.NET is huge compared to Dart and every hot reload I've seen was complete garbage compared to what you get in Flutter. Anyone who worked with the mobile .NET and Flutter would see Dart/Flutter DX as something unreachable for .NET,

I mean it remains to be seen if it will be compute or bandwidth bound, I am sure mac ultra will also have double or triple compute as well. But in either case its going to do much better than currently available CPUs with easily upgradeable

Highly depends on how accessible AMD makes these boards, if a lot of OEMs get it there will be good deals for sure. DDR5 prices are nowhere near Apple markups.

But is it really moving that fast ? I suspect most fundamental terms in programming and the variations do not change often. You will always have keywords, built ins and the most popular concepts from libs/frameworks. So it is basically

I really like vivomove looks but after buying lux as a gift for my wife I think I will steer clear. App was bad, syncing issues, she wore it for a while because she liked how it looks but I think she has not charged it in over a year becaus

I wonder if you could get better results if you built a dictionary over entire npm. I suspect most common words could easily be reduced to 16k word index. Would be much faster, dictionary would probably fit in cache, can even optimize it in

Legal system is very often at odds with public perception of justice, changing the law is slow and does shit for people currently in jail - having veto power for elected officials is a good safety mechanism and helps perception of justice.

I like the idea of F# type providers but last time I tried (two years ago) they were pretty shit compared to any mainstream ORM/alternative - has that improved ? Also ORM for simple row selects is a straw-man - their use case is deseri

But how will other people know about this after a while ? If only there was some tech platform where you get to pretend you're better than other people to people that don't care about you. This is the problem we set out to solve

You can check this by comparing Japanese who lived in different countries. I vaguely remember it doesn't hold up, but should be simple to search.

But that's kind of my point - when I was originally working on it - I didn't know there's a more idiomatic approach - why would I copy paste the docs to ask it to improve the results ? Especially given the LLMs tendency to ha

I think people are speculating based on graphs Nvidia has on their product page.

I likr this approach. Read the docs, figure out what you want, get LLM to do the grunt work with all relevant context and review.

by rafaelmn 2y ago
I disagree about search. While LLM can give you an answer faster, good doc (eg. MDN article in CSS example) will : - be way more reliable - probably be up to date on how you should solve it in latest/recommend approach - put you in a p

Feels like data center AI HW demand peak is over now that these things are trickling down to consumers and they are diversifying customers. Also going lower than expected on gaming HW, seems like they have enough fab capacity.
