    Nightmare because users approach LLMs with the false confidence that they're always right, and present LLM outputs as fact to Doctors who have to waste time explaining that it's wr…

    Cloudflare famously does anycast so the DNS answer you get is the same no matter where you're coming from. Your numbers there can't be attributable to DNS. On the contrary, Cloudfl…

    You betray your ignorance of how parasocial OnlyFans and their ilk get. Yes, people get real connection out of it, whether its with who they think they're talking to or not. I thin…

    God that's depressing. Even when you _pay_ for human connection you're being fobbed off onto an AI

    This already happens in the opposite direction. See: news websites that drop their pay wall for GoogleBot

    These reliability issues are starting to feel like a pretty big indictment of their product, which they are presumably using to write their software and build their systems. If _An…

    "domestic" "mass" surveillance, two words that can be stretched so thin they basically invalidate the whole term. Mass surveillance on other countries? Guess that's fine. Surveilla…

    RLMs are a new architecture, but you can mimic an RLM by providing the context through a tool, yes

    Kind of leaving out a lot of detail there: - Amazon's $50B is only $15B, with the rest being "after certain conditions are met", whatever that means (probably an IPO, which isn't h…

    Profitable, and yet missed their revenue targets in Q3, causing their stock to tumble. That's an emergency. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-06/dorsey-s-...

    A lot of Japanese websites also have to be tremendously over provisioned because of how regimented the country is. A friend of mine worked infrastructure for a local newspaper, and…

    One has to wonder when the board realises Dane was a bad replacement for JGC. These outages are getting ridiculous

    I would love to know how this compares to just prompting Claude Code with "please find and fix any security vulnerabilities in this code"

    "It was a social experiment" has the same energy as "it's just a prank bro", as if that somehow makes it highbrow and not prima facie offensive

    Right, and the court decides wether that information is relevant anymore. You're suggesting we take that ability and give it to random third parties

    Comment #47038433

    I find this a weird take. Are you saying you _want_ unaccountable and profit driven third party companies to become quasi-judicial arbiters of justice?

    You absolutely can, either through the system prompt or by hardcoding overrides in the backend before it even hits the LLM, and I can guarantee that companies like Google are doing…

    Ceph is the OG. Every now and then different attempts to replace it pop up, work well for some use cases, and then realise how hard the actual problem they are trying to solve is. …

    They are testing it, every time someone signs up and it fails. We don't know that this wasn't something that changed on Google's side, so IMO it's a bigger indictment that no one i…

    At this point Tech investment and analysis is so divorced from any kind of reality that it's more akin to lemmings on the cliff than careful analysis of fundamentals

    You don't think "railway" at least conjures ideas about the company? It's not some random word. Not every company needs to be "helps you ship software quickly inc"
