- AlecSchueler 5mo agoAnd with a more broadly applicable example we could share the link with friends, family and coworkers who aren't on HN.
- amelius 5mo agoYes that was exactly my point :)
- u_fucking_dork 5mo agoBut then it wouldn’t have tickled the HN reader quite the same way and wouldn’t have gotten voted to the top. This doesn’t even need to be a website at all. This is pure slop designed in a pig lab for HN trough.
- Arainach 5mo ago> This doesn’t even need to be a website at all It does, because it allows for quickly sharing a prepared response instead of saying the same thing over and over. It also works because the kind of person this link gets sent to is already used to trusting random websites over their human interactions.

- Mezzie 5mo agoAnd if we don't (like me), I think it can be assumed that we can find out. A basic search tells me they're both ways to speed up applications/projects through memory management and storing of the memory/data in RAM. So the person in the article is asking a co-worker their opinion on which tool they should use for optimization/performance in their project, which is why an LLM response is less helpful than his co-worker's actual thoughts: comparisons of technical tools at a high or feature level are pretty easy to find and the decision of which to use often boils down to project specific variables, so what the author is asking of the co-worker relies on the co-worker's knowledge of their specific project. I could also probably explain this just fine to non-tech people. It wouldn't be the most complete or technically accurate explanation, but it would be fine. Most people write based on their experience and culture.
