    Was this announced beforehand? How do you double prices for customers so abruptly with no transition period?

    I'm always skeptical because you can make it pass the benchmarks, then you use it and it is not practically useful unlike an extremely general model. Cool work though, really excit…

    Show HN: Gcrunner – Run GitHub Actions on Google Cloud VMs

    GitHub Actions is notoriously expensive, especially for larger runners. This tool deploys into your Google Cloud instance and runs ephemeral VMs for GitHub Actions jobs. That way y…

    Yeah I agree with this. I will try to use it in earnest on my next project. That metric is the key piece. I don't know the right way to build an automated metric for a lot of the s…

    I think the real problem with using DSPy is that many of the problems people are trying to solve with LLMs (agents, chat) don't have an obvious path to evaluate. You have to really…

    I've used browser rendering at work and it's quite nice. Most solutions in the crawling space are kind of scummy and designed for side-stepping robots.txt and not being a good citi…

    This model is probably really strange to people who haven't spent a ton of time working in something like Clojure.

    Turso offers a cloud-hosted sqlite product. The idea is you can easily spin up per-tenant databases and have a "serverless" sqlite interface. It feels like it has a lot of the same…

    Lots of companies have automations with Zapier etc. to upload things like invoices or other documents directly to notion. Or someone gets emailed a document with an exploit and the…

    Those WAL entries streamed to object storage I think are just for backups. Each DO is globally unique (there's one DO with a given id running anywhere) and runs sqlite on its own l…

    I'm imagining your poor 90 year old aunt playing this wild game of Simon says with you and having no idea what's going on. Maybe just ask the cousin not to send any more money?

    I don't disagree it is unsustainable, I'm really trying to be more precise about whether anyone is getting value out of the tools. I'm just really skeptical that nobody is getting …

    I always find it really strange when articles like this claim nobody is paying for generative AI. I can't find reliable stats on this but there are at least a million ChatGPT Plus …

    I think the discussion around "exponentials" with top-end LLM (think 3.5 sonnet, gpt-4 not the smaller models) scaling is really pointless. The heuristic we have for what to expect…
