98% isn't much 15 days ago

Can you imagine a venue refusing entry to former clients 2% of the time just because they’ve “improved their experience”?

Sure, it's called a 'dress code'.

Well hang on a second I have two nodes running k3s. 8%??

Did you accidentally also swap out the CPU governor?

I mostly frequent forums hosting stuff westerns forums wont such as firmwares and roms.

Its perfectly fine for me, really. Sometimes I read nonsense in English and thats probably slang in Russian, yeah

Many people are not aware that this is mostly a English internet thing.

I still frequent a few forums in Dutch and Germen. Still around, still modded by volunteers, still great.

Since AI essentially solved translation I even frequent Russian forums again. Still rocking PhpBB often!

I live in the Netherlands.

In the summer the suns up at 5 am. But at 5am I am asleep. I could get up earlier but that's pointless since school and work doesn't start until 8.30.

So in stead of having an hour of sunlight before school and work we all change our clocks to have an hour of extra sunlight in the evening in stead, which fits our cultural preference for social activities.

We could also, as you say, change every single sign, post and display of opening hours for every school, business and organisation at the same time to achieve the same effect.

But in the real world changing the clock is simpler.

Europe was beaten down, broke and simply kaput.

Then it was split in a camp dependent on the US and a camp dependent on the USSR.

Both the US and USSR spent decades keeping us together but definitely not united.

This runs deep in European political culture.

Until 2 years ago many Dutch people had more in common and more trust in Americans than <insert European country>. If only because half of them go broke once every generation.

I use Hermes at home. Swapped out Openclaw for this. It seems to work better with smaller contexts, chuncking it up in smaller pieces.

I don't code with it, I use Claude for that. But what I do do: it's a sysadmin for my homelab. It has a read-only mcp server to check the k8s status and has it's own ssh access to fix stuff after I approve it per session.

It's magical. Each morning I get a small update whether the backup ran, if pods are stuck or behaving weirdly etc... Since the entire homelab is GitOps I can always reverse a change made by the agent.

I am now adding Nextcloud and moving calendar offline, from Google to my own hw. I barely touch it anymore, manually. In stead I sent a quick voice note on Telegram and 30 sec later I get a screenshot 'proving' it worked.

An amazingly successful marketing stunt for sure.

This. Well done by Antropic.

It even reached the CISO of my small semi-government org in the Netherlands, who slightly panicked at the announced 'tsunami' of vulnerabilities that was coming with Mythos.

Got us some more money and priority with the board, though.

Never waste a good marketing scare.

There is a big difference between 'needs' and 'wants'.

I'll defend the argument no one 'needs' more than 1.5 mill per year.

I agree with you greed is endless and lots of people want more and will rationalize their hoarding while others, often in their own communities, suffer.

I think they split the codebase in smaller files or modules and then tell the AI there's a bug in this particular file and to go find it.

Then they loop over a codebase like this. This way you always point a model at a 'known' bug. And I assume a smaller context window helps with quality.

Not entirely sure it's obviously proprietary.
