I think the real issue here is that we’re trying to apply laws made by humans for humans to something entirely new and not well understood: LLMs. This won’t be something we’ll cleanly solve using current regulation.

You still have to use their SDKs to write lots of integration tests (they call them “workloads”). Then they run those tests while injecting all sorts of failures like OS failures, network issues, race and timing conditions, random number ge

I think their target audience is teams who already have mature software and comprehensive tests. From the docs, the kinds of bugs their platform is designed to find are the wild “unreproducible” kind that only happens rarely in production.

Reading their docs it seems you got it pretty much correctly. You write integration tests (aka “workloads”) and then they run it under different scenarios. This means they use their hypervisor to change random seeds, make http requests fail

I feel the same. After a year of not touching Next, I came back last week to find it’s unrecognizable. It feels like there are 10 ways of accomplishing the same things now, and Next tries very hard to make none of them feel like the right w

I couldn’t disagree more. Having components be pure functions makes testing and developing so much easier, not to mention the reusability of hooks. Class components were a mess. They had way too much business logic and state stuffed into th

Events and state need not be mutually exclusive. I like Vue’s approach of state going down the DOM tree and events going up. This works really well with Context and custom events that are dispatched by components (vs by the window as you di

Funimation was also “Netflix for anime”. Sony bought Funimation and then it bought Crunchyroll. Now they are finalizing the “unification” by migrating their remaining customers and shows to Crunchyroll and keeping it as the sole platform. T

I don’t see how it’s anticompetitive. It’s not like Microsoft or Google make it harder to use Slack or Zoom. In fact, Google makes it really easy to integrate Zoom into Google calendar, and Microsoft has slack integrations for all their pro

It sends the data using wireguard, so it’s p2p. There is a coordination server that sets up the initial connection, but after that both devices are connected directly to each other.

I, too, found it buggy, but I don’t agree that they should only focus on search. Chrome is proof of how important a search engine is to a browser, and vice versa. We should welcome browser competition to fight against Google’s dominance, an

According to GitHub, 90% of Pandas’ codebase is written in Python, which probably means there’s a lot of language overhead during operations compared to the rust code in polars. That, plus parallelism, probably explains the performance diff
