Maybe I'm getting too skeptical. I have a feeling increasingly many of the comments on HN and the GitHub issue are just bots ragebaiting other people (incl. the maintainer)...

One thing that OpenRouter makes easy is the ability to manage API keys (mint new ones, expiry/limits per key, etc.) that I wish that other providers would make possible/easier. So many use cases, like sharing AI/assisted feat

Is the intent of Linux the architecture, or the philosophy of free / open source software?

Also curious. With tool calls reading/searching different files, possible compacting reading a large codebase / long threads, I can't imagine how you hit 99% cache rate.

Let's go one step further and think about why OSS maintainers generally approach security vulnerabilities the way they do (even pre-AI), and why some people has a significant negative reaction to this type of bug/security/iss

Reading this and mitchellh's post I was curious about code archival services, and found a few projects. GitHub has their own: https://archiveprogram.github.com/ Software Heritage is a non-profit funded by UNESCO: htt

I would be very curious which programmers you have in mind when comparing to llms. Like the median programmer, or like the top 10%. I feel like we've passed the point where an average-effort Claude Code / Cursor / Codex initi

Hmm I would hope that's for better quality (if there's somehow model-specific optimizations) or search/retrieval methods down the line. But can't help but feel like the labs/providers might try to lock-in customers

I'm still optimistic. I think the number hasn't gone down, just the ratio. Software still offers a relatively well paid and comfortable career, so you naturally get people who just want to do a good job and that's it. Nothing

I think it doesn't need to be a large X% increase, just needs to hit some critical infra threshold where various services start failing and cascade. Weakest link and everything.

I suspect the harness (of which AGENTS and skills and similar things) should be abstracted for better overall performance. This article doesn't really go into detail about model preferences, but some other benchmarks show that differen

This is more a harness thing signaling the presence or forcing a read on AGENTS/CLAUDE.md right?

I think it's more people are checked out (and AI is one part of it yes), made worse by orgs who don't know how to lead/manage/change effectively. FWIW, some people used to (or still do) say similar things that software i

Ah that’s super cool. Wish I knew about this a week earlier. Just last week I got the iLoud sub to correct speakers for my living room because I wanted a standalone piece of equipment that’s not my PC that can hold the corrected EQ/pha

How would you get into an inconsistent state based on an fsync change? Edit: I meant what sequence of events would cause etcd to go into an inconsistent state when fsync is working this way

by weiliddat 8mo ago
Yes, but they wrote it’s for a demo and it’s fine if they lost the last few seconds in the event of unexpected system shutdown. And also in prod, etcd recommends you run with SSDs to minimize variance of fsync/write latencies

How did you arrive at that calculation? For an average day (incl. "non-working" hours) the brain uses far less at ~300Wh, and if you include the body the average person needs ~2.3 kWh. In the rest of the article, they estimate inf

Yeah PPD is more useful, although for ultrawide I’ve also heard it’s common to have it closer than regular viewing distance, so that you can glance at side screens / information

Not the OP, but I’ve been thinking about why LLMs feel different and I think it’s closer to the chair analogy than I initially thought. Not able to fully articulate it but here’s my try. Conventionally programming software needed you to kno

I’m using Amp as my main coding agent (outside of work), and they have free mode with ads. It used to be that free mode let you used it with lower cost models like GLM, Kimi K2, etc. but recently they they switched that to a daily $10 limit

Thanks for the insight and history. Glad to be corrected. Was it in a different nature to current VC funded FOSS though? It sounds like their contributions to FOSS was tangential and not the sold product? Maybe a bit more like Google and Ch

I feel similarly. Sounds a bit like other crafts that were later industrialized and (partially) mechanized, like woodworking and carpentry. One can certainly enjoy the laborious handcrafted process of building your own table, and yet go bac

That sounds like more sign of recent times. FOSS software that many rely on that has been around for a while were non-VC: VCS, Linux / GNU / BSD, web browsers, various programming languages, various databases...

Don’t want to ding strato exclusively, likely the case for most $1-$4/month type hosting. Not bad as long as you know what you’re getting yourself into.

by weiliddat 9mo ago
IME strato is OK for cheap VPSes as long as you don’t have high expectations. 5-6 years ago, I remember trying to scale up to the 16/32GB tier was miserable and oversubscribed; moving to Hetzner at the same price point brought a huge p

Oh cool, very interesting approach! Did a quick test, since before this I also used some very ad-heavy p2p solution, and I see similar issues there. Not sure if you're looking for feedback, but these were all issues I considered before
