How many houses in Britain have wiring that is less than 800 W away from starting a fire? How many of those houses have the disposable income to buy a plug in battery? Yes, more electricity means more risk of fire. But 800W batteries do not

Come on, "not publicly available"? You know how git works right? Each Claude release probably has the HEAD of main compiled as "1.4.0" until there is a real official release.

Paying customers get LTS. Are any paying customers asking for a Zig branch LTS? Or are you expecting open source maintainers to do free work for no particular reason?

AI training uses wildly more compute than most companies, who are generally building domain specific CRUD apps. Compare AI costs per-engineer-salary-dollar, because more expensive engineers probably need more expensive AI.

It might take a large org several years to migrate off core systems like VMWare. If you think the customer is likely to churn within a few years anyway it makes economic sense to hike their fee.

As the article mentions towards the end, AWS EKS, GCP GKE, and other competitors have made k8s setup turnkey. You can deploy a new cluster with all the controllers you mentioned in a single click / Terraform.

AWS ECS and GCP Cloud Run are this. Run a container on abstract compute. But they aren't "without all that complexity" because it turns out all that complexity is required for even simple use-cases. Load balancing with SSl ce

If the real credentials owner was running the agent, why do it from a new GitHub account? Someone's bug tracker account was hacked.

Firstly, none of this post is the contract people are signing. So it's merely a summary. Secondly, like all contracts I'm sure there will be exceptions for holding data longer than 30 days with reasonable cause, eg a legal hold.

NPM is getting all the attacks and attention because it is the biggest. But there's nothing language specific to this class of attacks.

Nice. It would have been interesting to dive into the exact differences in components. Are higher wattage PSUs in a series just using higher rated components or does the quality go up too?

I agree that many skills are overblown and unnecessary. But there's a lot of value in giving AI the right process. See how much more effective Claude can be for moderate or large changes when using the superpowers skill.

There can be problems with open source projects run by for-profit companies, but this fork seems a little premature.

And it's unnecessarily rude. Grammarly and Hemingway can identify the same sort of issues without "you are a stupid robot" vibes.

If Finney and Back were working together, why does Finney post a lot as himself through Satoshi's existence while Back does not? That implies it's just Back who was the Satoshi poster. And if so, you don't have any evidence F

Claude is leaning into the idea of a local "session" being the host where everything connects. I guess this makes sense for now. You can build integrations leveraging the user's personal access credentials. Later, once Claude

I wish sudo-rs and all projects being used in production would suck it up and release a major version v1. Seeing v0.xxx on a program used by Ubuntu as a base system utility is ridiculous. You don't have to try and contort the version n

I enjoyed reading this as a reflection on the 90s/00s MMO era, which has been slowly dying ever since. Game designers do seem to have learned the lessons of this time. Well, at least they are no longer building games where 'multip
