  • This is the kind of stuff that trump and his ilk are all about.

    To build on this, the anti-American sentiment is what fuels the xenophobia of that party. “Fuck America” is what makes people go “ya know what let’s just not have allies anymore” and start threatening everyone.

    Nuance isn’t that hard. It’s simple, actually. Fuck the people who are in charge of and in support of these decisions. Fuck the people who actually gain from fucking over the rest of the world.

    It’s not like Trump intends to listen to me or my trans husband anyway. If anything, even against the NRA’s wishes (by some miracle), he wants us to be ineligible to even own a gun.



  • had people understood from the start the limitations of it, investment would’ve been more modest and cautious

    People did understand from the start. Those who do the investing just didn’t listen, or they had a different motive. These days it’s impossible to tell which.

    And by “people” I’m not referring to random people, but those who have been closer than most to the development of these models. There has been an unbelievable amount of research done on everything from the effectiveness of specific models in niche fields to the ability to use an LLM as the backend for a production service. Again, no amount of negative feedback going up the chain has made a difference in the direction, so that only leaves a few explanations on why the investment continues to be so high.












  • Can’t speak for Git, but caching responses is a common enough problem that it’s built into the standard HTTP headers.

    As for building a cache, you’d want to know a few things:

    • What is a cache entry? In your case, seems to be an API response.
    • How long do cache entries live? Do they live for a fixed time (TTL cache)? Do you have a max number of cached entries before you evict entries to make space? How do you determine which entries to evict if so?
    • What will store the cache entries? It seems like you chose Git, but I don’t see any reason you couldn’t start simple just by using the filesystem (and depending on the complexity, optionally a SQL DB).

    You seem locked into using Git, and if that’s the case, you still need to consider the second point there. Do you plan to evict cache entries? Git repos can grow unbounded in size, and it doesn’t give you many options for determining what entries to keep.
