    Phone number sign-up means instant delete. Absolute no-go.

    Yeah, using this tool for example?

    No one is using that dataset for any serious models. It’s way too small and old.

    Well, thats why I specifically mentioned “performance and build-quality wise”. If you want to run Linux, then it’s obviously not a viable option.

    That may be true, but a MacBook is still better value for your money than any of the new Thinkpads, performance and build-quality wise.

    Sure, yes. But that has been quite flakey for me as well. Regardless, if we stick with the example of the Zig docs, using the search and then opening the actual docs is a much bett…

    Along those lines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48269481 By “their own index” i assume you mean training data? If so, thats a big part of the issue for me. As an example, i…

    I guess both my job and my personal life do involve a lot of searching, though i’d say that sometimes (a lot of the time) its also my ADHD getting the best of me. Looking through s…

    We must have wildly different workflows/ways to interact with the web. Search is always faster than asking an LLM if I have a general idea of what I am looking for. I may consult a…

    It’s entirely designed by claude. Looks like every claude website out there.

    Given the heavy LLM usage, i’d probably be a little concerned about the project’s longevity. I personally also can’t stand seeing that typeface on websites anymore…

    The fact that this somehow has 3 USB-A ports immediately makes it completely irrelevant to me. Why would I ever want a device with multiple legacy ports like that? I have completel…

    Its fine for HomeLab use, but its not really an alternative to something like barman. Quite heavy and vibe-coded.

    Haven’t used USB-A on my Laptop in years. Don’t even have an adapter.

    OpenRouter performs much, much better than LiteLLM proxy. In my experience, if OpenRouter offers a model, the API will be supported. They also often have inference providers availa…

    Plenty of other providers that offer much faster inference on GLM-5.1. Friendli, GMICloud, Venice, Fireworks, etc. And can be deployed through Bedrock already as well. Will probabl…

    I don't disagree at all. I am merely commenting on your takeaway that this somehow means that some cultures see schizophrenia as "friendly", which does absolutely does not follow f…

    You are aware that ty has only recently entered beta status? Ruff isn’t stable yet either and has evolved into the de facto standard for new projects. It has more than double the a…

    Maybe a lot of us are ready for “free speech”. But people tend to define it in drastically different terms.

    Surface Laptop is 1099€ vs 699€ for the Macbook Neo in Germany. Macbook Neo is also 219ppi vs Surface Laptop at 178ppi. We’ll see about performance, but i’d expect the macbook to b…

    I guess you could say that. There are frameworks such as swift-cross-ui, but I couldn’t tell you anything about their maturity. I don’t think CLI and GUI applications are the only …
