You'll want to turn down your speakers for a few of these. I did not find any volume knob in time for Dune II to finish booting, unfortunately.

Yeah, it’s a false dichotomy. Ironically, even in the advent of LLMs very little has changed here. An off the shelf solution to a problem has always usually been better than buildi…

Wish I didn’t read this cuz now I want redis support too.

Not saying it’s a good pattern, but plenty of things that have been worth installing in the past like Daemon Tools had questionable ads, assumably to fund development. Also, my ad …

The TD Bank securities commitment of 20B to finance the deal and GameStop having a market cap far below the acquisition cost suggests that buying eBay would’ve been very problemati…

Define fine. Tahoe, chrome, electron apps running with pretty much anything else already push things over 4gb when things start to get laggy and usability becomes more problematic,…

I don’t think it’s that straightforward to answer that. They’re both body fonts. Public Sans is a bit wider (as it isn’t geometric) and roboto seems a bit thicker. Besides these bi…

They can say no. These Prisons incentivize inmates to opt in by claiming that prisoners develop employable marketable skills and that the work leaves a a good mark on their record.…

Do you guys do blogs? I’d love to read some insights about that. AI Efficacy aside, there is a clear advantage here to me that I’m surprised others rebuke. Web 2.0 grew into the be…

I have no affiliation or horse in the AI Slop race but wouldn’t mind taking a shot at this. From my ignorant perspective, there are obvious common arguments against optimizing for …

Intellicode being (officially) deprecated will impact VSCodium, yes. I too am more concerned about copilot being further “needed” or required in my VSCode fork. It’s already the bi…

This is why I eat fruity pebbles.

Burry's critique is even more general than that when it comes to tech companies doing accounting fraud. It's his argument as to why "the market doesn't make sense" and his bets hav…

I feel like it's almost more of a Popular stock thing. Consider if pagerduty eked out an empty deal with any one of the "Pop stocks" that had little impact on their real profitabil…

Find a local space for the first thing or focus on something like the startup in particular and real spaces for that. Otherwise don’t succumb to the anecdotal bias

best of n paper

hey Julien. I love the product but the search doesn't seem to be doing the best for me. For example, I looked up Tailwind and got plenty of results but none of them actually involv…

I think the real key to top performance is to learn to get over the aches of practicing and training yourself to get engrossed in a range of subjects. Piano is good practice but I …

looks like it has some more features than alt tab that are usually covered by other programs. quick open like Alfred, hibernation like Franz/Ferdium.

Don't discount yourself; your feedback is true regardless of LLM experience.

best reason? it's laggy on my computer. it's not a good user experience for me. it's clear that a non telemetric solution just performs better, atleast on my end.

Not to mention that the blockchain we're talking about is supposed to get a lot more performant very soon.

We can try to be better. DAOs or some form of self-governing community are a strong option. If done correctly, they can provide the 'manual moderation' needed for these smaller com…

The mechanism is staking. People stake Eth 1.0 to get 2.0 later, along with a bridge to convert Eth 1.0 to 2.0. They can't unstake for a period of time but get decent automatic ret…

I doubt it. Alphabet generates $175B+ in Ad revenue yearly and Apples always looking for ways to increase stock value. Apple recently introduced ways to scan while depersonalizing …
