Per-minute pricing for self-hosted runners seems like a very fast way for them to force everyone who actually is using self-hosted runners to migrate away.

I suspect we'll be doing that sometime in January or February.

I guess forgejo is the easiest migration path? https://forgejo.org/

The nice thing is unlike Cloudflare or AWS you can actually host good LLMs locally. I see a future where a non-trivial percentage of devs have an expensive workstation that runs all of the AI locally.

I'm more and more convinced of the importance of this.

There is a very interesting thing happening right now where the "llm over promisers" are incentivized to over promise for all the normal reasons -- but ALSO to create the perception that the "next/soon" breakthrough is only going to be applicable when run on huge cloud infra such that running locally is never going to be all that useful ... I tend to think that will prove wildly wrong and that we will very soon arrive at a world where state of art LLM workloads should be expected to be massively more efficiently runnable than they currently are -- to the point of not even being the bottleneck of the workflows that use these components. Additionally these workloads will be viable to run locally on common current_year consumer level hardware ...

"llm is about to be general intelligence and sufficient llm can never run locally" is a highly highly temporary state that should soon be falsifiable imo. I don't think the llm part of the "ai computation" will be the perf bottleneck for long.

Is there any way to implement structured concurrency on top of the std.Io primitive?

What makes a NATS client implementation the right prototype from which to extract a generic async framework layer?

This looks interesting but I'm not familiar with NATS

I'm convinced that a great majority of problems in the US these days fundamentally boils down to principal agent problems. The 2008 financial crisis is a great example. Once banks no longer kept mortgages on their own books, it just became a matter of time until that was going to blow up. The incentives change.

It takes more than just misaligned incentives to get a banking crisis -- you have to have structural corruption preventing the transfer of the loss gradient back to the "misaligned" decision makers. It's somewhat disingenuous (or overly innocent) to reimagine the pathways which power structural corruption as "innocent ignorance in the face of bad incentives".

The real world has "actually bad" actors -- not just misaligned incentives.

I was hoping google cloud artifact registry pull-thru caching would help. Alas, it does not.

I can see an image tag available in the cache in my project on cloud.google.com, but after attempting to pull from the cache (and failing) the image is deleted from GAR :(

In our ci setting up the docker buildx driver to use the artifact registry pull through cache involves (apparently) an auth transaction to dockerhub which fails out

Political violence was certainly very common in the 60s and 70s. Maybe the 80s and 90s were a bit of a lull in that sense but the murder rate was still much higher in 1990 than it’s now.

The only figures of note that were assassinated that i can think of were more lefty -- or at least non right -- jfk, mlk, harvey milk, bobby kennedy, malcolm x -- were there actually any prominent american right wing figures assassinated in this "period of escalated political assassinations ...?"

Probably penalized due to political themes being discouraged on HN.

Which is IMO a bad decision. You can ignore politics, but politics won't ignore you.

Kirk's murder itself made the front page ... so we clearly don't always ignore politically adjacent topics here

It seems like there is, and will be, a strong reaction from the public (I may, of course, be hoping for something I'd like to see).

This thread is certainly active with those critical of the administration.

Note, the public at large did not know what Kimmel said until now. The Streisand effect is coming into play, because it was so uncontroversial.

The podcast part, I agree, although it's sad in someways, as it demolishes the national conversation, and makes easier to appeal to "your group" rather than "all groups".

Personally i cancelled my disney+ subscription for this (paid for via verizon) and made sure to explicitly say why. I encourage others to do the same.

I don't care about Jimmey Kimmel's jokes nor do I watch his show with any regularity -- but I sure as hell care about his right to make jokes.

Why the heck is this 600+ comment thread not on the front page?
