I do file summaries as well. Basically a knowledge base commit hook + agent that creates/updates a file containing a summary and list of its dependencies, followed by updating an index to include it. Super useful for creating system migration scopes and just managing context in general.

Indefinitely for these big mundane grunk jobs. In every scenario it is going to be cheaper and faster than lobbing it to Infosys.

Lol wut. One of first things people do at a company when they get enterprise LLM tools is share a skill with company-specific color palettes or standards for creating visualizations (I prefer Tufte's principles).

Hooks are incredibly underused by most people and are the easiest way to establish a first line of defense against bad behavior. Things like blocking tool calls that will read .env file or execute "create or replace table".

Totally agree. Was just trying to emphasize that there are better ways to do this if privacy and security are something that Yoti actually cares about. ZKP is not a magic bullet.

The third-party list on page 12 is not small. The real-time api architecture creates a live, per-query link between a specific user event and every broker in the chain. Batch transfers or delta shares would break that linkage. Zero-knowledge proofs (also mentioned in the study) can prove age without handing anyone a name, document, or photo.

There's no reason Aristotle or Veratad should see who the underlying requestor is. Yoti should receive the verification request, strip the context, make the request - that's it. The fact that it isn't structured that way and they are tagging on additional metadata suggests per-query economics, which creates a direct incentive to route more verifications through more parties, exactly backwards from data minimization. I'm not going to call it a rev share, but the architecture is consistent with one.

Has there been a lot of progress with ML in Rust? I don't really keep up with it because it seems like every crate ends up getting abandoned and I just gave up caring.

And volumes. Volumes are not fun with podman. Ironically my team tried GitHub Codespaces and never looked back. Super cheap and uses DevContainers.

Yeah Claude is really, really good there. You tell it the distro and the problem and it will solve it. Saved me a lot of pain when it came to swapping out an encrypted boot drive and was good about emphasizing the order of operations required for what I would consider a higher risk/complexity situation.

JetBrains has several niches it excels in. DataGrip is by far the most important tool in my toolbox, as it allows me to work with every database type imaginable in one place (Databricks, Postgres, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.).

And people wonder why there is so much push back against AI. The last thing leadership should do when laying off people is use the term AI. It's the most tone deaf thing you can do.

I use LocalSend a lot to send my clipboard or random files when I don't feel like using ssh or using NAS as intermediary.

Effort is still being put into it. Just this weekend YouTube put the 4K Coachella streams behind SABR. I could still get 1080p easily but 4K required some fanangling.

Don't forget the useless "Got it!" popups, especially when the site blurs the screen to guide you to it.

I failed to run in LM Studio on M5 with 32gb at even half max context. Literally locked up computer and had to reboot.

Ran gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF:Q4_K_M just fine with llama.cpp though. First time in a long time that I have been impressed by a local model. Both speed (~38t/s) and quality are very nice.

Like most streaming, it's what is referred to as "second monitor content". You have it on in the background.

I just hope it doesn't turn out like n8n. I built a few things, wanted to make changes, looked at the code base, opened the devcontainer, noped out after being mortified by the sheer number of warning and dependency issues, threw away all of my work, uninstalled, didn't think about it again.

Two months later it was CVE after CVE.

I had same experience with Databricks. The built-in MCP offering is very limited (querying, etc.) but there are community-built projects that offer the full scope (creating ETL jobs, etc.). I would prefer not to have to go through the hassle of getting some random project on GitHub added as an artifact and deal with the updates.

All SaaS-built MCP servers should cover the entirety their existing API functionality. I know it sounds like a lot but I really don't think it is an unreasonable expectation.

You are right about the first part but I think you're overestimating the number of people that see Apple products as status symbols. Maybe that was true a decade ago but I don't think it is anymore. Enough of the products have found their way to every country imaginable over time that an Apple laptop is... just another laptop.

A fun, brightly colored, relatively inexpensive, Windows-less laptop that you can use for doing your taxes while watching a movie has appeal. The performance isn't that important, so long as it is as responsive as the owner's phone.

Definitely isn't perfect and has limitations, but if the goal of predictable outcomes in a dynamic environment at scale it's more feasible than creating fine tuned models for every little thing and allows for context-based model performance benchmarking.

They sell unsexy infra. For example, if you are a retailer everything from the POS system to the accounting system behind it to the ERP system that sits on top of that.

Absolutely terrible products to work with both from a user and developer standpoint, but once they are up and running they are built like tanks.

The value of hyperscalers' equity in Anthropic alone dwarfs their contracts with the government. Not to mention the revenue from hosting their models that helps justify the insane capex. Anthropic going to $0 would be a huge hair cut to all of their balance sheets.

I like Jetbrains pricing model in general. Basically you get a discount that increases each year based on how long you have been a customer, to the point where it caps out at I think 50% off.

Not sure if you have experimented with it yet but COSMIC is a DE made by System76 (creators of Pop!_OS) and manages to get pretty close to what I have been seeking, which is essentially MacOS with tiling. They basically gave up on GNOME and built it in Rust from scratch. Still a few major things like HDR missing but overall it's solid.

You get the tiling without the config that comes with Hyprland, with the added option of toggling between tiled or floating. Settings are minimal but they are slowly adding more when there is enough demand. IDE-style theming is done at system-level so that applications match.

Or just buy Paramount in a couple of years.

If I didn't need to use Power BI or connect to various data sources in Excel I would have requested a MacBook at work years ago.

Revolutionizing cat memes

Most manufacturers have restrictions on where retailers can sell their product for exactly this reason. The fact that Amazon is doing this is just going to result in a lot of unnecessary billable hours.

Another reason they do not allow it is because if something is popular Amazon will make their own private label version.

Completely irresponsible behavior.

It's a double edged sword. With terminal sure, but not allowing interaction in Microsoft applications like Power BI (especially with no ability to copy and paste) renders Copilot completely useless.

I don't have that problem with Arch+COSMIC, which has the tiling you get with Hyprland but without the overly complex configuration. You can also switch to floating windows with one button if needed.
