I think many developers worth their salt will argue the same. Cloud is and has always been a shortcut to buying your own hardware. Local models will get better and smaller. Qwen3-coder-next runs on a Spark and is as capable as Sonnet 4.5. B

The dilemma we're battling with here is the morality of avoiding most of your taxes if you can afford to hire the right people to manage your money. Would it still be justified if we replaced "taxes" with "judgement in t

What does “bringing (RSS) back properly” entail in your eyes? It’s still alive. Many sites still use it. Many people still subscribe to those sites. RSS reader apps are still being created to this day.

One unobtrusive ad in the middle of an article isn't going to pay for a journalist and their camera person in a war zone. By "news should be free" I think you probably mean "taxpayer funded".

This is an American-centric POV. I can’t speak for Europe but in many parts of Asia payments are most commonly done as a transfer of digital cash rather than credit. Whether it’s “consumer friendly” is not particularly relevant. People alre

parse.com was my last straw building on "as a service" startups because of this. DaaS is not even particularly good for hobby projects anymore given how easy it is to work with sqlite.

My experience of 100% agentic coding has been roughly the same as yours. That said, starting an agent off on a task has been the single most productive step I have introduced to my workflow in awhile. 95% of the time the code doesn't e

Building an index is easy. Building a fresh index is extremely hard. Ranking an index is hard. It's not just BM25 or cosine similarity. How do you prioritize certain domains over others? How do you rank homepages that typically have no

I’m sure this is great on desktop but lack of mobile support today is kindof a bummer. It doesn’t even degrade gracefully.

I got a $1500 quote to replace a stuck thermostat in my car from my local mechanic. After some Youtubing I was able to replace the part myself with $150 in parts. I got a $5000 quote to fix my AC 2 summers ago and no amount of Youtube was a

There are two paths to KG generation today and both are problematic in their own ways. 1. Natural Language Processing (NLP) 2. LLM NLP is fast but requires a model that is trained on an ontology that works with your data. Once you do, it’

I agree with you but the only time execs were held personally responsible that I can remember is Enron and that was on insider trading charges. There is so much plausible deniability and near unlimited appeals built into the system that it

I’ve had 3 SD cards fail on me in the last year. I now avoid using them as serious long term storage. To be fair, these SD cards were exposed to fairly extreme Texas temperatures. One in a car dashcam, the other in an outdoor camera.

We maintain a list of around 1000 major publishers across the world and we crawl it every 15 minutes. For every other publisher (smaller blogs, etc..), they come through our global crawl. The list itself isn’t particularly hard to maintain.
