They also have a wireguard VPN service called 1.1.1.1 (with WARP). My understanding is you basically VPN into a cloudflare datacenter so you don't have issues with cloudflare IPs being blocked

I'm in Spain as well and it sucks a lot. What I do now is I go thorough Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 VPN (set up on my router). Fixes the issue and there is practically no latency or bandwidth impact.

Good question, they also list the same customers (create.xyz, continue.dev)

It's more expensive than Gemini flash which can actually write pretty decent code (not just apply a diff). Fast AI edit application is definitely great but that's pretty expensive

Morph v3 fast: Input: $1.20 / M tokens, Output $2.70 / M tokens

Gemini 2.5 Flash: $0.30 / M tokens, Output $2.50 / M tokens

In 2-3 years once this begins to matter for a new project you can probably just put the codebase into context and the "make it DRY" prompt will work. Already works with 2-3 files.

New comment by Kamshak in "Significant performance improvements with Edge 134"

Kamshak — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 08:32:12 +0000

Any perf improvement is great but the way they promote it seems a bit much?

1.7% faster navigation times 2% faster startup times 5% to 7% improvement in web page responsiveness

I'd say in practice a 2% faster startup time is probably barely noticeable?

If you have a job offer for 50k and a university degree you can get an EU "blue card". Went through the process and it's pretty easy, I don't think this visa is a big issue for tech workers

There is also unintentional randomness due to the parallelism in inference (e.g. parallel matmuls added together on the GPU). Since it's multiplying floats every operation has rounding drift that accumulates differently depending on the order of operations. So even at temperature 0 you're not getting deterministic outputs

Firebase has an auth API that is free built in, it's weird that they didn't just use it. Idk if whoever built this would have built a more secure solution with a server layer or just have a public mongo instance instead

New comment by Kamshak in "Facebook reported fake numbers to advertisers"

Kamshak — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 16:05:07 +0000

I've done a few impulse purchases from FB / Instagram ads (a razor, two ebooks, signed up to a subscription service). I'm very happy with these purchases.

Are you saying advertising on FB/IG doesn't work in general?

Kamshak — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 13:54:47 +0000

I was thinking the same but then browsers have caches and most of the CDNs (e.g. jsdeliver) set max-age to a year and immutable so you're only tracked once

Even though I agree with the benefits of having control over updates seeing how popular SaaS has become I find it quite likely this will happen to (many kinds of) Apps as well.

There are for sure a few concepts you need to learn with k8s, however I wonder if it would be much shorter if you did a guide like this for manually done / bash script powered / ansible deployments

And have not been used in the US for 6 years

(from the wikipedia article linked above)

> In the United States, the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 required that all full-body scanners operated in airports by the Transportation Security Administration use "Automated Target Recognition" software, which replaces the picture of a nude body with the cartoon-like representation.[3] As a result of this law, all backscatter X-ray machines formerly in use by the Transportation Security Administration were removed from airports by May 2013, since the agency said the vendor (Rapiscan) did not meet their contractual deadline to implement the software.[4]

> AMP does not actually make loading any faster

Every AMP link i click on google loads crazy fast. I don't know why the implementation details or google's incentivizing it would make this not count for some reason.

I don't like what amp is doing to the web either but the user experience is really good, pages do load much quicker than your average page and I find myself preferring them a lot over the uncertainty and frustration when you click other links on a bad connection

Angular for example. They even hire non Google contributors to work more closely with them and have contributors programs to include the community
