It's just a meme at this point.

You actually do need some understanding of how a car works, no? For example, you need to know it uses gasoline (or diesel), it requires oil changes every certain amount of time, br…

Isn't that kinda how we got the plastic pollution problem in the ocean? At first, the ocean seems immense. So much so that dumping plastic and toxic chemicals makes no difference. …

I am very aware of your work! It's the only prod usage of Macaroons I know of, I think. Third-party discharge seems like a great way to have human-in-the-loop gating, among other i…

Maybe I stated it wrong. Macaroons have the ability to attenuate the restrictions _without_ contacting the auth server, which makes it IMO fit for restricting and attenuating as mu…

I am still waiting for Macaroons to be used widely. I think they are a fantastic invention. It seems they were not of very much use in the past, but with the agentic-everything now…

How do you join private trackers from scratch? I used to do this kind of things decades ago, but there was also still a few things not ripped and uploaded you had _some_ chance of …

I got: "Hello, world! Welcome to the classic programming greeting. It is the traditional test message used to introduce beginners to computer science and verify that a language's s…

How are they going to make trillions of dollars if not!?

Conversely, you have "full ownership" and have the ability to decide the direction, as long as it's the same direction as your higher-ups have decided. All the responsibility is st…

From past experiences (and I'm sure I'm not alone here), I can almost guarantee that the senior devs did communicate the problems, but they were ignored or brushed aside. Very seld…

This one I did not know! Thanks for sharing

Yep, me too. Still feels magical after all these years.

Yeah, I understand and partially agree. However I've discovered wonderful gems like this RAM video.

If you haven't seen this one, I highly recommend it: Indistinguishable From Magic: Manufacturing Modern Computer Chips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4&t=2070s It's quit…

When I discovered the pronunciation of Houston, TX and Houston, NY... my mind was blown

I've always thought I was the only one experiencing this and felt like I was crazy. I guess it's "good" to know that I'm not alone. The amount of times I've searched for a ticket t…

What does AGI look like in your opinion? Personally, I've used LLMs to debug hard-to-track code issues and AWS issues among other things. Regardless of whether that was done via ne…

Yeah, that was my understanding as well, so I fail to see how a proper SOC2 would have prevented this. I mean ideally a proper SOC2 would mean there are processes in place to reduc…

Would a proper SOC2 audit have prevented this? I've been through SOC2 certifications in a few jobs and I'm not sure it makes you bullet proof, although maybe there's something I'm …

I was running my K6-2 and I was _convinced_ it was superior to equivalent Intel CPUs. Spent hours watching the graph hoping to get triplets and some kind of confirmation that I jus…

Not bad per se but how much legal weight does it actually carry? I presume zero.. but nonetheless seems like people will take it as valid anyway. That can be dangerous I think.

Thariq has clarified that there are no changes to how SDK and max suscriptions work: https://x.com/i/status/2024212378402095389 --- On a different note, it's surprising that a comp…
