Ignoring the fact that this is clearly not written by a human, it's untrustworthy and the claims are dubious at best. 1. The comparison of vLLM to vLLM.cpp never shows more improvement than a handful of tokens per second. That's l

This has many of the writing tropes of Claude. I'd bet money that much of it is ai-generated, if not all of it. This paragraph alone feels almost entirely Claude's self-congratulatory style of writing: > We are ahead at all six

I love this and agree with it so strongly. But I'm also shaken to my core that there's a $30/mo Neon bill for personal software. Even if it's being used for "slightly larger projects" as well that's a ton

None of this is necessary to avoid js, it just means more form tags. Which, frankly, is entirely reasonable if the only thing you're solving for is wanting to avoid links.

It's not a compute problem. It's a knowledge problem. Even if you can process each parameter individually and re-link the model layers, you need enough information to know what each parameter is for which is necessarily more mem

I'm not disagreeing with you. A button with an action serves neither a website developer nor a web app developer. Neither group pretends they're a native app. The web has fundamental idioms that people have gotten used to for thir

That's really just not true. Easy counterexample: any codec should be written in a memory safe language. Really anything that deals with untrusted input should be memory safe. Your TLS library. A load balancer. Your password manager.

> how would I know I'll be accepted tomorrow This question exists for any service. Unless you host things yourself, there's a baseline amount of trust you have to have in any service.

Man, I feel like we're losing a lot of the people I grew up watching this year. What a bummer.

It sounds like the fee is about $1.00: the delta between $100 and $99.

I'll be honest, I'm not signing up for an account to look at this. The marketing site has zero screenshots. The help center you link has...20 articles total? Few enough that it seems like all of them are listed on the main page. T

Came here to say this. So many of my friends are male nurses. The thing that keeps them from sticking around is the pay. There's only so much crap you can take (literal and metaphorical) for a terrible salary. My housemate worked at UN

As a buyer I don't trust Paypal. They use dark patterns to try to get me to sign in, then make it hard to sign out, and for whatever reason my account is wedged and even though it has the correct payment details, the payments all fail.

Same. I bought a cabin, which had the equivalent of pretty good DSL. I got starlink and immediately cancelled it when 2gbps fiber arrived 9mo later. Fiber is rolling out faster than a lot of people think.

Sure, all change brings risk. But this is change where: 1. The change isn't made by a human. 2. The change wasn't fully reviewed by humans or machines. It's not currently possible for a machine to review the whole thing as on

It's really not even close to being the same. In the best case, a bug means your app crashes on the new version. In the worst case, something more insidious happens like opening a security vulnerability (say, TLS isn't handled cor

The initial state has no bearing on whether the process was responsible or not. That's measuring along a different axis. If the bun rewrite lands and it breaks someone's app, that's bad no matter whether there's more or

It's unknowable, because the PR is unreviewable. The Bun migration PR is larger than any model ever made can fit into context. You just have to pray that test coverage is sufficient to catch all of the possible errors, which it almost

If you're measuring a sloppy project against a well structured one with regard to how many tests fail, that'll bias success towards the sloppy codebase, which likely has worse test coverage and less robust testing in the first pla

Arguably you shouldn't be able to, at least without being qualified to drive it. Just because it's legal doesn't mean someone made the active choice for it to be legal.
