The package cache proxy is usually used to fetch from the public repository (npm, rubygems, etc.) so I think it could be feasible to craft some package metadata to trick it into GE…

The CI/CD costs are an interesting take, most of the rebuttals to AI ROI are something like “more code doesn’t mean more value!” but if you are charging per CI run then it actually…

It applies to software engineering too in things like autoscaling. I’ve seen many DDOS outages caused not by the attack itself but the wave of autoscaling that takes things down (o…

The verbosity itself seems to be a problem with post-4.6 Claude rather than a general issue with all LLMs. and IME the yak shaving is due to an overly generic prompt. We have a gen…
