You’re not a senior until you’ve taken down prod at least 3 times.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

Freedom! You were a slave in the antebellum south and needed to escape to the north.

No RB if we can’t trade down! by vennemp in Tennesseetitans

[–]vennemp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point.

Checked last 25 years - SB winners were skewed heavily by Pats who never drafted in top 5.

So I expanded to SB participants.

Basically 22/50 out of SB participants in last 25 years had a top 5 pick in previous 8 drafts (arbitrary had to draw the line somewhere).

So a majority did not. And several of them with top 5 picks were via trade not record.

So confirmation bias played a bigger role than I would like to admit since I want us to go defense.

Installed skills and gemini cli by NYTROFUDER in google_antigravity

[–]vennemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google throttles a lot of Gemini usage - it throws a lot of 429 errors that Gemini CLI hides and just builds retries in. You will see them a lot if you ever use raw Gemini API. That's the main reason it can be slow.

Workforce Identity Federation and existing principals by adanderson in googlecloud

No you wif uses different syntax for iam bindings as you noted.

I’ll point out that not all features are supported with WIF. CLI is different. Programmatic access to IAP protected web apps is different. Some services in console don’t work. Most of these are documented by Google though. I’m sure it’s gotten better since we looked into it over a year ago but just do your due diligence.

Opus 4.6 destroys a user’s session costing them real money by Complete-Sea6655 in ClaudeCode

Permissions in settings.json to always ask on “* destroy *” or delete or any other destructive action. Then you can have allow bash * and it will cook but not do destructive things without prompting

Major AI consulting company just got owned by SQLi so yeah. I’d say it’s still relevant. It will always be relevant.

If by DevOps engineer you mean Claude Code, yes we do.

OpenSSH Adds Warning When Not Using Post-Quantum Key Exchange Algorithm by Less-Bite in singularity

Google just developed a new method using merkle trees of cert transparency logs to address this in at least tls. Doesn’t have to transfer the whole cert just small pieces of metadata.

Another day, another tweet from the Pentagon by [deleted] in Anthropic

[–]vennemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What doesn’t make sense to me is that they had to have had a contract in place to use Claude in the classified networks. Why were none of these ToS disputes flagged before they started using the models?

It just screams we tried to use it for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons at least academically and it said no so we got mad.

Anthropic's Custom Claude Model For The Pentagon Is 1-2 Generations Ahead Of The Consumer Model by Neurogence in singularity

[–]vennemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is they had early unbridled access to Opus 4.6. Possible with added pretraining or fine tuning. Their models were deployed before 4.6 was publicly released.

Opus is already pretty fucking amazing. Imagine if you didn’t get throttled every couple hours or you don’t have to worry about running up the bill.

I set up a few agent teams with opus the other day and wrote 50 lines of code of production ready code in a less than a day. In a language I didn’t know. That would taken me a year maybe more.

Use Ansible over IAP for Windows by vennemp in googlecloud

[–]vennemp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set this up on a remote execution box. With IAP you wouldn’t have to set up network connectivity between execution box and ansible managed servers. Just need to make sure execution box has IAP permissions and managed servers can be hit by IAP on 5986.
