<p>Fantastic read and article.<p>As an ardent follower of IOCCC since ages (where I learnt a trick or two during the initial C days around late 90s) this is seriously cool!<p>Many may not even appreciate the power of C! Becoz hardly it is getting taught and used nowadays. People who know knows it better. The laziness and wrappers have taken over the programming world and now AI is taking it to another level.<p>In near future, I guess people might even forget to code! Where to optimize and obfuscate then? Skilled ones would need to be preserved with awe!<p>Need to document them (not as a training material for AI for sure!), but somewhere else where it could be learnt by the one who needs it! Privately!<p>Having it on the internet is definitely prone to stealing / misusing it in the name of fair use policy.</p>

<p>Extremely sorry for this unrelated rant. Got triggered by the keyword "Modi".<p>Quoting Modi is a joke which one cannot even remotely relate w.r.t to AI and don't even feel sorry for saying that since that man blabbers on every stage about non-sensical / non-existent stuff! Watching his videos is the best timepass one can have!<p>Having said that, the infra and mindset is definitely not there in India to even remotely to innovate or compete in AI race!<p>Academia is a huge BS where every other person is a backstabber!<p>A lot of talent is there for sure, but all wants to work for some company or another since there is absolutely zero support for entrepreneurs . No real innovation.<p>All copy cats as they have proven with mobile and robotics. Just copying or masking Chinese products with the local brand names and reselling. That's all they are good at and that's the irony.<p>So far, nothing has come from that country which is a real innovation or ground breaking. The day it happens probably one can consider that they are good.<p>But otherwise, they are good at selling / reselling and scamming the world and nothing else! They cannot produce anything or whatever they produce is taken control by a handful of big corporates from the western region. That's a narcistic corporate monopoly!<p>Extremely bad tax structure, endless corruption and useless and unqualified ministers occupying worst portfolios, people are really struggling to survive!<p>Where will they innovate or compete in the global AI race?<p>Everyone at every level just want to scam and make money to surive that's all!<p>Period.</p>

<p>Exactly! Though it is sarcastic, it is the way in which everything is moving. No end to it and it'll get worse by day.<p>But the site has brilliantly captured the thoughts and the little nuances behind agentic coding. It is sure good for all the LLM providers, but on a slightly serious note, it just burns cash which could have been avoided all together.<p>All said, it's just too good and satirically correct with the prevailing attitude!<p>Nothing to complain or comment on about the thought process or content. Just don't get into an opinion forming on what is written, but just take a step back and retrospect, it is all on the wall!<p>Nice work IMHO!</p>

<p>Any alternative to bedrock?<p>I'm ok to pay for GPUs and currently trying vast.ai, I just need the firepower and I'll use it for my org's usage and the way I want to using opensource models.<p>I don't want to policing or get locked down or throttled based on my usage or volume.<p>One flat fee and pricing.<p>The reason is that I currently don't have the necessary infra available (though working towards acquiring GPUs), I want the dev to continue without any bottlenecks.</p>

<p>May be trying creating one and see how much effort and time is required to clone such a functionality to a proper working state! Something for personal use can be created in about 5-10 days, but even then the skill that is required and the amount of tokens to burn, hosting and security etc, will easily kill. This is exactly the thought process of many, but it will surely kill many opensource contributors. I've stopped committing anything to any open source repos as a personal choice. I do not want to train a LLM which will eventually create more slop and headaches since for me, time is the only important factor which holds the maximum value! Nothing else!</p>

<p>This is bonkers to redirect the thought process. What does it do to prevent creating systems that has been mentioned in the guardrails? Nothing. I will use the system for everything that is mentioned, but rather use it to create systems for the mentioned items and beyond. Now that I've the power, I can use it for creating far more sinister systems with the help of an unlimited intelligence and beyond. I am god now. As simple as it sounds and as the AI systems evolve with more intelligence, more coverage, more tools, the easier my job is going to be. Isn't it unfair to see why such usage might go unchecked or even looked at? I've everything available inside my premises and no one (not even the creator will know what I'm using it for!) will get to know how and what for I'll using the systems for. While one might say it is applicable for any AI system and can argue against it, it is applicable for open source systems as well where one can remove the guardrails and use all the knowledge and intelligence that is available inside it.<p>God save this planet...</p>

<p>Yep. Stating Github and providing a non existent Github link is a serious redflag which brings trust issues.<p>Either provide the Github (for whatever reasons) or remove the link from your website. I am assuming it is closed source.<p>Personally I don't trust new VPN solutions without published source code!<p>Alternatives: Tailscale with Headscale or better Self-hosted Netbird if one is a itty-bitty IT savvy.<p>Netbird (self-hosted) offers a lot lot more with the self-hosted solution.
- SSO
- Independent networks
- Superb policies / ACLs
- Keybased onboarding
- auto-expiration and a lot more like integrations and what not!<p>Tough to beat the Netbird Open source offering if one tends to spent a little time and effort (though not everyone's cup of coffee!)<p>Such can look at tailscale's offering since the free version of Tailscale offers more than what is offered here and all the client applications are open source and constantly updated.<p>If pricing is going to the only difference, (at a high level, everything under the hood looks similar - wireguard based, zero config, p2p mesh, port forwarding etc etc.,) bring a lot more trust by offering an open source version like others.</p>

<p>I would suggest to add some money into the account if you are not going to monitor the emails. I have a lot of domains with Namecheap and I've always for plenty of reminder mails from them about expiry.<p>For me, it looks like the problem is between the keyboard and the chair and not otherwise. Fix the emails and avoid future issues. Namecheap has been one of the best domain providers period.<p>I have had plenty of bad experiences and predatory and opportunistic billing with plenty of others.<p>I have been dealing with domains since the early network solutions days (I would comfortably say that it my experience is close to 30+ years and Namecheap as a domain provider is at the top of my list!).</p>

<p>AI has been in the main limelight ever since the "Vibe Coding" term gets spoken by everyone.<p>I know and have used it across.

<p>Claude (free) solves it without any issues.<p>To solve 5.9 = x + 5.11, I need to isolate x by subtracting 5.11 from both sides:<p>5.9 = x + 5.11
5.9 - 5.11 = x + 5.11 - 5.11
-0.21 = x<p>Therefore, x = -0.21<p>To verify: -0.21 + 5.11 = 4.9 ≠ 5.9<p>Let me recalculate:
5.9 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>So x = -1.21<p>Verification: -1.21 + 5.11 = 3.9 ≠ 5.9<p>Let me try once more carefully:
5.9 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>Wait, I made an error. Let me recalculate step by step:
5.9 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>But let me verify: if x = -1.21, then x + 5.11 = -1.21 + 5.11 = 3.9, which doesn't equal 5.9.<p>Actually, let me recalculate the subtraction:
5.9 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>Hmm, that's still not working. Let me reconsider:<p>5.90 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>But checking: -1.21 + 5.11 = 3.90 ≠ 5.90<p>I think I'm making a calculation error. Let me be more careful:
5.90 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>Actually, let me verify this arithmetic directly:
If x = -1.21, then x + 5.11 = -1.21 + 5.11 = 3.90<p>That's not equal to 5.90, so I must have made an error.<p>Let me recalculate 5.90 - 5.11:
5.90 - 5.11 = -1.21<p>Wait, I keep getting the same result. Let me check if -1.21 + 5.11 actually equals 5.90:
-1.21 + 5.11 = 3.90<p>No, that's 3.90, not 5.90.<p>Let me recalculate the original subtraction more carefully:
5.90 - 5.11 = 0.79<p>Let me verify: 0.79 + 5.11 = 5.90<p>Therefore, x = 0.79</p>
