And once you start self-hosting, you realise how slow the 'modern' web actually is. I host forgejo on a single NUC with a bunch of other stuff in Proxmox, the page loads in 6ms! Immich is not quite as fast but still a ton faster

I wonder if this is going to push more software to stacks like .Net where you can do most things with zero third-party dependencies. Or, conversely, encourage programming languages to increase the number of features in their standard librar

I was very surprised when I gave them a go after hearing good stuff about them here and on other techy parts of the internet: After using their website and their app for a few hours I pretty much immediately decided to not proceed with them

Definitely! The amount of third-party (non-testing related) dependencies needed for most .NET applications is very manageable and the dependencies themselves (generally) don't come with further third-party dependencies (especially now

It's definitely a gray area in some countries. A few decades ago our family got a 'proper' company with a shop front to install a satellite dish for us. We were then able to watch the Sky Tv from the UK even though we were no

Interesting that it refused to boot. If I have a lower wattage charger connected on booth it shows me that information but I can just press enter to continue. It's just a warning. Maybe it's a bios setting? Workaround is of course

What is the difficulty in getting away from gmail? I did it a few years ago and I simply signed up for Fastmail and had gmail forward all email there. It forwards to a specific e-mail address so I can see if there are still people/comp

If what you are doing is novel then I don't think yolo'ing it will help either. Agents don't do novel. I've even noticed this in meeting summaries produced by AI: A prioritisation meeting? AI's summary is concis

I use the non-Plus version as my work machine (not by choice). It's massive and heavy and feels less snappy than my personal X1 Nano after all the corporate malware uses up most of the CPU and RAM. The screen resolution is also shockin

What annoys me the most is that the information has become much less dense. There's a lot of unnecessary repetition. I feel like I need to feed every article through an LLM just to get a summary of it.

I still have one of those lying around in the draw. It's the backup phone and every time I or my partner needs to use it I am surprised at how well it still works.

I found it completely unreadable, similar to reading code without syntax highlighting. Maybe he should have had AI fix up the grammar/spelling for him...

Which is weird because it's pretty straightforward to work out if you need sunscreen or not: * Is it any month other than May-August? * Is it after 10am or before 4pm? Probably need some sun screen. If you have very l

I have the same specs in my work machine. Task manager takes 10 seconds to load the list of processes. Right-click on the desktop takes about 1.5-2 seconds to show the 'new' context menu. Start menu is actually fast to start d

I am not assuming it to be performant, but if you use this in earnest and the implementation is naive, you'll quickly have a bad time from all the data being copied back and forth. In the end, people program for GPUs not because it&#x2

Are there any details around how the round-trip and exchange of data (CPU<->GPU) is implemented in order to not be a big (partially-hidden) performance hit? e.g. this code seems like it would entirely run on the CPU? print!(&quo

I had the T431s for over a decade as well. Replaced the keyboard (orange juice spillage), screen (upgraded to a higher resolution panel), hdd (to an SSD of course), RAM, Wifi adapter (Wifi 6) as well as the battery. I now use an X1 Nano and

I ran into a similarish issue in C++ (MSVC++) where a small change that improved an error message led to a 10% slowdown. The function was something like: int ReturnAnswerIfCharIsValid(char* c) { if(c == nullptr) throw std::e

I've been using XFCE for several years on 4k screens and I agree that it's not great out of the box. Once you've set it up it works pretty well though. Now if only I could remember what I did to get it working nicely...(lucki

I might give that a go in the future, but in this case it would've been faster for me to just do the work than to coach it for each file. Also as this was an architectural change there are no tests to run until it's done. Everythi

A greenfield project is definitely 'easy mode' for an LLM; especially if the problem area is well understood (and documented). Opus is great and definitely speeds up development even in larger code bases and is reasonably good at

I recently made a tiny utlity app with a single screen, one dropdown and a few lines of text (it makes a single API call to populate the text). According to my phone it's 25MB. There's no assets, not even an app icon. I have no id

Uber very much falls into the category of "useful despite the awful app" for me. It's slow, bloated, buggy and ugly. Probably one of the worst apps running on my phone.

You're getting a lot of flak due to how you started off your comment, but I mostly agree with you. In my opinion there are two kinds of users: 1. Users who use FFmpeg regularly enough to know/understand the parameters. 2. Users wh
