sam altman: aww you're sweet

elon musk: hello human resources

I've used a lot of local models and all of them felt like toys. This one actually felt useful. I hear Qwen 36-A3B is also good, yet to try that one.

was famous for being the $35 computer and it is now $350

i like groq but models seem to have stagnated - looks like the company isn't focused on b2c anymore?

"ok flipper hack everything, make no mistakes"

it was worse

son of gaben may live upto the legend, otherwise it ends with him

Agents are shipping code faster all over the world and in some cases 24 hours a day. Additionally, some significant number of non-developers are now developers i.e. they are also shipping to github regularly.

This is not limited to just pushing code but all the bells and whistles that github added as features under the assumption of some predictable growth are now exceeding the original plans.

I suspect a lot of their existing systems have to be re-architected for unanticipated scale, and it won't happen overnight for sure.

i empathize with the folks running a largely free service who are being spammed by bots and built everything around some other assumptions

Needs to be deterministic. ACLs

looks like one of those things the ad agency (AMV BBDO) claims to have invented just in time for awards season

The root of the problems seems to be trying to find a holy grail design that works across all their businesses. Surface tablet mode, touchscreen laptop, touchscreen desktop (surface studio), mouse and keyboard PC, stylus input, etc.

Then there's a lot of legacy stuff that needs to continue working because otherwise you end up with a non backwards compatible windows.

Then you have to get everyone at microsoft across all their bajillion products to change the UI from Task manager to the 5th level of settings for some obscure ODBC connector.

It's not going to happen I suspect

never had a problem with github, i must be using it during the 90% of the time that it works

doesn't it use up a lot of disk space compared to other distros because of the way everything is set up?

It ends up being a LARP

In reality the starting point itself is something absurd like "all vendors must be ISO certified no exceptions"

Nobody wants to be the person who says an exception is ok in this case, so you get lumped with having to certify.

Now your color palette generator startup is doing ISO certification. You are holding quarterly "information security governance meetings" and maintaining a risk register for... "blue vs slightly different blue".

Many such cases.

Data protection is a tiny component of what certifications like ISO and SOC2 involve. The data protection stuff is welcome and often pre-existing, the other stuff is what annoys people.

This assumes that there is only 1 way to protect consumers

The D in Democratic People's Republic of Korea means it should be democratic so why is it a dictatorship?

The world doesn't work based on abbreviations. It's very normal for any company to ask you for ISO 27001 whether international or otherwise.

easily the best one

A lot of startups move fast with a small team.

You build something great and big corporation X wants to buy a subscription but you need to be certified.

Much of this is a good checklist but some of it is very european.

"Where is the risk register to track controls in your 7 person company?"

Now instead of doing what your team does best, you are doing paperwork theater for frameworks designed for a 100,000 employee enterprise.

You are documenting things nobody will read, making up processes that don't exist and translating the operations of a lean company into bureaucratic language.

What's needed is a variant of these standards for small teams, which is proportionate and pragmatic.

Accuracy is often presumed to be english, which is fine, but it's a vague thing to say "higher" because does it mean higher in English only? Higher in some subset of languages? Which ones?

The minimum useful data for this stuff is a small table of language | WER for dataset

this agent seems indistinguishable from the stereotypical political activist i see on the internet

they both ran the same program of "you disagree with me therefore you are immoral and your reputation must be destroyed"

im sure this will make their political art more popular with the working class

Reminds me of the time I went to Ceti Alpha 6

Regular listeners know he knew exactly what he was doing i.e. the cancellation was priced in.

seems like brave works well and isn't getting correctly fingerprinted

doesn't cloudflare already offer this if you proxy?

from what i understand the apk route still works fine, you just have to be willing to attach your identity to it via their verification + signing process

liveview feels a bit too magical

client disconnects, state desyncs, then reconnects, then liveview figures out via crdt and other things how to accurately diff the state

feels like i have to trust it too much - i'd have a lot more confidence if people were vocal about how they are running it at scale, battle-tested etc. etc.

shopify is straight up yolo running rails edge, which is a crazy endorsement

from what i understand:

- if you compile from source and deploy via adb nothing changes

- if you use a closed source binary, the identity of the owner becomes mandatory

so the issue is anonymously published closed source software?
