Apple's already got the Virtualization framework and hypervisor already ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization ), so adding the rest of the container ecosystem seems like a natural next step. It

It's a blocker for many windows enterprise customers. The suggested way is to use nvm to manage it (link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/ja... ). This needs admin permissions,

Land grab? Not sure I'd call it that, but maybe it is. I looked at it more as there were N different ways of configuring tools to be called, so they created N+1 ( https://xkcd.com/927/ ) but have had good success at

Wrappers are good even when non dealing with multiple currencies since in many places some transactions are in fractions of cents, so depending on the usecase may need to push that decimal a few places out. I always have a wrapper class to

I have to say this is a very readable implementation to see how it all works in practice as well as a good reminder that it's a pretty simple universal tool interface.

I wonder if the code at fault in the official GitHub MCP server was part of that 30% of all code that Satya said was written by AI?

Yup absolutely. I use macos as my daily driver, but any real work on it happens on a linux container or VM. Using one of {cursor, vscode, windsurf} with a devcontainer is a much better approach for me.

it's hard since you don't have the right environment, you can't debug, can't easily run locally and you have to push a change, and wait for the code to run on a remote machine 100x less powerful than you old laptop. If t

I try to use debian, since it's a bit older (read: stable) than ubunutu and I've found that if something compiles and runs on debian it'll run on ubunutu and others but the inverse is not true.

I know -- I was super excited to see WSL1 and wished it worked. NT when started was the OS/2 personality and back at that time was excited to see NT as the OS to end all OSes (by running them all as a personality). But WSL2 is freaking

I just looked at twitter and it seems the sentiment is similar across both platforms. I think this was more of an adobe think than a bluesky thing.

I'm still using npm and wasn't sure if I should use yarn or pnmp, is there a clear winner here on this one? Is there an authoritative place to know which ways the winds of change are blowing on this? I ask since both of them (yar

I think it's easy to released the uncensored version, it's just the censored version that's likely super super hard. Since this is just giving the model directly, there's no ability to do any filtering as part of inferen

And even if they do have them, they degrade over time and only last around 10 years tops. It's quite possible that the ones they had failed, and failed silently. Such as loss.

I don't get why folks keep saying x86 linux servers here for AI, if anything it'd be M series arm based servers, either running linux or macos. Realistically I'd imagine a set of scaled up mac mini arm servers for running in

Absolutely - in enterprise software, it's the certified configurations that are not something you can mess around with, if you like support. I'd still consider this VMware as a service, although not full VMware, but just enough fo

The phrase "homebrew KVM platform" made me chuckle. All of the hyperscalers have a homebrew, aka proprietary platform using a hypervisor. AWS has Nitro which seems to have been based on KVM but likely quite different by now. If y

I like this. I strongly believe that picking some tech stack you know when you are starting out is always the right decision, until it's not. Only then do you pick a different solution. Better to move fast leveraging what you know, un

I wish AZ was as good at this as CA. I rented a tesla from avis in AZ and it was a train wreck. At rental they were pretty threatening about they didn't have a place to charge so it'd be huge fees if I didn't bring it back

Do they mean PAAS vs IAAS when they say "move to cloud"?

To me the most important quote in the whole writeup is this "Our new stack is boring.". When you are creating a solution to a problem, boring is good. Strive to be boring. Only be exciting when you must.

I've come to realize that putting everything into a container is the only viable way to share a python program. I'll certainly checkout PEX, I think that distribution of a binary is likely the largest one for Python right now. Ja
