bostonvaulter2 commented on What Claude Code Sends to the Cloud   rastrigin.systems/blog/cl... · Posted by u/rastriga

yes, it's obvious the data goes to Anthropic. What wasn't obvious to me was what exactly is included and how it's structured: system prompt size, full conversation replay, file contents, git history, tool calls. The goal was to understand how the wire level works. On Azure/Bedrock - good point! My understanding is that they route requests through their infrastructure rather than Anthropic directly, which does change the trust boundary, but my focus here was strictly on what the client sends, that payload structure is the same regardless of backend.

Specifically do you mean when you say git history is sent? How much of it is included in each request?
bostonvaulter2 commented on Graphite is joining Cursor   cursor.com/blog/graphite... · Posted by u/fosterfriends

Hi all! Graphite cofounder Greg here - happy to help answer questions. To preempt one: I’ve been asked a few times so far why we decided to join.

Personally, I work on Graphite for two reasons. 1) I love working with kind, smart, intense teammates. I want to be surrounded by folks who I look up to and who energize me. 2) I want to build bleeding-edge dev tools that move the whole industry forward. I have so much respect for all y’all across the world, and nothing makes me happier than getting to create better tooling for y’all to engineer with. Graphite is very much the combination of these two passions: human collaboration and dev tools.

Joining Cursor accelerates both these goals. I get to work with the same team I love, a new bunch of wonderful people, and get to keep recruiting as fast as possible. I also get to keep shipping amazing code collaboration tooling to the industry - but now with more resourcing and expertise. We get to be more ambitious with our visions and timelines, and pull the future forward.

I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t think the Cursor team weren’t standup people with high character and kindness. I wouldn’t do this if I thought it meant compromising our vision of building a better generation of code collaboration tooling. I wouldn’t do it if I thought it wouldn’t be insanely fun and exciting. But it seems to be all those things, so we’re plunging forward with excitement and open hearts!

As someone who loves all the non-AI portions of Graphite (the CLI and the reviewer UI) should I be worried about this acquisition? Or will the CLI and Reviewer Ui continue to be be maintained and improved?
bostonvaulter2 commented on How Google Maps allocates survival across London's restaurants   laurenleek.substack.com/p... · Posted by u/justincormack

Google's Maps search ranking doesn't seem sophisticated to me. In fact it seems unbelievably naive. Ranking is Google's core business and yet they seem to forget how to do it when a map is involved.

When I want to find something that's actually good, I use this site: https://top-rated.online. At first glance it looks like an unremarkable SEO spam site, but it's actually a great way to get properly ranked Google Maps reviews. It uses proper Bayesian ranking, so it won't show you a 5 star place with two reviews over a 4.9 star place with 2,000 reviews, as Google often will. And it has good sorting and filtering options so you can, for example, filter or sort by number of reviews.

bostonvaulter2 commented on Why I Chose Elixir Phoenix over Rails, Laravel, and Next.js   akarshc.com/post/phoenix-... · Posted by u/akarshc

I love how this article reads more like the individual ignores features and capabilities of other frameworks to then state that the framework he chose is better.

Rails has everything he mentions as an advantage of Phoenix. He's also implying that Rails does not use web sockets to communicate with frontend which is not only wrong it should be evidently wrong to anyone who built a Rails app in the last 3 years.

That's not to say that Phoenix and LiveView aren't phenomenal tools, they are! However what's keeping me in the Rails world is Hotwire Native. I truly feel like a one man army building mobile and web apps in a quick turnaround time.

Where is the article saying that? I only see " Those things are possible in Rails and Laravel, but they take a bit more effort to set up." which is a very different (and more nuanced/personal take) then what you're stating.

I wish someone would make a keyboard with keycaps that are like 80% size. I think that would make it much easier to hit some of the keys that are further away.

Yeah the glove thumb pad sucks. Those 2 keys furthest away are impossible with RSI. Surely it's obvious. I'm surprised they haven't refined them.

Apart from that it's a great keyboard.

Have you tried using key tilters? It makes a significant difference for me: https://sites.google.com/view/keyboards/hardware/accessories...

Reading reviews of this type of keyboard is really interesting to me because their use is such a subjective experience. I have found that the glove80 has far and away the most comfortable thumb cluster for my hands as well as the most comfortable positioning for my pinkies.

I couldn’t make the corne variants work because tucking my thumbs hurt. The ergodox is too big. Even a keyboard like the ZSA Voyager just doesn’t fit me right. However, the glove80, running a 40 key layout that I’ve come up with after doing a fair amount of heat mapping my own keystrokes, gets rid of all my hand and wrist discomfort. My only complaint is what a hassle it is to haul around.

The only “wisdom” (hard earned) I would pass along is:

- Make a heat map of your keyboard over a few days to see what keys you need.

- tweak your layout to make it easy and comfortable to get to the keys and key combos you use.

- remember you do NOT have to use every key!

If I'm reading your reply further down the page right then you only use two of the 6 keys. Is that right? For me, I think I'd want to use at least 4 or 5 keys in my thumb cluster before I could call it comfortable.

I assume the name is based on Vannevar Bush's Memex¹?

The ex suffix could also come from Elixir (its a common pattern in many libraries)

Does anyone know what license this is released under? I looked for a few minutes on the site but I didn’t find it.

As soon as you announce a new subway station the vultures descend and prices will ratchet up as speculators by land and sit in it, waiting for the hither bidder.
bostonvaulter2 · 2 years ago
One part of the answer to that is a land value tax. That way the “vultures” won’t be able to simply sit on the property waiting for it to appreciate before selling it.
