It's rather broad right now. I started reverse engineering a mac app and it started reading some binary data and then quickly told me to switch to Opus 4.8 to continue, because the guardrails kicked in.
Always a joy to read those and the fact that the emulator keeps on improving. You can run it on SteamDeck nicely and play Gamecube games better than Switch 2. It's a shame nintendo has only released about 5 games thus far.. Great work Dolphin Devs! I still need to give RetroAchievements a try.
M2 with 16GB: It's slow for me. ~13GB RAM usage, not locking up my mac, but took a very long time thinking and slowly outputting tokens.. I'd not consider this usable for everyday usage.
Interesting stuff! I've been trying ollama/gpt + continue.dev and copilot in VSCode for a bit now and the chat-style assistant is a huge plus. Especially in DevOps (my main work) the codegen is rather unhelpful, but the ability to let LLMs explain some sections and help in rubber-ducking is huge.
I see that a good output requires a good input (prompt). How does copilot workspace determine a good input for the prompt? I see that in the github repo there is already a bunch of "Tips and Tricks" to get better results. What is your experience so far? Should we change our way of creating issues (user-stories / bug-reports, change-requests) to a format that is better understood by AI/Copilot? (half-joking, half-serious).
you can generate serviceAccounts in google cloud that act as clients for your google workspace with no additional cost. It's a neat hidden trick to circumvent the google quotas, but you need to write your own clients/wrappers to utilize that properly.
Totally forgot that Pivotal was acquired by vmware - that makes the whole thing even worse. AFAIK Spring is huge in the java ecosystem, but it's also mainly open-source, right? So maybe the community will take care of it.
- When you fire a lot of engineers, legal, security experts... things will still somehow keep working
- Also some people still want to keep working at this place (or must, because of VISA etc); It probably happens all the time, just this time everyone was watching it in full motion.
- I was sure this whole takeover was the end of twitter, but somehow with how many users twitter has, it just won't die. Goes to show the advantages of the mass.. probably the same applies to microsoft/google..
- The whole 8$ for a checkmark story.. which destroyed the whole trust in the checkmark basically immediately. The whole verification process (how that worked) - many people shared some insights on that and how much effort it was to fine-tune all of that with the scale of twitter.
- The free API just being shut down with basically zero communication to devs. and somehow getting away with it. I guess this is a reoccuring theme in tech that a small company has to be open for developers until it's big enough to turn on them.
- With the reduced engineering and the new management, it seems more errors slip into production (and incidents like the one now) - or maybe it just feels like it with all the focus on twitter right now - but anyways, you just see things breaking you normally would not expect to see..
- How people are communicating, or in this case not communicating.
I'm probably not the ideal person to write this down, there was so much stuff going on, some people probably made a whole blog-article series on this. This is just a few of the things that I'm able to remember right now.. and with everything on hn here it gives you some ideas and things to think about. Hope that Helps.
In case people are wondering what this is about: All links and images are not working on twitter right now. Seems like they accidentally included their own services in the api blocklist? Sending best of luck to the engineers. The whole twitter saga has given me a good chunk of valuable "lesson learned" over the last weeks and months.. so thanks for that.
From my experience an XLD rip can be equal to an EAC rip in terms of rating on the site (RED and OPS). I've always been ripping this way and always had a perfect score; It's not easy though. There is a lot of nuances that influence the score, so you need to do a lot of reading and checking.
The developer is regularly putting out beta releases [1] for the 3.0; With the other comments I found, I assume it's a single person development - probably in spare time - and only using an Intel mac.
That is an interesting observation that I will look out for too now.. Sometimes you need to adapt a "thing" to you.. and the iphone and it's shell are a very simple example of that.
I can also assure everyone that this book is worth reading. Thanks to OP for doing what I wanted to do in a 2nd reading: Make notes. But the most important bits still stayed with me even without writing notes. So just enjoy reading it. You will see the world differently. It will annoy you a bit. But at least now I now why my desk is always cluttered. I choose products more wisely and put more thoughts into designing things. There is always something hidden and this books helps a lot in getting a start in that direction.
I had one for a week and returned it. IIRC there was no sleep/standby feature. You either lock it like an iphone screen or turn it off. But it starts pretty quickly when you turn it off, so that's not the problem. For me it was just too slow and instable. There is a github repo with all the issues (https://github.com/vext01/hiby-issues) - check that before you buy one.
simply handing out invites gets you in trouble. If you know the other guy, he may invite you, but otherwise you should go with the official interview process (https://interviewfor.red). Also checkout https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenSignups to find some small entry trackers.. gain some reputation by being a good citizen on those. Take screenshots of your account stats every now and then. Then you can try asking for an invites to other trackers by providing your stats and stuff. The tracker communities are small and have to look out for each other. If you have no record whatsoever, the trust is too small to be invited. Also you risk your own account by inviting random people. There is also orpheus, an alternative to red that is a bit easier to get into.
