works fine on the phone
I can't confirm that. Mobile Chrome can't show a tab title either https://i.k8r.eu/3vVCTQ.png And the infinite scroll causes the page to constantly jump back up, again preventing me from accessing the footer And of course with JS disabled you get nothing at all (which affects RSS readers, kindle devices, etc)
infinite scroll fixed, nojs issues fixed, and title fixed. thanks for helping QA.

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48440448 this had >300 upvotes with a link from runtimewire.com and you didn't even criticize it then. why now? There are so many bad and false assumptions baked into your short comment, it's hard to begin. For instance: in what world does someone have provide justification for their critique of an AI-written website, because they didn't happen to respond to some previous post?
almost every news website is written primarily by AI these days with a human editor to review...
And even if it were true, how would that justify making the situation worse? We should be doing something to make the world a better place instead.
If there’s one thing that surprised me at AWS during my time there - over a decade ago now - that I was not clearly expecting in advance, it was the scale and competence of the units fulfilling the colossal and unceasing growth in capacity demand. This led me to reconsider Amazon as a whole, and I still think of it basically as a logistics firm, with the shop and the public cloud merely a monetisation thereof.
I wonder how that translates to Blue Origin and how they managed to be so completely outclassed by SpaceX.
Interesting to see Anthropic go with xAI and Microsoft go with Amazon. (Probably just tea leaves. If you wanted to be extra spicy, you’d note that Jassy just threw Fable under the bus.)
Anthropic has been very strategic about playing all the big cloud providers off each other. They're also in desperate need of inference, and I don't think AWS has the capacity to scale up as fast as they want. AWS may also be trying to 'force' them to use Graviton, and I don't think Anthropic is as big of a fan.
What kind of vibecoded website is this? - the worst infinite scroll I've ever seen making it impossible to access the footer - the title tag doesn't seem to work properly (just shows the URL in the tab title, on Chrome and Firefox) - 2007-style keyword stuffing in meta keywords - the entire page is client-side react with a completely empty body? The agency that built it even proudly states on their website that they…

I suspect there is a cacophony of work that happens when a commit hits the server. That request needs to get replicated, git repositories need to be repacked, pull requests need to calculate diffs, CI jobs need to execute, on and on. That's also just assuming the good-faith usage. There are probably plenty of adversarial and poorly behaved scrapers that are putting additional load on the system.
Recalculate percentage of each language in the repo, recalculate top contributors, recalculate the stats for the committer's profile etc etc.
Even if they had 10 billion users with 10 billion repositories it shouldn’t be a big deal on a home PC.

I'm not sure if it was entirely true, but there are stories that after Microsoft bought Hotmail in the mid-90's, they quickly attempted to move them from FreeBSD (?) to Windows NT. But it failed miserably, and they went back to the original stack for another ~decade.
the FreeBSD migration didn’t take that long - iirc this was the frontend migration to an IIS ISAPI. the Solaris bits (storage and routing tables) took far longer - and again iirc the frontend had been rewritten in C# before all the Sun hardware had been decommissioned.
> commits were on pace to hit 14 billion in 2026, up from 1 billion in 2025 So AI means 14x the checkins? That's not 14x features completed, but still... wow.
For instance with OpenClaw and similar, they often simulate institutional and short term memory with markdown files in folders. Other tooling that runs companies using agents as staff, for example, do the same - but also with files for inputs, outcomes, handovers etc.
All of this means a lot of extra churn as these kinds of files can be changing with every interaction not just every traditional commit point.
