Not only is that not true, but in fact FastMail predates AWS by some years. Source: I founded FastMail.

The range is provided in the title. Presumably it's just regularly sampled over that range.

Wow mucosal innervation was around half in long covid patients - that's super worrying and would have nasty symptoms in practice. The findings also support the hypothesis that SARS…

Heaven forbid we let poor people use software that helps their kids read. If they can't afford a tutor, they deserve nothing. (Am I doing this right?)

It takes a lot of digging to find their cache pricing - it's $0.50, which is unusually expensive. The vast majority of input tokens are normally cached, so this is actually the pri…

Pythons options are here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html SQLite behavior is here: https://sqlite.org/lang_transaction.html . The regular implicit transactions there…

I'm a big fan of sqlite-utils, but I really don't like how Python (particularly 3.12+) changes how sqlite's transactions work -- the native behavior explained in the sqlite docs is…

It's both an illogical question and comes from a place of ignorance about a topic which one would expect folks nowadays to have some basic competence in. First, the illogical part:…

You seem to have a rather limited understanding of what kinds of concurrency exist and how those needs are best met. Whether something is a server or not is not very relevant to th…

I couldn't find a CPAP mask that worked for me, even after 6 months of trying across 4 different masks. Then I read studies showing oropharyngeal exercises can help treat sleep apn…

q and ch both exist in pinyin, and have different sounds. The q sound requires placing the tip of the tongue on the teeth, and isn’t an initial consonant we have in English, so we …

TIL HN still doesn't support rfc3492, 23 years after it was published, and so this domain is not rendered correctly on the site. :( (It should appear as: マリウス.com )

He states in the article that they use LLMs for this purpose and find them extremely useful.

There's always someone making this claim when negative comments about AWS come up. They almost always come from people that don't have experience running substantive infra at scale…

The statement “there exists a project where zig led to an extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs” does not imply “all zig projects have an extremely high amount of crashes/me…

No, you are deeply misunderstanding the issue. Creating a rivalrous good that powers fight over for control, then use violence to maintain control of, creating a global feudalism, …

"already substantially completed" isn't accurate. $450m of the eventual $1.65b cost had been spent at that point - so less than half.

Yeah this has always been the glaring blind spot for most of the "AI Safety" community; and most of the proposals for "improving" AI safety actually make these risks far worse and …

GPL was created as a workaround for copyright - it wouldn’t have been needed if there wasn’t copyright. There are complex arguments both for and against copyright and there’s no re…

Nearly all my coding for the last decade or so has used literate programming. I built nbdev, which has let me write, document, and test my software using notebooks. Over the last c…

This is exactly the thinking that has characterized responses to new sources of power through history, and has been consistently used to excuse hoarding of that power. In the end, …

In the alternative, asymmetry is guaranteed. When you only allow gov and big tech access to powerful AI, you create a much more dangerous and unstable world.

Yes there is. Lots of researchers are more interested in making a contribution to societal flourishing than in making incredible sums of money. That’s why there’s still lots of top…

llms.txt files have nothing to do with crawlers or big LLM companies. They are for individual client agents to use. I have my clients set up to always use them when they’re availab…

It's not a mistake. It's correct, and is a excellent way to present this information.
