> we started rolling out an increase to our buffer size to 1MB, the default limit allowed by Next.js applications.

Why is the Next.js limit 1 MB? It's not enough for uploading user generated content (photographs, scanned invoices), but a 1 MB request body for even multiple JSON API calls is ridiculous. There frameworks need to at least provide some pushback to unoptimized development, even if it's just a lower default request body limit. Otherwise all web applications will become as slow as the MS office suite or reddit.


The update was to update it to 3MB (paid 10MB)

a) They serialize tons of data into requests b) Headers. Mostly cookies. They are a thing. They are being abused all over the world by newbies.

> Is the output of your C compiler the same every time you run it?

Yes? Because of actual engineering mind you and not rolling the dice until the lucky number comes up.

It's not true for a place-and-route engine, so why does it have to be true for a C compiler?

Nobody else cares. If you do, that's great, I guess... but you'll be outcompeted by people who don't.



That's an advertisement, not an answer.

Did you really read and understand this page in the 1 minute between my post and your reply or did you write a dismissive answer immediately?

Eh, I'll get an LLM to give me a summary later.

In the meantime: no, deterministic code generation isn't necessary, and anyone who says it is is wrong.


Copilot is so useless compared to the rest, using Windows really is like trying to evade having shit smeared in your face all the time.

But they aren't the first. Google is the first frontier model lab to go public.

Index investors aren't exposed to IPOs, since the common indexes (SPX etc) don't include IPOs (and if you invest in a YOLO index that does, that's on you).

Also:

VTI and VT, two of the largest index funds, DO invest in unprofitable companies.

And for the rest (SP 500 etc), these companies are going to fake profits using some sort of financial engineering to be included.


> It's kind of funny, you can ask Rufus for stuff like "write a hello world in python for me" and then it will do it and also recommend some python books.

Interesting, I tried it with the chatbot widget on my city government's page, and it worked as well.

I wonder if someone has already made an openrouter-esque service that can connect claude code to this network of chat widgets. There are enough of them to spread your messages out over to cover an entire claude pro subscription easily.


A childhood internet friend of mine did something similar to that but for sending SMSes for free using the telco websites' built in SMS forms. He even had a website with how much he saved his users, at least until the telcos shut him down.

Phreaking in 2025

Well Phreaking in 2003-05 (no clue when anymore), so at the same time you could still get free phone calls on pay phones in the library or hotel lobby.

Not sure for Claude Code specifically, but in the general case, yes - GPT4Free and friends.

I think if you run any kind of freely-accessible LLM, it is inevitable that someone is going to try to exploit it for their own profit. It's usually pretty obvious when they find it because your bill explodes.


Apart from the obvious compatibility disaster, what kind of skeletons does Microsoft have in their printing system that the choice of C library creates those compatibility issues in the first place?

Print Spooler has had some bad security vulnerabilities. Example: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2021/06/30/printnigh...

I don’t know if this C library helps mitigate this but Print Spooler is not “it just works” either.


The UCRT is just the newer, Windows-component version of the MSVCRT, the one they’re worried about. It’s even available for XP.

> will intentionally fail to print to remote print servers

Why would a more secure local print driver refuse to talk to _remote_ print servers? What is so untrustable about what comes over the wire, and if it is, how can they trust the print server is or is not one is claims to be and can be talked to?


My guess is it’s riddled with vulnerabilities. I used to write some print management software and found it very easy to crash the spooler just from routine API calls.

Not only that but it seemed every time they fixed a vulnerability some piece of functionality broke.


Obviously not? Accounting software has to work or the IRS (or your local equivalent) will come after you. Zoho "just works".


Pre-revenue gets weird when you're in the cuatro commas club.

It's going to be a race with the bond market.

"If you show revenue, people will ask 'HOW MUCH?' and it will never be enough. The company that was the 100xer, the 1000xer is suddenly the 2x dog. But if you have NO revenue, you can say you're pre-revenue! You're a potential pure play... It's not about how much you earn, it's about how much you're worth. And who is worth the most? Companies that lose money!"

Art imitates life imitates ...

I’m not advocating for it! But it’s real.

Why?
