- Git is just that bad, huh? The best backhanded endorsement of mercurial I've seen so far.
- unless you control both the client and the server, you cannot prove a call is stateless.
- > This is a tired myth that muddies up every conversation about LLMs
Many copyright holders, and the courts would beg to differ.
- I will use a local coding model for our proprietary / trade secrets internal code when Google uses Claude for its internal code and Microsoft starts using Gemini for internal code.
The flip side of this coin is I'd be very excited if Jane Street or DE Shaw were running their trading models through Claude. Then I'd have access to billions of dollars of secrets.
- Does anyone offer a managed database service where the database and your application server live on the same box? Until, I can get such latency advantages of such a set-up, we've found latency just too high to go with a managed solution. We are already spending too much batching or vectorizing database reads.
- > insane false positives SAST scans dump on you
Great LLM use case: Please explain to the box ticking person why these "insane false positives SAST" are false and / or of no consequence.
- If I know you're being deceptive about A, I'm more likely to assume you're being deceptive about B as well. Reputation matters.
- > > Roughly twice per second, a Roku TV captures video “snapshots” in 4K resolution.
Isn't that too much data to even begin to analyze? The only winner here seems like S3.
- CO2 is not inherently "dirty", so I'd argue that if the headline is advocacy minded, it's probably working against itself.
- > Something like 70% of houses are heated by heat-pumps
To me, living in US Northeast, this is astounding. I've read heat pumps lose efficacy below 25F. My family would never forgive me if I made our house cold. But then I see 70% of the Nordics's house are "warm enough", or dealing colder than room temperature houses.
I've asked half-dozen contractors and HVAC people in my area, and none of them have recommended a heat pump. But, I'm just as suspicious of their motives as I am of the science and environmental populizers on YouTube.
- Depends on which nations you care about. How would you feel if Roomba devices were controlled by North Korea, for example?
- If people are under or unemployed, do they now value leisure time higher? It's a slippery slope. You have to fix some things.
- > Play was central to the formation of personal computer culture.
In his book, Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World, Steven Johnson applies this thesis to pretty much all the things. Enjoyable book, but the thesis probably does not hold up too much scrutiny.
- That's a permanent bachelor design aesthetic.
- > my page impressions were high, my ranking was high, but click through took a dive. People read the generated text and move along without ever clicking.
This been our experience with out content-driven marketing pages in 2025. SERP results constant, but clicks down 90%.
This not good for our marketing efforts, and terrible for ad-supported public websites, but I also don't understand how Google is not terribly impacted by the zero-click Internet. If content clicks are down 90%, aren't ad clicks down by a similar number?
- I remember some podcast interview with Miško Hevery talking about how Qwik was very emphatic about what code ran on the server and what ran on the client. Seems self-evident and prescient. It was a great interview as Miško Hevery is extremely articulate about the problems at hand. If I find it, I'll post.
- ChatGPT website gives a similar answer. Are they running RAG, or the model?
> Yes — I’m familiar with the “pelican riding a bicycle” SVG generation test.

I hope they mean tablets here, and not phones. I can't imagine any artist being more productive or effective on a tiny screen vs a large screen.
