forgot_old_useron Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats

External partners don't trust the AI companies I think to not steal their work and the partner's moat

forgot_old_useron Cloudflare Drop

what about them?

forgot_old_useron A native graphical shell for SSH

that seems a little harsh. I think there is a real usability gap which this takes a crack at.

Some ideas like using viewing a linux dir over _ssh_ using native UI components.. seem cool.

I do agree, some of these do seem like they have already been solved in other ways (like an sshfs mount).

forgot_old_useron An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry

it will only get cheaper in the long run

forgot_old_useron Lock-Free Rust: How to Build a Rollercoaster While It's on Fire

definitely! Reminds me of the golang saying

forgot_old_useron Advent of Code 2024 in pure SQL

haha I couldn't help but silently mouth "BUT WHHYY" before I clicked this link

forgot_old_useron Translating 10M lines of Java to Kotlin

I think its great for recruiting. This signals to the world their investment in making Devs happier (one of top two reasons mentioned was "devs were happier with Kotlin")

forgot_old_useron Learning to Reason with LLMs

well it could be a lot cheaper to hire the AI model instead of a human?

forgot_old_useron The Seamless Communication models

> You need to wait a bit before you can start faithfully translating the meaning

I guess it's possible that the AI learns about a specific person over time? That way it can be confident about what's being said as soon the person starts saying it

forgot_old_useron When can two TCP sockets share a local address?

But wouldn't the same issue apply to user-space TCP implementations too? User-space TCP implementations too could have "path-dependent sequence of accidents" which a power user might eventually need to figure out?

forgot_old_useron The Astonishing Transformation of Austin

where did you end up going? I love Austin but its a little too hot during the summer.

forgot_old_useron ChatGPT Plus

I think getting customers to sign up is the hardest part. Next they could start adding opt-in features (probably already in the works?) which cost an extra few dollars a month each?

forgot_old_useron Avoid exception throwing in performance-sensitive code

I'm a little disappointed that the author doesn't explain why throwing the exception is much slower.

forgot_old_useron Laying myself off from Amazon

But the problem is, fixing existing broken stuff might not be rewarded as much as working on the "new feature". This means that if I focus on just fixing the broken stuff, I'd be managed out. Even say I put in the extra effort to fix the broken stuff, and deliver my new features, other thousands of engineers won't do that same- meaning I can't make a meaningful dent.

(i dont work for amazon, but I can imagine it's similar everywhere)

forgot_old_useron Cassandra at Apple: 1000s of Clusters, 300k Nodes, 100 PB

hmm you expect to see 300,000GB or 300TB per node? What does that mean?

forgot_old_useron Newsom just signed California pay transparency bill

>Keep in mind that a freeze could slow down application processes for things like a loan, a job, or social service benefits

hmm.. what does that mean? I can be refused a loan if I forget to unfreeze before applying?

forgot_old_useron One million queries per second with MySQL

says this in the article at the end:

>We ran this benchmark against a single-tenant environment, with levels of resources that we reserve for our enterprise customers.

forgot_old_useron IPv6 support for cloning Git repositories from GitHub

This is sad :( hetzner charges extra for ipv4 address, and this means I couldn't run `git clone` without paying extra.

forgot_old_useron Serving Netflix Video Traffic at 800Gb/s and Beyond [pdf]

thank you!

forgot_old_useron IPv6 Only Cloud Server

>It's on the todo list however

I'm curious, how would you support this usecase?

forgot_old_useron Twitter Layoff Started Today

forgot_old_useron A routine gem update ended up creating $73k worth of subscriptions

Their website says

Wow how would they do that?

forgot_old_useron High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
