Marketing aside, why are you using the term "UK sovereign"?

I assume UK based DCs, so why not just say that, UK based LLM inference.

Is it a DC owned/ran by HM Gov? Is that why it's sovereign?

Not a criticism, more of a critique.

While I'm British, based in the UK, seeing prices in £ really throws me

Token prices should be in $ as that's how our brains work

If they hosted locally, it shouldn't have been an issue, they could have had a mirror system, but that's by the by, I love the website

This brings back ADOM memories from ages past. Thank you for that.

Actually don't hate the concept

How long did the scraping take you to build?

What if claude triggers claude? Is claude automated or non-human?

So if claude decides to trigger claude -p then claude violates the ToS on your behalf and you get your account nuked?

I feel exactly this way

Why are we trying to replace git? What is the problem with git?

I watched "One Battle After Another" and it shows how deranged people are. I don't think its a new thing, I just think in any stable society, people who don't thrive eventually find a way to destroy the society in the hope whatever comes next will serve them better. In a society where hard work and intelligent gives you an advantage, it stands to reason that lazy, stupid people will need to play differently in order to win.

I can't wait to read wikipedia in 30 years.

The reality is that no program so far has really been successful within the NHS. Money is burnt at an alarming rate and the companies taking on these contracts are incompetent at best.

If staff don't want to work with it then they're not fulfilling their roles.

What if any of us took a job and then refused to work with Microsoft or [Insert company] due to personal reasons? We'd be jobless.

Reductive take

There's no federal government in the UK, nor constitution

I suppose the issue is that the NHS themselves have historically been terrible at managing their software. Nobody I know who I rate as even mediocre and above would or have worked at the NHS, and those I do know who have have, I wouldn't hire into junior roles.

I have no doubt that it's an extremely complicated mixture of 100s of systems, but anyone who has lived here knows how terrible it is. GP surgery's have for years had to send paper files across to new practices when a patient moves. The new NHS app is great, but I can see from my history that > 90% is missing.

Another great example of how good the NHS is at this, is the fact that nurses & doctors would have to scroll down a combo list without any typeahead to pick a medication, which would be in an A-Z list of every medication ever.

So, closing the circle, is there a reason to bring in a company that hires people at and above our level of competence, who have the expertise to implement a system to bring the NHS out of the dark ages of IT? Yes. There are many.

There will always be concerns about data, about security, but I'd much rather data be in the hands of a corporation that doesn't leak it than an unknown company getting billions in contracts, building software worse than someone with a $20 Claude extension, and then leaking it to hackers.

Just my 2p

I love search term bingo

Been following along with Lago from the early days. Great to see how much progress you guys have made!

Applied model collapse

Perhaps you're not aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_7_attacks

My point is that this is not the forum for it, salawat. There are plenty of places where you can feel better by getting angry at people who support a different political sports team, but this isn't it.

Perhaps you would do well to move your binary thought system to a ternary thought system, and realise that people can decide not to support either side of a political or ideological divide.

If you belong to the "if you're not with me, you're against me" then my friend, I'm afraid, you are the problem. You are part of the problem with the world going backwards. You are part of the reason why we don't have peace.

Of course they do, which is why Israel's retaliation was their prerogative too.

That being said, Hacker News isn't the place for politics so please can everyone go back to reddit if you're feeling emotional. Looking at you, juliusceasar.

I've written code for almost 30 years, and the last 4 years I've slowly used AI more and more, starting with GitHub Copilot beta, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Gemini, Jules, Codex. Now I mostly work with Claude, and I don't write any code myself. Even configuring servers is easier with Claude. I still understand how everything works, but I now change how I work so I can do a lot more, cover a lot more, and rely less on people.

It isn't much different to how it works with a team. You have an architecture who understands the broader landscape, you have developers who implement certain subsystems, you have a testing strategy, you have communication, teaching, management. The only difference now is that I can do all this with my team being LLMs/agents, while I focus on the leadership stuff: docs, designs, tests, direction, vision.

I do miss coding, but it just isn't worth it anymore.

I'll change my default branches to main when Masterclass change their name to Mainclass

RIP

If we're able to produce an LLM which takes a seed and produces the same output per input, then we'd be able to do this

And it's broken

the people most likely to analyse books like this are those of us who are more likely to read them as well

we call them luddites

commenter above probably didn't read the post, ironically

For what it's worth, Cowork does run inside a sandbox

that looks pretty good
