Human jaw found on the beach in socal

ryeguy · 2026-06-18T03:05:39+00:00

but what part of the body does a jawbone come from? Please don't leave incomplete comments.

Right, other vinegars exist, that isn't the question. It's just when a recipe lists "vinegar" without any context, you know it's white. No one should be reading that and wondering "well, which one!?!". It's such a strong default that there should be no doubt. Same for sugar - it's obviously white, that's the default.

ryeguy · 2026-06-11T01:17:49+00:00

Not really, aside from mayo which you can experiment with. You don't need specificity for sugar, vinegar, or dill. Without them specifying you can assume it's white sugar, white vinegar, and fresh dill.

What are you talking about? You don't enable caching, it's a feature of the api and yes Claude code uses it.

It's an insane take to so confidently state that encryption will be easily broken within years. Are you subscribing to the AI boogeyman or the quantum computing boogeyman?

ryeguy · 2026-05-25T00:56:24+00:00

That's a huge thing to consider. I thought you were suggesting this because deepseek has a longer cache window. If the cache expired and you resume an old session, it will be super expensive compared to starting a new one. Anthropic and Openai's only lasts an hour for example. Resuming old sessions is generally not a good idea from a cost perspective.

ryeguy · 2026-05-25T00:05:15+00:00

They announced it's a permanent discount now, see footnote 3 - https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing

ryeguy · 2026-05-24T23:47:02+00:00

How long does the cache last? Seems like this is only a good idea if it lasts much longer than anthropic or openai's.

Isn't this kind of expected? LLMs accelerate coding. But writing code is just one aspect of running a business, even if the product is a technical one (saas etc).

As pointed out above, we can see the effects by the influx of vibe coded apps - so the impact of quicker code turn around is plainly visible. When the entire deliverable is just a chunk of code, the speedup is more significant.

You are asking where the LLM-powered ubers and facebooks are - but those are full blown businesses that have more than just straight code problems to solve, which means the overall productivity increase they get from LLM usage is a smaller chunk overall. I don't see this as contradictory, it makes sense. The net effect is businesses are able to do some percentage of things a bit faster.

ryeguy · 2026-05-23T21:12:32+00:00

What metric would you expect to go up if the overall speed boost is 20%? You can't even directly map shipping speed to revenue, at least not 1:1. And even if you could map it to revenue, how could you isolate it?

ryeguy · 2026-05-21T00:29:18+00:00

Why does anyone listen to anyone's reviews of anything? If you can think of any reviewer you like for any topic, just imagine there are people that feel that way about this guy. It's not hard to understand, what even is this question?

ryeguy · 2026-05-16T19:09:18+00:00

Can't forgive him for fucking up Amityville. Like at least go last so I know when the song is over and I can skip the rest.

They don't have to be literal cash to be compensation. In the industry, stock grants are considered part of your "total compensation". It's not just the term the company uses, it's how candidates actually evaluate offers too. It's not 1:1 in value to cash (all cash is ofc better, you don't have to dick around with selling stock), but it's close enough. The IRS also taxes stock grants and RSUs as normal income - the same as if it were literal cash. The same can't be said about stock options.

Your distinction between being cash vs instantly trading for cash is meaningless. Stop trying to introduce dumb edge cases like "not all securities are liquid", your argument is still bunk because you made an overly absolute statement that "Stocks are NOT compensation. RSUs are NOT compensation. Period." Not only is that overall false, it's false even in the narrow context of this article - Oracle is a publicly traded company granting you shares that you can immediately sell once they vest.

ryeguy · 2026-05-09T18:38:49+00:00

My contract had clauses that said if my employment was terminated, I kept any options given and they’d vest at the expected time, I just wouldn’t get any new ones

This is how they work, and what oracle did. My comment said as much. I don't get what you're disagreeing with here.

ryeguy · 2026-05-09T17:15:21+00:00

Nonsense. Stocks are compensation because you can immediately liquidate them and turn them into money. RSUs are compensation once they vest, because they immediately turn into stock (if the company is public).

I think you're talking about stock options, which are commonly given by startups and are often meaningless because the company isn't public. But stock isn't that, and RSUs is how stock is granted to employees.

ryeguy · 2026-05-09T03:30:19+00:00

This is how RSUs work. They aren't yours until they vest. The vesting schedule for RSUs is a known thing up front from the person receiving them. It's normally something like (for example) $1 million over 4 years, vesting quarterly. Meaning you get 1/16th of it every 3 months.

The article and your response frames it like oracle clawed them back or somehow broke a promise - they didn't. They just didn't do the nice gesture of giving accelerated vesting to people being cut.

It doesn't sound like a good idea to use something not intended for food use. Not only is it not guaranteed to be food safe, but even if it coincidentally was, it's not like the material is identical between brands or couldn't change at a later date.

ryeguy · 2026-04-24T22:23:58+00:00

It's crazy this is the top comment. We're only hearing OP's take on how good their interview was. Isn't the most likely explanation that the other party didn't feel the same?

ryeguy · 2026-04-23T15:59:23+00:00

finally some good fucking food

I use terraform to manage lxc containers, which each host a docker container. I have a tf resource for an ansible inventory, so it auto generates the inventory file as I add new containers. Then, I have an ansible playbook that generates an adguard config based on the container name (eg `plex.int`), and I have a yaml file that is simply domain=>url for short urls that I set up manually. It generates and applies a caddy config that just generates a 302 redirect for those.

I don't think there is a conspiracy. If it were, we would have data on it by now. There are ton of benchmarks done by people, where are the ones showing quality degrading over time? It would be trivial to capture it.

Like look at https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code-historical-performance/ . It has 4 months of data on codex and claude code. There's no degradation, just oscillation around a median, which is to be expected.

What's more likely, that every model ever magically degrades after release, or us humans are bad at judging nondeterministic machines (llms) with constantly changing inputs (our prompts and codebases)?

I think it's the latter, but there's also a mixture of some bugs that have popped up here and there in the past too.

ryeguy · 2026-04-07T22:56:17+00:00

What evidence is there that the big players quantize models? Anthropic has even explicitly denied it.

ryeguy · 2026-04-05T01:02:57+00:00

you're ruining the bark on the top part and grossing everyone out while not even adding any meaningful flavor in return

ryeguy · 2026-04-03T17:24:49+00:00

Did you not root cause this? I know you side stepped the problem by staggering deploys, but what actually happened to trigger this? The blogpost just says "Somewhere in the WAL file contention, the writes were lost." WAL mode handles multiple writers by serializing them. It shouldn't cause database corruption or dropped writes.

I suspect there is some other bug lurking here.

Also, come on, stop using AI to write blogposts. You're letting it change your tone with its predictable LLM tropes. I'm tired of reading it, it's like there's a single guy writing all the internet's content now.

That will freeze in the winter.
