Laravel cut server provisioning from 15+ minutes to seconds with DigitalOcean. ⚡☁️🤝
@laravelphp VPS runs entirely on DigitalOcean infrastructure. Pre-warmed Droplets, zero third-party config, and production-ready the moment you click create.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

I keep realizing things flip so fast in AI you really can't predict who will win or lose
Claude Code was leading for every dev, Anthropic were the good guys, OpenAI were becoming the bad guys buying up all the RAM
I even switched from ChatGPT considering how ugly I felt the Times New Roman style serif font was
Then OpenClaw shows up, becomes the most popular project since the new AI wave and instead of celebrating it, Anthropic decides to DMCA @steipete, this annoys him and he starts (or continues?) to promote OpenAI's Codex instead of Claude Code
Then @sama and @finkd try to buy him and he goes with OpenAI and that's it and now OpenAI owns the narrative again
Apparemment je vois la plus part parler de trauma, dépression (etc.) au cours de cette année 2024.
Je souhaite à toutes et tous une meilleure année 2025! Je vous souhaite de trouver le bonheur et la force d’affronter toutes difficultés. Une bien belle saison s’annonce.
Tout ce qui vous semblait presque impossible à réaliser, le devient naturellement au moment venu. Quand est ce que je pourrais réunir autant de millions pour m'acheter une voiture? Et un jour vous l'achetez sans vous en rendre compte.
Trust the process.
How to scale a website to support millions of users? We will explain this step-by-step.
The diagram below illustrates the evolution of a simplified eCommerce website. It goes from a monolithic design on one single server, to a service-oriented/microservice architecture.
Suppose we have two services: inventory service (handles product descriptions and inventory management) and user service (handles user information, registration, login, etc.).
Step 1 - With the growth of the user base, one single application server cannot handle the traffic anymore. We put the application server and the database server into two separate servers.
Step 2 - The business continues to grow, and a single application server is no longer enough. So we deploy a cluster of application servers.
Step 3 - Now the incoming requests have to be routed to multiple application servers, how can we ensure each application server gets an even load? The load balancer handles this nicely.
Step 4 - With the business continuing to grow, the database might become the bottleneck. To mitigate this, we separate reads and writes in a way that frequent read queries go to read replicas. With this setup, the throughput for the database writes can be greatly increased.
Step 5 - Suppose the business continues to grow. One single database cannot handle the load on both the inventory table and user table. We have a few options:
1. Vertical partition. Adding more power (CPU, RAM, etc.) to the database server. It has a hard limit.
2. Horizontal partition by adding more database servers.
3. Adding a caching layer to offload read requests.
Step 6 - Now we can modularize the functions into different services. The architecture becomes service-oriented / microservice.
Question: what else do we need to support an e-commerce website at Amazon’s scale?
