I have a bookshelf and a cat tree near my desk, they do indeed do that.

Valuable lesson about understanding your potential customers. There is in fact zero chance of my cats (and probably most others) sitting where they are supposed to, they much prefer being on top to look around - and sometimes to look intent

It's down for me too. A colleague says it's up though - it's possible they're shedding different groups of users (he has the Max subscription, I don't).

It's basically got a thread per connection, while it's working on a query that thread isn't listening to incoming traffic on the network socket any more.

I hate the graph here. "Bank teller employment has fallen off a cliff" - well it _looks_ that way but actually it's more like halved from its peak because the bottom of the Y axis isn't zero. That's still a signific

It's been a long time now, but from what I remember, you're not wrong. It's often a mistake to try to explain too much in sequels, which they certainly do. Also they seemed to have a weird obsession about who was going to hav

It's a codename. The product will be called "R100" or "R200" etc. (And "RTX6090" etc for the consumer versions).

This is a pretty big claim which seems to imply this is much more common than expected, but there's no real information here and the numbers don't even stack up: > That's one crash every twenty potentially caused by bad&#x

It's not that you want it to be faster, but you want the latency to be predictable and reliable, which is much more the case for local inference than sending it away over a network (and especially to the current set of frontier model p

Are those young people really doing the wrong thing by accepting? They are getting on and solving their problem, they have probably never had any personal harm done by "some weird dark-pattern cookie trickery". It's almost li

It's not free to run those benchmarks, especially on the big models. Ideally journalists / their employers would swallow that as the cost of business, but it's a hard sell if they are feeling the squeeze and aren't makin

Why burn his own money when he can get VC money instead?

I can solve this problem if I have to. Right now, I don't. But I think you miss my core point. If "Ask an LLM" is the answer to this, Microsoft are doing an unforgivably shit job of maintaining Windows. Why on earth should th

by CamouflagedKiwi 9mo ago
I remember reading an article many years ago about product management being like being a parent, and there being a latter point where you need to let the product go and admit it's done. Windows is clearly there, and Microsoft are doing

I have a similar issue with Windows. The machine already dual-boots Linux, but it is simultaneously demanding Windows 11 and telling me that it doesn't support it. It's a three year old Ryzen, it plays every game I've thrown

Yeah, they've just closed the one near me. I think they underestimated how hard it would be, at least in the UK - the existing supermarket chains are already competitive, mostly pretty good, and people have surprisingly high brand loya

I've done this before, using Google's semi-standard ByteStream messages. It works, but is a bit of work, and I really don't love how you're building on top of a protocol that completely solves streaming contents of arbit

I don't know if it's easier. I definitely think it's better, but there can be a lure to VC money that puts a company like Docker on that path. There's a world where Docker is a small company earning individually good mon

One thing I've heard is that they have consistent high throughput so they will buy beer that's closer to expiry and hence cheaper, because they know people will drink it before it goes off. Dunno how much of an effect that is, it

3-4x £3 a pint? That's £9-£12 which is super expensive - I would say most places are in the £6-£8 region.

The codebase is only hard to work with in the ways it's meant to be - they are very easy to find with `git grep` and they are right next to the code in question so are easy to see when you're working on it. Conversely, they are ha

I've seen something like this tried before. What ended up happening was that not all TODOs were handled in a short period of time, some of them expired, then everyone was cross the build failed and the offending TODO was promptly given

I've found it way more hit and miss in terms of quality. From some examples I gave: - JSON: Yup, stdlib is good here - HTTP client: There is urllib.request, although people maybe reach for requests more. - HTTP server: No, it's ju

When I use Go, I find I can get more real work done with only the standard library than with any other language I've used (including Java, although that was quite a while ago now). It may not have the most stuff, it is more focused - b

I really like this, I think I'd find it useful fairly often and I like the idea of just making something that I use irregularly but not that rarely a bit better. But then I found it's in C#. And apparently the CLI app isn't e

I think yes? I fairly often find that I have something in JSON, which probably is from some system to system comms, and I'm trying to read it. Once it's not trivially small I often pipe it through jq or python -m json.tool or what

Right, as I said I also think Python has similar issues with startup time. I've used a limited amount of Java CLIs, the most obvious ones are things like Gradle which never felt snappy to use - it is annoying when even doing basic thin

Right, but that means the end user has to have (or install) uv, and then you ship them all your code, and then they can use uv to run that. That's a development workflow - and exactly what I meant when I said that uv didn't solve

by CamouflagedKiwi 10mo ago
I don't think uv makes distribution simple? Unless I've missed something, it doesn't do anything out of the box to help you produce a standalone artifact - it builds wheels but those are only useful for a user that already ha
