What would be the Python megacorps of choice ? Trading firms ? Not a regular pythoner (pythonist ? pythonian ?) myself.

It's unlikely an engineer would have direct access to anything. That should be at least behind multisig. But you never know, people do dumb shit and there might have been critical private keys mounted in some random container from a subsystem made 6 years ago that was never replaced or tracked because it never made noise.

I don't work at Binance, but having been in that exact situation (SRE @ Crypto company with lots of assets, attacked by North Koreans), I'm guessing DevOps guy gave access to some CI/CD, `kubectl exec` what have you which allowed attackers to play with APIs, some settlement mechanic, some smart contract update pipeline. You don't really have to attack wallets if something less secure controls them. This really could stem from nothing, excessive permissions in a GitHub token can go very leveraged properly.

Point taken. I'm a medievalist first and my interface with historical linguistics is Gallo-Romance languages, I'm just tracking the rest from afar. Call it a special interest. I've seen "Indo-Anatolian" pop up in literature, I was under the impression that it was the correct nomenclature at the moment.

In any case, my point was the early split of Anatolian and "the rest", however you want to call it.

The current consensus is not that Hittite is Indo-European, it's that Anatolian languages (including Hittite) are related to Indo-European, both stemming from proto-Indo-Anatolian.

That's because the State delegated construction and exploitation to private entities.

That's handwaving the mass-suffering caused by systemic collapse. I have a few issues with this. The first one is dialectic, you can't posit that since the following state reached a place you're fine with later on, the process that led to it was necessary. That's thinking backwards. You don't know that it wouldn't have reached a better or equal state without collapse.

The following ones are ethical and philosophical. My own standing is that :

- Individuals can't be treated as fungible or dispensable, even when thinking in macro states. That opens the door for extreme suffering and simplistic thinking.

- On longer scales, stability wins. Collapse should be treated as a hard failure, not a mechanic.

The article is vague, I'm having a hard time seeing if they're laying down a critique of git's underlying data representation and storage, a critique of git's UX or both.

If the main issue is agent-to-git overhead, until proven otherwise I see it as more of an agentic and/or UI issue than a source-versioning one.

Mistral doesn't look like it's benching at all. They're just as well funded as a lot of Chinese labs doing much more interesting work R&D-wise. Tailoring products for compliance doesn't cut it IMO, but I'm not in their shoes.

> When I was in Germany a few years ago, I was browsing jobs available in France and most software development jobs were under $55K USD. I don't know how you're supposed to survive on that. You can probably make more money as a waiter.

Salaries are calculated differently in France, Germany, US etc. For example working in Germany you're likely to fork a huge amount monthly to your health insurance. It actually makes it difficult to negotiate comp across borders.

$55k USD brut in France is around 2.8k EUR / month after taxes in France, which counts as the upper bracket of Middle Class in most of the country outside of Paris. Paltry when you're used to tech comps but decent for the vast majority of people here.

On the whole I agree that it's not competitive regionally or globally, and as for myself I'd leave for Switzerland or Australia if I had the opportunity.

Banking regulation varies from country to country, where I'm from a regular personal account isn't usually allowed to directly transfer more than a few tens of thousands of dollars per month. Anything beyond that is handled by the bank itself. Business accounts work differently.

I'm certain receiving a lump six figure sum on my personal account would trigger a review, if only because the taxman wants to know about it.

Backend-wise, it's just different sets of flags. The infrastructure is the same.

Depending on your context professional diagnosis might be expensive and out of reach and more importantly not incentivized. It's a space where self-diagnosis is more often than not the only path to diagnosis and understanding.

I'm myself bipolar (diagnosed) and very likely autistic (undiagnosed) and having a base understanding on the why and how my brain works has been a significant improvement.

Could be compression or metadata in their pipeline adding noise and making requests less generic.

Try DS through their own API if that's feasible, AFAIK they're much cheaper than through OS due to cache hit rates.

