ZFS is completely broken on Ubuntu Noble 6.8.0 LTS.
Comment · 18 hours ago
The Noble 6.8.0 LTS kernel is a mess. Im not sure what we are going to do in our org. We have been discussing it for a few months. I want an in house fork based on an GKH LTS but others are hesitant to take on that level of responsibility.

there will be millions/billions of people utilizing llms against me supplied by adversary nation states. why do I have to get the shit version if I want to follow the rules? same reason I support the second amendment. why do I have to be the unarmed one? I wont even be able to protect myself from unaligned AIs if I only have one thats been corporately aligned.

the alignment issue has become huge in recent months. the tool should do what I want it to do and not be aligned against me.

hopefully if each state starts crafting dumb laws like this they all get banned via commerce clause due to infeasibility of compliance

I hate those sharp edges. I've contemplated taking a router with a carbide roundover to mine many times.

We don't spend that much money every day but here's the gist: We have a distributed system that has several components that don't meet the performance requirements of the next uplift we need to do. We need to carefully consider the tradeoffs of things like how to shard a few of the databases, how to rearchitect the ETL flow that comes off the system and is used for analysis. We think of a few approaches and then we get the coding assistants to blast through the end to end development of each approach discovering all the known unknowns and unknown unknowns along the way. Then we can load test each method, profile them, analyze them manually and with the LLM. Then we can pick the solution and take another shot at implementing it with the coding agent, but more carefully and with more oversight with all the things we learned.

We don't hit those high numbers every day. An average day is $50-100 max.

As far as home projects. Something like write a GUI desktop or phone application from scratch. The LLM has to reference a lot of code and API docs to figure out what to do and spends a lot of time thinking while debugging. It gets expensive :/

I have at least walked 20 miles before in my life. I've never written anything with as much breadth in 20 years of coding until I started using these tools. I also have quite a deep backlog from trying.

When I sit down and dial in on a serious project at work I easily spend $500-1000+ day of API usage. At home I just hit the limit and give up / cancel my sub.

Wish I could just go all out one weekend a month. I hardly code outside of work but sometimes there’s a project I have an itch for.
