> Just let the hypecycle die off in peace already. I so wish that would happen so we can all find a more sustainable middle ground, but the trillion or so dumped into it says other…

I’m horribly out of shape and that’s pretty much what I can manage. The question isn’t how fast _should_ I go, but how fast _can_ I go so that I can come back and do it the next da…

Thanks, I was looking for a nice red and green gradient for an app, the one on top looks perfect.

> When my kids were young. I had dreams of being super financially successful so that I could give them lots of nice things. I just don't want that for them anymore. That is a deci…

Thank you for the incredibly inspiring work! At a time when 99% of the founders and VCs just want to bank on the next big hype cycle and accumulate power and wealth, it’s good to b…

I’d gladly pay for YouTube or other Google services when they offer an option to not track my activity at all. For me it’s not about seeing ads just on YouTube, but being tracked a…

Genuine questions: why are they calling it “reciprocal”? Is the US just matching the tariffs set by the other countries? Also, this announcement has wiped out any plans of buying t…

Tangentially related: is there a good guide or setup scripts to run self hosted Postgres with backups and secondary standby? Like I just want something I can deploy to a VPS/dedica…

Using bun has been a great experience so far. I used to dread setting up typescript/jest/react/webpack for a new project with breaking changes all over the place. With bun, it’s be…

The timing on when this essay is being published is interesting. Are all the tech billionaires falling in line before the next administration takes over? Also, let this be a lesson…

Seems like a great way to write self documenting code which can be optionally used by your python runtime.

It's a no brainer for me cause I already own the MacBook and I don't mind waiting a few extra seconds. Also, I didn't buy the mac for this purpose, it's just my daily device. So ye…

They are perfectly fine for certain people. I can run Qwen-2.5-coder 14B on my M2 Max MacBook Pro with 32gb at ~16 tok/sec. At least in my circle, people are budget conscious and w…

Yep that's what I'm thinking as well. I was going to buy a 5090 mainly to play around with LLM code generation, but this is a worthy option for roughly the same price as building a…

I’m not so sure it’s negligible. My anecdotal experience is that since Apple Silicon chips were found to be “ok” enough to run inference with MLX, more non-technical people in my c…

Bigger in the sense of the announcements.

I feel this is bigger than the 5x series GPUs. Given the craze around AI/LLMs, this can also potentially eat into Apple’s slice of the enthusiast AI dev segment once the M4 Max/Ult…

This is timely as I’m just building out a crawler in scrapy. Thanks!

I dread the day I have to eat at US restaurants, or even get something delivered. Part of the reason is cultural: I’ve never lived in a country where a tip is mandatory and you’ll …

That’s some Minority Report level shit right there!

Looks neat! Definitely more reliable than my hacky jq script[0] which I had to write for envs with only sh and jq [0] https://gist.github.com/Checksum/17c84306f563eca40b353f6ed83..…

Thanks for the response! Sounds like most of the major issues I’ve had with Elm are being addressed in some way. Will follow your progress and contribute.

Not an American but according to everything I’ve read, impeachment is not the equivalent of prosecution [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_St...

I’ve asked this somewhere before, but didn’t get an answer. Are there plans for Gren to: 1. Improve FFI (aka Elm Kernel for everyone) 2. Support Self hosted packages 3. Implement L…
