Yes, and it cites the Oxide RFD that introduced this specific wording to me too: https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0576#_llms_as_writers > LLM-generated prose undermines a social contract of sorts: absent LLMs,

The generalised form of this, which we are rapidly discovering, is that AI breaks the social contract that used to exist between an author and a reader (of prose, code, anything).

I'd love to see an Oxide Computer Company but for tractors. Open source firmware and tooling, but in this case the design would have to focus on repairability, transparency, and use of easily replaceable components for compute and sens

I'm not sure I follow entirely. If you're responding to an implication that people should go have their own nice place elsewhere and not bother me in my nice place... yeah, I can understand why that's problematic. But I don&#

I've been thinking about this a lot. It feels to me like we* are not good at making new places that people want to be, so we spend a lot of energy working out how to maximally utilise the existing good places. There will of course be

I'm pretty sure this is normal for RPS house style.

That's a terrible attitude for an infrastructure company. This is what private betas / close iteration with customers is for.

Looking at the docs for their JS SDK, they have this warning: > The client provider requires an API token to fetch flag values. This token is not scoped to a single app, so anyone with the token can evaluate flags across all apps in your

The linked article about getting LLMs to critique each others' code review[1], the magpie tool[2], and also this recent article from Cloudflare about their code review stack[3] are all quite compelling. I'm fairly AI-skeptical not

> spending more time and tokens waiting around Can you clarify how you're spending tokens on waiting? My understanding is that the LLM isn't actually necessarily doing anything while a build runs. The whole process end to end m

Is this a market failure? I'm trying to work out why it feels bad to trust a private company with this kind of information, whereas "we" are happy to trust AWS with our servers, Hashicorp with our Vaults, etc. But these busin

Thanks for the tip, I will probably try shrinking it back to 4 to see, as that seems like it should be enough RAM for anybody (:

Node and Deno can also bundle apps into a single executable.

I've been playing with running Claude Code inside a Vagrant VM. I can't be certain it was getting OOM killed when I allowed the VM 4GB of RAM, but when I went to 16 it did seem to be more stable...

I thought of it that way too when I was onboarding into it. When introducing new people to it, I like the topics to email threads, as they also have a subject line and replies. It also gels with the "inbox" part of Zulip's UI

MacOS and KDE both do this. In KDE the pointer keeps getting larger the longer you shake it until it is truly absurdly huge.

This is exactly my problem with the piece. All of the proposed benefits are to do with how individuals can use AI to work the existing system for their own benefit, iff they have access to cutting-edge AI models provided by megacorporations

This isn't one article, it's a "fragments" post with five separate small thoughts. They happen to all be about LLMs so I can see why it would read as a single article, but it's not.

It sounds like you're not using Incus, but for those who are, it looks like there is a S3 compatible object storage API built in. I haven't used it for anything yet but it seems relevant: https://linuxcontainers.org&#x2

I went into this article thinking, well, I am already a free-rider on open source! But now I find the idea of an upload quite convincing. I don't think it quite solves the free rider problem, but it does flip it. Cooldowns make securit
