Rewriting Redis in Rust sounds genuinely useful when you want to rely on it as a library. Maintaining byte-for-byte parity with newer versions of Redis sounds like being in debt; why not rely on your fork instead?

I miss the days when HTML injection bugs were considered a feature. The Internet was a lot more innocent before normies and money got involved.

I second this; even switching between minor versions of a model, you need to adjust prompts: the new model is better by implying a bunch of things that, when included in the prompt, will overdo that thing. Assessing quality of output is oft

Some quick research: Denmark to Iceland is ~2300 km which has a theoretical one-way signal propagation of ~11.5ms. Real-world round-trip time would be 25-35ms though. So for certain AI workloads, network is probably not the bottleneck.

I’m not sure how you can say something general about the quality of tests unless you mean by simply prompting “make tests” or similar. Yes, I’ve experienced that those tests succeed, and the app still breaks trivially on first run. What I m

Yes, I just wanted to clarify that "businesses maximize profit", they don't necessarily maximize the unit price. Thanks for squinting and finding sense in how I said it. It's been 12 years since I took an econ course.

Tangled and Radicle are both really cool, but add too much mental gymnastics compared to just running Forgejo. What I like about (the idea of) ForgeFed is that it lets existing forges speak to each other. In practice I probably just need Fo

I use AI for Kubernetes. On a day-to-day basis, it runs 80%+ of my kubectl commands. It’s the most steroidal auto-complete I’ve tried. But I do get dumber for it. What I do to compensate: - make it my duty to own every change, i.e. cogn

That's actually interesting: Like when games detect aimbots, they don't ban people, but put them in an aimbot bracket, so everyone you play with is a cheater. Provide a captcha that is essentially harder for a human to solve, but

This reminds me of what "Hell Mod" did to Diablo I: Basically reinvented the game as it would have been if Blizzard hadn't been constrained by money or time, and knew what worked from their sequels. Only to Sim City.

It’s a good point. Going over each item is what works for us. But I still extract from the bank and into a spreadsheet so we have full control. The only thing spreadsheets lack is double entry.
