Of course, I signed many such agreements. I've also turned down a ton of "gifts" such as these. But oftentimes they are not clearly gifts or bribes. For example, inviting you or yo…

You've clearly never purchased enterprise software at scale before. Oracle doesn't do anything that everyone else isn't already doing. Dinners, drinks, bottles of scotch, tickets t…

I agree with the concept but the name is terrible. "Core team" gives one the impression that this is the most important team to the project. It's not! It could be called the "gover…

They could simply spend a few months and a few million tokens and get their own port, no? I doubt even 30000x faster would prompt a policy change.

Here we go again. AGPL is untested in courts. There is no definitive definition of what could be considered within the blast radius such that it would require AGPL licensing. There…

This is correct, the Earth is effectively a ball of water, and would get blended/smeared/sheared like if you toss water across a yard out of a cup.

This matches my perception of a ton of recent Cloudflare blog posts. I literally have no idea who they are targeting. It almost feels like they're targeting themselves.

Your math is a bit funny if you're assuming the 1/0.5/98.5 ratios: you doubled input and output tokens but not cached. If you double cached tokens to match your original ratio it w…

His book The Cuckoo's Egg is great! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book)

You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.

Correct, it's the counterpart to SAST.

If the resulting image contains copyrighted content, such as a snippet of photoshop's proprietary code, then it most certainly might be infringing. It's not as simple as your reduc…

I'm referring to C4D. If you used it after Blender, then you probably used the newer C4D UI.

You probably used the newer UI which is almost nothing like the old, pre-Blender UI. The newer UI sucks.

No. C4D was magic and very intuitive. The UI was very good and made it easy to safely explore without causing damage. I don't remember the last time I used a software package as sm…

I'm saying that. But they're falling further behind day by day. Gemini 3.5 Pro is allegedly months behind. If they can't keep up they're going to be left in the dust.

I agree with you for the most part. However they have been raising a lot of cash, and to do so they took on a ton of debt. It's a totally reasonable investment as long as they are …

I think this is confusing Planetscale's primary objective: to make it incredibly easy and efficient to scale a database up and out. There's no mention of sharding whatsoever. Witho…

Give it time.

They should not have called it a Corolla at all. It's nothing like a Corolla.

Tell me you live in the Bay Area without telling me you live in the Bay Area. Do you have a lift in your garage?

Have you tried asking them for a copy of such a report? Or is your plan to just continue complaining until they make one public? The finding in TFA was the result of a security aud…

> we don't trust Tailscale. Just look at the thousands of unresolved Github issues, many of which are actually quite important/useful but have been ignored for months and years. Th…
