The reason they dipped in terms of planes is directly related to sanctions and western countries pulling out based on the article you shared. Worth noting, the foreign parts Sukhoi Superjet 100 (a very good regional jet) are in the process

Derp, I had to turn on iCloud syncing. Working great now!
933.
by cpursley 2y ago
Yeah, and they suck. I have a folder on my iPhone called "iCrap" as most of Apples native apps are hot garbage.

by cpursley 2y ago
This is neat but I can't seem to get the desktop version to sync - I even upgraded iCloud.

You can do async right in the runtime that takes advantage of all threads.

tl;dr: should have used Erlang/Elixir as well as our customers.

This is really nice. Your project?

And that's after a pretty debilitating stroke.

Thanks, just added Pongo to the NoSQL section of my "Postgres Is Enough" gist: https://gist.github.com/cpursley/c8fb81fe8a7e5df038158bdfe0f...

Ironically, AI still sucks at accurately parsing PDFs.

Yeah, I don’t know why their API is inferior to the UI. Pretty disappointing. I’ve had better luck with my own “clone” that makes a web search and summarizes the results into an answer.

Looks great but why dependency and lock in to a specific cloud provider?

If starting off with Elixir and Postgres from the get-go, all this could have been avoided - including the async pains. Said another way: don’t write you backend in JS and just use Postgres.

It’s really too bad this is using proprietary tooling like Firebase (like Supabase with Postgres).

10 years? You mean 38 years. And Elixir (a language on top of Erlang) has had solid adoption and is very easy for beginners. https://joyofelixir.com/

Exactly, I've commented many times on here that at least half the show hn posts (like Hatchet from yesterday) are just overlycomplex implementations of features that have existed on the beam for decades. Or at least already in the Erla

I'm really interested in learning more about this (multimodal LLM + OCR approach for PDFs), do you have a writeup anywhere or something open source?
951.
by cpursley 2y ago
Exactly, like the Netherlands and Denmark…

Well that makes you related to my wife, who’s part Komi (her father’s first language). But even they're not butthurt about what the Russians did to them - it was a long time ago. And actually, the Soviets made an effort to preserve the

Do NOT put words into my mouth about what I consider slavery or not (or anything, unless I explicitly write it). Yeah, Slav serfdom was shitty as was Russian Imperialism. And American Imperialism, British Imperialism and so-on. And I'm

What's your nationality? Because it is absolutely relevant . If you don't employ some empathy and self-reflection of your own history when judging the historical actions of others, you literally get no say in the matter.

And btw, the fact that Circassia itself was the result of the westward expansion of a Persian speaking people who also subjected other cultures (not to mention were big slavers) just shows that you have literally no idea what you're ta

I’m well aware of the Mountain of Tongues and Circassia, having traveled that region extensively (including Adygea) and read a number of history books about it. My country (America) had their own colonial project around that same time perio

Consider yourself lucky for being from a country that never bombed anyone. Mine killed about 4 million (mostly women and children) in the ME over the last 30 years, and are still at it by helping their friends pound Palestine into smitheree

Wait, are you agreeing that Russians aren't humans?

by cpursley 2y ago
Oh please, Levada? lol. I understand there's a big psyops push to dehumanize Russians right now, but they are people like the rest of us. Crazy, right?

by cpursley 2y ago
I'm from the US South and am well traveled in Europe and Russia, including minority Russian republics like Adygea. In my experience, Russians are way less racist than Americans and Western Europeans - I almost never heard a racist word
