i have gfiber 8gb put in my house. a cost-effective high performance setup im using is unifi cloud gateway fiber + 2x microtik CRS305 SFP+ (for all my other 10G devices) + 2x unifi…

I have preferred rust for many years now, but we’ll be using models spitting out 500-1500 or more tokens/sec soon and rust compile times are glacially slow (while go is almost inst…

I built rstructor, a Rust library for structured LLM outputs. It's like Python's Instructor/Pydantic, but with the power and type-safety of Rust. You define your data models as Rus…

sure. could definitely add that if someone needs it. thx for sharing!

j/c but why are we still maxing out at 1gb ethernet connections? why have the speeds essentially not progressed in 20 years? you can get a 40gb connection by just using usb-c on mo…

Typically I like to read HN comments for insightful discourse focused on details of the topic at hand by relevant experts. It is a terrible failing of HN that this useless comment …

vitalik and the ethereum foundation hold less than 0.5% of the eth supply.

I once had a fender bender in a Tesla that cost 20k to fix (back in 2016). Downside of not having 3rd parties making the parts.

Yes, it was fractional (in the sense there wasn’t enough gold to redeem), but the peg held. Economies grow much faster than gold reserves! The US still has the most gold in the wor…

the ironic thing is that the US did tons of direct check-type helicopter money and yet our growth is healthier and more robust than anyone else in the world (and the dollar has als…

When I hear it from business leaders, there are three logical reasons 1) exposure to the housing market 2) poor performance by the company (its the economy's fault!) or 3) an excus…

I have two kids under two. It's tough, but i dont personally know any parents that don't have a ton of fun with their kids. I love spending time with my 2 year-old. We have tons of…

I generally agree that no one that isnt a professional devops person (or has spent months tuning IAM and route53 policies) should be using AWS. That said, GCP is so much easier to …

Sam Walton was about 45 when he started walmart. I've made career pivots several times, most recently this year, at age ~39. Just do whatever you're interested in... major pivots r…

They would be paying CP issuers with USD out of a bank account (the same USD used for creation/redemption of USDT).
