What are that pizza place google statistics?

Cloudflare offers some genuinely valuable services that protect you from exposing your infrastructure to the world wild web. And regardless why does a private institution like LaLiga have the power to censor anything they want for their own benefit?

My point is that people don't understand nor know that this is happening at all. Even when I get customers complaining that the service isn't available, they don't believe that their ISP is blocking them because of football. It's almost unbelievable for how absurd it sounds that people don't even think that could be the reason.

I have commented this in multiple occasions. What is happening here in Spain with LaLiga is just absurd. My company's domain gets blocked often because we use CloudFlare. In essence, any service using CloudFlare gets blocked often. The main problem is that the common Joe tries to navigate and finds that it doesn't work, and they blame their network, and when they come back two hours later after the game finished, the website works, so they move on. The only way for this to get resolved is if they blocked something critical and an accident happened because of that (e.g. hospital services, traffic control, or something like that). Eventually this will escalate to national courts (currently this was dictated by a regional court in Barcelona). But again, legal action is extremely slow. VPNs are becoming a must everywhere, because the Internet is becoming wild from all directions.

some things will never change :)

Same thing for me. It crashes. Submitted a report with the "Send to Apple" report, not sure if there is any way the team can retrieve these reports.

I have never leveraged git worktrees... That is such a crazy useful tool that I am almost ashamed of not having researched it before. Git is such a beautiful piece of software.

How do you work with multiple agents?

This is nice. I liked Cheetah for grunt work that I want to get out quickly and is not too hard. The speed is really awesome. A model that would run at even higher speeds like the OSS models at groq/cerebras would really be workflow changing, because the slowness of SOTA models really breaks the flow. I find myself taking a ton of breaks and getting distracted while I wait for a model to complete a task (e.g. just now).

Cursor 2.0 keeps crashing on me while having an agent running and opening the IDE part of the application. I might have to rollback.

Could anyone explain how to use multiple agents and subagents in Cursor, Claude Code, or others? It is already challenging to me taming one model doing work, let alone synchronizing multiple parallel workers.

Do you have to split the plan in parallelizable tasks that could be worked in parallel in one codebase without breaking and confusing the other agents?

I live in Spain. The main problem is that your internet becomes patchy and things stop working for a few hours during the match. People notice the incident, but they don't understand what is happening, they just move on and come back few hours later for it to be resolved. Only some people understand the depth–usually tech people like us that get paged–and complain, and then the president from LaLiga call us a "bunch of freaks".

I have personally sent letters to everyone, including the court that ruled and allowed this whole mess. The judge in question must be either extremely incompetent or corrupted. The court response to this problem wasn't acknowledging it, but to double down, because it seems like some egos were hurt.

The only way I can imagine this situation stopping is by someone dying from a core healthcare system malfunctioning and a court case becoming viral. In the meantime, a single private institution can destroy the internet whenever they want, with full legal backup. Just insane.

Basic things like: "{uploaded image of a man} can you remove the glasses?" or "make everyone in the picture smile" or "open the eyes of everyone in the photo". Nothing that a human would consider "unsafe". I am based in EU and using Google AI Studio with all safety toggles set to "Off".

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same safetyism than other many releases. Half of the prompts get rejected. How can you have character consistency if the model is forbidden from editing any human. And most of my photo editing involves humans, so basically this is just a useless product. I get that Google doesn't want to be responsible for deep fake advances, but that seems inevitable, so this is just slightly delaying progress. Eventually we will have to face it and allow for society to adapt.

This trend of tools that point a finger at you and set guardrails is quite frustrating. We might need a new OSS movement to regain our freedom.

I live in Spain and my ISP is Digi, which uses the network from Telefonica. These blocks are incredibly frustrating, and a ton of people have noticed websites and services not working. However, because the block lasts some hours, people don't know what is happening: "is my mobile network bad?", "Is the website down?". They try a few hours later and it's back up, so they move on.

My company's website is behind Cloudflare and I discovered this whole situation because someone couldn't access it. Also my home assistant is not accessible from the internet the days with a match. And we use it to open the garage and the house. We learned the lesson the hard way being locked outside until I managed to connect with a VPN. This is just nuts and incredibly frustrating. And for La Liga we are just a bunch of "frikis" (nerds) complaining about it... because we are the only ones that understand what the problem is.

Unfortunately, someone would have to die and a lawsuit to follow, and maybe that could stop this crazy nonsense. E.g. A few days ago I read about someone with diabetes whose device was malfunctioning because of these blocks.

One interesting point of this feature is that it acknowledges that natural language is not a sufficiently good interface, we still need custom UI for particular use cases. As long as humans are in the driver seat, multiple UIs for the same problem will be created and used by many, enabling the SaaS ecosystem to thrive with this new LLM tooling backend.

I have the same feeling. I asked to find duplicates in a list of 6k items and it basically hallucinated the entire answer multiple times. Some times it finds some, but it interlaces the duplicates with other hallucinated items. I wasn't expecting it to get it right, cause I think this task is challenging with a fixed amount of attention heads. However, the answer seems much worse than Claude Opus or GPT-4.

