One of the approaches I'm taking is to try hard to simplify the code generated by LLMs. If you can reduce its complexity, it usually means you have a fairly good idea of what's going on in the code change. I consider which edge cases are getting unnecessarily handled, which new vocabulary was introduced where existing or simpler vocabulary would be fine, etc. etc.

I also have a /simplification-check skill I run after pretty much every large change, and that already helps surface the murky areas of the code and sometimes remove complexity before I even start reviewing, thus accelerating the review.

Will give it a try! How is LiveKit working for you in terms of achieving low input2video latency? Did it lend itself to getting tuned for this application?

However, not paying does not mean that you necessarily become "the product".

Offering loss-leading products is a common business strategy and I'm perfectly okay taking advantage of this for hosting needs that fit a vendor's free tier.

Static hosting is very cheap to offer and gathering free tier users will gain developer mind-share, which helps the vendor can sell their truly money-making products. To pick a clear-cut example: AWS Lambda does not collect any additional data on free tier usage compared to paid usage.

I would love to try it, can I sign up for a Linux desktop app notify-list?

It's most likely two or more separate attackers operating. The first malware, Shai Hulud 2, exfiltrates credentials from the infected dev machine to new public GitHub repositories. As the repositories are public and searchable via GitHub's interfaces, any malicious attacker aware of the attack can easily grab the credentials and launch any attack, whether it's a noisy destructive script or some sophisticated ransomware.

That's my bad, apologies. This job post will be published next week and I somehow removed this mention from my comment while editing it. I've put it back now. In the meantime, feel free to apply through the Platform Engineer role while stating your targeted role and I will re-categorize your application later. Thank you!

This is (in part) what "world models" are about. While some companies like Tesla bring together a fleet of small specialised models, others like CommaAI and Wayve train generalist models.

What issues did you encounter with WorkOS? I'm currently evaluating it and would love to avoid repeating knowable mistakes.
