> say you’re in the middle of working on something and you wish you had a commit you made last week on an experimental branch on the current branch before the last commit you made. That’s jj rebase -r oldercommit --before @-, without interrupting your work. I don’t like to think about how I’d do that with git.

This is the best pitch for jj I have seen yet. This should practically be the first text on their website.

I've never heard of anyone with ADHD on prescription amphetamines experiencing withdrawal when stopping. At least, not with any symptoms worse than just having ADHD and being unmedicated.

People with ADHD are often amused by referring to amphetamines as a "hard drug" since it has practically none of the typical hard drug effects on them.

> This is not business advice, this is superstition.

Precisely why the term is popular.

Ok but also one surefire way to crash a plane is to enter the cockpit and start perturbing things.

I am not a mobile gamer by any means but...

I think I would really like a Tie Fighter mobile port.

That being said I still remember all the keybindings of Tie Fighter...

... and the correct sound card settings for my Pentium.

Is GitHub Cooked? Decidedly yes.

Migrating to something else has been raised as a concern during every engagement with clients and prospective clients in the past year.

"Do you use GitHub?"

"Yes though we'd like to move to something else, we just don't know what yet."

As soon as the next big thing shows up, they're done. And they know it.

So, funnily enough in my own career I've experienced The Headquarters event several times, and each time, after the lavish new headquarters is built, I think to myself, "this is it, we've peaked!" and each time it was an inflection point followed by even more growth and success.

I think I'm at 5 now.

Also three of those companies designed their own font too, though none of them still use it.

I'd love this too, but it is impossible. If you believe it's possible then you fundamentally misunderstand how greatly coupled our countries are.

A rather large amount of Canadian industry is benefiting from these regulations. Adopting policies like these would be tremendously disruptive and cause a lot of short term issues, upsetting manufacturers, foreign owned subsidiaries (who employ a lot of people), unions and retailers.

I'd love to see copyright reform though.

The domain business is a distraction. It was wise to sell it. They still own several gTLDs so they have plenty of revenue from this avenue.

Selling .coms and Donut's gTLDs? Peanuts.

Godaddy makes all their money from other stuff, and Google still does lots of other stuff. Google Workspace still prints money.

Gemini is actually good enough for pretty much everyone I know who is not in tech and uses Android. These people are downright pleased with Google's AI summaries.

The fact that Google can push Gemini out in so many ways with their existing marketshare is mind boggling. The fact that ChatGPT hasn't lost 50-100% of web share shows it's Google's game to lose at this point.

I think I understand what you are trying to convey but I fear you've made the same mistake again, this time with "soul" instead of "intelligence."

I think what you are getting at is that they are deterministic automata. They are machines. We have introduced randomness to add variation but it is an artificial randomness that simply perturbs the path traversed.

When we choose words it isn't because of a token distribution, nor because we rolled a die. We choose words because we feel a certain way, the external world, our body and senses are all connected as one system. These machines don't experience moods or get tired or feel better after a good night's sleep. They don't know their audience, we're all the same to them. We have no personal relationship nor can we establish one, as presenting some arbitrary background is not the same thing as a fluid, evolving relationship that accumulates through experience over time. There are no scars or fond memories.

If these things can truly be intelligent, to abuse your use of the word, then at least we are quite far from holding them correctly.

This is true of trees even. People think forests have looked the same for all time but trees are frequently pushing each other out of areas. Disease and pests play a huge role as well.

There's some amount of introduced pressure due to invasive species of both trees and pests but it's always been this way. Everything is in flux all the time.

Stable pockets exist but they're relatively rare.

Nice to see a Canadian company at the top.

It seems like the defense industry in Canada is starting to boom.

Ah yes, how could I forget the ARGUS-IS, a household staple of the early 21st century. Those were the days...

The Amazon Fire Phone did this in 2014. I'm not aware of any prior art in mainstream devices aside from gimmicks like 3D (stereoscopic) photos. I can't remember if the Fire Phone had any relevant gimmicks but it certainly used multiple lenses to produce a single image.

Taking Switch as an example, I can buy digital games at Walmart or Amazon. For instance, Amazon might have a sale where their price for a given digital game is ~10% lower than Nintendo's eShop.

Okay so if I understand this correctly they want Sony to compensate (Dutch) customers because Sony no longer sells digital download codes/game keys to third-parties? If they started doing that, would they still have a case?

For example, Nintendo does sell digital download codes, so this line of thinking doesn't apply to them? Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Or is this about 3rd party app stores again?

There are already class-actions against Sony in the US and UK for what appears to be this exact thing (using their dominant monopoly position to charge high prices) so it's not surprising to see it pop up in other jurisdictions this late in the game.

Of course, I signed many such agreements. I've also turned down a ton of "gifts" such as these.

But oftentimes they are not clearly gifts or bribes. For example, inviting you or your team out for dinner and drinks can be harmless.

It's not unusual to take clients out, even to sporting events. As long as the host party is present, and there is intent to network or discuss business, it usually qualifies as "corporate hospitality" -- even the strip club!

All expensed and paid for out of the marketing budget. A far cry from gifts or bribes, apparently!

You've clearly never purchased enterprise software at scale before. Oracle doesn't do anything that everyone else isn't already doing.

Dinners, drinks, bottles of scotch, tickets to baseball and football games, plane tickets to attend training sessions in conference rooms attached to nice beachside hotels, business lunches at strip clubs, Superbowl tickets, cruise tickets, wristwatches...

Not to mention mugs, tshirts, water bottles and stickers.

Everything is on the menu.

I agree with the concept but the name is terrible. "Core team" gives one the impression that this is the most important team to the project. It's not! It could be called the "governance facilitator" team or admins or something.

Please name the next iteration something less spicy.

They could simply spend a few months and a few million tokens and get their own port, no?

I doubt even 30000x faster would prompt a policy change.

Here we go again.

AGPL is untested in courts. There is no definitive definition of what could be considered within the blast radius such that it would require AGPL licensing.

There's a reason AGPL is banned at Google and most sane companies. It's simply too dangerous.

You can't simply say "clients aren't bound" because it depends.

I'd rather see the BSL used here to be perfectly honest. At least it's simple.

This is correct, the Earth is effectively a ball of water, and would get blended/smeared/sheared like if you toss water across a yard out of a cup.

This matches my perception of a ton of recent Cloudflare blog posts. I literally have no idea who they are targeting. It almost feels like they're targeting themselves.

Your math is a bit funny if you're assuming the 1/0.5/98.5 ratios: you doubled input and output tokens but not cached. If you double cached tokens to match your original ratio it works out to around $1.11, and if you 10x the cached token cost it's around $6.08.

Based on your $0.83 estimate, the margin isn't great. This is within shooting distance of "at cost" which is probably pretty close to what DeepSeek is operating with, ignoring the value of the data they're collecting of course.

> And I believe that this framework still has some room for optimization for generation with high batch sizes.

If that optimization can bring this scenario closer to $0.50 then it gets pretty compelling, otherwise I'm not confident.

His book The Cuckoo's Egg is great!

You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.

Correct, it's the counterpart to SAST.

If the resulting image contains copyrighted content, such as a snippet of photoshop's proprietary code, then it most certainly might be infringing.

It's not as simple as your reductive analogy. It's for a court to decide.

I'm referring to C4D. If you used it after Blender, then you probably used the newer C4D UI.
