Yeah, but it's written in a modular way and extending it is not as painful as one would expect. I actually went that way and wrote a couple of custom watchers for things like that.

Your first paragraph summarize why businesses want to use Cloudflare and how it helps them maintain their business. Your second paragraph talks about other (non-commercial) sites. I think I'm missing the link here. Why would the admins

I've used https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch before on Linux, it's actually quite good but takes a fair bit of fiddling to get good results.

I think it's called serverless or FaaS today? But why choose, just do all three at the same time! Actually you don't even have to choose, it will naturally happen when transitions are never fully completed... So before you know it

We (software agency) recently encountered this line of argument for the first time here in Germany. It definitely reduces costs to swap 3 platform support to 2, but it still came as a kind of surprise to me. They (customer) poured years and

It seems to me none of this is as clear cut as it seems. Government entities may hold shares in private companies, companies may act on voter's demands by accepting government grants. For some companies, government contracts are actual

Well, a cursory glance into the funding round shows an equity firm (Highland Europe) which had one of their partners moved into a director position at Deepski. Could be the guy collecting "AI leadership experience" for his resume.

Hm, without more details on the use case and assuming no "round trip to a network" means everything is running on a single host I see a couple of options: 1) Shared memory - use a cache/key-value lib which allows you to swap

Who or what will review the 5 PRs (including their updates to automated tests)? If it's just yet another agent, do we need 5 of these reviews for each PR too? In the end, you either concede control over 'details' and just tru

Wherever you look, the conclusion is the same - balance is required. Too many seniors, you get stuck in one way streets. Too many juniors, you trip over your own feet and diverge into unknown avenues. Mix AI in, I don't see how that ch

Your prior is objectively false, because Europe has the Stripe and Spotify founders (both of which became billionaires during the last 15 years or so).

Most likely we're not the only species to have achieved that state, and by the law of large numbers will eventually perish just like the others (if we don't manage to transcend this state).

I'm on board with the cheap offshore and bad incentives motiv, but feel this has to be augmented with a mention of the senior cowboy coder (who just went into retirement). Most likely in the future these stereotypes will be joined by v

You're right, I was assuming that once the unguided training/optimization methods become cheap enough to perform continuously (and maybe in parallel to inference) it would be indistinguishable from online learning. For true online

50 years might be overstating it a bit, lookup tables/hash maps were a novelty back then and available compute resources increased by many orders of magnitude... So maybe we actually had some real enablers in the meantime. My gut feeli