> As soon as things get in range for motivated amateurs, progress skyrockets.

That's how the AI boom came around to start with, before CUDA it was an academic topic.

Going directly though DeepSeek's API and hitting all day long with light/medium tasks I'm at $5/month. That's with pretty vanilla ohmypi.

"Nobody ever got fired for buying AWS."

Nowadays storage and bandwidth is cheap as long as you're not going through a hyperscaler and it doesn't require compute (ie. "dead" data). I'm working mostly on GCP so I'm not sure what are the rates now, but at least AWS were known for billing insane numbers on egress.

As long as you're smart on caching on the edges and deduplication/overlaying with your content (which structured data types like models, containers and repos typically are fit for) you can get remarkably far for less than you'd think.

The economics of serving models seem to be way more dodgy.

The decision was made in the context of foreign interference with elections.

Incredibly boring on Ferrari's part, the design language is both trite and outdated. The type of car itself isn't something people go to Ferrari for. I'm sure it's a decent car, but not a decent Ferrari. They're headed for a few bad years.

It's cultural latency. Europe is the faster warming continent and the buildings were perfectly fit for purpose 30 years ago. Old people lived their entire lives without AC and plainly dislike it.

There's more to it than first degree economics. If you include broader externalities, including loss through pollution and energy dependency, it makes more sense. Of course it's harder to measure hence harder to advocate, but in my opinion it's one those cases where intuition hits close to the truth. Of course being French I'm highly biased, but I'm glad we went the way we did, trading CapEx for stability.

Baltic and the older layers of Celtic languages are known to be pretty conservative, if not archaic, within the context of IE languages. If you look at Old Irish the ressemblance will be blatant.

Glad to see such a move from the Wrap team. It's been my go-to terminal emulator for a few years due to :

- Being able to drop in a brand new laptop and have almost all I need out of warp and a barebones ZSH configuration. I used to spend a lot of time on getting ZSH both fast and feature-rich, and it's brittle. Warp by default provides good auto-complete etc.

- Fast rendering and sane graphical defaults. I don't need to do much more than put my font of choice.

- QoL features regarding file rendering etc.

I've never used the agentic parts of it, when I needed CLI my company paid for Claude and I get most of my stuff done with what I get out of my Zed subscription. But I'd be more inclined to do so now.

> Who are their highly funded closed-source competitors they claim Warp cannot beat on price?

Agentic AI, broadly speaking. Including CLI agents and IDEs.

> This center was later captured in 11th century CE, and this event essentially started the Western Renaissance movement in Europe.

Islamic contribution within the context of European history should be both acknowledged and recognized as being autoctonous, but attributing to it things that well attested through other pathways works against it and reinforces myths historians are toiling to get rid of.

The Renaissance as we know it was kickstarted by the conquest of Constantinople in 1204 by the French and Italians, that's well documented and broadly agreed on by historians. All of this happened on the foundations laid down from the 11th c. onwards as the post-Carolingian world was stabilized.

> Those things were built like tanks

In the late 40s, a lot of them were built from tanks !

The first motorized thing I've ever driven was a Massey Ferguson 37 I think. I still hope to have my own some day !

At the moment my little brother and my father, who are living in a rural area, have started a collection of vintage tractors by buying everything they can and fixing it up, help that my dad's a mechanic. I'm frankly jealous.

It's not. It's an English pun on a Greek word, which roughly means "investigation".

I like your work but I'll echo others : the title font is too narrow and hurts readability. I've advise for a regular Garamond.

You're mis-interpreting if you're thinking I'm ascribing it to race. Frankly, I'm not an American and I don't care for it.

I'm saying quite literally that it's over-represented in Black American artists, alongside with drug abuse. Which is a theme explored extensively by Black American artists themselves, most recently Kendrick. That it happens to white people in a similar set of circumstances (absentee parents and abuse during childhood) confirms my point.
