Fun fact: that PoW-Shield repo is authored by a guy jailed for running a massive darknet market (Incognito.)

The cynic in me says it was trained to say this. Makes it sound more human and advanced than it actually is. How would it know it has been trained to be far right? Musk’s thing is pretending to be center when he’s clearly not. I don’t see w

Economic layoffs in “AI innovation” clothing. What are these businesses magically replacing their workforce with AI? I genuinely want to know. If it’s disrupting this much why hasn’t there been a jump in GDP? Laying off support workers and

You left an LLM to code for two hours and then were surprised when you had to spend a significant amount of time more cleaning up after it? Is this really what people are doing these days?

I’ve noticed everything it replies with now follows the pattern: <praise> <alternative view> <question> Laden with emojis and language to give it an unconvincing human mannerisms.

It might be the end of developers who glue npm packages together. But there are still seriously complicated tasks that LLMs have no hope of tackling yet.

It’s okay to be a sceptic, I am too, but the logic and reasoning in the post is just really flimsy and makes our debate look weak.

The minutiae don't matter, if they think your service is serving data it shouldn't be, encrypted or not they will bust down your door.

Ah ok. Thanks!

Be careful hosting a service like this. You will have feds knocking on your door in no time.

Would you consider writing some blog posts or other resources about WASM? I was experimenting recently with WIT, and ran into a mountain of issues. There's a lot of jargon that could do with some untangling. It took me a lot longer tha

It’s interesting the stuff that Meta gets away with under Zuckerberg’s direction, where other CEOs would be under intense scrutiny or already behind bars.

Conceptually I like unikernels, but I don’t think they’ll ever take off, it’s too arcane. Everyone knows how to deploy to VMs and debug their application there if needed. How do you debug a misbehaving app under a unikernel when you have no

Why XML over JSON? Are they just saying that because XML is more tokens so they can make more money?

Interesting concept for sci-fi but not realistic.

IMO it’s mostly luck. Right place, right time, right connections. Look at the founders in the US, many of them are from already privileged backgrounds. True rags to riches stories like that of Jack Ma are rare.

PoW anti-bot/scraping/DDOS was already being done a decade ago, I’m not sure why it’s only catching on now. I even recall a project that tried to make the PoW useful.

People who don't like it can call me back when they graduate beyond ricing their i3 desktop and run a ~5k node server fleet, and then tell me how they did it without reimplementing everything systemd already does.

We made heavy use of systemd and its related components on a fleet of a few thousand edge devices and it worked great for us. Occasionally, we would run into bugs or confusing behaviour and have to dig through GitHub issues, but that was fa

Windows kind of has this in the form of UFW. You can have either a RAM or disk based overlay for your C: partition and all writes will go to the overlay, which can be wiped. Except there are specific paths which must be excluded otherwise
