All of my boxes are cheap VPS. Highly recommend people throw Cloudflare in front of their stuff. I switched all of my load balancers over to there and all of that bot crap went away. That combined with a proper UFW setup keeps the weather c

As far as I understand, the real motivation was to catch him for a warrant but using the presumption (false until proven with evidence beyond his car traveling between states) of him buying weed and transporting it across state lines as t

I don't think I've laughed quite as hard as I did the first time I heard Carl's Jr., fuck you, I'm eating.

The pretext is that his travel to another state was assumed to be to buy weed. They appear to be relying on his existing warrant and criminal record to justify having used Flock data to not just locate him, but manufacture probable cause.

Same experience for me. I routinely have to say "no, use the tool" or "no, read your skills." More frustrating than anything but I've definitely noticed models [1] struggling to grab the right tool without me steeri

FWIW, I switched to K3 last week and only went back (begrudgingly) to Opus when I hit a rate limit. First open model I haven't had the itch to leave on the shelf. It works as well as Opus 4.7/4.8 and in many cases (anecdotal, dail

I think we're going to see a sort of "intelligence caste" form. People who overuse AI and atrophy their brain's ability to think will be on the bottom, while the inverse of those people will be on top. This is somewhat g

Thanks for sharing this, Bart :) Agree that it's about looking at this stuff less-so adversarially and more as a companion that needs the occasional nudge back onto the right path. Starred up dj2 and Determine, those look like cool pro

You're right and I'd argue that the approach I'm suggesting in this post gets your delivery schedule more aligned with weeks/months than with quarters/years. What we have now produces quarters/years delays (and

I'm the author. If you do go fast and don't deprive your customers of your product but the product breaks and doesn't deliver its intended value, is that a better tradeoff? Re: AI development, I'd say it's foolish t

I'm the author. Deadlines are artificial constraints (typically, some deadlines are unshakable—eg "we have to launch the payload when conditions are clear") that, imo, distract from the actual goal or task at hand. Sadly, a d

This is awesome. Been a CodePen user/fan since it launched (and a fan of Chris/CSS-Tricks for even longer). Really nice to see CodePen evolving. I don't use it as much as I used to but every so often I hack something up in it

I mean the "x amount" is relative to your existing skill level, right? It's worth asking ourselves "why does the x amount matter?" I get the desire to define KPIs to estimate productivity gains. But this all seems t

Fascinating to watch America destroy itself bit by bit in submission to fear over a new, poorly understood technology. The ripple effects of this will be unreal to watch.

I work for myself. A quick check of my profile here would make that clear. And yes, it's a legitimate threat to frontier models. Both K3 and the distillation approach.

Just tried K3 out for the first time today and it's a legitimate threat. Temporarily (maybe permanently) using it as my daily driver but it's wild how comparable it is to Opus 4.7/4.8 (what's been my go to for a bit now—

#1 isn't entirely true. It's a soft-gate but you are legally required to verify age on your site before completing the purchase (I run a boutique cigar brand [1]). [1] https://philosophercigars.com
