The worst part to me is their inability to tell the truth because of what seems to be legal reasons?

This makes them one of the largest car companies in the world. Pretty wild

I think the equivalent is basically blog posts. It’s hard to formalize marketing in the same way CS things can be formalized.

I wonder if this could be used to train an LLM to convert PDFs with rich charts into HTML?

I only used Bird once and have always thought they were not a great way of getting around. That said this is a real bummer to me. If commuting and mobility were much much easier th…

Interesting. Do you think html generation is one of the things that makes the numbers look so good for 3.2 YJIT? We run a mostly json api only app. I think json serialization is no…

Very interesting blog post! My best guess as to how shopify is able to achieve such large increases in speed is they have a lot more actual ruby code than most codebases ( https://…

I moved from ruby 2.7 to 3.2 for a rails app and was hopeful that it would lead to large speedups like shopify claims it did for them, but was bummed to find it did basically nothi…

Now that electric cars that are relatively cheap have such fast acceleration the only reason to buy a car like a Porsche is for exactly this the old school cool feel.

If this were surprise news maybe, but this is the type of news that is priced in slowly over time and somewhat expected. Basically when sophisticated people bought uber a year ago …

I think it disappears not when you move away from SPA's but when you move away from some high interactivity features products that are amazing to use often have. This especially be…
