Soon gone are the days of incremental builds. The water cooling enthusiasts will like it.

Absolute adoration for how this was published, broken down, and discussed. It really improves my trust in the workers team at Cloudflare.

I've heard its a mixture because they can't source enough in-house compute

Now that Cursor has moved towards a credits system, grok code fast is making the plan last while still being reasonable in inference time. GPT 5 and GPT 5 Codex actually moves my "amount remaining" bar in realtime while being incredibly slow.

That wasn’t what I expected! It got me laughing though. Hopefully they do better so news and TV doesn’t trigger them too like Alexa at the beginning.

Now how about Meta and their questionable means of acquiring tons of content?

My experience with 'sonic' during the stealth phase had it do stuff plenty fast, but the quality was slightly off target for some things. It did create tests and then iterate on those tests. The tests it wrote don't actually verify intended behavior. It only verified that mocks were called with the intended inputs while missing the larger picture of how it is used.

Agreed. This is too meta-aligned to not end up in some legal spat later on when money goes through it.

If you ever try something like this with another bash-hackery tool like NVM, you will have a very bad time.

That's what route-specific Anubis is for.

I'd be very interested in how to replicate parsing like this. Slow typescript inference has stalled my own exploration into things like this.

I can't wait for the day when attr has this implemented. It would eliminate the need for so many inline styles

There was a day when Excel was used as a password manager. It might have been password protected. It might not have.

It is as if Wordpress [1] is asserting that the original author is a danger to public safety. Their terms read: ...
