So who has access to it? The say Ultra and rolling out to Pro, but are those the Google AI plans?

What about the Google One AI plans? Will they get it? That has a Pro AI plan as well.

Both clause and codex through bedrock seem to be working fine.

Uber isn't cheaper in India, but most people in urban areas prefer taking it over local alternatives or taxis. The cars are actually regular taxis, but the Uber tax is worth it over taxis for the convenience and potential safety/driver verification.

Tangentially, their steps listed to verify PGP signature is the prime example of why PGP has such dismal adoption.

I currently use hetzner and DO, but a while back when I was trying to find cheaper alternatives, and hetzner pretty good for its price to performance ratio. Smaller vps providers were crazy oversubscribed that would get pretty inconsistent performance.

None of the dedicated machines I found were cheaper, so I'm surprised someone is offering that for $35/month.

The problem is there are a class of problems that only appear after you go over the tip of what your system can handle, which are very difficult to predict or model.

Did we read the same article? This seemed pretty positive about UPI as a whole, while covering the expected drawbacks of adding fees.

Screenshots are much better for archival. So many times you go back to a url/link you shared, and poof it's gone or the content has changed from when you sent it.

Screenshots allows you to get a point in time reference to what you are sharing.

A self validating loop goes a long way with getting AI to optimize stuff. We had some builds that used to take a long time (15-20~ minutes), that i just asked Claude to reduce the build time. It brought it down to 2 minutes and under 10 seconds for incremental builds.

Turns out folks had been copy pasting some setup code which took 2 minutes to run, and only needed to be run once per environment. Claude refactored the code to get it to run once, and since we had tests which validated the build artifacts, it was able to roll back if its change had broke the build.

Use openWrt (https://openwrt.org), and use their hardware list to pick a consumer router with the feature set you need that can be flashed to use openWrt.

This will fly in EU. As long as the company states the time period for which it will keep data and clean it afterwards, gdpr has no issues with the data retention.

Their carve-outs for safety (public interest) and legal are also valid exceptions in gdpr as well.

How is this different from Jellyfish? I recall reading a paper around that back in the 2010s https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/nsdi12/nsdi12...

Edit: Answering my own question, Jellyfish proved theoretically that random networks can be better, and this is a working implementation based on that solves the problems with creating/operating random networks.

I work at AWS (disclaimer opinions are my own, do not reflect views of my employer) and i think the existence of a leaderboard has led to folks gamifying it. People see peers in a higher tier on the leaderboard and start burning tokens to catch up.

I think the company realizes this and is actively trying to avoid this, since for the new tools there isn't a leaderboard.

This blog is basically openAI admitting that Hey we parse and store your prompts!

I know it's well known in tech crowds that they use all prompt data for training, but most non tech people I talk to almost consider their chats with openAI to be private.

Why did they think this was a good blog post?
