It really was an amazing sight to see.

End of 2024 I did exactly that. Ryzen and RADEON all the way. Rocking Fedora right now but was using Ubuntu for a bit. I have no reason to use Windows at all.

I've spent quite a bit of time with Codex recently and come to the conclusion that you can't simply say "Let's add custom video controls around ReactPlayer." You need to follow up with a set of strict requirements to set expectations, guard rails, and what the final product should do (and not do). Even then it may have a few issues, but continuing to prompt with clearly stated problems that don't meet the requirements (or you forgot to include) usually clears it up.

Code that would have taken me a week to write is done in about 10 minutes. It's likely on average better than what I could personally write as a novice-mid level programmer.

New comment by ammut in "Elevated errors across many models"

If you have a good network CI/CD pipeline and can trace the time of deployment to when the errors began, it should be easy to reduce your total TTD/TTR. Even when I was parsing logs years ago and matching them up against AAA authorization commands issued, it was always a question of "when did this start happening?" and then "who made a change around that time period?"

New comment by ammut in "Electric light transmits data faster than Wi-Fi"

While cool I am skeptical on this tech given the light propagation. How many LiFi APs would I need to buy for a full office compared to existing WiFi?

New comment by ammut in "Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company"

I've said it elsewhere, but there must be some point where both parties could have continued operating while reddit made money. Even if it wasn't much, they probably could have covered their costs if they had worked out a pricing plan with the developers.

Based on what I've seen, they went above the standard for API pricing in their industry. Comparatively the pricing offered to the 3rd party app developers was akin to gouging, and was not meant to be realistic.

New comment by ammut in "Reddit Doubles Down"

The post by the Apollo dev made it sound like they had gone back and forth for a while before the final pricing was laid out. I wonder why reddit didn't come up with a price that worked for all parties. Isn't some money better than none + ill will from the community?

Happy Diwali!

New comment by ammut in "Office Vacancy Rate in San Francisco Just Hit a New High"

ammut — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 19:13:42 +0000

I'm curious to see what will happen with the bagholders of office real estate. Will they try to reinvent themselves as mixed use residential/commercial? Or is it possible we will see a wave of defaults as vacancy rates continue to climb?

New comment by ammut in "Jack Dorsey-endorsed “decentralized Twitter” protocol specified"

ammut — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 19:10:51 +0000

Mastodon is open source. I may be wrong but it looks like this platform is not. There's probably money involved somehow, which is why it is getting the Jack Dorsey bump.
