The private lending held back involved a) high interest rates b) unconventional methods of governance/collections which would be somewhat decoupled from Ant's lending platform down…

From my perspective curtailing Ant's plans was positive regulatory action. Political priorities and good governance is why we have government.

From a legal perspective the US may be safer than other places if the US is the one seeking your data. The US doesn't need legal process to authorize digging into your foreign serv…

This type of attack has been happening a lot the past 2 years. I've seen one that was very well done...the GitHub account of a fairly well known security researcher had been compro…

Nice. How easily is the protocol categorized by an external observer? I'm noticing protocols like wireguard more commonly hitting problems as websites rely on third party systems t…

I hear ya. In this case, for me, there is not much diff from "govt won't let us discuss it" and "here is a misleading answer".

...and the answer is still incorrect. You seem to want the short "answer" western media has pressed into your mind. The real answer is more complex. Protests were widespread throug…

Censorship and highly selective views exist everywhere. This is a short and worthwhile read https://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/the_myth_of_tiananmen.ph... Does the content of this…

I’ve been using podman on Mac. It’s been a nice fit as the container build files are identical to what I use on my fedora server. I have noticed my 2 virtual core 4 gb Linode vps r…

I was told by someone in the industry that New Zealand leads the pack for travelling outside NZ and coming home to refute charges.

everything points to money

I built this Clojure lib for robust high scale LLM calls wherein the consumer is usually a http request waiting on an SSE stream. https://github.com/jhancock/aimee The article stat…

ok. maybe. I don't know. I'm asking how you know. z.ai did go public on the HK exchange. They are under pressures similar to other public companies. I know that China models are in…

What leads you to say China AI is giving up on open weights? I've been using GLM for over 6 months and pretty happy.

z.ai models are open weights. GLM-5.1 is very close to Opus with obvious exception of session length. Only academic models will be true open source as companies can't legally affor…

I've been using z.ai and codex latest models since last September. Each release has been an improvement. codex handles longer sessions but the quality seems to decline and it tends…

I'm going to keep this one... underqualified immunity :)

AST of what? Will it read my clojure code's forms as such? What if my source file has a paran balancing error? I feel I'm thinking of this at the wrong level/angle.

Good breakdown. I usually want the codex approach for code/product "shaping" iteratively with the ai. Once things are shaped and common "scaling patterns" are well established, the…

Depends on your app cache needs. If it's moderate, I'd start with postgres...ie. not have operate another piece of infra and the extra code. If you are doing the shared-nothing app…

I've started using a container (podman) which is just for the AI tools. I start it up for Codex etc and let it access to the appropriate code directory outside the container. Anyon…

In VS Code settings search for "tasks" you will find "Task: Allow Automatic Tasks"...turn it off. Anything else that should be locked down?
