    If they're using a static threshold of 200 views and there aren't many of these left it could pull them all out of that category. It could obviously be fixed but I was more curious…

    How many of these images are there? I cycled through a few and ended up hitting at least one duplicate [1] that I do actually enjoy (but I can't find the name of it now that I refr…

    AES is so cheap with hardware acceleration that I could see an argument that it prevents casual sniffing of the traffic. Personally I think the false sense of security would outwei…

    Yeah it wouldn't have changed this specific case but still why use it? It's slower even without AES NI!

    Is there any valid reason to still be using 3DES in 2026? It was formally deprecated in 2018 and has been surpassed in just about every single way by AES long before that. At this …

    I also have no idea what I'm talking about, but to me this seems closer to the "caveman mode" that some people use to compress info into fewer tokens. Going through the image token…

    That's like saying quantization isn't real because the frontier labs aren't using it in their production inference. This is a lossy process, it produces worse results. It might be …

    There are also cases where breaking a "rule" is the right thing to do. I've had several instances where I told the model to do something that was accidentally impossible if taken a…

    I've been pretty damn happy with codex and vscode. Between the codex app, cli, and vscode extension there are options for most ways of working

    This is what I'm advocating for. Give each dev's AI agent its own identity with its own access controls and tokens and everything. It helps solve both the access control and attrib…

    In our internal metrics you can see a clear increase in PRs and CI runs in general that tracks with agentic coding adoption, and it's significant, so I absolutely buy that GitHub w…

    There have been a few instances, IIRC there was an Apollo mission that had a head cold spread among the whole crew. But that's unlikely to be the case here because they've been up …
