    This post is inaccurate at its face but for those who are curious, Canada's GDP is in the low trillions of USD and its growth stagnated (but remained positive) the past several mon…

    This is a bit of a strawman. The parent comment wasn't suggesting that the inherent defects magically disappear nor was it suggesting that local inference today is sufficient for a…

    I didn't read the Ramp article but this reads like a post hoc fallacy. Companies with 2x revenue have money to spend on AI. Companies with 1.15x revenue don't.

    Forgive my ignorance... Usage limits reset for 100% of customers at the same instant?

    Was there a disadvantage to using HAProxy + multiple PGBouncer instances?

    Which is why test generation has to be carefully guided as well, and this is something at which I've incidentally been fast. Ultimately it's a constant battle between LLM handholdi…

    I do not have the burnout but I certainly operate similarly to the author. I continue to be unable to establish a workflow where allowing the LLM to generate code that I review is …

    Taken out of context, you're right. But the parent comment couldn't buy these books even if they wanted to. I'd say there's a consensus that the primary motivation for piracy is hu…

    I'm old-man-yelling-at-the-clouds here. Everyone just uses Cloudflare, which is not a bad thing by itself. But do they _have_ to? Is managing your own edge really that terrifying?

    I want this. It's the reason why every time I shop for desks I look for workbenches. Desks are always TINY and I never understood why.

    This fixation on "importance" is laughable. It is "insane" to drop Gmail because it makes them a shitload of money. That is how corporations work.

    General purpose, mostly internet research in the form of slow-crawling. (Emphasis on slow - I've ultimately landed on Scrapling's API for seamless content rendering, and I use imag…

    I'm using llama.cpp with Gemma and tool calling is mission critical. It's perfectly fine on my end. There are definitely differences in the eagerness to tool-call that you'll need …

    A few days ago I switched again from Qwen3.6 to Gemma 4 - for personal use I've experienced better average performance with the 26B version of the latter than the 27B of the former…

    I'm a huge neal.fun fan but I still worried that this was some scammy LLM coding YouTube clickbait. Love the joystick for mobile users.

    I've always chuckled at this. Just don't used bad HTTP server libraries. I wouldn't put something like that on my intranet either. But even if you disagree with me the point is tha…

    Also, embedded servers are now much much much more popular. Stuff an HTTP server directly into your application and do whatever you gotta do without gateways.
