fishmicrowaver··on Anthropic acquires Bun
This is a site for startups. They have no business running k8s, in fact, many of the lessons learned get passed on from graybeards to the younger generation along those lines. Perhaps I'm wrong! I'd love to talk shop somewhere.
fishmicrowaver··on Anthropic acquires Bun
May I ask, what is this obsession with targeting the browser? I've also noticed a hatred of k8s here, and while I truly understand it, I'd take the complication of managing infrastructure over frontend fads any day.
fishmicrowaver··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Users are far more likely to ask it about shadcn, or material, than about node/deno/bun. So, what is this about?
fishmicrowaver··on Anthropic acquires Bun
An AI company scoops up frontend tech. Do you really think it was because of s3?
fishmicrowaver··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Yeah why are you not out on a boat somewhere enjoying this moment? Go have fun please.
fishmicrowaver··on Amazon launches Trainium3
Striking a deal with a competitor (AZURE) does though.
fishmicrowaver··on Anthropic acquires Bun
My first thought went to how openai used Rust to build their CLI tool and Anthropic's CEO bought influence over Zig as a reaction.
fishmicrowaver··on Accenture dubs 800k staff 'reinventors' amid shift to AI
This marketing effort is aimed at shareholders, not customers or employees. The stock has been tanking hard and she's just replicating the strategy of staying in AI related news hoping for a bump. Hopefully it works, for the employees anyway, so they can dump their own shares.
fishmicrowaver··on Writing a good Claude.md
Have you considered just asking claude? I'd wager you'd get up and running in <10 minutes.
fishmicrowaver··on Lobsters Interview
The hottest discussion on the first page is how big of a meanie Andrew Kelley is. Yeah the sites a vibe for sure.
fishmicrowaver··on Statistical Process Control in Python
I agree, however, I've seen first hand how the AI fever and mandate from the top has finally busted enough information silos that previously 'have some DBA write a bunch of reports that answer specific business questions' just wasn't feasible in the first place, and now is.
fishmicrowaver··on Ironwood, our latest TPU
I think what I'll miss from the SO approach to research is encountering that wall of text someone bothered to post giving a deep explanation of the problem space and potential solutions. Sometimes I just needed the fast answer to some configuration problem, but it was always worth the extra 20-30 minutes to read through and really understand those high effort contributions.
fishmicrowaver··on Trillions spent and big software projects are still failing
Reminds me of the military. Senior leaders often have no real idea of what is happening on the ground because the information funneled upward doesn't fit into painting a rosy report. The middle officer ranks don't want to know the truth because it impacts their careers. How can executives even hope to lead their organizations this way?
fishmicrowaver··on Claude Advanced Tool Use
Well, what are those projects? I don't speak for anyone else, but I'm generally fatigued by the endless parade of science fair projects at this point, and operate under the assumption that if an approach is good enough, openai/anthropic/google will fold useful ideas under their tools/products.
fishmicrowaver··on Building more with GPT-5.1-Codex-Max
> trust

Hahaha...HAHAhaha. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

fishmicrowaver··on How Much OpenAI Spends on Inference and Its Revenue Share with Microsoft
That is pretty interesting. Even Ed's comment section is empty. I wonder if by toning the histrionics down he just fails to engage?
fishmicrowaver··on Adk-go: code-first Go toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying AI agents
Is there anything substantively better here vs. the many other agent frameworks, or is this just the gemini specific answer to them?
fishmicrowaver··on The Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund
That's one hell of a post. I'm reading that Rust deserved to be evaluated on its technical merits (which I'm happy with), but Zig has some community issues in closer examination?

I've looked at the major rust implements from big corp. It's all Arc, copy/clone, and people getting fired.

fishmicrowaver··on The Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund
Non-negligible from what perspective? Is this group of people somehow holding back unbridled adoption and enthusiasm for Rust? Is it possible for tech people to drum up excitement for a newer language without it being political just because you insist that it is?
fishmicrowaver··on Hard Rust requirements from May onward
Is that stuff still going on? People were rather intense about certain politics during COVID, but outside of some furries on the Rust discord I haven't noticed anything outwardly political?
fishmicrowaver··on You can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's facial recognition app, DHS document say
Guarantee Palantir is 'mitigating' those concerns before anyone has them by having a 'process' and 'guardrails' in place, so everyone can convince themselves this is a great thing to do. The decision makers won't even be around by the time a substantial enough number of people are harmed to incur blowback, and by then, people will have gotten rich/promoted.
fishmicrowaver··on Apple reports fourth quarter results
Whenever I travel I'm also coordinating with at least 2 other people. That may include my wife/extended family, or friends. I may jump on my desktop for research, but ultimately I'm sending a browser tab to my phone to share via txt with others.
fishmicrowaver··on It's the “hardware”, stupid
What's happened between the failure of Google Glass and now? People not wanting to be creep shotted in public was one of the major reasons it got pulled, as far as I recall. Have people just gotten over it or what?
fishmicrowaver··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Well if you want to code with AI you'll have to tell claude/codex constantly that you're using uv and sometimes it'll remember.
fishmicrowaver··on Cheese Crystals (2019)
I'm not easily Influenced so I'm mystified at how canned cheese had me checking out ways to order it.
fishmicrowaver··on The Great SaaS Gaslight
Yeah sure, but I was probably fine with version 4, and it is now a massive hog of an app that contains all sorts of bloatware to justify its cost that I don't need or want.
fishmicrowaver··on Claude Memory
Memory on 11th September. Never forget.
fishmicrowaver··on "Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney
I read this but where's the beef?
fishmicrowaver··on Is Sora the beginning of the end for OpenAI?
Hmm I have my doubts. I don't really understand the appeal of hyper-consumerism, brand focus, and big SM platform engagement. But I look over at my wife and she is clearly plugged in to a giant worldwide cultural movement of womens interests, product recommendations, and politics. It also appears to be the case that women are less likely to engage with AI. It's one of the big reasons I think it's a massive blunder to pursue AI erotica. I think a big part of the TikTok user base (women) will have to be persuaded to jump on the AI bandwagon and I'm not sure the industry is pursuing any products or features to woo that market.
fishmicrowaver··on Meta convinces Blue Owl to cut $30B check for its Hyperion AI super cluster
Nope, they're not betting on connecting to the grid. They're going to burn natural gas / shale oil.
