To all the haters to not knowing what "pi" means in this context. Is mario zechner's ai agent / coding harness [1][2], similar in spirit albeit much less complex to claude code or openai's codex and others.
I wouldn't call it third tier. If anything alongside opencode, and codex, its one of the "first tier" and the only non-VC-backed (at least before mario joined earendil (idk about earendil raising or not)
anyways. Pi is good. I dont need a telegram client for it, but this precisely show why pi is great, because its really easy to extend pi building plugins or modifying the source (yay, open source)
I think it's more about the bait and switch marketing optics of offering a "core" part of your codebase as "FOSS" to get the extra brownie points by doing so, while it's at the same time littered with caveat emptors, and imports from "enterprise licensed" code for the features that business care about.
Also all the "commercial open source" or COSS seems to lean into that, its a valid strategy to monetize open source, but should be done transparently and being very upfront about its bait-y nature to businesses or enterprises imho
so does anything change or will change for better-auth FOSS consumers? Or not really and that mostly depends on what Vercel imposes as new direction going forward? I guess vercel is a good home for foss projects, at worst they'll make first class adoption on their ecosystem without actively hampering others etc
There's been a lot of recent scandals going public against the social democratic party ruling on spain now (PSOE) and its previous dirigents. See Zapatero case. leaked by US agencies recently once Spain put some kind of friction to the Rota south spain bases getting involved on anything vs Iran.
The president P. Sanchez, has been clearly antagonizing Trump in these and other intl issues (even if only visible in spain, as he is not that relevant internationally, etc)
But anyways, this seems like deepstate fighting vs current US admin and current Spain admin, one can infer "Palantir" is basically a gag order away from giving the US govt anything it wants, so as an antagonist. to its current admin, it seems smart to avoid having them as critical providers.
why choose china? Makes no sense, but probably the only other big bro Spain can rely on if the US isn't it anymore
one could also see the fable-5 getting pulled off, US govt-ant talks, etc as part of all this globally i think
which is may way to say maybe Anthropic knows this isnt true, but they still will say otherwise publicly to make this admin understand whatever they need regardless on potential security issues etc, idk im extrapolating toomuch probably
No we're on hetzner/ovh boxes, so delivery time really isnt an issue.
Right now the biggest issue is the vibe coded CI program is not really meant to be a distributed multi-node thing yet, so we're on the biggest machines (there's some newer bigger stuff we could migrate too) and the only issue is on peak hours queue can get a bit slow.. but that was also some other bugs etc making not ideal.
Tbh it works pretty well, we just need now to scale it to more than one node etc (which is not to say that is easy, but still, x10 headroom to work with)
Yes I agree, I'd only wish there's some way for do this by the book, like its not so hard, Brasil government has produced almost SOTA models, why cant the UE figure shit out? They could even rent hw like everyone else to do the first trainings...
But no, lets make this a 10B deal who someone will suck out 1B out of it even before its shipped
Memory market has a special problem, it's usually on a boom and bust cycle, and so the actual factories don't want to overbuild capacity to get chips they cannot sell in 2-3 years when the "bust" part of the cycle comes.
Maybe AI is here to have changed that for the better, but we'll see if the hype dies down or we just ride through it and memory really never comes back to regular pricing
Every memory is a "story" you re-tell yourself each time you "remember" it.
There's no meaningful difference on how you experience it as "real" even if its just a "re-enaction" of such reality, but it might help explain why so many humans remember things from their past slightly differently than they actually happened.
This can also serve as a trauma-recovery mechanism, allowing one to not remember stuff too traumatizing etc, the brain blocks it out or rewrites it as a dream, or whatever
