It's why I love React Native and over the air updates. So I don't have to deal with this roulette.

In my experience SVGs are still too hard for LLMs. I gave Fable a jpeg and asked to draw an SVG, using a loop that renders the SVG into an image so Fable can inspect it. Results lo…

I think by default they check out a new connection when obtained a job and then release it. In comparison with some async languages like JS where a connection is only checked when …

My concern is number of database connections. In the example it's 100 fibers per worker, at that rate you are going to exhaust db connections sooner. Happy to be wrong.

I also love them - makes spotting AI written content easier. People debated implementing complex algorithms how to watermark AI content - but luckily AI just settled on it by itsel…

Gemini flash lite family of models currently has the best ratio for price/speed/intelligence for understanding images, no real alternative AFAIK

It's scary relying on Google's models. I have a very price sensitive workload that used to run on flash 2.5 lite - it's deprecated now. The replacement 3.1 flash lite is a lot more…

About the same, using cloudflare. For some very bizarre reason Vertex has a very low non-adjustable quota.

the writing is on the wall for it, I have switched to gemma-4-26b-a4b. At least in benchmarks, it scores higher and is faster.

"You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy them, not join them!"

if I travel and expect to be working I now bring a CO2 meter

If agent is asking a question it means it stumbled on something tricky and often an important architectural decision has to be made. Even if I am staring at the screen at the time,…

Is it possible to use their subscription pricing with Opencode?

many years ago when Hanami was just getting popular I remember doing benchmarks against Rails when it comes to SQL and was unpleasantly surprised when Rails' ActiveRecord ended up …

Not sure what niche it's going to occupy: too expensive for it's intelligence category.

Pleasantly surprised that it costs as GPT 5.5, thank god for the competition.

I found Ruby LLM to be surprisingly good - in terms of usability it's close to Vercel's AI framework. It tries to strike a balance between working out of the box and being flexible…

Love Vite, but always felt sorry for them because it was not clear how they can make money, the whole VoidZero thing felt like a stretch. It's one of those things that always stopp…

I still don't understand how people use git worktrees with Docker. You need a full database and etc. For me it's simpler to have multiple checkouts.

the video on this post looked like a Tiktok - everything is jumping, I could barely grasp what was going on

You may remember the argument that you can build an AI app and it continues to improve as models improve and costs go down? Well, looking at OpenAI / Google / Anthropic we see craz…

Flash family but costs like a Pro. $9 vs $12 for output.

Is it basically about giving as much data as possible to insurance companies?

fair enough, thanks for elaborating
