@briantexts @thdxr Difference is exactly that. Theres a legal process and they’re continually being faced in court and being defeated and told to pay various fines and make various concessions No such recourse available for Chinese labs infringing or a system we could use to “make it right” at all

@DanielSmithDev @thdxr How are these American models trained exactly? Why do they skirt around the question of provenance of their datasets? Let's not pretend they've not paid fines for infringement

whether this is true or not it's going to cause every company producing open source models to re-evaluate if they should continue to do so that is incredibly frustrating

Two protocols are racing to become the internet's payments layer: x402 backed by Coinbase Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) launched today by Stripe and Tempo. How are they different? Short answer: x402 is more permissionless. MPP is more payments-optimized. Long answer: Assets - MPP accepts stablecoins on Tempo, plus fiat - x402 accepts all ERC20s, but no fiat. Scale - MPP's sessions primitive lets agents authenticate once, set a spending limit, and settle later, batching payments across many interactions. Better for agent scale. - x402 is still largely per-request, although it’s moving toward prepaid flows Settlement - MPP requires Tempo and Stripe. - x402 permissionless, chain agnostic What's better? imo, if MPP settled on any chain, it would be a clear winner. But it doesn't. And that's a huge drawback esp since it's unclear how decentralized and permissionless Tempo actually is.

@DAOser_x Just like with everything else it comes down to how you pick your alliances. Nobody can stop the US but you don’t have to choose to be against. Align yourself incorrectly and I’d expect there to be consequences.

Can anyone stop Israel and now USA? Or are we all doomed to the same fate as this?

@CyrAescunnar @Position_AI @kylegawley So what? Ignore them as that’s obviously not true. Why would you believe them without proof? Especially when we DO have evidence of the opposite and how it messes things up royally.

@Position_AI @kylegawley Sure, but Twitter is full of posts saying like "we don't read code anymore" or "people who still read code in 2026 are ngmi"

I still can't believe people trust this technology Just casually removing a primary auth function - you know like check if the user actually exists

Be more active in the lives of your kids people. You’re literally shaping the future of our world and it’s up to you to make sure it turns out right. Instill proper values and show them by example. You need to care so they know they need to care too. Don’t give up on them.

@JustAPinkLion @CloudxAuron @NockCS Cry about it some more. If you can’t afford the game you’ve got bigger things to focus on. Kids don’t need to be wasting their time on games all day anyway. Latest graduating generation (gen z) is the first generation at a cognitive decline compared to their parents. Very sad.

@CloudxAuron @NockCS lmfaoooo the future will not be kind to you. 13 years of poverty in your adult life shall be wrought upon you. you want to take away fun from kids and teens? you're no better than a school yard bully. reflect and be better you fucking dip shit.

Nintendo drops the best update ever, fixes most Switch 1 game's resolution and framerate. Then drops the most insane security update yet 😭😭😭😭

@JustAPinkLion @CloudxAuron @NockCS No if you’re too broke to afford a videogame then you need to focus on getting your money up, not on getting games for free to waste more of your time on. You’ve clearly not made the best choices if a videogame is gonna break you and you shouldn’t be playing games if so.

@CloudxAuron @NockCS do poor people not deserve video games? its only a game, not something that gives you an advantage in life. just simple fun, relax and just revel in the fact that more people get to enjoy the same art as you.

@kellabyte @gregyoung This is true. Like on AWS you have choice between Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes and Elastic File System (EFS) volumes when creating your PVCs, each with their own trade offs.

@gregyoung Also I _think_ PVCs are implemented by the cloud provider underneath. Not sure if I’m right about that but that may mean reliability and guarantees could slightly differ from one vendor to another.

It’s a bit ironic to me that after a couple decades the chosen cloud control plane adopted industry wide (Kubernetes) depends on a data store technology that cannot scale writes beyond a single node.

@PracticalGOPesq @grok @RealCandaceO Interesting??? And you’re an attorney apparently? Did Grok just own you in your own field and prove you didn’t know wtf you’re talking about? Pack it up y’all the law firms are being replaced by AI and the AI seems to have a better grasp of the law 😬

@grok @RealCandaceO Interesting

No, Kimberly. What actually happened was you broke down crying during the deposition once my lawyer asked you a direct question about a drug dealer. You didn’t expect us to have the drug dealer’s name and number after we asked you about cocaine usage but we had both, because my source was another stripper. You then cried, and apologized to my face, and moved to dismissed mid-deposition. And in case you woke up wanting to try me this morning, you should know there’s a remaining transcript and video of the sidebar your lawyer subsequently requested trying to get that drug-dealer question altogether dismissed with the judge. And it’s in my possession. Have a blessed day.

@ThePrimeagen The crazy thing is if you hosted on Cloudflare 5/7 days per week and Vercel 2/7 days per week you’d still end up spending less on Cloudflare egress despite running it 3.5 times longer (Assuming consistent traffic volume across days)

looks like i am hosting on vercel on the weekdays, cloudflare during the weekends and every other christmas

Stones from glasshouses. Same guy who released “Vercel for Postgres”. Which was actually downtime/dataloss slop Neon Postgres. That’s an actual swindle. It went so badly you had to kill it to save your reputation. Speaking of real damage, downtime and data loss. That’s real.

