What are your thoughts on ini? My perspective is that >9/10 toml's are just ini files, straight up. The nesting seems rare, and rarely confusing to me. I obviously disagree about the ease of json editing. jq tells me errors, su

Can someone link the previous time this kerfuffle happened? That time it seemed like indeed we had misinterpreted, and that at that time they weren't banning accounts just cutting off AI access. But there were a lot of very good very

Fable 5.1 got released and generally I tend to think as soon as there's a new release there's this massive spike in people benchmarking & comparing, that services tend to go slow everywhere as everything gets super loaded. Thi

I'd argue that for code, yes, JSON is vastly closer to computer structures. I think this is the real "why do so many tools have JSON config files": because it's just a literal notation, for basic data structures, that

it's such a weird split how most AI companies are trying to be the best, but Google really has a different mission statement. they already have users. lots of users. they need to be working on building models they can deploy and use wi

The trigger has a deliberate defect where it has the least possible amount of material right at the weakest most leveraged part. It's a cheap part to replace. It also means a complete disassembly! A lot of it isn't hard but there

You can literally mirror all Bluesky on a medium/small-ish server, with Hubble. The design scales. There's a number of different tools to find accounts out there. The main way apps do account type-ahead is a free 3rd party service

Quite sad to see what happened to iwd after Intel left (it basically stopped development). Can't say I blame Steam for switching to wpa-supplicant. But man what a worse experience, really opaque annoying config files and pitiful toolin

There have been a couple attempts to "invade" or "takeover" Bluesky by various groups of haters, and theres two things that keep making it not go well for them: A) since everything is public it's much easier to see

They're all ridiculously fuel inefficient and we're going to have to figure out how to dispose of thousands or tens of thousands of these reactors. Aside from that one that starts pre buried, where the plan is to just leave a spen

What's happening now is unprecedented in extreme. Us textbooks everywhere tell of the Teapot Dome Scandal, where some of the presidents buddies in 1920 did a little bit of self dealing. This was it! This and Nixon were the stories of c

MCP was a bucket of Not Invented Here nonsense, that ignored years of protocol design. It was incredibly jank and hard to run at any scale, for years and years. They finally looked at how other protocols do things, and made something that b
