we did invent it and it's called OIDC federation vercel and github actions do it: - each deploy gets a short-lived signed token - AWS/npm/other services verify it via trust policy - you get temporary creds no keys to paste the problem is not enough APIs and services accept it
to me it was always bonkers insane that in order to connect service A with service B i need to ... paste an api key ??? how come as a fucking industry we didnt invent a better way to connect deployments with services

Bazel isn’t glamorous. You’d have to hold a gun to my head to make me use it pre AI. But my god, when the entirety of my interaction with setting it up was “use Bazel” and a week later “add remote workers for distributed compile” It’s phenomenal.

Oh wow bazel is still a thing? Haven’t heard about it in ages

Developers will be like, "I don't like paying $1 per build, I'll just buy this $15,000 mac studio so all my builds are free" not an accounting class in sight

OpenAI’s faster Fourier transform is less a mathematical breakthrough and more a malicious exploit of mathematical traditions. argmin.net/p/faster-fourier-…

The best Korean fried chicken in Berlin comes from the Chinese restaurants in this area
The trick is to only eat Chinese food in Wilmersdorf. Took me a while to discover this life hack but it seems to be highly competitive and just straight up amazing.

In my experience as a Formal Verification Guy, AIs have been really really really bad at coming up with high level system properties (like "beginner" level). Last I tried was Fable 5.1, is Opus 5.5 any better?

New flight plan: we’ll fly east to Poland . Then North-West to Iceland and then over Greenland to New York. Crazy diversion but I guess better than no flight at all!

It supports both the on-device model and Private Cloud Compute! We built it to enable effortless automations for Mac users. It's free, zero setup, no privacy compromises.
TIL macOS 27 now comes with new fm cli 🤯 We can now use Apple's Foundation Models (on device) from CLI!
