Github Pages is free hosting with domains and ssl, no bills, and has good longevity and prospects. I don't want to worry or think about a static site, and big players like Github and Cloudflare seem to fit that best.

I believe he said Teslas are meant to appreciate in value too because you get income from renting them out when you're not using your car. They'll just drive around and work as a taxi while you're not using it.

He's more sci-fi author than CEO at this point.

Article should show the config:

[peers] 1 = host=/tmp/pgbouncer1 2 = host=/tmp/pgbouncer2 3 = host=/tmp/pgbouncer3 4 = host=/tmp/pgbouncer4

Is that from the popularity of evs, or from data centers?

If he deflates their revenues, who is going to rent the compute from Meta?

I'm not convinced wireheading the elderly is a good solution to their loneliness.

Plant patents incentivize the creation of disease resistant, tasty, and hardy varieties. If you remove the patents, you remove the incentive for private capital.

Capital to create new plants has to come from somewhere: public tax funding, grower-funded pools, or patent licensing. We do a mix of all three.

Essentially all commercial apple trees are grafted and don't reproduce true to seed. Been this way for almost a century now.

If Anthropic announced AGI tomorrow, how much better would that model be than Fable 5? It's looking like the road to AGI is gradual and moat-less. Models seem capable of improving other models, and even without illegal distillations many are nipping at the heels of Anthropic.

This is what concerns me about how AI giants are planning to make money. Their product has already been commoditized at prices which for them are still subsidized to grab market share. Unless the giants invent a technological leap, their prices are going to be dragged down by open weight models and I don't see how they'll turn a profit.

Were you taking hard tablets? And were you taking them with a fatty meal?

Those are both very important. I take a Vitamin D + K2 softgel with a meal that has some fat in it.

These ports make me question the creators a little. They chose the wrong language to begin with, and then used an LLM to try to fix their mistake.

The go to sleep issue is common and has nothing to do with your setup. I suspect it's because for the agent to predict the End of Response token, its response needs some kind of closing, and the most final kind of closing is something like "get some rest".

If I generate code with Claude, ChatGPT, and GLM 5.1, I can't say which model is which reliably. I exclusively use Claude more out of superstition than reason.

Do your running services receive streaming updates when Flags are toggled? Is your rule-engine evaluated locally?

Inference is cheap. I bet the financials of these Chinese companies are much saner looking than any of the big US AI companies which are bloated by investors.

I appreciate these types of discussions. We should talk about the ux of our tools more often.

My flow is exact pins always, Renovate/Dependabot to inform me of new versions, or uv tree --outdated.
