so group B doesn’t use frameworks but prefers making things according to a model? What’s a model here? I’m not following

IME some people (at least the ones who care) start more critical repos with good intentions, enabling most of these things.

But then comes a time where a hotfix must be merged asap to production and there’s no one to review it for 3 days; branch protection gets disabled.

or an update in the code quality tooling detects an additional dozen warnings without the codebase changing; check enforcement gets disabled.

I think in most cases this is completely fine. Whoever is already a contributor should know what’s the team policy merging things, and having ways to occasionally bypass these checks can be more beneficial than not.

dont tell me what to do

it’s an h100, I think, no idea about how many users

in my personal setup i use quantized versions on a 3080, which is not great, so I still lean a lot on APIs

they do

Qwen 3.6 and gemma4 models are the only ones usable for agentic prog sessions that I and my employer run locally. It’s less stable and slower than third-party services, even on much better hardware (as it’s with my employer). The best way is to go with a provider hosting deepseek flash/pro if your privacy policy allows though. It’s going to be hard to beat their price.

is that a bundle, or are you rally paying like $0.50 a month for a VPS?

will someone please think of the retention numbers

a measure that will actually help protecting kids? Not on their watch

ha, even if it was true - which isn’t - that would never hurt the stock, the stock market is soulless

Right. But that was from a time where it was your friends and family who had your number, so having to change it was a major hassle not only for you. With it being asked by so many services, that’s eventually ending up in the dark web.

Many people don’t call anymore. A similar group blocks all calls from unknown numbers due to constant robocalls. So a phone number today is just another data point to fingerprint someone. Its usefulness turned into an artificially created need by services that want a cheap way to tell real users from robots.

yeah, phone numbers have been used primarily to fight spam and fake accounts, so my guess is that this practice will become even more common with stricter policies around phone number registration. I hate it.

This basically turns phone numbers into a deregulated government ID number. You’d think they had learned something with SSNs by now.

Some taxi companies use third-party Uber-like apps to connect to riders, the bigger ones might have their own apps, but my guess is that those also ask for a phone number.

The best way might just be hailing one off the street.

afaict they just run the LSP automatically when the agent uses the file edit tool, passing errors/warnings as a response of the tool. Maybe they run it before and after to get only the warnings introduced after the change, maybe they filter by the lines changed, I’m not sure.

I’m not even sure it does work. Prime only tried trivial packages, but based on my experience with agentic coding, I’m not convinced they’re able to deliver a fully functional package of medium size while being truly clean room.

Also, there’s an anecdotal comment on youtube of someone who tried this (on a small package) and they mention the clean room was violated (the AI added implementation instructions to the documentation), had performance issues, and the best part, the generated code had an MIT license. Now I wish Prime had looked at the LICENSE files created.

at least that one still requires you to be familiar with a work of fiction

it ends when whoever buys their services realizes they’re spending more with duct tape around generated code than just by using an open source library and giving credit

because it does mean evil, the words share the same root

I thought that would be too on-the-nose, but people really fail to see that apparently

Ok, let’s think this through. Whoever “hires” them ends with a legally questionable codebase to say the least, that has worst architecture and performance than its open source counterpart, while also being unmaintainable and likely costing more to fix than building something the right way in the first place.

So they’re taking money from people trying to do this shit? Great.

It’s satirical
