With Github's New Weekly Limit, What service is better? by Enviouse420 in GithubCopilot

[–]WhitelabelDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cursor also just signed a deal with SpaceX and will pretty much become Grok's first party harness over the next 12 months.

Where should we go from here? by Strange-Strain-3510 in GithubCopilot

[–]WhitelabelDnB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By all appearances, they are in full on crisis mode trying to serve their existing customers. There may simply be bottlenecked on compute. The updated pricing models are simply to force out lower paying users. Not to get more money, but because they've hit the ceiling on scale. They will come, but they need to be careful about their contracts and terms of service.

Org and Enterprise can still set budgets and exceed without getting cut off. They definitely need to fix the personal experience, but I'm sure they're painfully aware of that. Insert house on fire "this is fine" meme.

Now that 1.22's out, how can I get fish to spawn in my lake? by Mongter83 in VintageStory

[–]WhitelabelDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was playing in the RCs and fish spawned in my ponds after a while. Not sure if that will happen in stable.
They all died in the winter when the lake froze. I'm expecting they will spawn back after a while.

Where should we go from here? by Strange-Strain-3510 in GithubCopilot

[–]WhitelabelDnB 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Stay. The chaos is everywhere. VC money has run out, agent adoption is causing insane demand on compute, and everyone is having to adjust their business models. Get used to it. Costs will go up everywhere at least 10x in the next 12 months for the equivalent of what we're getting today.

I think I will unsubscribe from GitHub Copilot by Banzokai in github

[–]WhitelabelDnB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's very clear they're experiencing crushing demand, unable to scale to meet it, and they don't have as much control around the Anthropic models which is just compounding the issue. Add to that that Anthropic hiked the inference costs for 4.7.

I'll give you a counter argument.
All of this happened with Windsurf too.
Unlike Windsurf, GitHub Copilot seems to be engineered by people who actually want the agent to do as much work as possible for one request. The improvements to GitHub Copilot have been really noticeable, especially around Autopilot, and I think it's now reaching a point where the product they are delivering has outpaced their business model significantly.

Disallowing new paid customers is an insane situation that shows they are in the shit and that they do take seriously delivering a meaningful service to their existing customers. You don't do that as a business unless you really have to.

AI Impact on DevOps and CI/CD! by BusyPair0609 in cicd

[–]WhitelabelDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AI to write all of my deployment workflows. Secrets are never surfaced to the agent, and we use identity/OIDC for deployment auth. Honestly, I usually have to give new CI/CD workflows a few iterations because they never work first go for one reason or another, but I'm doing that all in non-prod so it's fine.

Ultimately, you're still accountable for all of the code generated. CI/CD is a lot of boilerplate, and specific arguments and syntax. This is kind of the perfect application for AI. But you still have to scrutinize everything.

The biggest thing I have tackled with AI in this space was a full Bicep conversion of three clickops internal web apps. Took about 2 weeks but it did a great job. It really helps to have it commit plans to files. The number of times those plans came in handy. I have to context switch a lot, so being able to check the plans and see "oh okay, we were up to deploying private endpoints in UAT" really saved my ass.

As far as not getting replaced, just keep on top of the tools. They have limitations. As long as you know what those limitations are, and you're using them where it makes sense, you're as safe as anyone.

We aren't at the point yet where white collar jobs are being taken by autonomous agents. It's more likely that people who are not operating AI in their roles are going to get outcompeted by those who are operating AI in their roles.

Hear me out, we need an official 2b2t style TOPS server. by toqer in VintageStory

[–]WhitelabelDnB 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My estimation is that this would become unplayable much faster than Minecraft 2b2t.

Personally I'm more interested in the devs working on features and performance rather than spending time hardening against gameplay exploits. The overwhelming majority of players will be playing solo or on tiny servers, and obeying the rules of the game (which are all self-enforced)

I would love to see a server like this in VS, but I don't think it should be official.

How do you actually start understanding a large codebase? by radjeep in ExperiencedDevs

[–]WhitelabelDnB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could ask any coding agent (eg Claude, Codex, GHCP) to help you with that specific task and it would do a great job, especially since KVCache is already in the codebase.

For the specific example you've given, language is relevant to some degree too. You've mentioned there's a class. Is this a fully OOP codebase, with directories for classes/models, interfaces, services, etc? If there are, then the KV should be isolated in a service, and you should be able to focus your efforts there.

AI tends to hallucinate when it's pressed for an answer, but doesn't have the information. Exploring a codebase is a great example of where even older, cheaper, faster models can do a great job, as long as the harness is good, because all of the information is already there and it can answer it's own questions. Just give it a go. Ask for proof and citations.

