vindex10··on Devvm.dev: One VM for every project
add me as well. I learned about incus from HN ~a month ago, and was poking an idea of having a "development base image". The advantage compared to containers, is that you can hot-plug devices to the running instance: mounts, secrets, etc. incus also supports --vm and container mode with minimal difference in cli commands.

https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/

my main bottleneck was exactly in usability: how to make it least effort to spin up per use case and keep the set of operating scripts small - i didn't want to build an app for this, just shortcuts to use existing app.

vindex10··on Ontology-Driven Observability: Building an End-to-End Knowledge Graph at Netflix
Just listened to the Pragmatic Engineer podcast on Uber AI infra, https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/ubers-ai-infra-fr...

it seems they are using a similar ontology called "context graph", used as a navigation layer for the ai agent.

Apparently about something ))

just unsure who's original ))

vindex10··on Vomit: Clean up Claude 5's token output with a separate LLM
It's almost like learning sdk every time new model is released.

It's ironic how initially it was sold as "coding in plain English", and now we are back to sdk ))

vindex10··on Git at any scale
Came here to share a related fact :)

This solution with WAL and compact resembled the database internals as taught by Martin Kleppmann.

I asked Claude about this observation, and learned that the author (Vicent Martí) wasn't only core Github developer but also worked on Vitess from PlanetScale.

So no surprise these two contexts resulted in the design of Continuity as it is.

https://vitess.io/ - Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL.

vindex10··on Reticulum – Decentralized Mesh Network
I think it was named so for a reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum

personally i find it a beautiful match

vindex10··on What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
It's a bit aside, but what i love about ORM frameworks is that they try to find the universal interface to multiple database backends. For basic CRUD it's nice: test on sqlite deploy wherever.

Thanks! A lot of fun!

I'm using Liberation Mono, and it's missing :( i got PT Mono though.

vindex10··on JUCE plugins soon be back on Wine
It's been a year since many VSTs based on JUCE8 stopped working on Linux due to nonstandard handling of Wine inside JUCE. Now the patch was merged, so hopefully we will see plugins coming back soon!
vindex10··on Kolakoski Sequence
it doesn't repeat at least:

> More generally, the sequence is cube-free, i.e., has no substring of the form w w w with w some nonempty finite string.

from wiki

vindex10··on Kolakoski Sequence
Is it a coincidence that it is number 2 in the OEIS?)
vindex10··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks

vindex10··on Ask HN: How do you safely give LLMs SSH/DB access?
for files, possibly sshfs / fuse with readonly mount

vindex10··on AI generated music barred from Bandcamp
They sent AI generated music away to Bannedcamp.
vindex10··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
I love how windows-linux discussion is populated by DAW/VST incompatibility. I'm still new to the industry, and therefore also open minded about daw/plugins.

I actually had good experience with setting up yabridge, it could have worked for me I think. But the elephant in the room is that many big commercial plugins use JUCE as a framework, and the recent release of JUCE (JUCE8) just broke compatibility with wine and seem to be sabotaging wine-based usage completely, and are not considering going back at the moment.

https://forum.juce.com/t/juce8-direct2d-wine-yabridge/64298/...

https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge/issues/386

There are patches based on binary diffs to JUCE7, but it is just so much pain to simply run the commonest plugins in the field :/

So I'm now kind of stuck between using windows with commercial plugins or use linux with mainly smaller scale alternatives (although there are good ones: lsp, decent sampler, cardinal, surge)

vindex10··on Show HN: European tech news in 6 languages
I'd prefer one digest of essential highlights of the week across all segments.

I like to be interested in "other segments". But if they are in a separate subscription/email - I will never prioritize to open it.

Thank you!

RSS or/and newsletter would be nice (but manually curated, not ai summary)

vindex10··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
some packages that I use for development need to be part of the virtual env. for example ipdb.

so i do uv pip install ipdb.

but then, after uv add somepackage

uv sync happens and cleans up all extras. to keep extras, you need to run uv sync --inexact. But there is no env var for `--inexact`, so I end up doing the sync manually.

I would also add UV_NO_SYNC as smth I had to learn. It comes in combination with uv pip
vindex10··on Should LLMs just treat text content as an image?
reminds me of the difference between fasttext and word2vec.

fasttext can learn words it haven't seen before by combining words from ngrams, word2vec can learn better meaning of the whole words, but then missing out on the "unknown words".

image tokens are "text2vec" here, while text tokens are a proxy towards building a text embedding of even unseen before texts.

vindex10··on Tangled, a Git collaboration platform built on atproto
If multiple services have multiple owners it becomes also a question of trust. You either validate one service that fits 80% of your requirements, or validate ten services where each solves one specific requirement.

Also, of course - economy of scale for the infrastructure / integrations between features. Monoliths are still a thing.

But yeah, I agree developer experience may be traded here.

vindex10··on RediShell: Critical remote code execution vulnerability in Redis
It's not only docker. ssh forward port forwarding also by default binds to 0.0.0.0, if `<local>` is missing.

``` ssh -L [<local>:]8000:remote:8000 hopping ```
