Well, there are definitely people who care about the vision and style of movies from certain directors. It's not so much "story" like plot, but story in the sense of a "brand story" where there's recognizable e

I love using Kindle's as single purpose tablet/interfaces/displays. I'm the weirdo who actually prefers the LCD displays vs eInk and it's incredibly easy to set Kindle Fire's into dev mode which lets you displa

Addendum to this: my filipina aunt is elderly and I was absolutely shocked at the amount of highly specific AI generated content seemingly targeted directly at her on Facebook. Except instead of thirst traps it was a weird mix of outrage po

Having picked up a few long neglected projects in the past year, AI has been tremendous in rapidly shipping quality of dev life stuff like much improved test suites, documenting the existing behavior, handling upgrades to newer framework ve

I have a Stream Deck and made a dedicated button for this. So I tap the button speak and then tap it again and it pastes into wherever my cursor was at. And then I set the button right below that as the enter key so it feels mostly handsoff

I feel the same way, but apparently millions of people are using character.ai?

Kinda sorta the Slate truck - https://www.slate.auto/en Their pitch is to ship a pretty minimal platform that you can customize up as you want it.

I recently dug into this as I was trying to benchmark the possibility of using Gemini Nano (Chrome's built in AI model) vs a server side solution for a sideproject. Nano's stored in localstorage with shared access across sites (be

I'm now letting Claude Code write commits + PRs (for my solo dev stuff), but the benefits have been pretty immense as it's basically Claude keeping a history of it's work that can then be referenced at any time that's al

I think this is probably less effective than if there was some sort of "credit" or reputational score for reporting that seems like something GitHub would have the information to implement.

I have two kids (sophmore in HS and a middle schooler) and in both their individual studies and when I'm helping them with homework we use AI pretty extensively now. The one off stuff is mostly taking a picture of a math problem and as

I still find it to be the case that most 100% cotton shirts shrink over time (even pre-shrunk) and have switched to blends just to get some more longevity out of them.

Unless you hit a performance wall with Postgres or absolutely need Batch capability you've probably got a very large runway with SolidQueue.

I wrote this article about migrating from Redis to SQLite for a particular scenario and the tradeoffs involved. To be clear, I think the most important thing is understanding the performance characteristics of each technology enough that yo

FWIW, Sidekiq docs strongly suggest only passing around primary keys or identifiers for jobs.

I kept making a hacky eval tool to try and compare the outputs of different models, model configs, prompt versions, etc and finally rolled it up into a web app + downloadable app (kind of like Postman or Insomnia, but for AI). Free, holds y

It's great! But what makes it even more so is that it's not a time capsule, but still updated. There's pages for Alien Romulus, the new Predator movies and more.

The Wright Brothers memorial in North Carolina is a very special place. They've renovated it somewhat recently and it now conveys a lot more of the struggle that they went through. So much debugging of prototypes, crashes, redesigns an

Depends on what it is, the quick bash script I write to verify something or the core of SaaS that's being launched have different levels of strictness, style, testing, etc.

This seems very cool, but I'm not sure of the utility of using CF workers for it? Is that just a framework or is this being deployed to the internet?

To try and overcome my own personal tendency towards negative criticism on HN, I try and reframe my comments from "why this won't work" to "how can we make this work". Not a panacea, and I'd be interested to he

I think it might be better framed as "college doesn't seem like it's worth it". Some of this is back of the napkin math of degree costs having risen so much, but also likelihood of using your degree or getting a professi

I think this is one of those things where if you're married (like me) you only have the most peripheral sense of the popularity of these things and if you're single they potentially occupy way too much of your thoughtspace.
