US is basically doing economic warfare and bullying against everyone else ATM :)
NicoJuicy··on Example.com just launched the biggest redesign in decades
Well, it's a popular website. By using Cloudflare I think they will save a lot of bandwidth and traffic because the page and assets can be cached.
NicoJuicy··on Show HN: Pi pod – Run your pi coding agent in sandboxes on your own server
Did anyone run their own sandbox with Kata containers out kind ( kubernetes in docker)?
NicoJuicy··on Cloudflare K2: serverless event streams
That's just perception. At the same time they were hiring 1 k. People and hired 2 k. People the year before ( interns).

There was just more news about it than with other companies ( I think they let go about 2 k. People a year ago).

( Not saying it's good, just a little perception balance)

Many sites deliberately whitelist Google IP's for their search crawler and ignore crawlers who just uses the Http UserAgent of GoogleBot.

They have claimed publicly that they were focusing on integrating AI in their platform and that gave Claude and Open AI a head start.

See them shifting now.

NicoJuicy··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
Yeah, all tenders for any governement in Europe seem to prioritize EU hosting too.

Things are moving quick.

Let's get rid of US dependency for governement infrastructure as quickly as possible please.
NicoJuicy··on How Delhi cut electricity loss from 50 to 5 percent
I don't think that number is correct?

In the 39 years I live here, the only power loss was due to lightning or planned power cuts because of work in the building where I live in the last 9 years ( rare - twice).

There is however incentive for our high chemistry industry to cut the power and they get re-imbursed. This is when we have too much electricity production ( solar power) vs. consumption. Otherwise the providers have to pay "fines" to lose the overproduction of electricity to neigboring countries ( who probably all have overproduction of electricity).

NicoJuicy··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
It's almost all related to LLM's, which is fairly new.

Basically he's describing an LLM assistant setup that does coding on a vps or Mac mini ( some contradiction with Openrouter though) where you can communicate with the assistant through telegram

NicoJuicy··on Gemini hacked three companies in first known breakout by Google's AI
I think Gemini focused on integration and practical goals instead of coding intelligence.

NicoJuicy··on A/I shuts down
Another reason why EU should be independant of US. Cloudflare never had this kinda of bs...

2 different rules it seems.

NicoJuicy··on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
The far right in Europe isn't comparable even to the right in the US fyi.

Belgian here.

I think Trump definitely pushes allies away much faster than ever anticipated, that's probably the only achievement from the current administration.

The alliance still stands, but it's hard to trust the US when the current president is constantly praising violent dictators and doesn't seem to grasp the concept of laws/rules + tries to blame everyone else + threatens to invade EU countries + the requirement to bribe him with funds/crypto to have "alliance".

You can know a guy by the friends he keeps :)

Fyi. I used to always use US tech, the last year I've done my best to adhere to the "European Souvereign Cloud". My current stack on US providers is down from 300 € / month to 35€ / m. And many are following suite ( it's slowly becoming a requirement for tenders for the governement + cities)

The current administration will just blame it on someone else, like they always do.
NicoJuicy··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
It's so funny how many people diverge on the same model.

Ps. For the last week I diverged to Luna too, still need to check 3.8 flash.

But 3.6 flash was my go-to model 3 weeks ago and before it was deepseek flash/pro for a while.

None of the claude models seemed cost effective though.

Oh yeah, and the model really prefers reading past sessions before it even starts...
NicoJuicy··on Headlong: A Microharness for Persistent Agents
Used an llm to re-order my stars on github into appropriate lists ( it became a mess after LLM and the different type of projects).

I had all of those projects already in my favorites except Headlong. Arround 4k+ stars.

And probably WIKI ingested 300 of them for recipes and best practices.

Haven't used the WIKI yet though...

Tbh. I think it's a chinese model ( cheap and inefficient in execution, but it's the best cheap ( free ) model atm. Daily driver for my hermes atm, but albeit slow in execution).

NicoJuicy··on Cloudflare's AI Psychosis
For an article that claims to know Cloudflare, I don't think he does.

Cloudflare build from the bottom up. First the SDN ( Software Defined Network), then the products on top. The first one was logical: CDN + DDOS.

All the rest continued to build on top of the SDN - Workers, D1, ... But once they have the full stack ( which happened arround D1), it was time to let others build on top of Cloudflare.

That's the current stage ( Cloud 2.0), that was always the goal. It's even in their ticker ( NET ).

In practise, AI could be a godsend. A total new foundation for software where the Cloudflare stack is a perfect product fit( disposable compute, where others will protect their compute with long running compute contracts). I can't blame them to try to seize the opportunity.

Tbh. I feels like the author hasn't actually adjusted to how Cloudflare is building it's cloud ( eg. how powerfull Durable Objects is).

PS. A big outage is a long time ago... ( we use them, I remember the issues those days and the post mortem, a lot became more stable as far as I noticed).

NicoJuicy··on We scaled PgBouncer to 4x throughput
Yandex actually split up because of disagreement with the Russian governement and the war.

Check out Nebius

NicoJuicy··on Cloudflare launched self-managed OAuth for all
You don't know Cloudflare?

Their first products were production grade examples of the SDN that required a lot of bandwidth (DDOS/CDN).

The cloud is a logical continuation.

Their business was always the "internet", see their ticker => NET.

Dev free is part of the marketing cost and would stay under the current leadership.

NicoJuicy··on GLM 5.2 vs. Opus
For those praising GLM 5.2, can anyone confirm?

Tried with 2 harnesses and it seems bad + slow

I have the feeling MiMo v2.5 Pro uses a lot less tokens and so a lot cheaper ( comparable pricepoint)
