You realize he's not a native English speaker, right? His English grammar is better than my Italian, so I don't feel the need to criticize.
Not every application uses LLMs the same way. For some use-cases, price per 1M tokens is absolutely meaningful. Eg, we do a lot of pretty basic classification/entity-extraction/summarization type work on large inputs…
Inrupt, TBL's company, is doing SOLID for enterprise customers.
Have you looked at the W3C's SOLID standard? I haven't looked deeply into what you're doing, but it sounds like a less interoperable version of what SOLID already does. https://solidproject.org/TR/protocol
Interesting to read the comments and see the reaction here. I didn't use Fable (just Opus and Gemini) but I recently ported the `djlint` Python library to Rust, also relying heavily on LLMs (but not trying to one-shot…
No. Right now I'm upset that Google has removed (or at least is in the process of removing) the Gemini 2.0 flash model. We use it for some pretty basic functionality because it's cheap and fast and honestly good enough…
Last time I went through SOC 2 we talked to our auditor about this. His view was that there are and basically always have been auditors/companies that will sign off on anything without verifying it if you're paying…
Shameless self-promotion, but my own post on Ratchets from a few years back: https://thraxil.org/users/anders/posts/2022/11/26/Ratchet/ Similar basic idea, slightly different take.
Leonard Susskind's "The Theoretical Minimum" series is a great start. His corresponding Stanford lectures are on youtube as well and are a nice supplement.
Nope. Out of the box GCP Cloud SQL instance.
Yep. We have tables that use UUIDv4 that have 60M+ rows and don't have any performance problems with them. Would some queries be faster using something else? Probably, but again, for us it's not close to being a…
I switched from EE to CS (well, "Computer Engineering" technically) in the late 90s. Not specifically due to Smith charts, but that's relatable. For me it was just realizing that I was procrastinating on doing my EE…
Obviously nothing solid to back this up, but I kind of feel like I was seeing emojis all over github READMEs on JS projects for quite a while before AI picked it up. I feel like it may have been something that bled over…
Erlang/Elixir supervision trees also rely on process linking, which is implemented in BEAM and doesn't have a real equivalent in most other language runtimes (modulo some attempts at copying it like Akka, Proto.Actor,…
Yeah, I switched from XMonad (which I used for over a decade) to Sway a few years back. Spent some time trying to duplicate the XMonad behaviour but eventually just realized that spending a few hours getting used to the…
The description of the "meta framework": * Thesis/Starting Argument * Counter-Argument (paper requirement from Naval War College) * Rebuttal (different perspective, not your starting argument) Sounds like someone…
I've always just gone to the youtube channel page, view source, search for "rss", copy the URL and paste it into my feed reader. It would be great if it was more discoverable, but it's not really like you need a whole…
You can write a parser and type checker for pretty much any language in pretty much any language. It's just text files as input and text as output.
Like a globe?
The risk isn't that much that your employer gaining access to your email (though you may potentially be risking the contents of emails that you view from that machine getting saved and accessed by someone at the…
It seems like you've kind of missed both of my points. If you're doing canary deploys to a fleet of 2000 nodes, it might take hours for the config to make it to all of them (I've seen systems where a fleet upgrade can…
I would add two things: It's often important that flag changes be atomic. Having subsequent requests get different flag values because they got routed to different backend nodes while a change is rolling out could cause…

The Agile Manifesto is what kicked it all off. Scrum, etc. and all the other "agile" stuff that people complain about now just latched onto the word. The equivalent would be that if Jesus had personally written down his…
