tempest_··on Token growth indicates future AI spend per dev
Maybe 60-70k nominally but where can you get one that isnt in its entire rack configuration
tempest_··on Auf Wiedersehen, GitHub
Not all open sources licenses are MIT or as permissive as MIT
tempest_··on Self-Signed JWTs
Back in the day I worked at a place that had HMAC signing on an http endpoint.

50% of the support issues were because people could not properly sign requests and it caused me to learn how to make http in all sorts of crap to help support them.

tempest_··on I'm switching to Python and actually liking it
JS devs do, and there are a lot of them
tempest_··on Perplexity launches Comet, an AI-powered web browser
No public company can be "benevolent"

Apple still makes 10s of billions a year letting Google be the default search, they have a vested interest in maintaining that revenue.

Plus whatever "values" they have will go right out the window if the golden iphone shaped Goose ever stumbles.

tempest_··on A Typology of Canadianisms
Just go hiking in the spring.

Got a soaker in April when I stepped on some snow that has hiding a deep puddle on a trail.

tempest_··on A Typology of Canadianisms
Converter was definitely heard when I was growing up and I would know what you were talking about 100%

Now a days I am probably more likely to say "Clicker" unless otherwise prompted.

tempest_··on Switching Pip to Uv in a Dockerized Flask / Django App
I am perfectly content for a 90% solution, we should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
tempest_··on IRS Direct File on GitHub
It is nested sure but the entire thing fits on 1080p monitor
tempest_··on Fast Allocations in Ruby 3.5
At this point from the outside looking in Ruby is Rails at this point.
tempest_··on Show HN: Juvio – UV Kernel for Jupyter
Likely uses https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/#improving-reproduc...
tempest_··on Try Switching to Kagi
Very likely due to the cost of the maps api.
tempest_··on LibreLingo – FOSS Alternative to Duolingo
Duolingo is sorta like flashcards and I think it makes a good easy entry into learning
tempest_··on IBM orders US sales to locate near customers, RTO for cloud staff, DEI purge
The metaphor breaks down a bit when you consider that teachers don't generally get to pick their students while organizations get to choose their employees. Failing to choose the right employees is a failure of management.
tempest_··on Kagi Assistant is now available to all users
Aha has this person never seen the JS google/CF run for bot detection?

The browser APIs spit out so much info about the host system on demand and that doesnt even consider the other tricks they use.

tempest_··on Kagi Assistant is now available to all users
That is totally unsurprising. I would be curious to see what they are doing to achieve that. Likely automating something and not using it like a typical human would.
tempest_··on IBM orders US sales to locate near customers, RTO for cloud staff, DEI purge
This often just feels like bad management.

They go remote, but don't change a lot of other things or attempt to mitigate the downsides (there are downsides, everything is a trade off) and then claim its a failure when they need a stealth layoff.

Also IBM has a long history of "Resource Actions" so this type of thing is not all unexpected from them.

tempest_··on DHL suspends B2C shipments over 800 USD until further notice
Many people do not even know where their order originates.
tempest_··on ChatGPT now performs well at GeoGuesser
Yeah but you also cant be off by 40km with your drone strike.
tempest_··on An Intro to DeepSeek's Distributed File System
We have a couple ceph clusters.

If my systems guys are telling me the truth is it a real time sink to run and can require an awful lot of babysitting at times.

tempest_··on Show HN: Browser MCP – Automate your browser using Cursor, Claude, VS Code
The caveat with these things is usually "when used with high quality proxies".

Also I assume this extension is pretty obvious so it wont take long for CF bot detection to see it the same as playwrite or whatever else.

tempest_··on Why does Britain feel so poor?
Of course that is true but it undeniably helps. I wonder if postwar Britain watching its hegemony decline will be anything like the current decline of the US.
tempest_··on Meta spotted testing AI-generated comments on Instagram
Makes sense.

You can increase interaction and thus ad revenue when people think there are others to interact with.

The optics are pretty shit though.

tempest_··on Show HN: FastOpenAPI – automated docs for many Python frameworks
Honestly it is mostly caused by people from the machine learning end of the ecosystem not understanding how cooperative multitasking works and trying to bolt a web framework to their model.

That coupled with the relative immaturity of the python async ecosystem leads to lots of rough edges. Especially when they deploy these things into heavily abstracted cloud ecosystems like Kubernetes.

FastAPI also trys to help by making it "easy" to run sync code but that too is an abstraction that is not majorly documented and has limitations.

tempest_··on SoftBank Group to Acquire Ampere Computing for 6.5B
The main problem with those is the memory controller starts to degrade a lot when you use all 128 of those cores.

We were doing some testing and > 96 cores at 100% caused a massive degradation in performance. We ended up going with dual 32C/64T Epycs (which cost twice as much) as a result. If they fix it in the Altra One chips they will be back on the table though because they were very good power wise for our workload and quite price competitive in a supermicro chassis.

tempest_··on Nvidia Dynamo: A Datacenter Scale Distributed Inference Serving Framework
The standard lib is not "bad" it just is modular to avoid C++ like pitfalls.

People doing web dev in python could use pythons native json but rarely do because there are other far more performant options for example.

tempest_··on Goravel: A Go framework inspired by Laravel
Is there an actual example of this in the wild?

I have seen things that generate server stubs but have not encountered something that enforces things like error code/response types etc.

tempest_··on Goravel: A Go framework inspired by Laravel
That link is not what they want. That takes openapi spec and writes go code.

They want something that reads the go code they have written and creates an openapi spec used to generate clients in other languages.

tempest_··on US Ends Support For Ukrainian F-16s
Probably don't even need to work that hard. The Saudis got a bunch of nuclear secrets the first round so I am sure F35 info can be brought to Mar a lago.
tempest_··on Apple M3 Ultra
Nvidia has had the Grace Hoppers for a while now. Is this not like that?
