> uses the local models That is fantastic. Last I checked models capable of running on commodity (anything below a dedicated GPU rack) hardware were very lackluster.

The Make target I use to deploy in this manner (MacBook to x86-64, single machine) is simply: server: @echo "Deploying machine (with ssh-agent forwarding): '$(MACHINE)'" NIX_SSHOPT…

Exactly. I do not know the specifics, but for example if libraries you call into liberally spawn_blocking under the expectation that it is okay, you will be in trouble. Says it rig…

Funnily enough, spawn_blocking is not the right tool here. It is meant for blocking I/O, such as DNS lookups, where your platform might not give you anything better. For genuine CP…

NAT busting is a great point.

I do not understand this rebuttal. I also run self-hosted Wireguard. Initially on a Debian box, nowadays it is integrated into my router (admittedly, this is closed source). For ar…

Yeah. I don't think PG could even come close. Column-oriented is fundamentally different, and pairs well with all the SIMD acceleration ClickHouse is also doing. There's just no co…

But do the markets care about a Postgres in Rust? Probably not, or at least not right away. It is a long way towards commercial success. > I suspect rather than hire less people we…

Yes, my point was not related to null. For all I care you can have `&T` and `Option ` in your language, but allow `&T` to be null. In Rust, that would be `Option `. Is that useful?…

No, because RateLimiter is then copied on passing it around (pass by value). That is problematic for two reasons: it might be a large type, so copying might be expensive. Second, m…

This is the mess a language lands on when it conflates optionality (a semantic concept) with references/pointers (purely a machine concept). In Go, the requirement " need (non-opti…

As a fan and believer of obscurity in support of security, I do not understand why > that step didn't add any security. It is a decision that’s part of the entire process. A branch…

Just this month Google shipped what I understand as hard limits in AI Studio/Gemini/whatever it's called this week. I had existing billing alerts (best you could do before IIUC), b…

This take was accurate about 2 years ago, up until perhaps one year ago. Current capabilities far exceed what you are outlining, for example using Claude Opus models in a harness s…

I use unbound (recursive resolver), and AdGuard Home as well (just forwards to unbound). Unbound could do ad-blocking itself as well, but it's more cumbersome than in AGH. So I use…

I have the same question, I am confused by the premise of this article. Now you're recording everything twice?

Agree. I am note sure I understand the premise of the article. You're now recording encountered errors twice, which can look like cancel(fmt.Errorf( "order %s: payment failed: %w",…

I have been using nixos-rebuild with target host and it has been totally fine. The only thing I have not solved is password-protected sudo on the target host. I deploy using a dedi…

In thermodynamics, ultimately you need to input work to remove entropy from a system (e.g. by cooling surroundings). Humans do the same for software. I am an avid user of LLMs but …