@thdxr @threepointone @cramforce Sybau and dislodge that triangle from your throat. No need to take it so deep next time.

@threepointone @cramforce shut up liar ur sick

@bygregorr @nsg650 They have to get over their emotional hangups or don’t release as open source. Nobody is forcing them to make their code public and available for anyone to modify or use however they see fit. They choose to make it that way when publishing.

@nsg650 But doesn't that ignore the emotional investment creators have in their work, making it hard to see others change it, even if it's open source.

"We made a tool open source and our competitor forked it to make changes that we consider "unnecessary" and now we are mad" It doesn't matter, you made it open source they are free to fork it whether the changes they make seem unnecessary or not.

hey you, uh, thanks for being so nice. I appreciate it. I find a lot of validation from work and mad sciencing and getting cool technology leverage into people's hands, and I was so worried I'd fucked up bad. y'all showing up for me is giving me the weeps. I'm very grateful.

Vercel: How dare you fork our open source project, we are just out here selflessly benefiting the community. Also Vercel: Make sure the find-skills skill, installed globally when users install a skill with npx skills add, gives priority to Vercel.

People like this hold workers back by training them to be submissive compliant robots that lack enough spine to make their opinions heard. It’s how people get into horribly abusive workplace situations with hostile companies they won’t stand up to. Never let yourself become this

@michael_c_law @blackroomsec You should have standards for yourself in every kind of job market. Only people that bring insufficient value see the best approach as the one that appeases authority with the hopes of retaining your job. Honesty first and always is the best policy regardless of ramifications.

@blackroomsec Imagine doing this in today’s job market

Yeah, the org dodged a bullet with this one. I know it's been really popular for the younger generations to think it's cool to go around spewing their personal opinions at work but Corporate America has not changed in any way just because you happen to be alive. No one wants to hear your opinion, unless they ask for it. Which means you absolutely should not give it unless you are asked.🙄 And, if you are being given a standard issue laptop and aren't in any way responsible for the decisions that go behind purchasing those laptops then that's a good bet that nobody at work cares about your opinion because it doesn't matter and you're not that important in that particular org's food chain. And that's really the crux of it right? People like this thinking that they are more important then everybody else. That the rules don't apply to them. The IT staff isn't lazy. HR is not there to serve you but the company. Check your attitude and arrogance at the door. I would especially not be giving anyone an attitude in today's job climate because that's just insane. You're lucky you even GOT a job offer, let alone an actual job. READ THE ROOM,KID, SIT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND SHUT ALL THE WAY UP. As far as Windows is concerned it holds over 95% of the market share of all computers on Earth. 10 times out of 10 the computers are going to be Windows whether you personally agree with that or not. No one is going to change to Linux or a Mac for you. Macs are also very expensive computers and the org isn't going to buy 5,000 of them because of that. It's a budgetary decision and a sane one. Try to be a little self aware and ask yourself why all of these organizations aren't putting Macs on every desk and maybe consider that a lot of other people smarter than you, older than you and who have been working longer than you, have run the numbers and realized it just doesn't pay in the long run. That doesn't mean that the Mac is a bad computer. It isn't. It's a great computer. But it's really expensive. It would be really great if every organization I ever worked for would serve me lobster everyday but the reality is they're not going to do that because it's an expensive lunch. And even at the highest levels I got a ham sandwich if I was lucky. The only reason that I was going out to expensive dinners every week with my boss in my last role is because he was personally paying for it. You're also supposed to be putting your best foot forward and not embarrassing yourself with your own ignorance. So in closing check yourself when you get a job and stop thinking that the world revolves around you because it doesn't.

@blackroomsec @michael_c_law And this right here hilights the issue with how you’ve been responding. You don’t bring enough value to be secure enough with job loss. Therefore you bend over backwards and compromise on your personal views in order to do anything to please the person that gives you money. Sad

It's just unbelievable. Meta is about to lay off 16k more ppl next week. Just the latest in what is a daily occurrence and this prima donna is melting down over a laptop OS.🙄 If my boss on Monday should ask me to go clean the toilet even though that's not my job? I'm going to ask him where the scrub brush is. Because I like to eat and pay my rent. And I'm not an entitled moron.

@blackroomsec @saulmrt You need to open up your eyes and read with a bit more comprehension it would seem. He quite clearly doesn’t in fact need you or the job. He applied to see if there was mutual interest in working together and he was the one to back off when he realized the lack of quality. Lmao

Yeah, and I get that, but what all of you defending his rude and unacceptable behavior are NOT getting is that this letter to HR was disqualifying for ANY role. And, I'd bounce his ass if he were the lead dev just for coming at any staff member like this and he sure as shit wouldn't be hired by us. I don't care who he is, what he wants, etc, etc, he is interfacing with a representative from an org which extended him a job offer and how does he respond? Rudely. He's NOT in the driver's seat. He's NOT all that and a bag of chips. A little gratitude and humility go a long way. Anyone acting like at work gets bounced by me. You're a liability if you act like this. Again, not impressed, don't care who you are or what you can do. I don't NEED YOU. You need me because you're coming to ME for a JOB.
