You test the backup before sending it to Glacier

It's for agentic use

> - Napkin math somewhere around 6B people (~75% of the population) have barely come in contact with LLMs at all.

5B people use Google monthly, which has an AI response to almost every search/query now.

This line has been added at some point and ruins the joke. Finishing on "The toaster laughed" is funny because it's unexpected.

I think half the article talks about why CL is good because it can resume from an exception, and half the article talks about why DSLs are good.

I think others have pointed out that most modern scripting languages can halt at exceptions without unwinding the stack. Python & Node both support this with core tooling.

As for DSLs, they constrain the LLM which generally helps with code quality. However why implement your DSL in the unconstrained chaos of CL? You can write DSLs in Rust which gives you static typing, a borrow checker, and clippy.

The first time you get an AI email, it's interesting. The hundredth time it won't be.

It would probably look a lot like existing S3 concepts that have explicit hot and cold tiers. For example Intelligent Tiering, or Glacier.

This is covering for Tristan saying something like, "Actually, I was using my friend's account for half of this work".

It's four pages below the fold. The fact this is a paid tool is deliberately obscured.

Is this really ergonomic?

Because IOT devices are cheap and networks are ad hoc, flaky connectivity is a likely occurrence. Thread must be reliable in these situations.

How many houses in Britain have wiring that is less than 800 W away from starting a fire? How many of those houses have the disposable income to buy a plug in battery?

Yes, more electricity means more risk of fire. But 800W batteries do not seem like a major safety issue

Come on, "not publicly available"? You know how git works right? Each Claude release probably has the HEAD of main compiled as "1.4.0" until there is a real official release.

Paying customers get LTS. Are any paying customers asking for a Zig branch LTS? Or are you expecting open source maintainers to do free work for no particular reason?

AI training uses wildly more compute than most companies, who are generally building domain specific CRUD apps.

Compare AI costs per-engineer-salary-dollar, because more expensive engineers probably need more expensive AI.

It was Gemini Flash, probably an even faster variant optimised for immediate response on search pages.

Showing overseas based workers of Microsoft as another company name on caller ID is a phishing risk.

It might take a large org several years to migrate off core systems like VMWare. If you think the customer is likely to churn within a few years anyway it makes economic sense to hike their fee.

As the article mentions towards the end, AWS EKS, GCP GKE, and other competitors have made k8s setup turnkey. You can deploy a new cluster with all the controllers you mentioned in a single click / Terraform.

AWS ECS and GCP Cloud Run are this. Run a container on abstract compute. But they aren't "without all that complexity" because it turns out all that complexity is required for even simple use-cases. Load balancing with SSl certs, cloud API keys, deployment pipelines, sidecars, etc.

If the real credentials owner was running the agent, why do it from a new GitHub account?

Someone's bug tracker account was hacked.

Firstly, none of this post is the contract people are signing. So it's merely a summary.

Secondly, like all contracts I'm sure there will be exceptions for holding data longer than 30 days with reasonable cause, eg a legal hold.

NPM is getting all the attacks and attention because it is the biggest. But there's nothing language specific to this class of attacks.

Nice. It would have been interesting to dive into the exact differences in components. Are higher wattage PSUs in a series just using higher rated components or does the quality go up too?

I agree that many skills are overblown and unnecessary. But there's a lot of value in giving AI the right process. See how much more effective Claude can be for moderate or large changes when using the superpowers skill.

There can be problems with open source projects run by for-profit companies, but this fork seems a little premature.

And it's unnecessarily rude. Grammarly and Hemingway can identify the same sort of issues without "you are a stupid robot" vibes.

If Finney and Back were working together, why does Finney post a lot as himself through Satoshi's existence while Back does not?

That implies it's just Back who was the Satoshi poster. And if so, you don't have any evidence Finney is a technical co-founder.

Doesn't that break password manager autofill?
