No, this is absolutely not the reason. The reason is that many people benefit financially as long as the hype train keeps going choo choo. So they lie to our faces and sleep like babies at night.

You're welcome. I've started a couple of companies. The first time I went all in and I was lucky that it worked out. The second time, I went all in again but it didn't work out. The third time I started on the side and had on

I gladens me to see that the sentiment here on HN is getting increasingly critical of PG and other VCs and Silicon Valley figures. Let's just hope that PG doesn't decide to pull the plug on HN some day.

Don't go all in. Try starting your business on the side and see how it goes for a while.

> As the tech improves, at current rates Aha! The "current rates" there does some very heavy lifting. Nobody knows how LLMs will develop. It would be naive to assume that you can just extrapolate linearly from here on out.

My understanding is that even if you run behind Cloudfare, you need to secure your connection to Cloudfare with a certificate?

Interesting, thanks for the detailed explanation! I'm not very experienced with devops, so this is very helpful!

Might be, but I doubt that it is a full-time replacement for a mature browser like Firefox today.

Also exciting that Kamal 2 (currently RC https://github.com/basecamp/kamal/releases ) will support auto-SSL and make it easy to run multiple apps on one server with Kamal.

Very informative article and well written! I wonder why the default `busy_timeout` method has this exponential delay that punishes old old queries. Why does this make sense as the default?

I mean it does not seem like there's a bunch of personal data servers or web app instances people choose from, like there's in Mastodon (I know it's not the same technically). Therefore, it looks like Bluesky is much more cen

Sure, but I still haven't seen people really doing that.

In theory it is decentralized. But if you compare it to Mastodon for example, it's pretty centralized in practice. I haven't come across any people running their larger own servers, like I do on Mastodon.

Completely agree. In the end, it's all about the motivation and ethics of the owners. For an extereme example: OpenAI is "non-profit".

Crazy. And they don't get into legal trouble?

Yes, I'm also wondering this. Also, how do they get the source code?

I'm not an compiler expert, not by far. But my understanding is that if you compile the same code on the same machine for the same target, you'll get the same bits. Only minor things like timestamps that are sometimes introduced m

This is because of a very basic economic concept called "externalities": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality Very simply: Not all costs are included in the production costs of a good or service, they ar

Ok, but my understanding is that that they are mostly deterministic. And that there are initiatives like Reproducible Builds ( https://reproducible-builds.org ) that try to move even more in that direction.

I'm curious why a tech-first bank like Revolut is not building something like this internally if it's such an obvious cost-saving measure? I understand why traditional banks might not (no tech culture, old processes, all the usual

I don't know, Kim Dotcom's Wikipedia page reads like the one of sociopath criminal that masquerades as a fighter of the people against "the man". But the dude has done some real illegal shit, beyond "just" ille
