This makes absolutely no sense to me. Are you really recompiling 6000 things each time a dev in the company needs to add a line somewhere in the codebase? Have you thought about splitting that giant thing in smaller chunks?

> Are you really recompiling 6000 things each time a dev in the company needs to add a line somewhere in the codebase?

It happens when someone modifies a widely included header file. Which there are a lot of thanks to our use of templates. And this is just our small team of 300 people.

> Have you thought about splitting that giant thing in smaller chunks?

Yes. We've tried but it's not scaling. Unfortunately, we've banned tactics like pImpl and dynamic linking that would split a codebase unless they're profiled not to be on a hot path. Speed is important because I'm writing tests for a semiconductor fab and test time is more expensive than any other kind of factory on Earth.

I tried stuff like precompiled headers but the fact only one can be used per compilation job meant it didn't scale to our codebase.


Thanks for the detailed breakdown. The template header cascade problem makes total sense, I underestimated how bad it gets at scale with heavy template usage. The semiconductor fab constraint is interesting too. When test time costs that much per minute, banning pImpl on hot paths is a pretty obvious call, even if it makes compile times painful. Appreciate the real-world context.

Agreed, it's a propaganda bot. But with Khamenei dead and Iran terrorist gov down we might have less of those paid actors here and everywhere on internet because their source of income will be gone

"Iran terrorist gov" so unserious. Yesterday's terrorist is today's US appointed leader. See: Syria. From US bounty to US approved. You can just as easily see Israel as the terrorist government attacking Iran unprovoked. They have been claiming Iran has been 2 weeks away from a nuke for decades.

I'm afraid the IRCG won't be able to pay your next paycheck...

And Mossad yours.

Seems Khamenei is dead... So I was right you won't have your paycheck

I can confirm this is real! Last week I tried to register a Facebook ads account, I got instantly banned for violating TOS ... Like 2 minutes after registration


Al model train ... I was not expecting that article... To much AI in my life


Much like Factorio - bringing too much tech/automation into your hobbies (such as model trains) just turns a fun weekend hobby into "work". It's really cool to see the progress with digital controls in model trains (read up about Neil Young and Lionel [0]) but I don't want to have to ask AI to rewrite my train handling config files just to get some little motor to spin.

I reckon you could probably still figure out how to just edit the text file. And if it's not fun to do that, then, surely it's just not the right hobby?


Ya, I was wondering if this made it to the top because people though "Al" was "AI," heh.


does it really matter? it's a good topic either way. actually it's even better because it isn't about AI.


Sure doesn't! Was just a funny thought (depending on your definition of funny, of course).


or now you spend couple of hours/days with AI and produce a Rust implementation that will smoke Django 100X


Pro plan without argo give you better peering on Cloudflare?


The reverse. Argo gives better peering than any paid plan. Its the reason for the product‘s existence. They can use more costly peering that they couldn‘t use with their free egress model.


Thanks for the pointer, not doubting that is true. My egress is unfortunately too large for it to make financial sense.

However, at the time I did plenty of trace routes to confirm that the Pro plans peering is at least better than the Free plan for the Telekom problem. Free plan would route traffic to NYC and back, while Pro plan traffic terminates in Frankfurt.


What's the benefit over using docker?


Can't speak for the benefits of https://nono.sh/ since I haven't used it, but a downside of using docker for this is that it gets complicated if you want the agent to be allowed to do docker stuff without giving it dangerous permissions. I have a Vagrant setup inspired by this blogpost https://blog.emilburzo.com/2026/01/running-claude-code-dange..., but a bug in VirtualBox is making one core run at 100% the entire time so I haven't used it much.


> but a bug in VirtualBox is making one core run at 100% the entire time

FYI they fixed it in 7.2.6: https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/356#issuecom...


it's down since yesterday afternoon, what's going on? hug of death?


Overhead? None Your real concern is: will potential customers run the model by themselves and skipping us?

Answer is no because you will eventually release a subpar model not your sorta model.

Also people don't have infrastructure to run this at scale (100-500 concurrent users) at best they can run it for 1-2 concurrent users.

This could be a good way for peoples to test it then use your infra.

Ah but you do have an online demo, so you might think this is enough, WRONG.
