    I was under the impression the purpose of that is to give an LLM a cheap (in terms of context window) understanding of a repo, and not at all for the benefit of humans? Whether tha…

    I haven't personally tried, so I can't say for certain, but Lambda has publicly stated they run on bare metal EC2 instances, presumably the supply of whatever instance types they u…

    Most mature and/or security conscious providers don't consider containers to be a secure isolation boundary (with Microsoft being a notable exception, though it's unclear whether t…

    What makes you say that? The article is pretty clear that they had the llm working in a staging environment, then it decided to use some other creds it found which (unbeknownst to …

    I wish there was a mechanism to force shitty, bloated companies that have been mismanaged into a nosedive to divest "culturally valuable" IP early. I enjoyed the early ghost recon …

    350 was late last year. The text at the top of the linked page says prices are up about 30% over the past month. Directly prior to the war starting the price was about 470

    That's fair, if your domain is erroneously put on the block list, Google should be liable for the consequences. But my point is that any knock on effects like domain suspension, em…

    Self censorship requires a threat or risk of detriment if the party doesn't self censor, right? Where is that here? What Radix does has no impact on Google, and I don't see how Goo…

    Theoretically, the easiest way is to use a sub address (more commonly/colloquially known as email aliases or plus addresses, they're described in RFC 5233). You should be able to a…

    You might want to review the commenting guidelines, notably the first few. Like you mention, big tech gravitates to a handful of tech hubs across the US, which drives up salaries f…

    I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding where executives mistake software engineering for "code monkey with a fancy inflated title" And coding agents are making that disconn…
