- HavocI'm a little bit surprised enterprise isn't sticking to optane for this. It's EoL tech at this point, but it'll still smoke top of the line nvmes for small Q1 which I'd think you'd want for some databases.
- I really hope regulators don't back down on this.
Half a billion people shouldn't be reliant on whether a guy with clown makeup is having a dementia moment.
Key infra (gov, utilities, news etc) has to be in house or at least in a EU country. Actually in house not big tech EU "sovereign" cloud wink wink nudge
- Think we'll have the first job niche shock from AI that the wider public notices. A bit like online translation market just vanishing...except big enough for people to go "oh". Probably transport or warehouse related.
US democracy fundamentally breaks (more).
Substantial global turmoil directly resulting from US losing it's way. Will take time for an alternate order establishing itself in that void.
- Well with the way ram is going my next buy may well land on zen 6/ddr6/pcie6
- There are the More Threads GPUs.
They're kinda rubbish, but as a starting point / MVP for a parallel gaming hardware ecosystem its 100% viable.
- It was kinda inevitable.
A country with technical ability and ambition like China was never going to go "Oh only one company in netherlands can do it? Damn I guess we're snookered then".
- >that’s a conversation worth having
I'm not even sure there is much room left for one.
There is very little alignment in starting assumptions between most parties in this convo. One guy is coding mission critical stuff, the other is doing throw away projects. One guy depends on coding to put food on table, the other does not. One guy wants to understand every LoC, other is happy to vibe code. One is a junior looking for first job, other is in management in google after being promoted out of engineering. One guy has access to $200/m tech, the other does not. etc etc
We can't even get consensus on tab vs spaces...we're not going to get AI & coding down to consensus or who is "right".
Perhaps a bit a nihilistic & jaded, but I'm very much leaning towards "place your bets & may the odds be ever in your favour".
- Does anyone know whether the cache is segregated by user/API key for the big providers?
Was looking at modifying outgoing requests via proxy and wondering whether that's harming caching. Common coding tools presumably have a shared prompt across all their installs so universal cache would save a lot
- Threads like these make me glad I’m not a frontend dev. Just looking at the comments it’s clear there is no cohesive view or vision or agreement. One giant Tower of Babel
- Continuing the worrying trend that when computer says no you need social media presence & industry connections to get basic level of "hey can you not kill my account" support
- UK gov seems intent to establish a surveillance state :(
- Don't think the late nights in Langley matter when the head honcho makes incoherent decisions
- Using GLM. It works but chews tokens pretty hard
- US really is intent on starting a shooting war by the looks of it. Perhaps even some light special military operation'ing...
- Cool that they publish reasonably detailed info! Couple points that stood out to me
* Perplexity beating Gemini for volume?
* Globo #1 in news...never heard of it (Latin Am. news)
* Only 4.2% http is from bots? Seems low relative to people's complaints about it on blogs
* >50% post quantum encrypted (of TLS1.3 I think, not overall)
- I think a root container can talk to docker daemon and launch additional containers...with volume mounts of additional parts of file system etc. Not particularly confident about that one though
- Was struggling yesterday with porting something (python->rust). LLM couldn't figure out what was wrong with rust one no matter how I came at it (even gave it wireshark traces). And being vibecoded I had no idea either. Eventually copied in python source into rust project asked it to compare...immediate success
Turns out they're quite good at that sort of pattern matching cross languages. Makes sense from a latent space perspective I guess
- Ah the monoculture comes back to haunt people. Who could have seen that one coming?
- I've been toying with vibecoding rust - hardly formal verification, but it is a step closer than python that's for sure.
So far so good, though the smaller amount of training data is noticeable.
- I suspect you overestimate the gap in the market. The trivial stuff is already offshored. Insert AI - Actually Indians joke.
