Modulo Anthropic messing with the model for load mitigation, I wonder how stable this result is. 1,000 pings, how many correctly ponged?

is pong an actual term? If so I might've found a CS term better than wyde (2 bytes)

I've heard people use that a lot, but the original metaphor was sonar not table tennis. So it is more appropriately an echo reply (which is what the ICMP return packet is called in the RFC).

2 bytes is a short…

2 bytes is a wyde. Because, to quote knuth, "two bytes makes one wyde"

This is cool, let aside the token usage, perhaps it can help analyze tcp throughput by redirect wire shark/to dump result

Opus 4.6 is already very good at troubleshooting all kinds of network problems if it has access to the command line tshark tool and the pcap files.

Agreed it’s pretty pro at deciphering logs, it figured out some weird NAT thing for me.

If you wonder why your Copilot subscription has new limits that you hit every few days, it's because of PhDs like Adam. Could Adam use a local model hosted on his own box? Probably yes. But he preferred to waste the service we all use just to produce a weak blog post that introduces absolutely no knowledge and serves no other purpose than to tell everyone that the author likes to waste resources and calls it "fun". >…

You are way off.

Adam is the practical kind of PhD.

There was a security engineer at my work doing something similar to this. He wanted to use LLMs as an IDS. I begged him to use BPF and stop wasting sprint cycles trying to reinvent a shittier slower wheel.

An elliptical wheel, at most. A square one without an axle, most probably.

When I first saw this comment, it was downvoted into gray. But I can't imagine why. Apropos, and likely pretty accurate.
