The hard part for me is choosing the model and effort, that's why I always resort to Astra xhigh, but then it ends up consuming tokens so fast.

How do you decide what to pick? I mean, I do Platform work on a large monorepo with many different interconnected services, and so I always want the implementation to be "correct".

A very relevant book that goes beyond the workplace (but also includes it): Alienation and Acceleration: Towards a Critical Theory of Late-Modern Temporality by Hartmut Rosa

I never had this dread after switching to Debian.

"him"? Have we reached that dystopia level?

A database with built-in HA is a significantly more complex system than one without it.

Anyone remembers Teleport Pro?

Really.. I was scrolling to find a comment complaining for this slop GH issue, which should be 10% of the size of what it is.

Surprised me it took so much scrolling to get to this.

Like, who reads all that crap?

I just stumbled onto this, which probably explains it: https://openrouter.ai/announcements/gpt55-cost-analysis

I guess parent argues that:

  - humans have a track-record of writing memory bugs

  - memory-safe languages prevent such by construction

Therefore, what's the justification of not using a memory-safe language (as opposed to an unsafe one)?

How about they are pointing out a worrisome direction society might be taking, whereas work will infiltrate even more what used to be family or personal time, thus accelerating burnout?

Beasts of no Nation is a personal favorite!

Then it seems you're not disagreeing with parent: they're saying "needle barely moved", you're saying "it will move".

They're talking about the present; you're talking about the future.

Is that a good deal for the employees of Astro? They're now Cloudflare employees, which I guess looks good on your CV.

But do such acquihires usually result in higher salaries for regular (non-leadership) employees or? Also, what about NSOs?

> Now Astro is downloaded almost 1,000,000 times per week [...]

Are these numbers supposed to provide any sense of the popularity if you're not often looking at npm trends?

Hey OP, curious how much experience you have with Rust, given that this is the only rust repo I see in your profile.

I'd be interested to know how the first one makes money. Is it through Memberships (https://building.shepherd.com/author-membership/)?

It would be useful to explain why ZJIT exists given that there's already YJIT.

Also, what's the long-term plan for YJIT.

I was in a similar situation to OP: my Carbon X1 Gen 8 keys, notably `/` and some arrows keys, stopped functioning. Sometimes they did, but it was very erratic.

Luckily, when I replaced the battery (got a lot from iFixit) and tightened all other screws, the keys magically started working again.

Saved me quite a few dollars.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_supply_chain:

> A software bill of materials (SBOM) declares the inventory of components used to build a software artifact, including any open source and proprietary software components. It is the software analogue to the traditional manufacturing BOM, which is used as part of supply chain management.

Any idea if this is planned for Codex as well?

> there’s one depressing anecdote that I keep on seeing: the junior engineer, empowered by some class of LLM tool, who deposits giant, untested PRs on their coworkers—or open source maintainers—and expects the “code review” process to handle the rest.

It's even worse than that: non-junior devs are doing it as well.

Kagi News does something similar, for what it's worth.

Reading this comment, it just occurred to me that we're still in the first phase of the enshittification process.

The problem of not being able to conduct transactions (globally or not) due to state-level censorship. Also called "censorship resistance".

There are also other factors that are not easily quantifiable, even though they might be more important: deep connections with other humans, supportive local communities, finding meaning in something outside of yourself, feeling connected to your vocation etc.

Byung-Chul Han would have a lot to say on this matter.

I would argue that by those measures, we are worse than let's say 50y ago.

In either case, it is still big news.

Is it me or this post has LLM vibes?

Looks really cool.

That said, I'm trying to wrap my head around how projects like do work via wasm, given that wasm has so few types (numbers, arrays) and no I/O or system interface. I'm definitely missing something.

Where would you suggest someone starts for building something like this.

What kind of hardware would you suggest (preferably something with Rust!bindings). Is the one used in the original post a good starting point?

I've minimal to no experience with embedded.
