Why would you use them on the web? Serious use happens elsewhere.

Some people might choose Chinese over US these days. Likely looking for EU location.

Which is another issue. In the context of pirating, it should be also an issue, because it is a benefit from the crime.

Bard is still the best

The most time consuming part of recovering from an attack is validating everything. It takes more than a few hours to validate the infra that stays put isn’t compromised, the IaC code itself isn’t compromised, deploy the infra, bring a copy of the offline backup of your data (your IaC can’t drive to another site and bring the backups, then make a copy, unless tou are really sure you removed any trace of compromise), validate that the backup is sound, then restore it.

In some cases the infrastructure part is the least time consuming. Some platforms are straight forward enough that even manual deployment is fast. But after a hack you can’t trust anything so you need to do the slow validation that takes longer than your projected “hours”.

Your IaC is supposed to be on those offline backups too, and should be able to do everything from clean hardware.

The most time consuming part is to identify what caused the compromise. After that, you can put everything back online and then at the same time start to analyse who did it/what they did and so on. If the root cause for the breach is identified, you also know the time most likely and can trust the offline IaC backup.

Chinese gov is not even needed. Deepseek was already profitable before this whole thing started. They even had the GPUs.

One more reason to to define the whole infrastructure in code and have offline backups. Recovering could be measured in hours.

Valve has truly headless runner (gamescope) for Linux, e.g. you can start it manually from command-line over ssh

  gamescope \
    --backend headless \
    -W 1920 -H 1080 \
    -w 3840 -h 2160 \
    -r 60 \
    --cursor-scale-height 1080 \
    --force-grab-cursor \
    -- steam -gamepadui -pipewire-dmabuf

But it has many issues compared to Games on Whales, for example, which is much more efficient and scales cursor better.

Less agents these days

I have server running in basement all the time. I start Games on Whales over ssh and then launch Moonlight on macOS client. You can do it completely remotely. Only pre-condition is that computer must be turned on. I tried Sunshine as well but it was too much pain and not so effortless.

And then there's this, Moonshine, in a way doing what Apollo brings to the table but for Linux servers.

What was the motivation? Games on Whales seems to work perfectly in my experience.

While the hardware is no longer being sold the software sort of lives on. In an android app among other things.

It is built-in on every Steam. You can basically press two buttons and stream from your desktop to laptop if both have Steam with same accounts logged in.

Tangentially it almost feels like steam could make a stadia like thing work. They have most of the moving parts including crucially, the bit google didn't, an established base of customers. Tomorrow steam could introduce a "play your games anywhere on any hardware" feature and no one would be surprised.

Already possible. While not so optimized as Games-on-whales.

but in terms of stability it's terrible and segfaults 20x as much as node (I base that number on newrelic telemetry)

In Chrome or Firefox, a segfault is usually automatic CVE and in most cases a bounty of thousands of dollars…

TS7 is going to cause problems for downstream users because Go is the wrong language to use for something that has to run in WASM.

Is there a huge need to run that typechecking on browsers?

Claude Code has shipped Bun 1.4. already more than month ago: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases?q=bun&exp...

Version was changed in Bun in May 18

https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/commit/b18bf6d1d0a92238f240bf...

So it has been canary since then, most likely, if docs are accurate that latest main is canary.

It matters a lot. As seen with GitLab and countless other projects.

A lot is allowed: https://cipherstash.com/docs/stack/cipherstash/encryption/se...

It sounds like someone has discovered a side-channel, made a project around it, and forget/did not know what side-channel originally means. And then someone at Supabase who does not know crypto, is a victim of their marketing.

OpenAI obviously is doing it to gain mindshare but they're burning money before their IPO and can't sustain these resets.

We don’t know that. If they have already paid for the hardware and it is not running 100%, and customers would not pay to get reset, they don’t really lose money.

Not sure why they act like that.

They seem to launch paid competitor.

Tangled is also VC funded, something to consider.

Luckily the job situation for pure mathematicians was already bad.

How it is getting priority if they deprecated Rosetta? Or am I understanding it wrongly?

Uber managed to make the business by lobbying so hard. In some countries they broke the regulation of tax drivers and made the environment like wild jungle. Now, people don't feel "safe" anymore for random Taxis and prefer Uber in many places.

I guess China did not deserve mention. They are the only one releasing open models consitently and not cutting any access. Only US actions show evidence and for the US only.

If they are able to prove it somehow transparently that movie was watched at least once, reduce the amount of renting it based on the time when it was bought. Is that fair? Return the rest with inflation adjustments.

Is there some public research that how often, for example, people download malware that allows this?

You can limit it a lot to minimize the abuse. In free entrypoint, set token and context limits to be very small. Limit to 2 prompts per IP or something every X hour. That is already a substantial limit where bypassing might not provide much benefits.

Bard was a great name.

Now you can survive by working as a clerk in McDs, but in the stone age you needed to be on your toes and smart af.

In stone age, you had to focus on other things than thinking to have enough food for the next day. And to survive otherwise.
