The RTX/DGX Spark, Mac Ultras with 128GB unified ram are all ~$5k. Its still an expensive toy for rich people, it might as well be an H100 for 99.9% of the population (not devs wit…

> For 16GB laptops, Qwen 3.5 9B is the undisputed champ. you can run qwen 3.6 35BA3B on a 12-16GB vram gpu and ot works pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_5pdcD3HY&t=1…

I have no idea why people dont use GCP more. Its made by and for devs unlike the hideous complexity and stupid UI in every layer of AWS. AWS has much bigger mindshare, thats it. Go…

Meta illegally scraped 80TB of data from Anna's archive, Libgen, Zlib etc. I'm sure other tech giants did too. Without paying them a cent, costing these projects $$$ in bandwidth/h…

I've always liked powerlevel10k, or its equivalent tide for fish shell, which I much prefer over bash/zsh. Its fast, async, has everything you need, and is much easier to configure…

even incognito?

Most websites send massive amounts of telemetry data which is never mentioned but somehow MS doing this for Windows/Edge etc, which they fully disclose, always is. e.g. Netflix/You…

Vim style keybindings and navigation is massively overhyped as is vim itself. Cue endless debates about how Vim is the best ever ...... I'm sick and tired of everyone telling me th…

the only part I question is the 'regardless of family wealth'. This is purely 1st world and even here for the middle class and above only. Sure, poor countries are improving, but t…

If this is public I can only imagine what Google has internally. Does DeepMind compete in this space or is it fundamentally different than a llm like Bard? With their massive codeb…

Nodejs solved all this years ago, now we have super fast shared package managers like pnpm, yarn etc, not to mention deno etc, why can't other languages adopt the same system?

Hyperion is literature and art, besides having just as many mind blowing scifi ideas. Its easily my favorite.

the final book has the most infuriating, idiotic and worst character I've read in scifi. She repeatedly makes the worst possible choice, literally is responsible first for humanity…

There will never be a MacBook of Linux or Windows unless the OS is optimized as much as MacOS is to the underlying hardware. Windows is optimized to a high degree and still cannot …

Whatever happened to the WARN lawsuits against Musk? How is he allowed to layoff 40-50% of staff with zero notice?

because JQ is already loaded, and it IS minimal. You could do querySelector(...).addEventListener etc but why would you?

Would be real funny, and fitting, if he demands Twitter switch all servers over to Windows.

there is no far left in the US. The 'left' here would be center/right in most other countries. The right/conservatives are the true evil who are responsible for basically every bad…

also at every level, where you are expected to file forms or deal with any officials, you will be asked to pay some bribe, and there will be 'agents' who offer to do it for you usi…

Musk/Tesla have been selling alpha quality at best and vaporware in reality FSD for a long time. Its never ever going to work as claimed. Its crap software that endangers other peo…

sometimes I think MSFT should buy Everything and replace Windows search with it. There are some plugins that use it for other file managers. But then again, they will almost certai…

Musk doesnt deserve credit for the success of Tesla, if you mean actually providing any leadership or technical skills. I do not work there so obviously I dont know internal detail…

How much work needs to be done to make other frameworks/components/toolsets/React libs ect compatible with Qwik? What is the extra work involved in converting a medium size project…

Musk is a sociopathic pathological liar who's also conservative, the first thing he's likely to do is unban Trump, Along with all the other far right nutcases. Not because he neces…

Theres no way any police reform will hapen as long as we have unions and qualified immunity
