    Awesome project. When I read the display I hear a very specific voice in my head calling out the arrival times! https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2009/news20090309

    And if no one pays for any of that content there will be zero ways to stay informed!

    conversely, what's the purpose of using Codeberg over Github?

    I'd like to hold it, it seems like it might be more one-hand grippable in this form factor.

    I've never transferred data over a wire to or from my iPhone, interesting that this is important for some use cases.

    The article quotes the CEO saying yield is comparable: >TSMC’s new Arizona plant is already comparable with those in Taiwan when it comes to the measure of yield — the amount of go…

    I think it also shows that fabs who only have one customer (ie, Intel) aren't as competitive because they can't provide as much scale and are more sensitive to that customer's succ…

    Possible I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but ollama works well for me for local inference with qwen on my Macbook Pro (32GB).

    Yeah, I think we're over analyzing it in this thread. Seems pretty light hearted and fun.

    I think another generalization people make here is around complexity. Many developers work on apps that just aren't that complex. Glorified CMS's mostly doing CRUD with well establ…

    Yeah this will likely lead to margin compression. The best companies will be fine though, as brand and existing distribution is a huge moat.

    Totally insane, $6.5B acquihire. But also, all stock deal and OpenAI appears to have an unlimited number of investors waiting to give them money if/when needed.

    My understanding is that modern search engines are using embeddings / vector search under the hood. So even if LLM's aren't directly passing a vector to the search engine, my assum…

    Just wonder if it matters? If Google spent 10x as much in the first 5 years of its life would it be a worse company now? Giant TAM, winner takes all (or most?), all that matters is…

    Curious if anyone knows, what legality of using a technique like this? I assume illegal, even though it's just making publicly available API calls?

    Because it’s fun to create things like this in very little time. Some people wake up and play wordle in the morning, I like to spend 15 minutes making something fun and dumb with v…

    There are advertisers who specifically want to reach fans (gamers, tv/movie fans, etc), the name change was to make that ad sale conversation stronger: https://about.fandom.com/med…

    It's usually due to incentives and the time horizon you're optimizing for. If a manager is tasked with maximizing revenue over the next 12 months no matter what, then increasing th…

    It’s a good point, but one thing to consider is that ultra long hard tech might be structurally challenging as well. If fusion requires 100 years of capital and R&D it won’t be via…

    Seems pretty well known at this point that risk-adjusted comp is higher at bigger stable co's. Personally find them boring, so I tend to work at startup/growth companies, where I c…

    The latency is too high for me using the wireless Mac display on Vision Pro. Would be a lot better if we could use that wire...maybe it's possible?

    I think it's just a function of the Apple marketing overselling the passthrough quality and productivity use cases.
