I’ve been vibe coding so much I didn’t even remember how useful this could be

I used DallE and Anki to teach my son to read. I'm not sure the HN crowd will be wowed by old tech, but this post leaves techs to the agents, and deals with the emotional aspects o…

I haven’t had major issues with sccs yet. The linter enforces forward references so the cycle pain we do have is with dynamic/deffered imports, and it’s usually solved by splitting…

Not IAC, but I’ve been doing a similar trick to sequence adding type annotations to python code, Eg take the module graph, break the SCCs in a similar manner , then take a reverese…

Hi HN, I’m wrapping up a role where I spent a significant amount of time writing Triton kernels. It’s a fantastic tool, but the learning curve has some sharp edges. I wanted to sha…

You can do both ways but the latter is the more useful one. Duckdb is designed to read the data very fast and to operate on it fast. So you load a csv/json/parquet and then “create…

Oh just took a look at the release notes, the new ability to write hive partitioned data with the partition by clause makes etl stuff much easier

I use Duckdb as a data scientist / analyst. It’s amazing for working with large data locally, because it is very fast and there is almost 0 overhead for use. For example, I helped …

Postgres implements this[0] as well, and it's really wonderful. It doesn't give a human the search experience they are used to, but for the superhuman who can write regex , this be…

I'm a native Hebrew speaker, where we have wild word morphology, and also worked on NLP at a large bank where we trained models to anlyze Bloomberg chats (that are almost english b…

I used this channel and it was so frustrating it might not as well have existed . While the stripe team is always nice and the tech support is great, when I had a much less sever c…

I built LightTag and eventually sold it. In my experience , at lower price points ( Once you go up in price point it becomes a bigger issue, I had many deals die when they realized…

I came to the same conclusion on business models. I wish there was a way to know if that’s it, or is my imagination/knowledge restricted. I keep thinking of this quote I heard “Whe…

It’s been a long time since I touched c++, so pardon my naïveté. I’d have assumed that optimized thread pools were a done thing. What’s new here and why was there a gap ?

I think you should clarify your goal. If you want to learn coding and specifically Django then this is a good project. If you just want a blog there are other tools that are easier…

My knee-jerk reaction is "cookie banners"

I used to use redux-orm which offered a similar promise. This library looks seems more mature and thought out, kudos! My app is still alive and kicking and I ended up implementing …

Keeping with the theme of insider experience, you might want to reach out for companies doing auditing, fraud detection etc. A domain expert who knows ML is a hot find

I remember windows 95 made a sound when it started. Maybe now that boots are fast there is no need to notify a user who may have focused on something else while waiting ?

I worked at Citi for a while and this pain sounds familiar. It once took me 6 months of hounding an MD to get approval for my app to connect to a particular database. It sounds lik…

Could you elaborate, im interested in understanding your perspective but couldn’t follow it. In my mind , uptick in coal usage was directly caused by a decrease in wind power produ…
