Bazel maintains a system-wide cache that fixes this. At $current_employer a truly cold build (rm - rf the system cache) is 10 minutes or so. In a new worktree with a warm system cache it's under 60 seconds (still needs to build the wor

Why is no other inference provider offering similar prices then?

Multiple providers (who need to make a profit) offer the same 4.40 rate for glm-5.2. It's not subsidized. Deepseek's 0.86 or whatever is likely subsidized but alternate providers offer it for a price comparable to glm-5.2.

I have friends who have had serious permanent vision changes as a result of taking a reasonable dose of psychedelics one time (which is one of the main reasons I haven't tried it). If you overdose on either lsd or alcohol you'll h

At the same time, using LSD once is higher risk than one night of drinking.

Very true, this was likely an attack. Worth noting that mr kettle has done a defcon talk nearly every year on some variant of this attack, the most recent one titled "HTTP/1.1 must die" because he rightfully believes that swi

Not amazing. In certain workloads I ran, once the db reached several hundred gb, writes would hang for longer and longer periods of time, eventually hours, while the db grew drastically in the background. https://news.ycombinator

Nym is pretty complicated and although they offer some kind of traditional VPN service as well IIRC, their main product is actually the only large scale operational "mixnet", which you can think of as kinda similar to Tor but a lo

I have a friend who did similar tunneling a while ago. It also works on cruise ships. He discovered that on some airlines (I think American?), they use an advanced fortinet firewall that doesn't just look at the SNI -- it also checks t

if the world was all XHTML, then you wouldn't put an ad on your site that wasn't valid XHTML, the same way you wouldn't import a python library that's not valid python.

Their example of why Ada has better strong typing than Rust is that you can have floats for miles and floats for kilometers and not get them mixed up. News flash, Rust has newtype structs, and you can also do basically the same thing in C++

I mostly agree that, as someone who cooks something intricate <10 times per year, a sharp knife is in fact more dangerous than a dull one. Scott in the video makes the argument that sharp knives are safer, because you don't have to

check marks in email clients usually mean DKIM / other domain verification passed. The attack author truly owns npmjs.help, so a checkmark is appropriate.

They also agreed to destroy the pirated books. I wonder how large of a portion of their training data comes from these shadow libraries, and if AI labs in countries that have made it clear they won't enforce anti-piracy laws against AI

What bank is this? No bank I know /requires/ you to use a mobile app for anything; the web is enough. 2FA can usually be done via email, SMS, or a google-authenticator-compatible app.
