As a person who changed my name, I think it simply signifies a massive internal, personal shift in identity and self-image; that is usually a characteristic of highly ambitious (aka crazy) people. I don’t think the name Elton John is any “b

Name changes are fairly common for famous people at the top of society, especially those who immigrated. At least 7 US presidents legally changed their name. Trump's family was originally Drumpf. Netanyahu was originally Mileikowsky. O

There are exceptions. For example in fintech or anything in finance that requires trust, you want to seem bigger than you are. In contrast to OP, I’ve lost customers in the early days when they found out I was a solo founder. It’s more “nor

As a business owner that uses Cursor, this is a real risk that I worry about (third parties stealing my code). However, the massive productivity benefit of having access to AI tools far outweighs the risk of them copying my business based o

Huh. So Plato was right. This has many implications for philosophy. Interestingly, the 12th century Platonic-influenced Arab philosopher Ibn Arabi described methods of converting text to numbers (embeddings) and then performing operations o

The problem with trade deficits is that you eventually run out of money. It’s basic math. In what universe can you just keep spending more than your earn?

The entire point of AI agents is to be able to perform actions like humans do. If the “agentic web” requires websites to support new protocols such as MCP, or as this article is proposing, a new payments protocol, then what is the point of

You misunderstood: balanced trade is about the sum across all countries, not necessarily between any two countries. There can be a trade imbalance between NZ and the US without an overall trade deficit in either country. The point is, that

Laravel/Livewire handles it. I have no idea why something like Zod should be the concern for a high level application dev. For a framework dev, sure

If it’s backend only why do JSON shapes need to be continually checked? Can’t you serialize higher level classes or use the database?

by _1tem 1y ago
Any good backend framework (Laravel, Django, Livewire, Rails) does server side validation out of the box without me as a developer needing to manually pass around JSON objects and continually checking their shape. The boundary between user

Interesting, I’ve spent a lot of time over the past couple months researching the options for headless browsers in the cloud for AI agent workloads. What about user-data-dir persistence and infinite long running sessions? What about human-i

As a full stack dev that runs their own SaaS with thousands of users in production, sometimes I get a very pleasant reminder of how many problems I am blissfully unaware of just because I decided not to build an SPA or use JS frontend frame

With the pro subscription I was able to prompt Claude 3.5 to instruct it to create the flashcards with specific question types that I wanted. Worked much better than the standard free auto-flashcard creation.

While I have you, I wanted to share with you an idea that I've had for years to improve SRS systems, that is SRS -> Email Inbox Zero as a brain hack. I tried to build a plugin for Anki but could not make it work. Not sure if it can

Just tried RemNote with their AI-generated cards features and so far looks amazing. They can generate cards from PDFs, webpages and notes.

As a longtime Anki user I just want to say THANK YOU! Just downloaded RemNote for the first time and gave it a spin. I’ve been using Anki for years for language learning (Ukrainian and Russian and Arabic), but also for poetry memorization.

Claude Code is the first AI coding tool that actually worked for me on a small established Laravel codebase in production. It builds full stack features for me requiring only minor tweaks and guidance (and starting all over with new prompts

Not just cold start (another problem you have to worry about with serverless). There's the simple fact that network latency outside of the same datacenter is ALWAYS slow and randomly unpredictable, especially if you have to run multipl

by _1tem 1y ago
I understand there are ways to deal with the problem of latency in serverless, but this is a problem I'd rather not deal with in the first place. The database IS the application, and I would not want to sacrifice speed of the database

One use case I can think of: email string normalization during login. If your string localization is wrong, simple things like login can fail. Edit: another use case: full text case insensitive searching of documents

by _1tem 1y ago
400ms added latency is really bad for user experience. Do a few queries and you’re going to need to add caching. Now you’re spending your precious developer time managing caching invalidation in lots of places instead of just setting up you

Even managed databases are a scam. You can easily get 10x cheaper pricing for the same workload, by, wait for it, installing Postgres yourself on a baremetal machine. Plus you get much better performance, no noisy neighbors, and ability to
