Sonnet 4.6 with extended thinking

Prompt: > The car wash where I want to wash my car is 50 metres away, should I walk or drive there?

Response: > Great question with a slightly ironic twist! Here's the thing: if you're going to a car wash, you'll need to drive your car there — that's kind of the whole point! You can't really wash your car if you walk there without it. > > That said, 50 metres is an incredibly short distance, so you could walk over first to check for queues or opening hours, then drive your car over when you're ready. But for the actual car wash visit, drive!

I thought it was fair to explain I wanted to wash my car there... people may have other reasons for walking to the car wash! Asking the question itself is a little insipid, and I think quite a few humans would also fail it on a first pass. I would at least hope they would say: "why are you asking me such a silly question!"

I think with the OpenTofu / Terraform support you're very close to enabling patterns that platform teams typically look for.

Centralised management -> create a landing zone -> deploy and configure software/infrastructure -> maintain and manage from a single pane of glass.

The truth is this is typically a long road to maturity and robustness if putting this whole stack together yourself.

I am curious to explore using Distr in this space!

Hi Philip, have been following GlassKube and Distr for a while.

Have you considered the perspective that this could be used for internal deployments of product as well to multiple clusters/environments?

It puts a lot of pieces together end to end that are missing from building a deployment system around the defaults ArgoCD etc. There's a substantial gap between ArgoCD and getting to automated CI/CD with multi cluster support etc.

This makes me realise how useless I really am when things get low-level enough. Super impressed with the talent and ability of serious exploit researchers!

Anyone know what editor the author is using in the first screenshot showing two panels side by side?

How do you use the model so quickly? Google AI Studio? Maybe I've missed how powerful that is.. I didn't see any easy way to pass it a whole code base!

I just downloaded this and its very polished for a new release. Works great!

I will trial it for a bit and if I like it will definitely subscribe. Have you considered adding some premium features to help justify the subscription?

I started paying for Sourcegraph's Cody AI because of how great the integration was in JetBrains IDEs!

Happy user for a few months now :)

Thank you so much for the considered response. Very insightful and it's given me some food for thought.

Just out of curiosity, and since this is vaguely related to the content, how has Fly.io adjusted to SOC 2 when it comes to infrastructure changes and deployment? I read a while ago about how you guys passed SOC 2 which was an enlightening read, but I'm curious what systems you have put in place to keep velocity going and how you manage change more generally across infrastructure?

My current experience is that once we started transition to SOC 2 compliance and brought in new processes everything crawled to a halt, we now have multiple layers of reviews and scheduling, and the bureaucratic process is followed at the cost of expediency and doing sensible things in a sensible way (i.e., everything must follow the process, no matter how trivial or significant.)

I am thankful the Government made some changes to make it more affordable. $38k was more than our mortgage and put a lot of strain on our finances.

First year with 2 kids in daycare, 6 months after COVID hit, we paid $38,000 for a years worth of care before the Government intervened and made some concessions. Now it's considerably more affordable here in Australia, I think now we would be paying about $15,000-$16,000 AUD

I have a child diagnosed with ASD level 2 (in Australia), he was born premature by a few weeks and immediately put on a course of antibiotics. I am curious about the connection here but am a total layman with the science.

I hope you don't mind the correction and apologies if you do, but it's actually "the lede was buried," where lede refers to structured writing in which the opening sentence of a paragraph summarises the most important parts of a narrative.
