This is a simple code assistant that doesn't get in your way and makes sure you are coding (not losing your ability to program). You configure a replicate API token from replicate... install the tool and point it at your code base. Whe

Maybe this "backup" solution.. developed into commodity hardware as an affordable open source solution that keeps the model and code locally and private at all times is the actual solution we need. Lets say a cluster of raspberry

I think your mistaking programmer productivity with A.I that generates all the code for you allowing you to switch off your brain completely. prompt engineering code is not the same skill as programming and being good at it does not mean yo

I tried cursor for a day or two and then asked for a refund... here's why: * It has terrible support for Elixir (my fav language) because the models are only really trained on python. * Terrible clunky interface... it would be nice if

AWS have a ridiculously unreasonable account verification process. Having sent everything they ask for I just keep getting the same big list of criteria without any more feedback on exactly what their issue is. I hope your not relying on bi

> Forzani said the government needed to acknowledge that there are a small number of "very dominant suppliers" in the cloud market. That's called a monopoly. Would it be so hard for some of the smartest people in the world

I'm surprised see Microsoft buying a competitor to only then shut them down at a later date. It's not like them at all to act like a Monopoly.

Disclaimer this is a rant, and I'm bitter about not becoming am A.I researcher or data scientist for job security reasons.

Hosting a website with an RSS feed is federated. It doesn't solve the problem of finding interesting RSS feeds unless maybe RSS aggregator feeds exist (which they probably do).

The fediverse is a marketing buzzword designed to sell fake p2p social media platforms. Bluesky -> not actually properly disintermediated or federated. mastadon -> equally misleading. Bluesky host and manage centralized infrastructure

Project owners don't really know what they are asking for half the time.. when they move the goal posts after the thing has been built and tested and ready for release * sigh I'm not bitter obviously LOL

Spending three months arguing over tech stack, frameworks, whether or not to lint but never really worrying about test driven development because that is too difficult for the junior developers. BTW just use Elixir and self host if in doubt

Vendor lock-in.. Oh yeah AWS have an authentication system.. let's just use that and we can always switch to a different one! eeerm yeah right.

Also certificate authorities are largely opaque corporations and there is no community verification of actual trust between a community of people sharing content with each other. It is not unheard of for a CA to get hacked or issue fake cer

No beadyw because SSL does not provide protection from A.I bot scrapers or DDOS attacks.. or manage federated digital identity. I've updated the blog again with some tweaks.

A malicious reputation server could also potentially ok and allow bad requests if that aspect of the system isn't resilient. so reputation server's would also need a reputation system of some kind... and down the rabbit hole we go

Another issue that I thought might be pointed out with this idea is... If you need to interact with a reputation service of some kind for every new client connecting. That would require network calls and traffic correlating to the number of

Good point mrkeen. I'm trying to solve many interconnected problems at once and generating new ones... standard. Let's say you have a public digital identity... this would indeed make it possible to tie activity back to that ident

Websites have no way to differentiate between bots or real human beings. The website has to load content to bot's and implement ever increasingly complex resource hungry or expensive defences that are ineffective. Bandwidth is being us
