This is actually a great summary of Zig. I am with the author: I am too old and stupid to use Rust properly. Whenever I watch someone like Gjengset write Rust, I realize I am doing it wrong.

There aren’t that many people like Mitchell. He exited Hashicorp and most people would just do typical Zuck things. For him to still have motivation to make Ghostty from scratch and Zig of all things. The guy is a coder through and through.

You can go one step further and make this a time-series. Costs skyrocketing. Quality of care actually going down across the country but especially in rural settings. Provider satisfaction plummeting. No one is happy…except greedy executives

It actually doesn’t incentivize innovation. That’s the biggest scam in healthcare. If it actually led to innovations and notable uptick in quality, other countries would have done the same. The whole argument is so flawed it makes my brain

They rather give kids $6.25B going straight to SPX than build schools. At some point, the billionaires realized it’s best to keep Americans uneducated. They then turn around and hire all the immigrants and complain why there are so many of

No one dares to question Apple’s culture. Perhaps something is rotten inside. The same people who milked iPhone for 14 years. But they got Vision Pro a full year after Meta proved that’s a dead end. What a joke of corporate leadership.

Boston is seeing some headwind especially from slowdown in biotech, the main driver of growth over the past decade or so. Rents are also down. However, worth noting supply is still constrained especially if you exclude replacement-ready hom

What’s admirable is that you’ve actually applied to jobs below your pay grade. Most people won’t because doing that grind in your 40s is actually hard especially if you have kids.

Tekserve in the 90s was a special place.

It works if you figure out a way to have a permanent dark/light side. But really the issue is that we can do compute with light/photon and radiation and not much has been done in those areas.

College is still worth it for maybe the top 100 schools especially well-funded state schools. Why? Because people still get hired based on such a connection alone. Think about Waterloo. It’s a mediocre school with a strong pipeline to SV. Y

On top, when you get locked into Google Cloud, you’re effectively at the mercy of their engineers to optimize and troubleshoot. Do you think Google will help their potential competitors before they help themselves? Highly unlikely consideri

They literally gave away their secret sauce to OpenAI and pretended like it wasn’t a big opportunity.

by lvl155 11mo ago
And they forgot to pay those people so most of them left.

Right because people would love to get locked into another even more expensive platform.

Copilot on Opencode is not good. It’s all over the place which is a shame because Copilot is one of the best values.

They barely caught up after leaking talent for the past 4-5 years. I am not drinking the koolaid. A lot of talented people are going back home to China. I am 99% the next Google will come out of Asia.

Gemini CLI sucks. Just use Opencode if you have to use Gemini. They need to rebuild the CLI just as OAI did with Codex.

I don’t think LLM leader is going to come out of this AI race on top. OpenAI is like Yahoo! in my view. They were there in the beginning and led by default. Someone somewhere will be the Google of this era. It won’t be LLM but the next step

Always make backups to HDD and cloud (and possibly tape if you are a data nut).

You have LLMs but you also need to model actual intelligence, not its derivative. Reasoning models are not it.

80-90% of the teachers are not equipped to handle AI in the classrooms. You can’t expect teachers to know the SOTA that’s rapidly changing. And at the same time punish students from using available tools. Especially in public schools, teach

This is purely price gouging because these rams are not ECC and server grade.

I really don’t understand the hype around Gemini. Opus/Sonnet/GPT are much better for agentic workflows. Seems people get hyped for the first few days. It also has a lot to do with Claude code and Codex.

Do what’s best for your son. There’s nothing that will overcome that guilt. Not saying what’s best for your son is for you to reveal the truth now or later. That’s entirely situational and only you know.

It’s because their cogs is basically same. They are vertically integrated.

Just a small note worth mentioning: McD do not buy things from anyone. They literally do it all from scratch. Vertically integrated.

You just listed eggs, pork and chicken. They will run you way over $0.50 a plate. Even if you shop at absolute dirt cheap groceries, it’s more like $4-5 per plate when you factor in all the costs not including labor.

It’s always surprising to me how so many people believe in ideals. Finding love. Living happily thereafter. These are ideals and you’d be truly lucky to have it in your life. One in a billion. Life is ephemeral. We are innately fickle being

This problem is so much worse when you look at server mobo configurations that basically jumped from 8 to 12 slots. Meaning you need 50% more sticks to saturate versus Epyc 7003/2. I was hoping to build a Genoa-X server for compute and
