atenni··on Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg
> I agree it would have been nicer if the message was more polite. But if you compare that to having the backbone follow through with meaningful long-term changes against a corporation you don't trust or respect, there shouldn't even be a discussion.

You’re framing it as either/or when it isn’t. You can push for real change and communicate like an adult. The two aren’t in conflict; often they reinforce each other.

atenni··on Building My Resume in HTML Using Eleventy
If I’m hiring a web developer and you give me a `resume.html` you’d best believe I’m viewing source on that.

This is a high-risk high-reward game, because if it’s clean you’ll get bonus points, but if there’s unnecessary cruft (as defined by me) you’ll loose points.

For example, while this is pretty clean code, I’m currently on my phone and getting horizontal scroll bars. For a text based site like this resume that shouldn’t happen, and perhaps unfairly, that’s going to weigh heavily against the other good work OP has done.

atenni··on Apple Closes in on Deal with OpenAI to Put ChatGPT on iPhone
A lot of people here are assuming this will involve API calls to OpenAI’s servers.

If a deal is made it will almost certainly be to self host OpenAI’s models, the same way Microsoft does. Apple will use RAG to ground requests in the user’s own iCloud data, and no user data will be sent to OpenAI or be used to train any OpenAI models.

I think OpenAI would be happy to cut a deal. Microsoft already self-host their GPT4 models for MS Copilot.
atenni··on Autonomous Overhead Powerline Recharging for Uninterrupted Drone Operations [video]
Looks like the tests were run on a private line belonging to an airport. From the associated PDF[0]:

atenni··on Amazon CloudFront KeyValueStore – Low-Latency Datastore for CloudFront Functions
It’s at the very end of the blog post:

“The maximum size of a key value store is 5 MB, and you can associate a single key value store to each function. The maximum size of a key is 512 bytes. Values can be up to 1KB in size.“
