Isn't it perfectly reasonable to require an account for any use, and to ensure that making one has a high level difficulty anubis challenge or delay ?

Claude really doesn't have that much market share. It's the most expensive by a mile but when you count token market share they're in the low %. And everyone else is close enough in terms of quality, their tiny advantage if a

Thoughtfully and coherently factorized, abiding a set of architectural rules (i.e: we compose "this" way here, re-evaluated as we go) and following up-to-date framework conventions. LLMs are terrible at this. Chosing OOP or FP is

Docker-compose setup (nothing fancy) on a dedicated server. Usage is work, family and personal notes.

Acknowledged yes, adressed no. Using dendrite at the time was a bet on the future : "use it now and you won't have to migrate". You can also migrate by replicating messages, or mirroring new messages via a bridge. In my opini

AFAIR there is a doc about migration from synapse, that they promised to automate once dendrite would be production ready, which it never became.

Remark half-way in the rant they are using dendrite, an experimental matrix server implementation that has been abandonned. Thus ranting about it is cheeky at best. I have been using synapse for years with little issue.

And you immediately lose the ability to do `crontab -l` on any server to know its scheduled tasks. Now you get to look around the myriad of places where you can put systemd files, and figure out which ones are base services and which ones a

History repeats itself : it ends in blood. Always does. As the concentration of power happens, the people who concentrate it become bigger and bigger targets. There is no alternative to wealth distribution.

This is borderline adversarial propaganda. While the incident did happen, a lot of actions were taken and most of the data was recovered. OVH now also keeps backups even for clients that don't pay for it. I was hit by that datacenter

That's my take as well, I find fixing poor/overengineered LLM code taxing.

The linked article does not speak of tests, it speaks of a team that failed to properly review an LLM refactor then proceeds to blame the tooling. LLMs are good at writing tests in my experience.

The trick is in the mud between what's yours and what's theirs. The induced doubt is lucrative.

I find the thought daunting but the reality surprisingly easy. You just keep up as you go, as long as you keep things close to the framework it's fine.

I've been a Rails DevOps and nowadays a web one-man-show with it for over 10 years and I'd do it again. Not many frameworks have been thriving that long, and there's good reason. It packs everything, is tidy and productive, w

You could get rich by solving ARC 2 tasks yourself instead of forwarding the work to an LLM, given a client willing to pay LLM rate.

People will find a way to not need as much RAM, and thus the devices that require it. Same way the price of groceries going up means people buy only what they need and ditch the superfluous.

First of all, ruby-lsp does a great job at this, and the recent Herb helps with frontend templates. This is enough to navigate between controllers, models and libs, unless you're trying hard to be clever which you shouldn't. Then,

This is so obviously right. I may add that investors are mostly US-centric, and so will the bubble-bursting chaos that ensues.

That's indeed a good example of prior full trusting of the browser by the server.

by louiskottmann 9mo ago
I appreciate that, but in the case of TLS or CSRF tokens the server is not blindly trusting the browser in the way Sec-Fetch-Site makes it.

This is a massive change for cache in webapp templates as it makes their rendering more stable and thus more cacheable. A key component here is that we are trusting the user's browser to not be tampered with, as it is the browser that

This is my take as well. I've never come accross a JS project where the built-in datastructures were exclusively used. One package for lists, one for sorting, and down the rabbit hole you go.

As history showed us numerous times, it doesn't even have to be the best to win. It rarely is, really. See the most pervasive programming languages for that.

Gitlab has had that for a while, and it's very useful as in-between through dot targets. i.e: .scoped-env: &scoped-env key1: value1 ... Dot targets are ignored semantically, only inheritors make them useful. Then furthe

I suspect it's a learning thing. Which is a shame really because if you want something simple, learning Service, Ingress and Deployment is really not that hard and rewards years of benefits. Plenty of PaaS who will run your cluster for

That is stretching the subject beyond reasonable. Proprietary software as a general endeavor is not an invalid business and nobody is saying that here. LibreOffice is close enough to Microsoft's offering that surely it makes sense accr

Chosing to pay millions when it is not necessary is definitely not a valid choice. It is at best stupidity, at worse corruption. In my experience in the public sector in France, I have seen these decisions taken to advance someone's ca

There's frequent discussions about how sonnet-3.5 is in the same ballpark or even outperforms sonnet-3.7 and 4.0, for example.