Sometime ago I had an idea for a similar interface without the dragging feature. Basically, just a tree visualisation. I usually discuss a tangent topic in the same conversation, but I don't want to confuse the AI afterwards, so I edit a previous message when the tangent started. However, OpenAI would discard that tangent tree, instead it would be nice to have a tree of the tangent topics explored, without necessarily having to sort them manually, just visualising the tree.

If a human had this failure, it would probably be something like a psychotic episode. If a super intelligence had a psychotic episode because of a bug, it could be pretty destructive.

I feel the same way. I follow the LLM/AI advancements very closely, and I find that motivating. However, the whole discussion seems to turn around long term replacement of all labor and absorption of business value into some big tech providing the AI infrastructure.

I usually had two types of motivation, technical motivation to learn skills that would eventually be useful in my career and hacker motivation to build something with the implicit expectation of eventually making it a sustainable business. But now I am not certain there is a point in learning a new skill or building a side hustle if eventually an LLM will be better than me or my business for pennies.

Maybe this whole feeling is part of the AI replacement hype, and totally false. And maybe it is just common to feel this way when technological revolutions happen, and it's just temporary and we should push through. Regardless, we probably should keep monitoring the space.

Maybe it's time to genuinely focus on doing anything that intrinsically makes you feel good without any external expectations. An LLM might be better than you at everything, but you would still enjoy your mediocre implementation, just because you did it. Maybe this is what it really means to be an artisan.

Indeed, I just stopped reading half way through, because it's extremely low quality journalism. A conflict of interest doesn't mean full blown corruption, they might still have done the right thing with a conflict of interest. That's the job of the journalist, to properly dig in and find evidence for their case. Instead they just introduced more noise to an already noisy topic full of controversy.

That is exactly what a bot would say... you have to prove you are human by starting a company and making $1M

Anyone considered deploying with docker compose? Simple, well known and pretty flexible. I wrote some helpers to manage monitoring, logs, and deployments: lostdock.com

Edge computing is definitely the last way hosting providers have found to vendor lock you in. Many companies like 37Signals realize that all the fancy cloud provider services have a huge cost because they literally hold you hostage to the mercy of their pricing teams. In a time of high interest rates, I deeply value our commitment to open source container solutions. The only thing we can't do at the moment is to spin an edge network; that's their mote, and why keep doubling down on edge. They double down regardless of knowing most apps top performance offenders don't include the latency to the end user. The bookstore they mention in the article would be much better off deploying all containers in a single cheap commoditized VPS with docker compose, that'd reduce latency between services, and then they can concentrate on optimizing their app and their DB queries. Don't waste time in saving a few milliseconds between your server and the end user, opening a massive can of worms that includes distributed databases, complex infrastructure, vendor lock in, and many other issues they'd happily charge you for.

I wrote a simple library to deploy with docker compose that includes logging, metrics, and a few other utils. https://lostdock.com

I can sense some stress in your writing. "Intelligence", as you refer it, could be heavily linked to emotions. Just the feeling that you are falling behind could be enough to trigger a poor performance. Try to keep your mind cool, and release some of the pressure you are feeling (my de-stresser is weight lifting). You seem to still conserve a good base "intelligence", so that is a pretty good foundation, just keep going and let it compound over time. There are plenty of opportunities for people that have a passion, even without a formal education at all or with lifelong conditions. Learn to live with your constraints, and make the best of them. In 10 years, you'll look back surprised about how far you've come, even if it does happen that you have a lifelong problem (which might well be fully resolved in a few months).

Anyone knows why this isn't possible?

I'm waiting too. Given MS association with OpenAI, maybe there are some legal or financial negative incentives to release this open source.

Why is everyone so cynical about this? I use GPT-4 all the time and it blows my mind often. OpenAI has demonstrated the capabilities to develop advanced AI, why would it be so hard to forecast that these models would keep improving and potentially be risky?

> ...or we could collectively agree (with the backing power of a new organization like the one suggested below) that the rate of growth in AI capability at the frontier is limited to a certain rate per year.

Why would they want to limit the growth rate of their cutting edge to a fixed rate if this effort wasn't genuine? This would just give all the other providers time to catch up, which is an undesirable business decision.

There is still quite a bit of controversy around the inclusive non-gendered form, because it is non-standard and not approved by the Real Academia Española (rae.es). In Spain, where I come from, the most common non-gendered form is to use the suffix -e, instead of -a or -o. However, in practice, this is mostly use by the LGBTQ+ community and not the general public. It will take a while (if ever) to spread around society.

IMO, genders on objects without a sex are just non sensical and a legacy product of Roman Latin evolution. A simple -e suffix could potentially fix this, but it's incredibly hard to change without a generational change, cause language and habits are sticky. However if you are triggered by a table being female gendered or a car being male gendered, maybe you are overthinking it.

When it comes to human related words, another potential approach is to always use the female form, because you refer to the word person (la persona) and not the particular gender of the individual in question. This applies to groups too, the rule in Spanish is that if a group has females and males, you should use the "male" plural form. Why not just use the female form and everyone is happy?

Just remark that this is a hot topic and conservative and older people usually oppose this aggressively and openly. New generations understand the arbitrary split of society in two based on the presence of a penis more intrinsically though.
