Ah, Jetbrains must be touching a different part of the elephant. My related experience is with compiling C++ programs meant for human people to run on their own home computers. I imagine internal company dev projects like Jetbrains would co

Indeed. It's really exposing a major downside to running applications in browser context. It never really made sense. These applications really don't want public traffic like actual websites do. They should remain applications and

Luckily most C++ developers don't immediately jump on and begin using backwards incompatible features. The C++ community is still only recently generally requiring C++11. And that's great. Introduce new features but don't imm

And poor, sloppy, website implementation. If your professional website can't handle 20k hits it's ... well, poor. Because my home connection hosted on my desktop PC website tanked 20k hits from alibaba bot (among a few more thousa

To me it sounds like these people are operating websites that don't work. My home internet (80 down, 5 up) connection hosted website handled 20k+ hits from the alibaba ai crawler yesterday without missing a beat. And many thousands mor

True. But it's more like most sites don't work anymore. They can't run without javascript and lack any content but blank pages.

If you can't see how CF is throwing around it's weight I can only assume the traditional Upton Sinclair quote applies. The vast majority of sites operate without a CSP (only 7% of Alexa’s top 1 million sites have a valid CSP circa

HTTP/3 isn't really HTTP. It's a protocol designed to deliver javascript applications to a browser. It's not even TCP. It's UDP and then a CA TLS only layer of QUIC on top of that. It is entirely designed for large

It's kind of odd that this same article gets two separate front page threads in 4 days. It's a repost. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43353240

Just because some evil is a standard policy does not mean it's excused. The sending of broad NDA just to address a problem with Cloudflare itself is more throwing it's weight around again ala, "I woke up this morning in a bad

The entire premise that "bots" need to be blocked is, in most contexts, just a social hysteria and not coming from actual technical or economic requirements. "Bot" blocking causes far more harm to human persons than woul

The problems here are: 1. Using baked-in CA TLS certs which leads to trialware/expireware. 2. Setting up a support thread than closing it right before the problem happens so as to avoid feedback on 1. (3. Setting up the CA TLS system r

If it is a site you use a lot (which is happening more and more) it's important to make sure the site owner is aware of the problem. I usually do this by email. Then they can ask cloudflare to fix it and get rebuffed and sour their opi

Being the change you want to see in the world is not a bad thing and should always be the first step before bringing up coercive force for others. There are better browsers and there are other options and not changing your own behavior firs

Battery energy density has come a long way but I have a hard time believing a 400g battery can do much at 800w (even just peak) for long. Moving large masses like human bodies requires a lot of energy. The ergonomics of this design look muc

Just as long as you now give your trust to the Kagi made browser extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kagi-privacy-... ) that is required and has access to your browser. Big yikes.

That's not how llama.cpp works. It's a layer split. The GPUs handle a few layers and the CPU handles the rest. The GPU layers no matter how fast they complete still have to wait on the CPU layers.
