The good thing is that it's steadily ruining shorts.

It sounded great on my Gravis Ultrasound with custom midi samples.

(it was also a pain when the Sound Blaster compatibility was needed, dma 1 irq 5).

It's only until Cold Harbor is completed.

Then all the engineers will get to rejoin their outies.

I don't know what Cold Harbor means in a Meta context, but its interesting that its named after the battle that exemplified Grant's strategy of attrition during the American Civil War. I suspect it means waves of engineers ground down against the defenses of OpenAI/Anthropic in the hopes of eventually finding a crack. Might be best to get out while you can.

> I don't know what Cold Harbor means in a Meta context

Cold Harbor is a reference to the TV show Severance.

Without going into any real spoilers it was the code name of a data classification project so mysterious that the people working on it weren't allowed to know what they were working on (and yes, the project in the show was probably named after the battle in the Civil War).

The Meta connection is that there are some humorous parallels between that project and a project involving people tagging data to train technology to replace themselves, and just the overall creepy dystopian vibe of both the fictional and real-world companies (and founders) involved.

Thanks for the explanation. Meta indeed.

I see that (new) EX44 servers are now 50% more expensive than before, ouch. Although there's none available anyway.

Maybe AI could now optimize all the server software made when RAM was cheap.

I think we are also going to see a lot of new software that is less hungry on compute and RAM than before. Probably first with games not requiring new hardware anymore.

Because the consumers won't upgrade to new hardware as fast as before. People who buy their first gaming PC in 2027 might even get a lower spec in average than people who bought in 2025. So new games might require even lower hardware specs than before, to sell enough copies.

This is a wishful fantasy. Vibe coded applications like ChatGPT desktop and Claude Code routinely take 1~2GB of RAM to display <1kb of text. There is zero initiative to make better software, the software industry is just saying "fuck you" to the rest of the world until the bubble pops.

Sure, that's why I think it will start with games. You don't buy a game if you can't (properly) play it. Either you get a new gaming PC, or stop buying new games and keep playing old ones.

Not sure if true (as it was on X) but I read that Bluesky would be exempt?

To be honest that's copied from the JS frameworks. I tend to agree with you but sometimes scoped CSS is nice to have.

Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the page but if you're talking about request caching there's libraries like PlugHTTPCache or RequestCache.

Otherwise I usually use Nebulex (annotations are nice for Ecto queries) with ETS as it's faster than with Redis (if you don't care about losing the cache on deployment).

What about https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/beamasm.html

It's not clear they will be. Or maybe not with the fans that wanted to see their teams.
