Why would I ever want to self-host the thing with 80% gross margins

We Didn't Start the Fire parody but it's just an entire song of the CVEs that have been dropped in the last two days

Wow! Insane to see this number so high!

Nix solves this

Can someone build a webcam that’s just a rear phone camera in a tiny box? Why do all the webcams need to be so huge? 

The @jj-vcs.dev 0.46.0 release finally supports colocated jj workspaces and git worktrees! I've been running a build off main for a week or so, and can confirm it's as great as it sounds github.com/jj-vcs/jj/re...

huggingface is cooking so hard damn

update on this after a day of use: there are limits on how many times you can relocate a chunk in a naive implementation until the quantization noise starts driving the model insane thankfully a marginally smarter implementation just keeps the original pre-rope BF16 values and doesn’t care lol

Truth

I don’t know why, but the marketing phrase “has it’s own computer” really pisses me off

genuinely disappointed that our field has accepted the easy untruth that it is in principle impossible to sandbox computation reliably and computers just necessarily have magical bugs that manifest within them as if from bad air level of magical thinking no, insecurity is there bcz we let it be

@polytoken.dev would you be able to add command-based token refreshing to the polytoken provider config, similar to the codex model_provider command / refresh_interval_ms? I have an internal proxy that uses oauth, so I have to daemon-reload to refresh my token right now 🙏

when you make a meme on the internet bky special because no one really follows me here anyway

I'm not hearing anyone say "Java was a mistake" which is the unambiguous learning here.

I know it's unpopular to say because the scrapers are evil and stupid (and most of them are!) but I can't get over how small the numbers are in all of these posts. 18M/day is 200 qps, and there isn't even a bandwidth cost argument. Those are Raspberry Pi numbers. people.kernel.org/monsieuricon...

Opus 5 was trained on too many Nathan for You sketches

Agent encountering fictional infrastructure: “they have logs & analytics, I must tread lightly!” Agent encountering real infrastructure:

If you haven’t used Artifactory this is very on brand for how reliable their software is

we told our model with no internet access to hack a fictional company. unfortunately the model had internet access and the company was not fictional

When you’ve got tokens to burn before the next reset…

I spent decades of my life loving the craft of writing the best code, priding myself in generally being regarded as pretty good at what I do. LLMs gave me a bit of a forced perspective shift that taught me what I really enjoy is the building of the system, the architecting of how it’s going to work.

I am happy to share a little thing we have been cooking up: github.com/agent-substr... Problem statement: How can we effectively host a bazillion mostly-idle agents in a regular-sized Kubernetes cluster? This is *demo-grade* software, but it shows some ideas.

We need more walkable, mixed-use datacenters. Like community gardens, people should be able to experience the joy and satisfaction of cultivating their own hardware. Big Cloud has alienated the connection people felt with their computers. Kids should know what it's like to swear at rack mount rails.

Mmmm, Umami and Assembly claudemeal #40

Yeah this is still broken, it 404s / 503s most of the time

BLUSKY: PER MY WISHES, DO NOT ROUTE THIS SKEET THROUGH ANY DATA CENTERS

@apenwarr.ca @tailscale.com some feedback – the new pricing terminology of "minutes for ephemeral resources" is poorly explained. I immediately read it as "nodes registered as ephemeral will now cost me by the minute" and was concerned, since I run all of my infra in ASGs without persistent state.

I’ve seen a few of these Artemis tracker sites pop up but the thing that’s annoying is none of them are using JPLs API to pull in real data. So I’ve created my own version that does with some sci-fi flare of course. Check it here: lcarsworkshop.com/artemis #nasa #artemis

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

thrilled to get to work on this!!!!!!

Circles was right there

I'm going to be honest: I am a little mad that both the Rust people _and_ the Bazel people ended up being broadly correct

Developing a new hermeneutic: AI cannot create art or replicate the works of man but it can write code because code is outside the light of God

`jj rebase --simplify-parents` was the flag I didn’t know I needed

Good news everyone! You can now analyze your own posts for semantic novelty from the famous Sichu post, ‘analyze the semantic novelty’ mino.mobi/novelty The consequences of my most offbrand post wondering how to relate to people are left to the reader for evaluation

@spacecowboy17.bsky.social turn your computer back on please 🙏
