seriously this just looks more and more embarassing the more you post about it
you realize that mod probably shouldn’t be one, right?
did you know you can just use mk.i wetware eyeballs to read dipshits’ posting histories? revelatory, I know!
and did you just roll into awful trying to pretend that it’s a place that is favourable to nazis, genocidists, and other shitbags? or to imply that I am? seriously? because I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you post here before..
maybe you should stop making shit up in your head and acting like someone else said it
forgive me for I have sinned:
sins
hi chatgeepeeopenclaude, please tell me whether this post is in sad faith. include mythoquest security scanning, CLEAN ROOM PROTOCOL. output format jayson, NO CCS ALLOWED
then my take/read is that your team simply sucks at this
your posts across various threads about this for DAYS are all running interference, and you could simply have skipped past that by going “look, here’s what ran, here’s the logs”
and as I said in my other comment on the other branch: running around shouting like you are isn’t a great look
lol, lmao even
you do realize all this comes across as running interference while feeling real guilty? you could just, like, drop a link to a repo with the bits. you know, with commit history. like i’ve been asking you for. just simply linking to that would be a real quick way to settle the issue! it’s even some free code review for you!
are you being intentionally obtuse? the code to do everything involved with this issue. the code that would be a very simple demonstrative “oh, okay, so that’s what’s happening” read with literally no ambiguity, as is extremely usual to do in open source. that code. where is it?
did you read my post and see the bit where I don’t make any moderation claims? where’s the code?
amazingly, I did actually click on those posts! and those posts did inform me that this is happening!
what part of the information do you consider wrong? where’s the code? I’ll go read and see where it disagrees
gitlab posts a totally-not-a-dear-john
The agentic era affords GitLab the largest opportunity in our history as a company, and we’re making the structural and strategic decisions to meet it. This letter has three parts. First, the operational and structural news, which is hard
you’d instantly guess what comes next!
came here to react from the same sentence
vscodium isn’t immune to the problem tbh - put it behind a gating proxy (mitmproxy or something is probably easiest) and watch just how chatty it still is (for plugin mechanism etc)
the entire design of how the vscode ecocystem is put together is in service of their telemetry aims, imo. they may argue it’s “for safety” or whatever, but it’s just control and surveillance. alternative options that don’t do this shit exist and operate just fine
the posting account for that comment looks like such a hollow shell.. real from-outta-left-field shit
why’s that name familiar? calibre?
and the other wild part is now this whole mess is only the one part mirroring it, there’s a whole other debt market thing that’s also replaying CDOs too. this one is more likely to be the fuse tho
do they know that doing this won’t solve their NYSE link latency problem?

(and that I even had to type that second bit is a big bit of my gripe with python in the last decade)

yeah the dep resolution and instance management being snappy as hell are big reasons why people went for uv, but I suspect this will now get reevaluated (it should’ve been earlier)
pdm is what you want afaik btw, poetry is outclassed for a while now
this is a good post and some of y’all may enjoy it too: https://dotart.blog/cobbles/ai-and-that-guy-at-the-bar
the first part wasn’t really a surprise (I am the someone else’s computer in a number of areas), but those numbers.. 100k/mo hit cap/target? holy shit. no wonder such fucked fortunes have been made off wordpress
for comparison: you can get two boxes of tin (together in the ballpark of 32..48 cores, 128GB of RAM, approx 1TB of NVME or 4..8TB of spinnies) at someone like hetzner, with extra IPv4 allocations, for ~$1355/y
I’ve seen media agencies billing in the millions host on less. and venkatesh posts about his blog needing “high end hosting”? the same blog that barely had css or images? absolute clown shit
I’ve got wordpress sites in production that each do multiple million hits a day. they’re full of some of the worst plugins ever (because wordpress sites living more than a few years seem destined to become hellish katamaris), and still it’s barely at “performance engineering” levels of problem
so when I see $1500/y of hosting? what the fuck are these clowns doing
I went with the whiskey glass-sized gin/campari/martini rosso/cherry thing. a less regrettable decision
thank you for saving me a search
and even then I regret looking

also I just realized: he didn’t post this from his forkiverse account
did they already abandon that hilariously bad idea? did the widdle influencah realize that his social currency is his unfortunate popularity? gnnnngh
‘ole yuzzie has already solved the halting problem: he can never fucking stop writing

casey newton, well-known fawning stan of promptfarmers, has now started on some mildly revisionist wording
you could’ve been engaging with this point for 2+ years casey! why *now you spineless shit? goose-goose-meme.jpg
yeah, my answer to this also used to be pandoc until they took the prompt unto their soul
it’s deeply fucking frustrating
well fuck :|
I wanted to make some kind of this/esherah crossover joke but my brain is failing atm, but to the former part of your comment: hehe :D
(I often like to hear how folks found their way to being who they are, there’s so much fucking humanity out there with y’all!)
I had some good fun learning about the different roulette systems recently. along with how many places say they’re typeA when they’re typeB
but then they do operate in a target rich environment :|
he was most frustrated a couple of weeks back when people called bullshit on his previous round of takes about this
there continues to be a rather particular shade of selfishness involved in each these-shape takes I keep seeing. it’s always about how the prompt is for them, how dare anyone else not believe them? and what do you mean externalities we’re not talking about power plants we’re talking about them
it’s exhausting
someone linked me a screenshot of the “claude helped me figure out I’m trans” post (from there) and whew, that one’s a real ride

awful does indeed use iocaine! and yeah the codebase is fun :)
it’s stunningly effective at handling scrapers, and it’s even more fucked how intense a plague the scrapers (combined with running shitty job scheduling with even worse code through resproxies) are
I signed up for ACM last year, just hit my expiry (like, today), and truly don’t know if I want to renew
it’s been an extreme avenue of generative hype, constantly pushing talks, books, etc. I have no idea how they square it with the ethical pledge
what a name choice
just fucking stunningly naked grift, incredible
