I will never make an account, so I guess they want me to only access Reddit-posted content through LLMs.

Got it.

Now there's a blast from the past.

Those shitweasels caused a lot of pain and cost a lot of money. Darl's reward was picking scraps from the SCO trash heap, bankruptcy and then croaking of ALS.

I wonder what PJ is up to.

Having actually RTFA for once... I was looking at where Mark was noting his first email address.

I remember those days -- pre internet, so you had to give the route (...!ucbvax!ucscb).
We also had write (and for see as you type, "rite") on our PDP-11/70, and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why I'd use email instead of write. It took a while before I realized the value of asynchronous communication.

But yes, those were the days.

Finally! Someone I can tell to get off my lawn with those hot grits!

I waited for quite a while. I figured it wasn't necessary. Otherwise I probably would have had a 4 digit ID as well.

I am shocked, SHOCKED! That AI didn't preserve institutional knowledge.

Sure hope those engineers held out for a nice salary bump that should come out of the executive compensation pool, but won't.

Waiting to see that they can actually ship and I will be a customer. This looks great to me.

Who are you arguing with?

We do. I'd bet you'll find Squid somewhere in most large orgs. Lots of things can replace various parts of it, but it remains a super handy swiss army knife for dealing with most things HTTPS.

At one time, Squid was also the core of at least one big public CDN's product I know of. What they run now has diverged a ton and I heard they purged all remaining squid project code at one point, but it was recognizably descended from squid for quite a while.

And while I am still working on OpenWater and Alignable, the only thing I've gotten from LinkedIn in the past year is rewrite-your-resume scams

It is rather expensive to run. 2x the next closest per-token, but this thing eats a lot more tokens.

Pretty sure you could burn through the quota from a $20 account in a single query if it involved a bunch of tool calls.

BSA is a sock with googley eyes glues on. Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle and other software audit enthusiasts are the hand inside.

Of course they don't want Europe breaking dependency. It is like asking your dealer if you should get clean.

One strategy is, not touch any modules until they are at least, say, 72 hours old.

Until everyone else is doing that too, then you make it 168.
