Not an apples to apples comparison#. iOS uses way less ram than android, plus has memory compression. That’s why Apple gets away with less ram and much smaller batteries with equal…

It works great for a number of reasons - it’s functional making it much easier to reason about for LLMs (eg no side effects) - it’s compiled (including the html template), so the L…

I disagree with that conclusion. I see tailwind as a cleaner more succinct version of css that is much easier to manage and add features too. Sure it’s not as dry, but I’ve been bi…

Unsure how true that is. Google cloud is tiny compared to aws for a reason. It matters. People will switch if you piss them off.

But how? In the states you can’t even take legal action but are forced into arbitration?

Munich is a bad example - they were effectively „bought out“ by Microsoft by investing hugely into the local economy in the form of offices and employees. It was also two parties t…

Had similar thoughts until googling what the cheapest Chromebook on Amazon costs: $139. I’d still get a Neo and for students it’s probably the right choice - chromebooks are just a…

Tidewave.ai does exactly that. It’s made Claude code so much more functional. It provides mcp servers to - search all your code efficiently - search all documentation for libraries…

They do bin their chips. Across the range (A- and M-series) they have the same chip with fewer / disabled cpu and gpu cores. You pray a premium for ones with more cores. Unsure abo…

All in one of course. That’s the biggest advantage. And why postgres is great - it covers virtually all standard use cases.

Depends on the query and I don’t have exact numbers of the top of my head, but we’re talking low 100ms range for something pgvector itself wasn’t able to handle in a reasonable amo…

I’ve been using this since early this year and it’s been great. It was what convinced me to just stick to Postgres rather than using a dedicated vector db. Only working with 100m o…

Apple probably wouldn’t have changed to usbc for their phones. Lightning was a mobile phone / other development, whilst usbc and its contributions came from their Mac department. T…

The beta has been accessible to the public including the electron devs for 2+ months.

Curious what the better frameworks are these days? Are they tied to specific hardware like arduino was? And what language do they use?

Instagram is the same. Had to install it for a dev project and it was disgusting. Social media just can’t be trusted.

Just do both? Need an adequate network for that though which new school ai vibe entrepreneurs might lack…

I've been using elixir / phoenix / liveview for a year now, basically since LLM coding has been a thing and it's been transformative. The usual "getting started" problems were so d…

No reference here but found this out the hard way too. Google search Ali is Utterly useless in fact and entirely different search results vs using the web. Bing is better. Haven’t …

The question should be the other way around: why mongodb? It’s not ACID compliant so has major down sides…

It’s actually much more that the ozone layer, which filters uv, is much thinner than it was even 60-70 years ago. The ozone layer might be growing again, but at a very slow pace. S…

That’s entirely unfounded. There are more than 100 daily flights between the Bay Area and LA metro. That’s ridiculously high demand. https://simpleflying.com/san-francisco-los-ange…
