I read babel this year. Not the most memorable book, but an easy one to finish regardless. Nothing so off-putting they I couldn’t finish it. But taste does vary, no reason to push it if you dislike it. De gustibus et coloribus..

I’m not sure this is a completely valid statement. Take Ontario - the most expensive places to live are in Toronto with the most traffic, the cheapest places are more rural without that heavy traffic and thus less pollution.

Yeah EU is not competitive in tech. They missed the boat by.. decades. And the salary of engineers in EU is not good enough to make it attractive either for those who can and want to live abroad. I’m an EU citizen, and think life generally

thank you, appreciate it!

I'm sure you're right, but having worked on both sides of the ocean, I can say that EU companies do keep the privacy angle in mind a bit more. I did work on medical devices though, so I might just have been in a bubble.

We went through an org wide Docker -> Podman migration and it went _relatively_ smooth. Some hiccups along the way but nothing that the SysDev team couldn't overcome.

Interesting, do you have a link to that? I can probably google for it but I'm being lazy. :D

I agree that it might not be enough, but at the moment there also aren't good EU competitors in the cloud space. Good not in the technical sense, but good as in - people would be comfortable putting their eggs in the basket. Plus, hiri

AWS announced that they'd have an EU 'governed' region with only EU citizens working on it. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/establishing-a-europea... . I'm not sure if that'd fully all

In terms of newer browsers, I started playing around with Zen after seeing a post about it on HN some weeks ago. So far, really liking that experience. It's not without bugs (i.e, 'compact mode' shortcut works about 50% of th

Reminds me of the Feynman quote “everything is interesting when you go into it deep enough” (or similar to that). Which I think is related to what you’re saying. Looking more closely at something and paying more attention can both unveil wh

'Vibe' as a word / product was definitely less common though. I kinda doubt that 'VibeVoice' is _not_ a consequence of 'VibeCode'. But I do agree with you in that generally there's probably no negativ

What an odd name to me, becaus "Vibe" is, in my mind, equal to somewhat poor quality. Like "Vibe Coding". But that's probably just some bias from my side.

So, logically, I know this is the case. I can feel it happen to myself, when I use an LLM to generate any kind of work. Although I rarely use it for coding as my job is more at a higher level (designs etc), if I have the LLM write part of a

100% this. Unless a startup is doing something truly novel from a technical point of view, what you really need at the early stages is someone who can glue together CRUD apps. Later you might have to worry about how to make sure your system

Yah, my partner and I decided to try some winter sports this year. We want to learn snowboarding, but let's see if we actually get to do this in practice.

Had no idea! And been living here for some time. That's actually cool, might have to try that :)

Lol, I actually agree on the 'as far as Canada goes'.. but many of us in Toronto aren't Canadian. The winters are pretty bad to me as a foreigner. But to be honest, I'm not as impacted by the cold as I am by the darkness

Yup.. read my original comment :)

Yup that’s the browser I am using as well.

I guess it’s supposed to start on mouse move (based on skimming the source code). On a phone it doesn’t seem to trigger unless I changed the background so I spent a minute just staring at the symbol without anything happening lol :D

Yup fair point, it’s been some time. Although vibe coding is more “miss” than “hit” for me.

Yah I guess the delineation is fuzzier, not exactly a single “Rubicon” moment. But you can usually find multiple “starting points” for any event. For the republic, the crossing of the Rubicon is when it failed. But really even the first tri

Yah, that’s a fair point. I had assumed it’d remain relatively similar given that the training data would be smaller for languages like Haskell versus languages like Python & JavaScript.

100% this. I tried haskelling with LLMs and it’s performance is worse compared to Go. Although in fairness this was a year ago on GPT 3.5 IIRC

This is an incredibly naive take in trying to postulate the US as a better place to live, and genuinely makes me curious how much you’ve actually seen of EU. Quality of life, by a number of metrics like HDI, is higher in (Western) European

I guess the outlandish claim is that it’s industry leading while it’s not, as other GPUs outperform it.
