    I mean its capex vs opex, assuming a 5 year deprecation period thats 1.2 million isnt too bad, its 10% of their aws spend.

    If you architect properly it doesn’t necessarily follow that more features means more attacks, or certainly not more system wide attacks. If you layer and segment correctly you can…

    AMD had an interesting take on this around a decade ago. Never went anywhere but very cool tech.

    Reddit doesnt work because subreddits crosspolinate and float to the top so theyre rather prone to brigading and intermingling. We don't really get distinct subreddits anymore.

    I think models will be a commodity sooner rather than later. This whole race doesnt matter. First mover advantage is real, but over enough time it wont matter.

    It probably means they’re close enough that there’s no observable difference. Or better at every different things.

    Yes. Make sure you’re not using the Gemma sparse models since they don’t have a small model to use. Also I removed all the image models from the workspace.

    I think for the same model wall time is probably a more intuitive metric; at the end of the day what you’re doing is renting GPU time slices. Large outputs dominate compute time so…

    its mostly because MCPs handle auth in a standardised way and give you a framework you can layer things like auth, etc on top of. Without it youre stuck with the basic http firewal…

    I think if people had a use case for it they’d buy more of the damn things. Right now I’d never need a device separate from my spouse since I just don’t need one. Make is useful an…

    Speed would be nice, but more than that I want it to also manage Ruby installs. I’m infuriated at the mess of Rubys and version managers.

    Ruby is a language that optimizes for the local maxima at the cost of the global maxima. Now every library, company or code base has its own pattern and you have to learn its pit f…

    It’s another step in the right direction. These things take time.

    Connection pooling has its own severe downsides in Postgres. Considering how limited we are by connection counts.

    Types don’t explain intent or gotchas. They’re also useful, but you need both.
