So you’re saying the equivalent of managing solar panels is the same as what I’d pay monthly? That’s the first I’ve ever heard this stat. Right now I pay about $180 a month for electricity. So let’s round it to $2,000 a year. If I got solar

Zuck? If you’re talking about Llama, isn’t that irrelevant cuz you run that model on your own infra? Sorry, I might be genuinely missing your point here.

I do understand at some level why some companies would want to block this before the AI companies had enterprise offerings. But why would you block this once there’s a tier that legally protects your data?

I’ve been ruminating on what’s a good tech interview methodology since mine is good at finding junior programmers but not senior ones. But what if we did a 2-3 hour pair programming session where we fix bugs in an open source project? I thi

This is so interesting. How does one go about setting the constraints you see here? Like how do you decide right in the beginning to limit the number of parameters? Or that it's going to run well on smartphone devices? Or that it'

Very interesting... I use Mail.app all the time because I like a unified inbox. But is this one of those "let's build everything in rust since it's super-fast"? (I HOPE so actually). Or is it just another electron app? F

Not necessarily. A SOC2 audit also often has a "Scope" – that can mean that some apps are in-scope for the audit, and some aren't. It might be that this particular app was not ready to be in scope for their audit or observati

We’ve been using LiveView for years now and I still really miss the ergonomics that you get with typescript. A lot of that is going away with better LSP support and better LLM suggestions. But elixir and LiveView are generally great (I LOVE

Right, again my point is, if you're charging 500k for a watch, isn't the market for that watch relatively small (people who have the money + people who care about the watch?) Or are they actually selling, say, a thousand of them?

Indeed. In case I didn't explicitly state it, I was expressing more of a fascination that there are these companies that seem to make high priced luxury items (so they have to be low volume, and likely handmade) but are still large eno

My comment is mostly about journalistic tone and standards since others have already brought up other concerns. Does this opening passage seem professional to anyone? I just found it distracting enough before getting to the controversial pa

I’ve never heard of this company but according to the video below, they’re large enough to have a huge building. How do these economics work? I’m guessing they’re a maker of very expensive low volume products. But are there that many buyers

Yes but do you really believe Deloitte isn’t showering them with bribes and bending the knee to keep these contracts? It’s not about who bends and who doesn’t. They all will. Even Tim Cook who famously wears his politics on his sleeve has c

I had to scale a high profile Wordpress site during the pandemic. It got huge spikes daily during a press conference. It got 150k hits per second. Apart from moving it from windows to Linux, I put it in front of varnish and spent a few hou

Yeah seeing that list is a red flag for me. Seems like a vehicle to attach their names to so those companies can pretend that they’re actually innovating in this space, rather than the usual mediocre services offerings.

I haven’t seen if the article covered this well but smart watches are a great bridge for kids this age where you can get everything you want as far as location tracking, but without all the addiction. We’ve said for years that our kids will

How did you manage to somehow twist the green card lottery into something so harmful sounding? It undermines your other points. Nobody is forcing people to join the lottery. Nobody is in “limbo” against their will. it’s something that has a

I felt the same way in an earlier HN thread a few weeks ago and some suggested tools like Cursor. Cursor has been way way better. And agent mode now makes me feel like there’s something more to this AI coding stuff than just fluff.

Yup. As a founder who outsourced sales early, I have big regrets because it always ended up being me actually making the sales with my network and ability to understand the market. So the regret comes from wasting a lot of money. Always do

Do we even know what percentage of their hosting costs is bandwidth?

But a 50% increase of a relatively small amount is still a relatively small amount. So it helps to show exactly how much more.

Well there are a lot of people that buy pickup trucks in America that aren’t in trades, etc. Ford’s F150 Lightning had a 2 year wait list. So there definitely was a market. I’m not one of these people but just in my circles I had a neighbor

It solved a bunch of problems absolutely nobody asked for, nor cared about. Bulletproof paneling? I mean you can’t make this stuff up. The sharp edges were idiotic. It was absolute hubris over good engineering. They should’ve done what ford

Oversaturation of unoriginal movies and sequels coupled with insanely overpriced tickets and concessions. A huge shock. It costs us (family of 4) nearly $100 to go the movies. And that’s not even counting a meal (only snacks) Or, we can spe

As someone who just adopted Cursor (and MCP) 2-3 weeks ago, Aider seems like a different world. The examples of "create a new simple video game" cause me to glaze over. Do you have a screencast of how you use aider to develop aide

My guess is it's also about enterprise agreements. For many larger enterprises, governments, etc, the barrier to trying these things is to pay for them (new contracts, RFPs, etc). But all of them already have enterprise agreements with
