Open with multiple browsers (safari vs chrome) to get more "accurate + glanceable" rankings. Its using WebGPU as a proxy to estimate system resource. Chrome tends to leverage as mu…

Nice! I've been using deepwiki and loving it! Obviously goggle's gemini powered alternative would be much better and trustworthy. I just hope Google doesn't kill this one as quickl…

To me, AI hype seems to be the most tangible/real hype in a decade. Ever since mobile & cloud era at their peaks in 2012 or 2014, we’ve had Crypto, AR, VR, and now AI. I have some …

How do you think about core business logic (or at least, _significant_ business logic) being embedded within prompts like here: https://github.com/langmanus/langmanus/blob/main/src…

Absolutely! Even for inference! The SOTA models for all commercial purposes need to run on a consumer’s device. Running either Grok2 or DeepSeek or even Llama405b requires nearly 4…

It could be much worse: how many projects simply die because they’re locked away in a corporate basement because some corporate attorney decided it’s “too risky to leak IP” Despite…

Google has become cool again!

I so want Valve to make this

I’m on an H1B visa since 2017. I extended in 2021 and again in 2023 (thanks to approved I-140). But my visa stamp in my passport is from 2017 which expired in 2020. I haven’t made …

The 12 years or so I have lived in America I have observed that people always keep the door open for those walking behind them. Always. Everywhere. DC, Boston, LA, New York, Seattl…

> Or please tell me how to use the magic mouse while it's charging? Am I just holding it wrong? is that really a deal-breaking decision to buy an iMac? Yeah, sure, I agree it's sup…

More than a majority of a software engineer’s time is spent on bug triage, reproducing bugs, simulating constituents in a test, and debugging fixes. Doesn’t matter what the compute…

I cannot agree more! Fish shell is the absolute best! I think I may have switched over to it in 2017 _because_ of Julia's blog. And it has been a boon for my productivity. I set up…

He could visit all the apps in the world from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube to Spotify on the web, right? Of course, he cannot use Friendster or Tumblr or Vine — all great iPad 4 er…

Reading the comments is convincing enough to believe there is no viable business to be built on the mobile web. It's great technology, sure; but not a great business. Mobile web ap…

Why can’t a business be built solely without giving Apple a dime? The web is free — as in freedom and as in gratis. It has a developer tools system funded by hundreds of companies,…

I 100% agree. I'm no Musk stan; in fact, it irks me this dude has so much money & power that he wields for personal benefit (i.e. buys twitter and shuts down @elonjet) and yet acts…

How does one decide what constitutes "basic"? Is a password-manager a "basic" feature? If so, then is "Passwords.app" bundled by Microsoft into Windows an unfair advantage because …

For those of us nerds who like to tinker with language models, I thought of sharing an example ipynb that shows how to build a small gpt (kudos to @karpathy for teaching us minGPT)…

There are only two acceptable solutions to this problem: 1. No error message. Just recover the cached message. 2. The message is deleted There’s a world we live in where ahem-ahem …

That’s a bit too cynical. I agree the nefarious data guzzler of an ad machine is siphoning up that voice data but hey if that’s all they wanted they had Google Fi/Voice etc. This d…

Calculus has never gone out of style ;) Todays ML frameworks grapple with the problem of “jacobian-vector products” & “vector-jacobian product” as a consequence of understanding th…

I agree a hundred percent that domain knowledge is the single most dominant influence to problem solving expertise.

You’re right it’s a total guess. It’s based on my experience in the field. My strong “opinion” here comes from an observation that while calculus may have been a required subject o…

Yeah computer science went through this weird offshoot for 30-40 years where calculus was simply taught because of tradition. It was not really necessary through all of the app dev…
