I don't self host anymore, as it really is a pain, but use Fastmail instead (while my wife uses Protonmail). I would never rely on Google for, well, anything if I can help it.

I think an interesting side of this conversation is how the Google employees are jumping in with DARVO attacks, trying to accuse people of spreading misinformation when they're literally quoting the ToS.

This is something I've seen happen a lot with Google- their employees (especially the director+ folks) are absolutely rabid on social media when it comes to defending their products, and they don't let little things like "facts" get in the way.

Google needs to get a better social media policy because they look like clowns when they do this.

There are a ton of advantages to using uv over pip. I don't use UV because it's faster, although I do appreciate that. I use it because it's smart enough to manage virtual environments for each environment and tool, it can isolate to different python versions trivially, and it handles locking in a way that is actual sane.

Seriously, even as well paid as many devs are these are not machines that are affordable for personal use. Their market is people slapping down millions on frontier model training.

>Indeed, the broad backlash against Flock has grown so strong that the surveillance company last week announced mandatory new audit controls and lower default data retention periods for US users.

I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't call out how much bullshit was in that statement. They are just changing the default settings for new customers. That's it. All the deployed cameras remain the same, and new customers can just toggle those settings off of the defaults. It is so obvious that they were attempting to get credit for doing nothing, and reporters should call that out.

This, like all of their dashboards, is complete bullshit. As a GitHub enterprise user i am absolutely affected by the outage today, and have been affected by all of the GitHub Cloud outages.

There is no separate enterprise platform unless you buy their self hosted server product.

Their CISO literally acknowledged it and then they all continued ignoring it again. This isn't just bad process, this is a broken security organization.

New comment by tedivm in "Dependabot version updates introduce default package cooldown"

tedivm — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:53:35 +0000

Most automated analysis isn't dependent on just behavior, but rather suspicious things in the code itself. You have a popular open source package with files that exist on pypi but not github then that's a big flag, or if a similar package suddenly has some base64encoded garbage that runs through an obfuscated exec call. In other words the simple fact that the project has obfuscated code is enough to flag for further attention.

That said if the only issue is time, researchers will just run their automated analysis through machines with dates in the future alongside their normal tests.

Yup, this is one of the many reasons why I prefer OpenCode as my agentic harness of choice. If I'm confused about something I can just read the source code.

The courts have never said piracy, which is how the training sets were originally built, is legal. There are several court cases still ongoing over this.

New comment by tedivm in "Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development"

tedivm — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:40:02 +0000

More memory means less aggressive quantization, more concurrent requests, and larger context windows. I also get a boost in tokens per second (not double, about 1.5x compared to a single GPU).

The 35B model is an MoE (mixture of experts), which uses only a subset of parameters at a time. The 27b one is slower but has way better performance.

No, I use Qwen3.6 27b for everything.

tedivm — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:17:31 +0000

I have a Linux box with two 3090s and it's been great for running Qwen3.6 27b. I lowered the power on each card down to 250w, and then built a small ducting/fan system to vent the waste heat outside. The machine is pretty much silent, and I'm still getting 110 tokens per second out of it for coding tasks.

tedivm — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:38:16 +0000

This is just not true. There have been leaks due to micrometers in just about every section of the ship at one point or another. A quick search pulls up examples of US modules having issues, especially around interfaces and seals. NASA had a whole investigation between 2018 and 2021 about the recurring issue.

So you both used Anthropic models (Opus 4.7 being from Anthropic)? I'm struggling to understand what your comparison really was here.

Frankly the non-profit has failed. OpenAI is one of the least open of the AI companies (Anthropic is a bit worse). If it wasn't for the labs in China the dream of an actual open ai system would be dead.

New comment by tedivm in "Bun support is now limited and deprecated"

tedivm — Fri, 22 May 2026 18:59:02 +0000

They literally threw out every line of code that existed before and rewrote it in a completely different language, seemingly on a whim. That's how it was trashed, in the very literal sense that all of the existing project was tossed in the trash in favor of a completely brand new code base. That's a big deal even if you ignore the coding agent aspects.
