I still can’t get over that the UK arrests people over social media posts. Is the US the only place on the planet that actually has free speech?

This post in particular helped me fix seo as well for https://appraisalinbox.com (the design still needs a lot of love). These days I'd probably start off using astro for a static site. They've got a docs starter, too.

Because that's another thing to set up, operate and pay for.

Cutting branches sounds a whole lot like git ;)

Despite not liking JavaScript as a language nor the Node runtime, learning about hybrid static and SSR apps with Astro.js - I have to say, I’m impressed so far. Seems like a sweet spot for certain types of sites.

Any source for this? He hasn’t lived in Russia for a decade. From what I understand the reason he left is because he refused to give them access. He’d prob be arrested there at the airport as well. I’m guessing you’re in SMS-land (USofA) wh

Great post - the comparison to specific tech was really useful. Just added it to my "Postgres Is Enough" gist: https://gist.github.com/cpursley/c8fb81fe8a7e5df038158bdfe0f...

Please don't turn hn into reddit with the political cheap-shots ruining every thread. The situation is much more complex than red vs. blue and insta-divisiveness won't help us resolve them.

Woah, this is neat - insane that it can handle extensions. Just added a new section to my "Postgres Is Enough" gist: https://gist.github.com/cpursley/c8fb81fe8a7e5df038158bdfe0f...

Most mature web frameworks (ie, not Janky JavaScript stacks) handle this either out of the box or by pulling in a popular community library. The benefits are no separate service to run and operate and the user model being directly tied to t

Yeah, but those are separate things to learn and operate.

I haven't used LLMs but am using a hybrid approach with pg_vector: https://github.com/agoodway/vecto (some useful links in the README). One way that comes to mind is using LLMs is to re-write the query before shov

The 3rd parties don't control the inputs.

Yeah, the header stuff (and empty cells) for tables needs some work.

I looked into this but the html this thing outputs is a noisy mess.

Is anyone actually having success with this approach? If so, how and with what models (and prompts)?

Claude is truly incredible but I'm so tired of the JavaScript bloat everywhere. Just why. Both theirs and ChatGPTs UIs are hot garbage when it comes to performance (I constantly have to clear my cache and have even relegated them to a

What's your RAG approach? Dump everything into the model, chunk text and retrieve via vector store or something else?

I’m always amused that the solution proposed to the JS framework dumpsterfire is always another JS framework dumpsterfire. Instead of something sane like good ole MVC Rails or even cutting edge like Phoenix LiveView. Like, hello, earth to H

Any source for their reserve run-down?

This is an interesting idea. How do you handle the situation with retired/fixed income people (say, who are retirement age and paid off their mortgage and trying to keep expenses low)?
928.
by cpursley 2y ago
The problem is, ultra-rich people don't pay income taxes because they don't have incomes. And they type of income earners who earn high are often those who spend years studying for no/low pay like doctors, lawyers (yeah, yeah

Why would they need to borrow when they can continue to sell commodities (which the EU and US continue to buy, btw)? Besides, there's no indication that they are running out of reserves. Wasn't one of Putins first moves to get off

It's 6% which is not a dealbreaker for a country with one of the lowest GDP to Debt ratios (assuming the war does not stretch for another 5 years). https://carnegieendowment.org/russia-eurasia/politika/2023&#x
