K2 Horizon: A mysterious kidney disease has arrived in production?

Did it fly? Most of the roofers today in Texas are pretty damn young (16 - 30 tops). You don't really make it past that age because you're already worn out. The crew (10 guys) that showed up to roof my house went through at least 5 cases of Gatorade, I have a fridge in the garage that I filled with drinks. I told them to help themselves after seeing them pull a hot bottle of water from one of the craziest things I think I've read on HN. First, that a legit dealer could/did(does?) sell third-level domains at all (Verisign, no less) Second, that the top-level is staying available, allowing for second-levels to be bought/sniped like you mention. If you do lawyer up and need help with legal fees, I think this would be a worthy cause. As someone who loves FE the slop people are pushing where I work is really quite upsetting to me. I reviewed some code earlier which clearly wasn't intended for consumed by humans and I know with certainty this dev wouldn't have understood 90% of what that code did. It looked like hours of Claude trying to force square into a round hole tbh, but it worked. Was I going to reject the PR because of my code preferences? No, of course not. Ultimately it doesn't matter anymore. If Claude can maintain it then who cares... Even if it's broken (which it didn't seem to be) it's just FE anyway so not the end of the day. Claude can answer questions based on what the reader is curious about and wants to learn. Some types of document are still useful, namely higher-level directional or philosophical topics about the intention of a codebase. e.g. "we would like to eventually move X system to Rust for Y reason", "we chose mutable data structures over immutable in this part of the AI future. That includes all source code, open training data, how it's organized, fed to the model, processed, etc. Until that becomes a thing you're always going to be left wondering what exactly lies underneath the closed model you are using, leaving open the possibility for societal manipulation. "Note I'm not saying there are zero risks: the agent could mess up accessibility, it could cause an infinite loop that blocks users, etc. But in general, frontend code is a lot more ephemeral and replaceable than other types of code. So I expect many AI coders will feel comfortable just letting their agent handle it unsupervised (for better or worse).". This is a weirdly reductive take on frontend correctness. Just for the record, I'm a backend dev. So I don't have much stake in this game. This idea is, of course, not uncommon. "If the backend has to treat the frontend as adversarial anyway, and has all this cool stuff (constraints etc) for guaranteeing consistency of the system, then the frontend can just do whatever, right?" It plays into a lot of biases around typical frontend devs, typical backend devs, language stereotypes, etc. So it _sounds_ good. Let me tell you for a moment about one of the trucks. These guys didn't even have a cooler with cold water. I suppose at some point water/hydration isn't good enough, they need salt and electrolytes to balance things out. They think wearing long pants and shirts acts as an insulator from the heat but in my opinion it's nuts, they need to cover up but, in the lightest possible clothing they can wear that breaths. The same goes for the landscapers who work outside all day. It wouldn't surprise me if they are dying from the heat, it is merciless here in the summer. Even the birds fly away.... Did it fly?

All of this will be besides the point. Here is what's gonna happen. The frontier labs are just gonna keep building powerful models. AGI or not, open models in a year will be as powerful as Fable and Astra — probably by using em — and at a very soon enough point after that some one (a state or a few dozen people) with a few 100 GPUs is going to launch an unconscionable attack(if they have not already) that's gonna do a lot of the newly released models basically say day zero day support in vllm, slang but often not llama.cpp? Llama.cpp is then often a few days behind, which given it's the only inference engine supporting older architectures is quite frustrating.

"Note I'm not saying there are zero risks: the agent could mess up accessibility, it could cause an infinite loop that blocks users, etc. But in general, frontend code is a lot more out there now. I'm no expert, which is part of why these projects excite me. I'm hoping they can be good projects to learn from as well. Did it fly?

You'd upload pics/vids off your phone, they appear in the UI, you click a folder for them to go into (or click delete to discard), etc. Simple app, right? Well, naturally, pics from even vaguely modern phones are regularly 5MB or more. Not really something you want to start a pizza parlor b/c you like making pizza. Making the pizza is only 10% of the job.".
