I like the look of this - and it's a problem that we're thinking about right now at work.
But, the pricing of this is .. really high .. - starting at $5k / month? I'd find that difficult to justify.

Turns out, it was a Sega SC-3000H, back before Sega decided it was a console company. Also, interestingly, it was really only popular in NZ/Aus (I grew up in NZ).
I have very clear memories of spending hours copying BASIC code of games, line-by-line from the monthly Sega magazine into the BASIC editor, playing it for 15 minutes, then everything dissapearing when I restarted it.
I was always envious of my friend who had a C64, but that Sega was a great little machine.
I ask because I have my own language I maintain, and we're currently prompt-stuffing to get LLM's to author it - but I wonder what type of training set you'd need, and what base image one would use to fine-tune a model, and how effective it'd be?
Worked fine in Firefox.
> We'll consider merging in changes that make sense from Endive, but under the stewardship of the [Byte Code Alliance] I have very little faith in its future. My words mean nothing though having all but completely lost interest and use for WebAssembly.
What's the background / history of Byte Code Alliance?
So, if I've read this post correctly, that means that CC is navigating my codebase today by sending lots of it up to a model, and building an understanding. Is that correct? Did I misunderstand it?
I kinda suspected there was more local inference going on somehow -- partly because the iteration times are fairly fast.
Oof. That smacks of hubris and valley-buzzwordism.

So, a manager who's managing 15 people AND expected to ship -- that sounds awful for both sides.
I got:

Which I found let me wondering - "What is this thing?" I refreshed a few times to the variations, and while some were better, I feel like your hero could do with being less pithy, and more plain explanation of what it is.
It's not perfect. It's late sometimes, pollution sucks, and often crowded - but people here who like to criticise it really don't recognise how much better they have it than lots of other places.
Same with travel from here to Europe (by train), is just awesome.
I wonder if we're at the point where the cost of building and maintaining this yourselves (assisted with an AI Copilot) is now more effective than an off-the-shelf?
It feels like there's a LOT of moving parts here, but also it's deeply tailored to their own setup.
FWIW - I tried pointing Claude at the post and asking it to design an implementation, (like the post said to do) and it struggled - but perhaps I prompted it wrong.
Surprised they need both.
Fairly limited specs available so far, but more are coming, including a developer edition - which ships with Ubuntu 24.10.
Current configs are limited to 32GB of RAM, which is a little low, but hopefully that will increase with future iterations.

That response sounds like it was written by ChatGPT, which is a fantastic piece of tone-deaf irony from the creators.
It's an MIT license. That IS open source.
If they have a commercial strategy - that's a GoodThing. It means they have a viable strategy for staying in business, and keeping the project maintained.
MIT == OpenSource. Pricing == Sustainable. That's a horse worth backing IMO.
Content under backend/ee requires a license, everything else is MIT Expat. Pretty standard stuff.
> Can you call it open source if you need a subscription license to run / edit the code?
MIT is open source, their other stuff isn't. Pretty clear.
I've finished up there now, so this is purely retrospective.
For them - the workaround (sadly) was -- a lack of testing.
I was really surprised that in a heavily regulated environment (this project faced off to a regulator) Integration testing (which has gotten really easy on the JVM thanks to stuff like TestContainers) just didn't exist.
That could be symptom of a broader lack of a test-driven culture though.
The onshore team were able to use Docker, but not offshore.
My personal biases are pretty strongly in favour of the BBC, but what they did here was really bad. It's appropriate that heads roll. I wish more orgs would have the same level of accountability.
However, the "Privacy First" and "No Ads" claim gets eroded pretty quickly by cookies, and requests to trackers like n.clarity.ms, google-analytics and adtrafficquality.google.
Note - I don't actually have an issue with any of those things - if you wanna monetize this service through analytics and ads, that's up to you. But it's at odds with your privacy first claims.
They definitely could've communicated this better.
OSS, MDX, beatuiful-by-default.
We're on Gitlab for historic reasons. Where Github now has numerous opporuntities to use AI as part of your workflow, there's nothing in Gitlab (from what I can tell), unless you're paying big bucks.
I like using AI to boost my productivity. I'm surprised that that'll be the thing that makes me migrate to Github.
But, in it's sidebar of "Trending technologies", it lists "Ansible" and "Jenkins" .. which while are both great, I doubt are trending currently.
Curious what this is?
I'm often envious of these Macbook announcements, as the battery life on my XPS is poor (~2ish hours) when running Ubuntu. (No idea if it's also bad on Windows - as I haven't run it in years).
Thanks for the heads-up.
Pretty much the same problem we all work on every day in $DAY_JOB.
