They are already solving the problem with search engines, they're just using an LLM as a first pass to create better embeddings to run a similarity match on first. The difference in latency is likely made up for in accuracy.

Why? What purpose does it serve? Who benefits from it?

I think this is a false equivalence. Cloudflare doesn't espouse the position that ethnic cleaning is good, and afaik nothing it does in China enables that. Further, DHH isn't calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants in pa

People claiming Andrew Kelley's remarks in this thread can't possibly be personal attacks surprise and sadden me. If someone insults your ability to do your job, paints you as an opportunistic sellout, and thanks the stars for you

Helping a mega-corporation make an extra buck is not "service to society". If you meant doing a service job at a small business, where you can have real ownership over how it treats its customers, I would agree with you.

One benefit is that this can run in serverless / sandboxed containers where OS primitives are not exposed or heavily limited. I immediately thought of Cloudflare Workers, which runs on V8 and exposes WASM-only interfaces, using Workers

How does one measure unique users here in a way different from classic p99? I usually associate p99 with an SLO of some kind, and each request as a "unique user" for the service, so at first it seems like the same thing - measurin

I'm from India too. It's disingenuous to say things like "Bangladeshi Muslims are not desired" and not mention the massive backlash the Citizenship Amendment Act received. It's almost as if people recognize arbitrar

The effort here is laudable, and this is cool! But your real competition isn't regexes, but parser combinator libraries. For cases where readability and matching matter, parser combinators are the go to. It's a bit difficult to se

I asked Kenton Varda (the creator) this one after discovering all its cool capabilities, and it seems like promoting it just hasn't been a focus. It is heavily used at Cloudflare, though, and is the basis for a lot of cool stuff we&#x2

First off, my heart goes out to you. Thinking that you chose to be a bystander must have cut really core to your sense of identity. It's been difficult to reconcile being a good person and choosing to do nothing for you, and I don&#x27

You're thinking of probabilistic systems at run time . People are talking about probabilistic systems at compile time . Whatever gets generated, if it passes tests and is observably in compliance with the spec, is accepted and made p

Before the outage, Cloudflare had Cloudbleed: https://blog.cloudflare.com/incident-report-on-memory-leak-c... The move to Rust was partly motivated because it prevented that entire class of errors. No more out-of-bound read

I find the contrast between two narratives around technology use so fascinating: 1. We advocate automation because people like Brenda are error-prone and machines are perfect. 2. We disavow AI because people like Brenda are perfect and the

Piece of UX feedback for the product team behind Updog: company logos are not searchable. It should be easy to Ctrl-F and find a relevant cloud on that detector, instead of scrolling alphabetically.

The Hindustan Times is widely known in India, and is considered reliable as a source of information. I wasn't sure which thumbnails you were referring to on a quick perusal of their YT channel, but my mind instantly assumed you meant t

Having met Casey Handmer personally, I'm confident the last thing he could be accused of is being anti-science. The man knows quite a bit about his domain of expertise!

I'll also point out that it's actually harder for entry-level foreign workers (read: international students) to get jobs in general. F1 visa students are limited to one year of OPT, unless they have a STEM degree, in which case

That's not an apples to apples comparison. You don't know if the foreign workers were senior-level employees, for example, or whether there were specialized requirements they might have been hired against that entry-level grads wo

(Not Peter, not a lawyer) It is hard not to be moderately worried, since the administration has already made concrete attacks on citizenship pathways, immigrants and legal residents. Most notably, it's targeted birthright citizenship v

Joe will be fine. Cloudflare is pretty good at differentiating humans from bot traffic - see how we do it here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/ The idea behind the headers is to allow bots to bypass automa

This blog post plays too loose and fast with its terms to be useful as a model of anything: - It's tautological. A tribe is defined as a connected graph of members with a shared mean opinion, and then God is defined as that shared mea

I don't think this is the right conclusion. It's more: people with no expertise and hidden agendas should be forced to behave in line with the best available evidence unless there are no other recourses for them. People with exp

The Greeks knew the Earth was round because they could look at ships appearing over the horizon and observe that the tops of their sails would appear first. Eratosthenes was further able to calculate the radius of the Earth to a decent fir

I would push back on the interpretation that syntactic sugar, by virtue of making programs shorter, is more expressive. APL folds entire compositions into single character sequences, but one would probably not argue that it is more expressi
