Raft is a consensus protocol, which is very different from a gossip protocol.

The cloud console is pretty good though? Even does live sync! The old one for dedicated servers (robot) is horribly outdated though.

Surely the money coming in would otherwise have been investments exchanged for stock, which are not taxed until gains are realized.

Defaults and ecosystem approach matter a lot, though. The whole Rust ecosystem is heavily biased towards prioritising memory safety and "safe by construction" . This is evident in the standard library, in how crates approach API d

Anyone capable of programming and willing to invest enough time will be able to learn Rust, in my opinion. It might take some people months rather than days, but I think that is a desirable outcome. Important low level software should be wr

GCP is pretty good though, considering the complexity. Azure is ... a different story...

Ah, thanks for the hint. I indeed was not enabling it. I'll give it a try!

Even in Dioxus the usefulness is somewhat limited right now though. (dioxus-7-rc.3) It usually only works when reordering elements, or changing static values (styles, attributes, etc). Which, to be fair, does speed things up a lot when tink

Virtualized lists and tables are amazing! So many UI frameworks don't have these and require building them yourself...

> Kinda seems like a middle-finger to Microsoft I think it might be more the opposite! They could be staying away to not intrude into Microsoft's "turf". MS is also pushing lots of AI integrations.

The recent prioritisation of the Apple ecosystem is interesting. Sorra, Atlas, buying Sky. There have been signs that Apple is going with Anthropic instead of OpenAI for integrating AI features. This may partially be an aggressive strategic

IMO gpt5-codex medium is much better as soon as the task becomes slightly complex, or the context grows a bit. Sora 4.5 tends to randomly hallucinate odd/inappropriate decisions and goes to make stupid changes that have to be patched u

Ah, fair, I missed it when reading the post because the approach seemed more complicated.

For interrupting long-running syscalls there is another solution: Install an empty SIGINT signal handler (without SA_RESTART), then run the loop. When the thread should stop: * Set stop flag * Send a SIGINT to the thread, using pthread_kill

For a potential pilot (username), you are jumping to odd conclusions here... * This looks relatively convincing. https://avherald.com/h?article=52e80701 https://x.com/oeingoboeing/status/1979588783

I have similar views on many points, see my response to a sibling comment. I just think that effects of the AI bubble bursting would be at most a symptom or trigger of much larger geopolitical and financial shifts that would happen anyway.

It may well be that an AI bubble burst is the tipping point, but I think that tipping point was coming either way. The US admin has been (almost desperately) trying to prop up markets and an already struggling economy. If it wasn't AI,

Sure, but all of the above have solid businesses that rake in lots of money, revenue based on AI is a small percentage for them. An AI bust would take the stock price down a good deal, but the stock gains have been relatively moderate. Year

by the_duke 1y ago
People keep spouting this, but I don't see how the AI bubble bursting would be all that devastating. 2008 was a systemic breakdown rippling through the foundations of the financial system. It would lead to a market crash (80% of gains

In my experience gpt5-codex (medium) and codex-cli is notably better than Sonnet 4.5 and claude-code. (note: never tried Opus) It is slower, but the results are much more often correct and it doesn't rush into half-baked solutions&#x2F

It doesn't really make sense to compare this to regular VM pricing I think. This is a on-demand managed container service with a convenient API, logging, global placement in 300+ locations, ... AWS Lambda is probably closer in terms of

Let's hope agent CLIs adopt the ACP protocol, instead of having to do hacky shims.

That middle ground for me is what I like to call "proposal driven development". Ideas, concepts, implementation plans are first written down as a proposal, which is read by others and discussed online. Meetings are only required i

All the suggestions feel similarly corporate. The "parted ways" phrasing would probably annoy me quite significantly. We didn't "part ways", they fired me.

They are a very popular "high end" server colocation provider and have their own network with many peering agreements. A lot of large companies put their servers into Equinix data centers.

That's by design of course. Rising tide lifts all boats.

Why so? Specs for other languages are also for a specific version/snapshot. It's also a specific version of a compiler that gets certified, not a compiler in perpetuity, no matter what language.
