> That the tech benefits may not be there, but they’re using it for the non-tech benefits

My read of the article is that this is correct, but that the benefits they're using it for are the operational, and organisational.

I think the comment you're replying to is arguing that those benefits don't really matter or outweigh the additional complexity costs when N=2 (engineers). I think I'd probably agree.

Why would anyone switch yet? They have the same models they did four days ago.

Do you mean ensuring they can switch quickly, or putting in place systems to be able to shift their traffic more easily?

Does anyone know how this compares to interception-tools?[0]

Congrats on the funding Lev!

Just to say we're happy pgdog users here! One feature we quite like (of the proxy) is the handling of different connection settings per connection (i.e. statement_timeout). When we investigated RDS proxy (ages ago) it wasn't supported, I think the same was true for pgbouncer so it required a bunch of application changes. With pgdog, it just works transparently.

I disagree. It's definitely gotten worse, notification ads for my TV for example.

LG also didn't used to have home screen ads, but that's a long time ago now.

I'm really sick of the enshittification of smart TV's.

A while after I've had my LG TV, and found every arcane different menu you need to remove all the ads. They started sending me ads via the notification pop-up.

This continued even after finding and removing the consent for advertising (that I'd missed in one of the consent pop-ups.)

I've considered and looked into "dumb" TVs, but I don't think they're for me. I just want one that's not enshittified!

My guess is that Adafruit tried flux.ai, noticed a server misconfiguration, contacted flux about it, and then received a cease and desist to prevent them disclosing the vulnerability publicly.

(AFAICT they haven't published anything yet? If they have it's been taken down).

There's a definite bit of Streisand effect here because I for one am very much looking forward to finding out what the deal is.

Yes. Wouldn't you?

I built a pi extension. Pi repo has an example extension that uses anthropics sandbox which is a total buggy mess. (To be clear, that's anthropics sandbox itself, not the pi extension wrapper which is fine)

I dug into it a little bit to see about improving things there, but decided to write a minimal version that better suited my needs instead.

That's what I came here to check. Last model release they only put it into preview[0] at first.

Does that mean this model is production ready?

This is what I want to know. Are there any consequences for this contractor? At least fraud or negligence or something?

I'd also be interested. Here is a comment from a couple of months ago where I was asking similar (with a link to an mcp that I haven't tried yet)[0]

Yeah, they said they used the API, but it sounds like they only did that for one of the examples?

The other examples were to eliminate some other ideas (guess based on topic etc). If be interested if all of those were done via the API since some level of information linking from the account is my best guess for how it got all of them.

Really? I thought retail was. It's been almost a decade since I worked at prime video but I think everything was running on AWS. (Some things didn't use brazil etc, but I think all the servers etc. were on AWS)

I mean, amazon (shopping, along with prime video e.t.c.) runs on AWS.

> we started working on path to multi cloud.

Is this microsoft stating that they aren't able to get acceptable reliability from Azure? (I mean, I think a lot of us have heard that, but it's interesting to hear it from microsoft themselves).

Are you taking about what they write to run the service? Because looking at the uptime, and considering it's Microslop, I wouldn't be surprised.

Frankly I think the cli UX and documentation is still much better for ollama.

It makes a bunch of decisions for you so you don't have to think much to get a model up and running.

Yep, I was wondering which services people would recommend. I had been thinking about B2, I just haven't prioritised it.

The first time I stumbled onto a big security vulnerability (exposed stripe/aws/play store keys. I was poking around an API a web app was using, and instead of hitting /api/v1, if you just hit /api it served them. I wasn't trying to do anything malicious), the very first thing I did was contacted a security researcher friend to ask about covering my ass while performing responsible disclosure.

You hear too much about people being persecuted for trying to point out security vulnerabilities. (Guess they haven't heard about "don't shoot the messenger").

(It turned out fine after finally managing to speak with someone. Had to ring up customer service and say "look, here are the last digits of your stripe private key. Please speak with an engineer". Figuring out how to talk with someone was the difficult thing)

What cloud backend are people using for restic? B2/S3/something else? I'm still just backing up to other machines using it (though I'd also heavily recommend restic)

I seem to remember many people saying it was done by the mayor because Microsoft moved their German headquarters

> Reiter denied that he had initiated the reversal in gratitude for Microsoft moving its German headquarters from Unterschleißheim back to Munich

So I just searched the article for Finney to see why it claimed it wasn't him. It claims Satoshi was active after Finney had died?

What's that about? I used to be of the opinion that it was probably hal, but haven't paid too much attention. What's the counter evidence here? And why do we disregard that?

Why can't you use opus with pi?

As a pi fan I'm neutral. Gonna wait and see how it plays out.

I've seen some negative sentiment in this thread which I don't really understand if you read the article.

Ooooh. I didn't know palantir was a tolkien thing[0] until just now! Oh god, that was my first guess but thought some more and it turns out that anduril is too[1]. (I was similarly unaware)

Anything else I missed?

What are the complicated apparently contrived reasons?

It's not at all clear from the article.

All I really got from the article is "collabora are banned from contributing to open office, and aren't happy about it". What reason did they give? What's the actual reason you think it is (you mention things are contrived, so I assume there's another reason you think)? What's the libre office online stuff got to do with it?

All of this is unclear from the article.

I was chatting with my sister about this. She has a P2S and highly recommends it.

I did a bit of research and I agree with her. The other one that stood out was the snap maker U1 (it has a nice elegant solution for multi-colored prints, and promises to be open etc going forward).

I'm personally going with the P2S with AMS for the simplicity of the bambu ecosystem (though I'm conflicted about it).

Still after using the creality ender 3 for a long time I'm excited to see how much easier things can be. :)

Oh fidget spinner is a good idea. I bought some good will with an articulated dragon that my daughter likes that is pretty cool.

Have you got any links/suggestions for the RC stuff? I've not looked into that yet.

Shhhh! Some of us need to convince our significant others that a 3d printer is actually useful, and not just a toy/waste of space.
