s not hallucination. That’s the training data.

    If you’re going to rage about something like that, you might as well rage about the correct thing.

    I’m getting real tired here of the “AI is the boogieman”. AI isn’t bad. We’ve had AI and Models for over 20 years now. They can be really helpful. The bias that is baked into them and how they’re implemented and trained has always been and will continue to be the problem.


  • Yeah Proxmox leaves a lot to be desired in terms of metrics. However, metrics are supported out of the box. Bad news, you probably won’t get what you want within proxmox. Good news, you have another project you get to undertake! Hooray!

    Like I said, Proxmox supports metrics out of the box. If you go Cluster -> Metric Server you’ll be able to see that you can add a metric server. The first iteration I did with proxmox I added an InfluxDB container which then proxmox can talk to (yes they can be on the same host), and then proxmox will start pumping metrics into InfluxDB. (It uses Telegraf under the hood). Then, you can also run Grafana, add your InfluxDB as a data source, and then you have a sweet metrics dashboard. There are a lot of pre-built dashboards already made that look great, and you can customize from there.

    You can also use Graphite, I personally haven’t used it, but I also dropped Influx over time too. These things evolve in that sort of way. That’s how I’d get set up and started though.





  • Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.
