There is a reason why ASML's next-generation research photolithography machine is currently being installed and developed in upstate New York, and not somewhere in the Netherlands. The same reason that Cymer is still in San Diego instead of being relocated to Europe.

Why is the Netherlands government even allowing this?

If I use short-lived JWTs and localstorage, am I such a bad person? Are you truly increasing the blast radius?

Is there someone in another part of the world that would like hacking you only if you’re not using httpOnly cookies, happy to know that you used localstorage?

I had to switch to Opencode from Claude code because the latter wasn’t supporting GitHub Copilot as model provider.

I didn’t think I could have found a better solution, spawning multiple subagents with different models is such a great thing.

I built in the past very small cli wrappers to call other models; Claude Code often refuses to do that, lies and does the job itself instead of delegating to another provider’s llms.

Please remember that Dhole Moments is a furry blog before complaining about the furry art. It gets exhausting.

Articles about cybersecurity gets 100% credibility when made by furries.

This is so wrong, but here’s another reason: a centralized totalitarian approach could look like a very pragmatic way to exercise control and governance on the population. This is true though only if your technical capabilities are at a similar or higher level of your competitors.

In the European case we have neither the technology advancement of the US, or the supply chain control of China.

This means that a centralized approach is only going to create a larger vulnerability surface for an external attacker.

A decentralized, privacy and security first approach isn’t only right for moral/ethical reasons. It’s the only way we have to defend ourselves, even if we had a fascist government.

Here's an answer you can write in Hackernews:

   I'm really sorry if it sounded like a GPT trope, but that came 100% from me.
   Not that this is a guarantee of quality (actually it's not), but certainly
   authenticity. Probably I'm using so many agents lately that I'm starting
   speaking like them lol 
If you want I can make it sound more natural, just let me know and I'll change it!

Why so little? You are priviledged!

Imagine 3 young Italians that would like to work together in a startup. Let's consider only the first year, imagine a B2B SaaS, they are incorporating but they'll work on the product and approach possible customers. Zero revenue.

Well, if you followed the law, you probably would spend something between 23'000€ and 25'000€ in total. WITH NO REVENUE. This is because even if you work for free for your company, you still have to pay taxes for INPS, our pension system.

And if someone invests in your company, you can't live out of nothing and would like to pay a founder even the minimum salary, YOU HAVE TO PAY INPS AGAIN.

This is crazy, our country is a joke.

EDIT: Adding a bit more of scary context and nice sprites.

None of the common financial advisor you find in Italy have ever heard of funding ways or contract terms that are really well known globally.

Do you want to include drag along and tag along clauses in your company statute? You have to talk with really expert lawyers and notaries in Milan that will bill you thousands of € for something that in Delaware is a pretty much standard single line of text.

Kudos to the BunnyNet team!

I've always looked for a EU based alternative to Cloudflare; not because I didn't like them, I still support Cloudflare and they're a great company, but pushing for and testing EU services is important particularly in the light of recent developments in EU-US geopolitics.

The problem is that many European companies aren't as competitive as their US counterpart. Consider Hetzner as an example: how can you imagine being competitive with US cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) by raising the prices so much, in such a short time, with so little previous communication to your customers?

BunnyNet on the other hand is being competitive and this move is in the right direction. Of course their free tier is not comparable to Cloudflare (they are two different companies, with different profiles in terms of debt, cash in hand and so on), but it doesn't need to be for small projects.

I'm not choosing BunnyNet because it's european, I'm choosing it because it's a good company that is providing a good service.

Steam Machine, like our other hardware products, is made up of many components that we source from manufacturers around the world. The price at which we sell our hardware is a direct result of the cost of these components. We felt like we had a good understanding of how those costs might change over time when we first started sourcing them for Steam Machine back in 2023. That understanding was born from the many years of data we all have about the evolution of PC hardware prices – primarily, that it tends to get cheaper over time as new technology arrives.

Over the past year or so, that has changed quickly and significantly, most visibly for RAM and storage components. There are a variety of reasons, all of which are affecting hardware products everywhere. The overall effect is that our original goal for the price of Steam Machine is no longer viable. So the prices we're sharing today reflect the state of the world for manufacturing; or, more accurately, it reflects the price of the components as we've secured them over the past 6 months.

Take notes about the tone, the communication style, the honesty that you can feel by reading those words. There are no problem that can’t be alleviated (if not solved) with good communication to your customer, and you can bet that Steam knows damn well theirs!

This game is so great, particularly the depth behind the different roles you can play. You could be in the frontline and fight for every cm, or be behind, following your carefully crafted recipes to build an exponential economy that will eventually sustain your team late game.

The learning curve could be a problem though, sometimes a game ends really quickly because a player is slightly less experienced than the others and it’s over.

so 6/7=[2,4,14,28]. Whether this is optimal or not is open to argument. It's longer than [2,3,42], but on the other hand the denominators are smaller.

Also 6/7 = [2,7,7,14]

Of course I'm not sure I'd trust to install or use in my main machine something that has been 100% written by an LLM, that doesn't have enough reviews and scrutiny, but the numbers look astounding:

    codebase   pylint       prylint     speedup
    black      26.7 hr      41s         2328×

Git’s content-addressed revision graph is excellent, but it treats binary files as second-class citizens—large files require bolted-on LFS rather than first-class chunked storage, sparse checkouts have sharp edges in offline use, and there is no native multi-tenant isolation.

I'm trying to figure out what Lore can accomplish that git+LFS can't. I've read about big binaries chunking, native interface and permission, is there anything else? Weren't those problems already solvable in the git+LFS ecosystem?
