I’m not sure it will go this direction. Using a generic (near) frontier model is often cheap enough that you need to talk really big volumes before it pays off to fine tune. My exa…

Likely a lot of those tokens are cached. And because it’s an individual project it’s likely this is under a personal Claude Max 20x plan.

Ah my mistake, I thought he was making a broader point that other providers always have deep subprocessor stacks.

We have a vendor with almost no subprocessors because they run their own hardware in a colo. It is refreshing actually. They can accurately answer questions on how everything works…

The thing that surprises me is they flew back to Newark for almost 90 minutes. It doesn't make sense to me. (1) Either you believe the threat is credible and you put it down at the…

Thanks, appreciate the details. 99% is far above the amount I expected, and if it specifically hits hard to cache data then I can see how that brings a system to its knees.

Thanks. I imagine there is a (a) a lot of interest in scraping source code, and (b) many requests to forges hitting expensive paths. 99% of volume though, wow, much more than expec…

Maybe I’m naive about this, but I didn’t expect AI scrapers to be that big of a load? I mean, it’s not that they need to scrape the same at 1000+ QPS, and even then I wouldn’t expe…

Indeed. Similar accident (USAir 1493/Skywest 5569) shows that thinking exactly.[1] Was easy to pin on the controller, they went far beyond that in their analysis. Almost always imp…

There’s both a quality and quantity angle. For some work, similar to the philosophy example of GP, LLMs can help with depth/quality. Is additive to your own thinking. -> quality ap…

Datapoint: I’m running nightly now because the latest 1.2 release has a known crash-on-wake bug when disconnecting an external monitor. Accordingly the issue tracker it was fixed m…

We're doing a lot with the realtime models. Happy to see a new release. Initial feel from a few calls is that it seems to perform better with alphanumeric inputs. Voice seems consi…

SQLC for me has been able to replace most cases of use an ORM for. It made most of the boilerplate of using plain SQL go away, I get type safe responses, and it forces me to be mor…

Context: I’m in the Netherlands. With taxes, power is around 25cent/kWh for me. For reference: Amsterdam is around a latitude of 52N, which is north enough that it only hits Alaska…

Thx, forgot to double enter.

Im in this business, and used to think the same. It turns out this is a minority of callers. Some examples: - a client were working does advertising in TV commercials, and a few pe…

As I was typing this it came to mind. Will test against one of my own servers one of these days to confirm.

I have 1Gbit at home, but almost never reach those speeds when downloading games. It’s one of those cases where it makes sense (I want to play now!), but I’m under the impression t…

Partly, I did the electrical work myself (dug a cable to the shed, added a breaker, etc). Asked the installer to put the panels on the roof and connect it to the existing line. The…
