Reading the Argonian reference made my brain immediately think “The Lusty Carbonian Maid”

This all depends on the SLA that gets signed.

If a frontier lab is willing to draft an SLA that assumes liability, corporate will pay for it as long as the cost/benefit is in favor of it over insourcing.

Right?

If a human should read it, a human should write it.

I can't be the only person who saw "NUMA" and then read the word "memory" in the title as "Memora-hee, Memora-haa".

We should thank companies for warning us during the interview process that they are so separated from reality (especially in the AI era)

If AI can’t make them recognize a work life balance has value then it’s easy to see they don’t believe the “force multiplier” BS they are peddling

I remember having to do this with icomoon back in the day when icon fonts were all the rage because svg support in ie11 was lacking and downloading the entirety of font awesome was a huge payload hit.

Ollama cloud is also a fantastic deal. They also don’t have a monthly limit, just session and weekly.

Only slightly related, but I have been using Oban as a Postgres native message queue in the elixir ecosystem and loving it. For my use case, it’s so much simpler than spinning up another piece of infrastructure like Kafka or rabbitmq

I shudder to think how small the macOS ui text will be on this but I’m willing to find out.

This might sound crazy but I started live streaming partially because I wanted to work on side projects.

You will be less productive than getting into a focus state off line. But 0.5x is still infinitely higher than zero.

On stream, you don’t get to randomly hop into a game or doom scroll social media or hackernews.

I was digging into the cursor effect just to see why it's so laggy for some people and noticed that this is actually a Next.js site.

That is news to me that Google is using Nextjs for anything.

I think this is a good case for applying Hanlon's Razor. The person that did the forking and removal of copyright text may simply not know that it needed to stay there.

I would love to know what processes MS is considering to prevent this in the future as well as what kind of auditing might be done to look at other projects that started as forks.

I would love to know of some of the companies you know of that have gone this route. Maybe nothing we've heard of, but still sounds interesting.

I recently discovered the way Tanstack does this. Basically, if the heading of the section is in the viewport, then the list item is highlighted.

So you could have multiple items highlighted, but it still "works" somewhat intuitively for the end user.

The drawback is that it requires JS via intersection observer. But maybe the CSS standards committee could see value in this kind of thing eventually.

Not weird to do all that. Just weird to not disclose it.
