sabedevops··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
You shouldn’t find American ones trustworthy either.
sabedevops··on Are we self-sovereign PKI yet?
I've struggled with PGP with the idea that I can't quite express "I'm signing as this specific User ID by using this specific signing subkey"... The only way I've found to reliably express that is to maintain completely separate keys. Is there anything in the works to give ergonomics around this?

Stability of development, features etc is to the customer's benefit.

My Mom’s dead, as is freedom of speech on ycombinator apparently.
sabedevops··on My first impressions on ROCm and Strix Halo
The problem with ROCm, unlike CUDA, is that it doesn’t run on much of AMDs own hardware, most notably their iGPU.
sabedevops··on Launch HN: Freestyle – Sandboxes for Coding Agents
I think eBPF is a valid example, because it allows you to program the kernel to some extent. That being said and assuming it's not important to your individual goal, why is a rootless podman container running rootless podman inside the container still not sufficient? Do you really need nested virtualization? What are some of those other important features?
sabedevops··on GAIA – Open-source framework for building AI agents that run on local hardware
ROCm is finally getting better due to a few well meaning engineers.

But let’s be honest, AMD has been an extremely bad citizen to non-corporate users.

For my iGPU I have to fake GFX900 and build things from source or staging packages to get that working. Support for GFX90c is finally in the pipeline…

The improvements feel like a bodyguard finally letting you through the door just because NVIDIA is eating their lunch and they don’t want their club to be empty.

They strongarm their customers to using “Enterprise” GPUs to be able to play with ROCm, and are only broadening their offerings for market share purposes.

Really shouldn’t reward this behavior.

sabedevops··on Dcmake: A new CMake debugger UI
Great that you used AI to build something useful, but it’s still weird to me when someone says “I built this”. Maybe the more correct way to say this is “I spec’d this”
sabedevops··on MegaTrain: Full Precision Training of 100B+ Parameter LLMs on a Single GPU
Can you take the time to write your methods? I’d be interested in reading it
sabedevops··on Launch HN: Freestyle – Sandboxes for Coding Agents
What does this protect you from that you’re exposed to by running a well-crafted rootless container on a system with SELinux or similar?
sabedevops··on Lisette a little language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go
Well, isn’t division just substractive addition?
sabedevops··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
He might sound like he has a grudge but you sound like you’re personally invested. Shill?
sabedevops··on ChatGPT won't let you type until Cloudflare reads your React state
Seriously. The hypocrisy is staggering!
sabedevops··on A.I. researchers are negotiating $250M pay packages
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

sabedevops··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
I agree with your overall sentiment, but there are a few areas that the public clouds excel at despite this: geoscale and startups.
sabedevops··on Ask HN: Namecheap charged my card, didn't deliver, then upped the price
The seller should be banned under the Namecheap TOS. Furthermore, Namecheap should offer this buyer assistance and credit towards a future purchase of a domain as a good will gesture.
sabedevops··on OpenFeature – a vendor-agnostic, community-driven API for feature flagging
Where is the tldr? Anyone familiar…what does this do and why do we care about it being standards based?
sabedevops··on OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk?
He has 100% been coached by their legal counsel to distance himself from this as this is likely going to court soon (being it’s likely very illegal). That’s why he repeats “we’ve never clawed back” twice…the chilling effect intended had a real effect, at a crucial time for the company, the likely motivation being to defraud investors who may have otherwise been more careful in their support if internal malfeasance around data set sourcing practices were revealed.

I hope ex-employees sue and don’t contact him personally. The damage is done. Don’t be dumb folks.

sabedevops··on Nightshade: An offensive tool for artists against AI art generators
Can you elaborate on how they supplement their income?
sabedevops··on Securing Ansible with a Zero Trust Overlay
OP here. I use Ansible a lot in my day-to-day work, and the day the OpenZiti Python SDK came out, I wrote a wrapper around the Paramiko connection plugin to secure the connection to the target. It was so easy, and worked so well, I wrote a small demo so you all can try it too. Happy to answer any questions, and if you try it, share whatever feedback you have!
sabedevops··on I think the GNOME designers are incompetent
Shit article with hidden agenda: shake confidence in GNOME, which is free and is becoming the defacto GUI on Linux distributions that matter (and loved by millions).
sabedevops··on America is one of the few cultures with insults for smart people?
"It sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons. We passed laws, struck down laws - for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not on poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were and we never beat our chest. We built great, big things, made ungodly technological advanced, explored the universe, cured diseases and we cultivated the world's greatest artists AND the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it. It didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election and we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed... by great men, men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.”

― Aaron Sorkin, The Newsroom Script Episode 1
