I found the winning combination is to use all of them in this way: - first you need a vendor agnostic tool like opencode (I had to add my own vendors as it didn't support it out of the box properly) - second you set up agents with diff

Exactly... In fact this realisation has been the main reason why I shifted my views (in my teenage years) from libertarian to more centrist. Having grown up in a falling communist state full of state sanctioned monopolies I thought free mar

I'm glad the author clarified he wants to prevent his instance from crashing not simply "block robots and allow humans". I think the idea that you can block bots and allow humans is fallacious. We should focus on a specific b

Having just finished a "hobby size" setup of Rook-Ceph on 3 n100 mini pcs, with every service to fit in a couple hundred MB of ram (one service needs up to 3Gb when starting, but then runs around 250MB) I'd ask why not ceph?

I never checked it, but how much a typical's pc/server's clock does actually drift over a week or a month? I always thought it's well under a second.

Jeez, all this "LLM avoidance" is so horribly silly. We will remember it in 10 years like we now remember the decision to setup our great European cookie popup laws. As well intentioned, but very detrimental. You will not stop scr

I'm especially annoyed that this is most likely intentional. (Not at all)openAI saw they are getting behind their competitors (gpt 5 and 5.1 were progressively worse for my use case - actual problem solving and tweaking existing script

Having recently updated to 192gb from 96gb I'm pretty happy. I run many containers, have 20 windows of vscode and so on. Plus ai inference on CPU when 48gb vram is not enough.

Well, I've experienced both to some degree in the past. The previous long time with very similar hardware performance was when PCs were exorbitantly expensive and commodore 64 was the main "home computer" (at least in my coun

Wow, thank you for sharing this. Kudos on surviving this. I had an interesting experience during a high speed car crash years ago. I was driving on a newly built motorway going south from Gdansk(in Poland) around 2am, in the rain in a very

It's such a waste. You're there with all your personality and you're gone the next. It is quite bad. That's why I think religions came up with an idea of hell... One may think, any existence is better than nothing.

Same with me, check yourself for sleep apnea and "sugar crash" during sleep if you can... Interestingly some medications like tadalafil restore my dreams... My smart watch also tells me the phases like remand deep have normal leng

Many people gave good tips, so let me answer in general. As someone on the "senior" side AI has been very helpful in speeding up my work. As I work with many languages, many projects I haven't touched in months and while my c

We used to use bitbucket Web hooks that used to trigger Jenkins jobs. This was almost instant. Now after migrating to GH actions it can take minutes before jobs start on push for example...

Yes, I came here to say this exact thing. Also github search sucks bad as well as the way it shows diffs. My current client has just moved from bitbucket to GH and all the devs are up in arms.

In my country that has managed to free itself from communism just 35 years ago everyone I know opposes it. Politicians from countries like Germany have tried to make EU decide things like this on the "majority principle" for ages

No chance in hell my country agrees to it (despite the darling of EU being the current prime minister). It is still a minority government and both the president and the people oppose it. It will die this time and they will try to bring it b

You know why IP is so strongly enforced? Because the US has been throwing all its strength behind it. This is why many countries around the world adopted heavy handed IP rights, because they came with a carrot (cheap loans, investment from

I noticed the quality of answer degrades horribly beyond few thousands of tokens. Maybe 10k. Is anyone actually successfully using these 100k+ token contexts for anything?