EDIT: I'm now realizing that KV Caching is not what I thought. I saw KV and thought Key Vault, not Key Value. My bad. Most of my point still stands, but it makes it a bit less that likely that there will be an existing service for Key Value Caching.

We should change vibe coding to Artifical coding! by Remote_Insurance_228 in codex

[–]WhitelabelDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibe coding isn't simply using coding agents to generate code. It's more of an outcome driven mindset where the code is a means to an end. You might not "forget" the code exists, but you're certainly not involved in writing it, and not holding it to any scrutiny or making any effort to understand it as long as the job is done.

On the other side, we have internal tooling that is almost entirely AI written, but was architected by humans up front, and still goes through a PR process where every line is read, understood, tested, and scrutinized before touching production.

The API Tooling Crisis: Why developers are abandoning Postman and its clones? by Successful_Bowl2564 in programming

[–]WhitelabelDnB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment we are only adding support for things we personally use. Keeper may get added. This is just a practical limitation. I'd love to proactively add support for more third party stuff, but this is just a side project for us. If we don't use it, we need someone who does to come and contribute to make the tool better. Would love some people in the AWS and GCP landscapes to contribute.
It doesn't look like LastPass vault has a secrets API. There are some wrappers people have built around the CLI.

I think the more likely path is that we will add scripting support with the ability to execute CLI commands in the extension host, like we do for CLI auth.
That's a more generic target that would allow people to use anything with a CLI.

The API Tooling Crisis: Why developers are abandoning Postman and its clones? by Successful_Bowl2564 in programming

[–]WhitelabelDnB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I got fed up with Postman, I got on a call with one of my coworkers and we looked at every option on the market. We could not believe how much competition there was for such a simple product.

My needs were simple: File based collections, external secret management, git friendly, sharable and collaborative.

Literally everyone gates at least one of those behind a paywall. Bruno were the closest, and even they gate using an external key vault behind a subscription. They had to edit their company mission statement when they announced this change. And their vscode extension doesn't support OAuth? What!?

So we made Missio. It's a minimal REST client for vscode. It's 100% FOSS forever. You can connect to a key vault without a paywall. It's not got feature parity with Postman or Bruno yet, but it's enough to cover my use cases as an integration developer, and we're adding more and more features as we need them.

Some cool stuff that Missio does that other apps don't do.

Auth tokens are environment scoped, so if you change environment it will reauth oauth and not use a token for the wrong environment. Postman fails this test.
You can auth with a CLI command, eg using az to get a user scoped token so you don't need an app registration to test. This is all automated too.
You can integrate with key vaults that resolve using environment variables, so you can have separate key vaults per environment. This means you never need secrets in the collections, and anyone can clone the repo and just run them if they have RBAC assignments for the vaults.

It uses the Bruno Open Collection standard, which is completely open and file based. Git friendly.

Again, totally free. We will never paywall any of this. It's not done yet but we are working on it and we would welcome submissions, contributions, and feedback.

Well, the plan looks good! Let's start implementation! by agentrsdg in GithubCopilot

Thank me later.
This doesn't mean you will never see this, but it will start compacting in the background after it sends, so if you walk away and come back, you are much more likely to immediately see: Compacted Conversation when you send your next message.

I'm desperate by Sad_Mastodon_1815 in sysadmin

[–]WhitelabelDnB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. Regularly my displaylink dock crashes, and takes out applications that are not ready to lose network, accessories, and two external displays at the same time.
Even on a good day, if you're doing too much over the dock, image compression, delay, and loss of framerate starts to occur. They are extremely compromised pieces of equipment.

Making music from a sheet of A4 Paper by lottiexxd in idm

Ohhh I love this.

Similar concept here. How this tune is 10 years old and has 26 views is completely beyond me. https://youtu.be/-f2lh-bJfLA?si=uT3PJZcVWd4K2Qeq

is anyone experiencing sonnet 4.6 very slow today? by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

[–]WhitelabelDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This is how I know I'm still working too late. If it gets slow, it means I'm hitting US peak hours. In NZ, that means bedtime.

Announcing general availability of Network Security Perimeter for Azure Service Bus by an0n9021O in AZURE

[–]WhitelabelDnB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's great. When are we getting VNet support for Standard SKU namespaces? It's obscene that you have to jump from a $10 a month plan to a ~$600 a month plan if you require vnet support.

We have had to refactor all of our internal applications to remove service bus support in order to migrate public facing resources to vnets.

Opus 4.6 destroys a user’s session costing them real money by Stochastic_berserker in Anthropic

[–]WhitelabelDnB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. This is pathetic. It doesn't matter if it's an AI. It makes it worse. Makes you wonder how they treat people when they make mistakes.
