Would love a few names. Many of them fail to provide good uptime for large scale jobs or don’t have batch apis at all in my research.

It's really only between Anthropic and OpenAI for many of my use cases, since I have a Zero Data Retention agreement with both. I'm not trusting random inference providers and especially not Elmo with sensitive data.

Well, we use flash models extensively (both 2.5 and 3.1) and I cannot overstate this, google cannot fucking serve them without 503s 70% of the time on most days

I think it’s pure economics. Flash models are OP for the price, leads to too much demand, google cannot serve it. This is likely expensive to reduce load and hey, if it still makes money just keep the margin.

One persistent issue I keep having is preview environments for this kind of stuff. I have the full setup, migrations, database seeding, etc. But having it run off a PR is still kind of a mess with spinning up 2 services, databases, redis etc. Do you guys run into this problem?

How do you feel about it now? Like holistically.

It’s probably an offshoot of making Claude more and more suitable for code/cowork.

Technical question: I run my own Pi hole dns server. Is it possible to just add an A record for it? What are you guys doing to get around this?

I am a manager. I am the head of engineering at my company. I still don't understand what is going on.

IDK what everyone is doing anymore. Just why do you need 10 parallel agents doing things. How is this even a possible workflow for a person.

Yeah, I gave it a very fair shot. Got pretty good at it too. But I’m back to Vim too.

Things I loved: no plugins. Native LSP integration. The pickers are a lot faster and nicer than what I can get in neovim after absolutely atrocious configs.

Things I liked: w and e selects the word. I kinda got used to that and miss it in vim now.

Things I loathed: there is no clear mental model of what will get selected on a motion. Something like selecting a paragraph (V } in vim) is replaced with a (gf) which doesn’t ever do exactly what I want.

Overall, the annoyances outweighed the benefits. I wish evil-helix all the luck. I would use it but it kinda sucks on Mac rn since you have to whitelist every library used.

This is why everyone should have at least a basic education in materialist analysis. Our material relations dictate the structure of society, not the other way around. China is a manufacturing economy, that's why it's run be engineers, and America is built on exploiting the productive capacity of the rest of the world, so of course there's lots of lawyers.

I have a lot of mechanical keyboards, and honestly I prefer plastic over aluminum. I don't really understand the allure of all that heavy metal. The new 8BitDo one is a good example of a "premium" mechanical keyboard with a plastic case and it sounds and feels amazing.

I was actually shocked he included those tweets as if they were incredibly benign. I now believe this is an intentional move on his part. He knows the tweets are crazy incendiary, he just wants to filter out the audience early. This trend of catering to far right fan boys while maintaining plausible deniability is happening everywhere.
