The self-hosted environment is just the backend for shell calls the agent wants to make. The inference bits, thread persistence, and (optionally) mcp/tool calls happen from the API.

That is correct. It is possible they didn't opt out and given the timeline and anonymization of data unclear whether a particular conversation would have made it into the training set if they hadn't.

Having a "buy me a coffee" link is an incredibly terrible way to monetize to the point where I highly doubt that the vast majority of these are profit motivated as the author implies. I have personal projects that I pay >$100&#

It looks like this doesn't work for users without accounts? It works when I'm logged in, but not logged out. I went ahead and reported it to the team. Thanks for letting us know!

How long ago was this? I had this same experience, but there's a new implementation for memory as of a few months ago which seems to have solved this weird "I need to mention every memory in every answer" behavior.

In 2025 there's no reason for anyone to be logging into an AWS account via the root credentials and this should have been addressed in the preventative measures. There's no actual control improvements here, just "we'll f

It's not an enforcement issue so much as it is a heavily exploited loophole. Part of the reason freight trains are so long is so that they can't fit in passing sidings. Since Amtrak does fit, they end up having to yield because th

How does that statement convey inexperience? The presentation doesn't try to present that as a novel conclusion, it's just a true statement.

Hardly fair when most commands don't work and you can't copy paste...

None. Windows Defender is actually quite good and the third party options are so bad I'd argue in many cases you're worse off having them installed.

Yes, but S3 has single region redundancy that is better than GCP. Your data in two AZs in one region is in two physically separate buildings. So multi-region is less important to durability.

Also if you're open to it, I'd love to reach out and get some feedback on your experience with fck-nat, how many environments you're running it in, etc. Is that something you'd be open to? If so, what's a good way t

Happy to hear it! I've been looking to add some testimonials to the site. Is it okay if I reach out to you via email?

I don't want to get anyone too hyped on it just yet because there's still a lot of testing to be done, but hopefully will start giving some more concrete updates on "fck-nat 2.0" soon-ish!

Author of fck-nat here. Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for the post!

Author of fck-nat here. My big issue with Alternat is that it actively updates the route table which can still cause availability problems. It's a shorter outage than the current fck-nat replacement methodology, but it is still droppin

It doesn't clear every two hours, it's a rolling two hour recording. Since the plane was still operational, it continued recording and it was just over 2 hours before maintenance crews disabled the recorder.

I feel like they've made their position here quite clear and it's well-reasoned. I understand the disappointment, but this doesn't give any indications to me of "serial mishandling" unless there's some other co

The regulatory vector for satellites in the US is the FCC. The FCC controls US airwaves so if you're providing services via satellite in the US you must have a license from the FCC. So if you're a non-US company operating services

No offense taken. I tried to be clear in my phrasing that I don't personally subscribe to the "LLMs are just like us" mentality. Just making an observation as to why people have such visceral reactions to any implication that

I think LLMs are presenting some uncomfortable philosophical questions for people about how our own brains work and admitting that there is any kind of "intelligence" (even if very basic) in an LLM is an admission that our own bra

I'm so sick of Mozilla's constant posturing as the "open internet" champion. Unfortunately it seems to be working based on the hordes of goons who interject in any discussion of web browsers that Firefox is the "mor

Yep. I built this for Python recently and it uses introspection to automatically build this same info. It's maybe 100 lines in total? The OpenAI API is pretty amazing.

Reposting my comment from when this first got announced. I am a bit hesitant about Maker Faire's return given how its last run ended... Maker Faire has a really special place in my heart. In 2011 I ran the iFixit booth where we not onl

$40/month just to run it, but then $0.045 per GB data rates. The data rates are what is outrageous. NAT Gateways comprise a non-trivial portion of many customer's bills for this reason.

We disassembled it as much as we could on day 1 of the show and started putting it back together about halfway through day 2.
