Fable is not actually bumping you to Opus 4.8 bc you tripped a safety filter, but bc the AGI did a deep search into you before you even sent the prompt, and it determined you to be a member of the permanent underclass and it's just doing its job of keeping you there for eternity

if fable 5 agrees to do your work instead of downgrading you to opus, you’re in the permanent underclass

Had our intern build this when we needed a comprehensive list but couldn't find one. He's done a pretty good job imo.

Not quite sure I belong given that the other guests are the creators of cURL, Tokio and Hyper but I'm happy to have been featured on the Netstack podcast. The final 20 minutes about TCP/IP fingerprinting are particularly interesting, IMO.

Golang HTTP/2 is fucking dreadful. Running into issues at 6k requests per second, even with 40 threads only @ 50%. Meanwhile, on the same server, at the same time, doing the same load, Rust's Hyper is chilling. Staying late in the office to help fix Go code is not it.

Finished building a Dual Channel OPA Alice with a 34mm Takstar codenser in this gorgeous body. Sounds phenomenal. Next up is a Neuman u87 clone.

Rust and Go is a goated combination. Rust for everything important and Go for the idiots who have to implement business logic on top of my Rust.

Used SQLite because I was too lazy to set up anything else. Now it’s the most stable part of the project.

It should be a crime to talk about traffic in anything other than requests per second.
3 Sep 2025
You've been tricked! Very high traffic is cheap too, I serve 314,000,000 requests per month One VPS can be just $50/mo to handle all this traffic, with Cloudflare caching most of it (for free!)

Think you've got the history of computing a little confused. Only 1 of these would be in my top 3 too.
On the evolution of programming abstraction, is it fair to say there are three major leaps: - punch cards to assembly - asm to compilers - compilers to LLMs

Punch cards, assembly and compilers all overlapped. There was no distinct advancement from one to the other. Fortran - which required a compiler - was input using punch cards well into the 70s.

Hate that I have the means to dominate ipv4.games but doing so would hurt our business. We talked about it in the office but publishing our IPs like that probably isn't the smartest idea. I'm surprised other proxy providers haven't started blocking the site.

Yesterday 4chan discovered that femboy cat claimed 9% of IPv4 addresses (according to Censys) on IPv4 Games. The chaos that ensued is what you might imagine🧵

I did manage to claim a few blocks and 250k IPs using a gig of credit i had left with a competitor

If I'm not replying to your shitty sales emails just leave me the fuck alone. Why are you messaging me like a needy girlfriend?
