@avrldotdev Whitelisting is pragmatic and easy to change, bad rejection.
Ask for more complex solutions after that answer and specify the need of it.

@rfleury I thought of your article as I read her post!

US - Fable 5, GPT5.6, Grok 4.5, and much more coming
China - open source leader, DeepSeek V4, GLM 5.2, 3T models coming soon
EU (self proclaimed bastion of democracy) - we are now spying on you, and we did it in the most undemocratic way possible!

I feel shame at my nationality

Remember that with the web there was the same story. The WWW was invented in Europe. The open source stack that created a true revolution of startups was massively based in Europe. Yet all the value was mostly captured in the US. Now it is worse than in the web case.

Modern AI resulted from research made also by many non-US scientists (Hinton, the French folks, Linnainmaa, many others). The pre-training corpus was produced worldwide with massive code contribution from Europe OSS. What is happening with frontier LLMs is unacceptable.

I would like to thank Zed A. Shaw @lzsthw for opening my eyes on the fact that programming at large is viewed exclusively as an activity subservient to corporations. This explains all the weird criticism I've been getting about doing programming recreationally. Thank you Mr Shaw!

@ali_alimoff Followed.
Found you through that old reddit post about some folks deleting content from their platform in a not cool nor informing way ;)

Thanks for trying to build something nice yourself

The Linux kernel AI guidelines are the first sane that I read. It is not a coincidence. Where high level work is done, high level work is pretended, regardless of the tools. https://t.co/yMqJZtOBU1

Modern DRAM is based on a brilliant design from IBM.

But, we're still paying for a latency penalty that's existed since the 60s!

In this video, I'm introducing my research project (Tailslayer) that immensely reduces p99.99 latency on traditional RAM!

By implementing a hedged read strategy taking advantage of (undocumented!) channel scrambling offsets, I've gotten as much as 15x reductions in tail latency.

The technique works across Intel, AMD, Graviton, DDR4, DDR5, x86, ARM, you name it.

Check out the C++ lib I wrote, watch the video, and try it yourself!

Fun fact: Bill yelled this out loud at my face during BSC 2025, which is how my life ended up like this.

@_trish_xD It seems to me that most web applications are really simple CRUD apps, with _maybe_ some complex data to handle, and vanilla js is more than enough for that kind of stuff.

@wokesalaryman Unfortunately I've seen many older colleagues being more hostile and excluding younger peers than trying to build a team.
