The client has been SIGKILLed, so it’s not assuming anything. I wonder whether the comment is a typo and they meant to kill -9 the server instead.

Even ignoring superior caching on a local setup, Mac hardware can often process input token around 10x as quickly as they produce output tokens. Openrouter seems to have only a 2x difference on the same models.

Modern string libraries largely use UTF-8 [0], and surrogates, regardless of whether they’re paired, are invalid in UTF-8. So, in a modern string library, as built in to most modern languages, you will not encounter surrogates except when

There is also not too much legitimacy to the fact that Rust packages can run unsandboxed when they build themselves.

Not a specific link, but a DuckDB table is a bag of rows (logically — it’s physically arranged as a column store), and those rows are not ordered in a way that is expressed in the schema. If you do a big analytic query, DuckDB will (extreme

This is a strange comparison. If a real estate developer already owns land and wants to build at their expense on their own land, quite a few people think that, in general, they should be permitted to do so as long as they comply with appli

If the LIDAR can sense the road close enough to the front of the car, then it could estimate how far underwater the car is.

By a water sensor do you mean a sensor to detect the water level relative to the chassis? It seems like a very inexpensive downward-facing ultrasound sensor could work.

Wow, Home Assistant should try something along these lines. Home Assistant’s current handling of time series data is comically poor. Another decent option might be Clickhouse. Sadly, as far as I know, DuckDB has no real understanding of sor

Sigh, DeWalt. A few years ago, there were (I think) first to market with a cordless electric leaf blower that was competitive with gas for serious use — it had a blower in a backpack, two battery slots, used giant 40V “DeWalt XR” batteries,

At least ChatGPT is now aware that Codex exists. I have a chat, still in my history, from a few months ago, in which I asked for help wrangling npm to get @openai/codex working, and ChatGPT said: > Important: Codex CLI no longer ex

I'm not at all convinced that the highly corrosion resistant knife/tool steels you mention are actually especially high on the corrosion resistance scale -- I think they may just be excellent for a tool steel . If you look at the

I, too, can easily use more tokens to achieve the same task. I can give worse prompts. I can fail to make it clear to the tools where to find the information they need. I can ask them to think hard when the don’t need to ask tell them not

How much would you pay for 2 months of infrastructure engineer time? And how many millions / tens of millions / hundreds of millions are you imagining being spent on overpriced AWS services? (Also, those AWS services are not engi

For what it’s worth, in some financial markets, there is a sort of natural daily cutover time [0] across which you are often not trading quite the same instrument. For example, the settlement date may roll over, etc. And a lot of Very Ser

I will add: if you have an operation that adds a record to a database (like a payment in the OP example), don’t forget to have some field that the client specifies that can be used to find and query the status of that record later. This f

My current favorites on AWS, in no particular order: 1. IAM and policies. I’m not convinced that anyone knows how IAM rules and policy rules interact. There’s a flow chart that appears to be incomplete. There is not obviously a complete eno

An amusing, moderately expensive solution that might actually work would be to have a weekday system and a weekend system. Think of it as a spare D/R system that you intentionally swap twice a week :) If done right, it would be a comp

I’m fairly confident that almost any decent LLM trained on agentic command line workflows could break out of Claude Code. It’s really not hard.

Do you also think that f(x) = x^1 is exponential? How about f(x) = x^0?

So what? Just because you used the keyword `unsafe` to call an unsafe API does not mean that you are going to use unsafe pointer access to write to a vector.

I would love to see someone challenge this as an anti-trust violation. Google is using its market power (as the provider of reCAPTCHA) to actively prevent devices that don’t use Google Play Services from competing effectively.

But one would have to explicitly choose to use unsafe Rust for this instead of ordinary safe Rust. And safe Rust has no particular difficulty writing to slots in an array or slice or vector specified by their index.

Mythos might be good at finding holes in an actual defined security boundary. But trying to audit Claude Code would be like trying to find the holes in Swiss cheese. Of course they’re there!

Is this perhaps a reason to have a Users table that is separate from the table of data on how you authenticate that user?
