DigitalOcean is the Arduino of cloud. True, it can't compete with AWS/GCP/Azure if you're large scale. But most of us are not large scale, we just need a no frills experience instead of dealing with 27 nested panels just

Code is not the moat, it's the gateway drug to their subscription (hence why they just locked other harnesses from using their subscription). And the subscription is not Anthropic's moat either since it's likely heavily subsi

> it's still abstraction by definition I dislike arguing semantics but I bet it's not an abstraction by most engineers' definition of the word.

And they're as deterministic as as the underlying thing they're abstracting... which is kinda what makes an abstraction an abstraction. I get that people love saying LLMs are just compilers from human language to $OUTPUT_FORMAT bu

> The model weights stay resident in VRAM permanently so there's no loading/unloading per request. Yes, I was thinking about context buffers, which I assume are not small in large models. That has to be loaded into VRAM, right?

How is the time sharing handled? I assume if I submit a unit of work it will load to VRAM and then run (sharing time? how many work units can run in parallel?) How large is a full context window in MiB and how long does it take to load the

I've known SSH certs for a while but never went through the effort of migrating away from keys. I'm very frustrated about manually managing my SSH keys across my different servers and devices though. I assume you gathered a lot of

TCP or UDP are orthogonal to this, so the original comment feels like a non sequitur. These streams are not network streams and could be a file, chunks of procedural audio, or whatever.

They're just trying to ride the wave of Valve's deck (and they will fail). The fact is that, since I bought the Steam Deck, I bought less from GOG and more from Valve. And this won't change a thing: it doesn't matter if

OP isn't claiming all runtime bugs can be prevented with static lints suggested by LLMs but, if at least some can, I don't see how your comment is contributing. Yet another case of "your suggestion isn't perfect so I&

Not only that, but a positive comment that adds nothing is frowned upon ("that's what the upvote button is for!") which negatively selects such comments. Thus comments are mostly neutral, objective facts that add upon the ori
