You are right, but it was a billion+ revenue company that everyone here knows about and probably interacts with every day. I've also heard from others than other companies act the …

it isn't simple request flooding, it is application level resource exhaustion

I reported some exploits on hackerone. Most got dismissed. One of them, a remotely triggerable DoS vector got downgraded in severity. I got a token payment from the company, and 7 …

Thought this was interesting. Clever recruitment tactic or too much? linkedin.com/posts/jordan-zietz_7-people-left-our-yc-afterparty-with-permanent-activity-7487979543744614401-IFU…

It most likely will be quantized. A cerebras wafer only has 44gb ram, and linking them together vastly reduces the speedup.

I don't know about recently, but for many years paypal automatically sided with the customer. We had many customers that would buy a 1 month sub then chargeback the whole amount af…

Why does it feel silly? There are already billionaires, and now Elon Musk is a trillionaire, and they still want more even though they have enough money to spend for several lifeti…

I've held this view and talked about it many times here before. It seems like an obvious conclusion to me that the end result will be a few AI owners trading among themselves shoul…

This is similar to what I experienced when I tested mimalloc many years ago. If it was faster, it wasn't faster by much, and had pretty bad worst cases.

Agreed mostly. Going from standard library to something like jemalloc or tcmalloc will give you around 5-10% wins which can be significant, but the difference between those generic…

> It was mainly pushed as easy to adopt, easy to use, easy to statically link, etc. That is true of basically every single malloc replacement out there, that is not a uniquely defi…

I've benchmarked them every few years, they never seem to differ by more than a few percent, and jemalloc seems to fragment and leak the least for processes running for months. Mim…

It still beat mimalloc when I checked 4-5 years ago.

I've been using jemalloc for over 10 years and don't really see a need for it to be updated. It always holds up in benchmarks against any new flavor of the month malloc that comes …

I'm not arguing about growth. I was addressing this statement which seems to presume that AI has no effect if the job can't be removed. > If AI can't do 100% of a job then you can'…

Claude code will prompt you and explain to you what practice fits a situation. It might not do it perfectly, but the foundations are there.

AI is already aware of the best practices. It does not just blindly do what you ask of it in the simplest way.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. For most things, checking if a solution is correct is much easier than implementing it (page looks wrong, can't login etc...)

You can replace it with a much lower paid employee though.

I think some of it might be genuine. For people that don't code (like management), going from 0 to being able to create a landing page that looks like it came from a big corporatio…
