Should’ve been more clear. You can now buy chocolate that is marketed as “dark chocolate” but has similar sugar content to milk chocolate. Manufacturers have adapted to our buying behaviour.

Given how personal browsing history can be this is a great use case for local LLMs. I would love for Mozilla to deliver on this.

Small price to pay if you have a JVM team already. Most programmers (HN is a bubble) hate learning new languages.

I think the design could have been simpler with Kafka (which they touched on briefly): - Write counter changes to a Kafka topic with many partitions. The partition key is derived from the counter name. - Use Kafka connect to push all counte

Kamala dominated Trump in their debate, but clearly it didn’t matter.

by fire_lake 2y ago
I suppose it depends how much you take Trump at his word. Does he really intend to do the things he says he will or it just fun rhetoric for the base?
