In essence. But if you have a chain PR1 > PR2 > PR3, and PR1 gets merged, all the others (ime) seem to not cleanly rebase on main. They end up with conflicts that require manual fi…

GitHub's PR workflow doesn't nicely support being able to review individual commits, realise which comments are associated with which commits, etc. Or shipping individual commits t…

I think it's telling how long it took GitHub to release a v1 of this feature. Folks have wanted this for a long time. Graphite came along and did it years ago (and I'm sure they po…

I presume such US legislation isn't going to try claim worldwide jurisdiction to block all persons worldwide from using Chinese models. In which case, the French guy wouldn't be vi…

Because it's not losing money on each token? Aside from most global people using American inference providers to run the models, I suspect the cloud inference products of the Chine…

Probably just the US. But the US could do what EU has done with e.g. GDPR, Digital Services Act, USB-C regs, where they force any company trading in their region to follow those re…

Step 1: Chinese company publishes open weights on HF Step 2: European company distills or just adjusts the model slightly, and publishes its model on HF Step 3: American company us…

How long did it take from the first DBMS to get to Postgres? The first OS to get to Linux? The first compiler to get to LLVM? For Postgres and Linux and LLVM to become mature enoug…

I had conversations with Ben a few years ago about his economics research (incidentally related to some research I was doing at the time). I wouldn't have guessed he was close to 7…

Right. But given that the entire point revolves around QuePaxa, it's strange to see no discussion on it. If that weren't the point, the article would be "Why Cloudflare implemented…

This article is a bit hard for me to grasp the main ideas of because, given Cloudflare's requirements (e.g. no strong leaders), it immediately seems like they should be comparing t…

It depends on the model provider. OpenAI's is very limited and precisely written. Plus, open-source models hosted on SaaS inference providers tend to come with a strong ZDR agreeme…

Most corporations likely have zero data retention agreements with LLM providers, at least for API usage. (Sure, you could be sceptical on whether the LLM provider is upholding that…

Says a lot about just how much money they’re raking in from core business.

I mean, you’d resort to an obfuscated approach if you thought the ‘malicious’ users would remove your direct telemetry. The other users could be perfectly happy about it, but if yo…

I mean, after the US just signed an export control ordering Fable access blocked to non-US users (including European nationals), I doubt European and "US-aligned markets" are eager…

California already has very high taxes. I think marginal tax rates are higher in California than for UK tax residents, certainly for CGT, and roughly similar for income tax. I'd sa…

If Railway's account was suspended due to an error, not a TOS violation, I doubt they'll pull such a card. If Google were sued, such a blatant lie would be found in discovery prett…

I’ve learned that in AI, until you can get your hands on something and try it yourself, assume all claims are false.

I'm not sure security through obscurity is a great practice? Not to mention, I presume the core bits of Cal.com's source code are already in place and aren't going to change signif…

Cloudflare's Code Mode is conceptually the same as Anthropic's Code Mode ( https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/code-execution-with-mc... ), or the various open source implementat…

If I recall correctly, the ‘official’ Python one is a fork of FastMCP v1 (which then removed the attribution, arguably in violation of the original software’s license)

K8s gives you orchestration of Docker containers. I don’t think it handles the container boundary any more than Docker does. I don’t think it should be assumed to give network isol…

Don't think that's a valid comparison. Apple can do those things because they control the hardware device, which has physical distribution, and they lock down the ecosystem. There …

> seems to be on it’s way out Change is fraught with chaos. I don't think exuberant trends are indicators of whether we'll still care about secure and high quality software in the …
