Author here.

I finally got it working. I had to flush both the encrypted writer and then the stream writer. There was also some issues with reading. Streaming works, but it'll always return 0 on the first read because Writer.Fixed doesn't implement sendFile, and thus after the first call, it internally switches from streaming mode to reading mode (1) and then things magically work.

Currently trying to get compression re-enabled in my websocket library.

In Ireland, jail time is rare for such offences sadly. In cases where jail time is sentenced, overcrowding in prisons often results in early release.

But prison is a business in the U.S., so new customers are always welcome.

Everyone is talking about "bailouts" and "owning a company that the government funds."

This isn't about that at all. This is about the breakdown of the rule of law, a unitary executive bypassing all other branches of government and demanding a private enterprise give itself over to the government.

If you don't think there was an "or else" as part of this deal, you're largely mistaken. If you don't think that there will be other questionalbe demands placed on Intel in the future from this government, you are largely mistaken.

But y'all go ahead and can keep arguing over whether we should "get something back" from this deal. Because that's really going to maker ameraica graet agian.

I completely agree.

On a side note.. ya’ll must be prompt wizards if you can actually use the LLM code.

I use it for debugging sometimes to get an idea, or a quick sketch up of an UI.

As for actual code.. the code it writes is a huge mess of spaghetti code, overly verbose, with serious performance and security risks, and complete misunderstanding of pretty much every design pattern I give it..

It's just that being the dumbest thing we ever heard still doesn't stop some people from doing it anyway. And that goes for many kinds of LLM application.

Full disclosure: I'm currently in a leadership role on an AI engineering team, so it's in my best interest for AI to be perceived as driving value.

Here's a relatively straightforward application of AI that is set to save my company millions of dollars annually.

We operate large call centers, and agents were previously spending 3-5 minutes after each call writing manual summaries of the calls.

We recently switched to using AI to transcribe and write these summaries. Not only are the summaries better than those produced by our human agents, they also free up the human agents to do higher-value work.

It's not sexy. It's not going to replace anyone's job. But it's a huge, measurable efficiency gain.

That’s an important point. Real-life use cases are not sexy. And they don’t lend themselves to overblown hype generation and “creative marketing”.

So much freedom. It is scary to see how fast the USA is falling. But at least we now have an answer to how this all could have happened in Germany, why they didn't stop the builders of the concentration camps and how come the 'good Germans' did nothing. The price is a little steep though.

The most surprising thing to me is that people that are by most measures intelligent are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

Sadly that's usual for learning such things first hand.

Competition keeps entities honest. Monopolies will kill you. In Boeing's case both figuratively for the business and literally for it's customers.

But sadly not fast enough. The monopolies get to make everyone else miserable for far too long.
