Yeah, hasn't it been "best practice" for a decade or more to treat JWT like a ticket and swap it for a cookie-based session ID in anything browser-like? Then you just do all the cookie session "best practices" to lock it down.

Nothing is a fantastic alternative. Graphite is an incredible amount of "extra" for a team that just communicates and knows how to use git..

The valuation bubble on AI is threatening the entire global economy at this point.

To a layman that seems like a really small efficiency tax if you can't get your hands on the magnets for some reason.

The road to hell is paved with "good" intentions.

"Only I can save us". It's a classic tragedy and cautionary tale.

The idea Anthropic was going to speed run AI so they could control the usage and make it "safe" for humanity was never altruistic; it was a HUGE FUCKING RED FLAG.

This all seems "routine".

Also the little sound bite about peak demand, Texas has enormous capacity during the summer as well; far, far exceeding demand. It makes total sense to be testing and connecting multi-GW consumers during these months.

I have never heard a recognized elite level anyone stop using their skills and say "I'm not noticing the decline in my own abilities" LOL

Until you don't. Then you'll have a story with something missing.

That's one way to look at it. Kinda like a way to look at cargo planes is in terms of boxes and sticks.

> with no second thoughts whatsoever

As someone responsible for mitigating card testing "attacks", account harvesting, and DDOS attacks..

It is unfortunate, but the ISP industries(from telco up to transit) and CC industries aren't providing a lot of great options. This idea that people are doing things "without a second thought" is usually false when it comes to businesses.

The updates to this are insane; massive corruption.

Perhaps "they" can write games however they want? If you don't like it, don't do business with them?

This is a weird thing to be legislating on.

Shame it'll be like 3 years until System.Text.Json sees support for serialization or exporting schemas for them..

You are drawn to the multi generational accumulation of wealth and power? The societal ill our founders were concerned about that's currently giving us a high grade fever?

Clearly you are not involved lol. The suggestion seems to be that YC is involved in some way; perhaps untraditional.

Maybe some EE stuff like SSO and etc? Unfortunately layering that stuff on is super low effort in these LLM days.
