kids will just use their parents' credentials. it's not an edge case, it will actually just be a default behavior, I promise. platforms need to be safe by default, but that's the problem - safe by default doesn't play ni

Nice! I also did this for crypto tax calculations this tax season, because nearly every single offering is paid and needlessly expensive. I'm glad to see more people doing this, I think it's highway robbery to charge for tax softw

Haha, it's ironic this is a language (or regex line parser) for cybersecurity experts and itself has several security issues... 1) Ships pre-compiled binaries with no source code, tells you to wget && chmod +x && sudo m

Pretty cool! Some questions about security, because the Github and website make a lot of claims about being fully "secure" by default: 1) What exactly does "encrypted" protect against if there's no passphrase being

I don't have any solution for you, but I want to say thanks for caring about your students like this.

The real social network is the group chat / friend group you already have. Everything else is algorithmic brainrot with some kind of "friends list" for "legitimacy". The problem isn't the feed, it's that p

Ew. The content problem on TikTok was never the protocol, it's that 99% of short-form video is brainrot slop regardless of who hosts the servers. Slapping ActivityPub on it literally solves nothing for humanity.

Neat study, but I always chuckle at these, because has there ever been verified science that shows exercise is unhealthy ? (besides overtraining) The general consensus should just be exercising is good for you, that's it, done.

It's true that most problems can be solved with context + prompt. I have actively seen teams within large organizations complicate it into complex "agentic orchestration" just to impress leadership who lack the expertise to r

The metaphor is broken. The snowball grows passively over time naturally, but being a founder requires you to actively create value in your startup. Snow doesn't choose to stick to your ball based on PMF, and the entire piece romantici

It's ironic that doomscrollable social media feeds are built for low attention spans, because this website is the opposite. Gave up after 20 seconds.

Yann Lecun is a legend, no doubt, but, his critique is starting to become outdated. He wants the whole world to slow down and wait for his preferred paradigm, but everyone is out shipping instead. We have LLMs that pass BAR exams now and do

We strictly used AWS for everything and always preferred AWS-managed, so we always used SQS (and their built-in DLQ functionality). They made it easy to configure throttling, alerting, buffering, concurrency, retries etc, and you could easi

Great application of first principles. I think it's totally reasonable also, at even most production loads. (Example: My last workplace had a service that constantly roared at 30k events per second, and our DLQs would at most have orde

This is the same risk with any DLQ. The idea behind a DLQ is it will retry (with some backoff) eventually, and if it fails enough, it will stay there. You need monitoring to observe the messages that can't escape DLQ. Ideally, nothing

The core argument is fair. Data centers are objectively better than scattered on-prem compute, but the author is comparing the wrong baseline. The real question is whether the marginal societal value of another H100 cluster training for th

I share a general sentiment; however, the craft was never in sifting through Stack Overflow threads or reading mediocre docs for the 50th time. The craft is in architecture decisions, understanding trade-offs, and being skilled enough to kn
