It's not reliable, and presenting it as-such shows a lack of understanding of basic security posture. Don't take my word for it, watch the news in <6 months and we'll certainly see it get bypassed.

Fair point! I guess I read "pacing the frontier" as "pacing the release of the frontier" surely no lab's internal research team is just going to stop innovating?

Something people don't seem to see, and not that it's placed directly in front of you, is that pacing the release and adoption of AI is already happening. Cost-per-token determines the economic viability of tasks that AI gets appl

I do something very similar. With some hacky string matching you can detect wether a window is available for reception and get past that. I desire a more robust system which injects the events into the harness directly, but haven't fou

Gigabit / 2.5 Gbit connectivity is already obsolete. Any modern product must have 10gbe WAN with the hardware to back up NAT at that throughput.

I mean, to be honest, I'm the one who sets the precedent for most of the teams that I work with; that's one of my roles. And personally, I don't necessarily follow a hard line with this. My Python API services run foregrounde

I would also add that the high-quality ones are quite expensive, and that I found incorporating an RJ45 switch with an SFP uplink was more economical for the cases that needed RJ45 (or gigabit) connectivity.

The concept of developing on a system which does not closely mirror your production environment died with virtualization and containerization over a decade ago. You will experience unforeseen consequences if your development environment doe

If you are implementing 10 GBE at distances less than 5-7 m, I highly recommend standardizing on DAC cabling. It removes the need for these kinds of conversions that create these kinds of heat signatures.

Fair point. I should have said "popularized in the modern software vernacular by Rust".

OpenClaw is an application, not a harness. Yes, it contains a harness, but it is a complete product. When building an agentic workflow there are enough primitives that rewriting them from scratch every time makes zero sense. What is a tool?

A builder pattern and decorators. Yes, Python has decorators, but they're best used as "filters" that apply to functions or methods. Cache this, serialize the output of this function always, prepare this function to be used

There are certainly edge cases where you want native USB and display, but after initial bring up, the device is on the network, and can be managed over the network. So, sure, nerd out and add more hardware to your rack, but I need a physica

Solve it and understand it; seems intuitive to me. I don't understand how that contradicts my question.

Isn't the whole point of the field of mathematics in a theoretical sense the pursuit of formal solutions? So, why would they be advocating for limitations on arriving at solutions?

Everyone's gonna frame this as "AI is dumb". And, yes, the current tech is pretty dumb. But this is a blatant misapplication of the technology in an obviously sensitive use case with an implementation that's so exploitab

Losing two weeks while you try out a candidates fit has way less cost than bringing the wrong person on formally and spending the next year debating wether they were the right choice or not with all of the associated "soft" overhe

This is my preferred proposal to new contacts as well (I set it up as a contract so there's a little less red tape, but even people that pursue me for traditional employment afterword usually land on an extended contract). Two things i

Fast is a Netflix product so the fact that you've even heard of it is in direct relation to the weight of the brand that launched it. speedtest.net has been the first search result on Google for "speed test" for decades. Part

Yeah these channels used to be respected in that way. And then app developers discovered that hooks like "look what you missed" work on users and so now we all have to get them in the same category.

I'm sorry but if you write Python functions/methods in camel case I can't take you seriously.

They most definitely have a person to talk to. They're not the largest Google Cloud user by far, but they are large enough to have human account reps.

The interesting and yet-to-be-explained part is why google flagged the account? Put all the timestamps you want in the post mortem about what you observed, but you haven't addressed the root cause. The "this doesn't make sens

It really doesn't bother me. The persistent flags about how people think something was AI generated are far noisier. Technically all of my replies are from an LLM, too; they all went through transformer-backed STT.

Appreciate the thoughtful reply. Absolutely agree the deterministic performance-oriented mindset is still essential for large workloads. Are you expecting that this supplements a traditional vector/semantic store or that it superceeds
