cdchn··on The Story of Rogue
Wow I thought it was going to be later next year. Been anxiously awaiting this before starting another play through.

The writing for this game is just something special.

Sure it happens, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't think about reducing it.
cdchn··on The Curse of Markdown
But then you just end up writing HTML anyways.
cdchn··on New era of slop security reports for open source
Yeah, Notoriety/Clout/Social Status.

Somebody else is building your binaries. You've added another link in your software supply chain. How do you know they haven't inserted malware?
cdchn··on Egoless Engineering
How does giving them deploy access prevent them from breaking the build, too?
cdchn··on A new home for Python-build-standalone
Supply chain risk.

That was my thought as well. "Hopefully someone decides to take on the stewardship of PyOxidizer, too." That might not dovetail well enough with someone's business plans though.
cdchn··on Facebook's Little Red Book
A narrative is what a person wants you to perceive, not how you end up perceiving it.
cdchn··on Unlocking the power of time-series data with multimodal models
Monkeys aren't (yet) interested in spending a lot of money on Brioni suits.
cdchn··on The Curse of Markdown
All the hoops you have to jump through with Markdown seem more awkward to me than a few extra characters.

Whats the end game here? Bug bounties? Notoriety? Bogus OKRs?
cdchn··on Amazon Nova
This is Amazon's core e-commerce business model but for AI. You sell everybody else's stuff and also offer an Amazon Basics version.

At that point, why aren't you just writing HTML?
cdchn··on The Rock VX Gas Canister Build (2022)
I don't think this glamorizes horrible weapons. We as humans get a certain thrill from scary things. "Dracula" didn't normalize being a vampire.

Looks like the Banana Boat Aloe Gel has significantly dried up in the original prop.
cdchn··on Unlocking the power of time-series data with multimodal models
This conjures up an image in my mind of a million monkeys with headphones on, smashing at Blooomberg terminals.
cdchn··on Unlocking the power of time-series data with multimodal models
The fact that you can show an LLM an image of a plot and it'll give you a good-enough-ish classification I think is the interesting part. It really is just prompt engineering all the way down...
cdchn··on Facebook's Little Red Book
Narrative is the correct word for what this is. This is what Facebook leadership wanted to persuade the Facebook rank-and-file that _this_ is what they're about. This is purposeful internal propaganda.
cdchn··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2024)
One of your job listings appears to have a mistype in it or maybe your name just peppered around https://vivint.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/vivintjobs/job/Lehi-UT/... "Configuration management (SaltStack, Ansible, etc.)matt"
cdchn··on Launch HN: Keep (YC W23) – AIOps and alert management
Small typo on your "Mapping" page "Enirch alerts with more data from Topology, CSV, JSON and YAMLs"
cdchn··on How oxide cuts data center power consumption in half
How much did Shopify buy? Sounds like from what the CEO is saying they bought 1 unit.

>We learned that Oxide has so far shipped “under 20 racks,” which illustrates the selective markets its powerful systems are aimed at.

>B&F understands most of those systems were deployed as single units at customer sites. Therefore, Oxide hopes these and new customers will scale up their operations in response to positive outcomes.

Yikes. If they sold 20 racks in July, how many are they up to now?

I'm curious what their burn rate is.
cdchn··on The meme-ification of the "Demon Core"
I was going to comment that I'm disappointed there is no mention of Demon core-kun.

Which have and with what?
cdchn··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
I didn't say it was impossible or even intractable. Its simply not as easy as everyone "why don't they justs."

They refunded him the money, without a lot of hassle. He toddled into a rough edge, bumped his head, Amazon made it better and apparently gave him a lollipop as well and sent him on his way. I think Amazon should get some credit here.

There is, its called the Cost Explorer.
cdchn··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
Now multiply the logic required by multiple cost factors across hundreds of services.

Then you go beyond that. Now what?
