I generally agree with a16z here, "regulations" are becoming really difficult to deal with. However I find their complaints about government regulation weak compared to what I've seen at most startups. The contractual require

I just built a local-first app called "cluttr". Uses OPFS + WASM to run SQLite and host files. I've had a pretty healthy response to it from HN so I plan to make a desktop app + add PeerJS for file sharing.

These are some REALLY dumb takes... > CrowdStrike could potentially behave as a propaganda arm of the US government by creating “fake hacking stories” which are un-disprovable.They are able to do this due to information asymmetries in so

If anything RCS has shown people will use the encryption buzz word like it's some silver bullet of security. Unless you are the only holder of the key, encryption is typically useless in a hack. Go ask every healthcare breach and they

It's now live at https://cluttr.ai I'm going to write a few blog articles about some of the challenges I've had, and where I'd like to see the tooling of local first to mature.

"Nobody needs IOPS until they need IOPS" I've had to scrub a multi terabyte database of PII before moving to a staging environment, it hurts. With modern data architectures, you may write the same data 4-5 times in its life c

This solutions scales to tens of thousands of images in my testing (probably ~200k or more before searching is too slow). Why use a nuclear bomb when a stick of dynamite is good enough :)

RDS with 256,000 IOPS (the max) on a single primary instance of MariaDB. Of course its not realistic to run a primary DB on a laptop, but the IOPS are extremely expensive in AWS was the point. Offloading expensive queries to a browser is a

Overall I think using SQLite locally to offload database work is incredibly powerful. Given most laptops have an SSD now a days, you can scan an entire 30-100MiB SQLite db in miliseconds. Meanwhile in AWS you would pay $27k a month to have

FWIW if the drug was approved faster, most immunotherapies are very hard to scale. I worked in specialty pharma for 6 years and the ability to expand capacity is very limited, a rock star drug will take 2-5 to reach full production. Sometim

One thing I find funny about this, we are essentially bundling sqlite in probably 30% of applications at this point. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, NodeJS, Dropbox, Teams, Slack, Spotify (basically anything that uses Electron)

This is great, I routinely use sqlite for little tools I build, and I always end up with Node + DB. I actually have an upcoming OSS project where I use sqlite WASM to run a full database in browser and recreate copilot functionality using O

Honestly I am struggling to think of what I am missing. zsh + homebrew are the first installs. Other than that, I don't really miss anything. I bought a Mac after an Ubuntu update broke my Nvidia install on a Dell notebook and I spent

Tiptap is probably the most powerful off the shelf editor. Used it to augment the Moodle content editor for a customer and it worked really well.

I agree it can be good, but it needs to take into account "exceptional" scenarios. e.g. Recently moved and got ATT fiber, got the setup package and set it all up... Nothing. No connection to the fiber. Go outside, see the literall

LG has opt out monitoring, check your menus for it, it defaults to "on" for several models including $1200 OLEDs Just wait until earnings line goes down, then they will make pay to play probably.

This is why I buy my TV and never connect it to the internet. Between the invasive conversation monitoring and ad spots on the menu, it's much better to buy an Apple TV / Nvidia Shield.
