Gemini changed their rate limits recently and I find the free plan is sufficient for any 'hard' problems that DeepSeek might have trouble with. The combination of the two has reduced my AI spend to $5/month. I agree that it&#

As a "batteries included" framework Qt is undoubtably amazing but I used it on a project recently and it struck me as dated compared to Flutter or React Native. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I had to write a lot of boilerplate

Or the more powerful join(1) which can compare individual columns.

Foldables are a niche market, so that's not a good argument.

I have a small shoulder bag which also holds wet wipes, a bottle of water, raincoat in case it rains etc... can't really go back to just using my pockets now.

I've gone all the way around and came back. The Samsung Fold was awesome and convenient. But carrying an ipad mini and a phone is not that big a deal. It's quite nice that the ipad mini does not have whatsapp or SMS plugged into i

The most quoted line here is "A simple distributional analysis of every rsync release with bug data. No model. No assumptions. Just placement." Not only is it cringe to read, it's also nonsensical ("placement" means

I'd argue that was what made Serenity good - a toy OS that anyone can code anything for. Want to spend ages working on a painting program? Make screensavers? Add drivers for your printer? Port Doom? Improve font support because it soun

For anything but the most trivial change, a prompt is not enough though. There's a long iterative process of generating the right code, reviewing it, testing it, experimenting with UX or design for maintainability, fixing bugs... even

Yeah, what's wrong with that exactly?

What's the point of a colouring book? Once you've coloured your drawing you can't do anything with it. You can display it but you're not showing any real skill. ^ bizarre thought process tbh. Both building it and display

That's because due to modern PWAs (and less modern POST requests and cookies) you can bookmark a URL and it still won't actually work when you try to recall it. It's become a feature for power users. For example, a naive user

They've always been this way. I think until recently Google Maps would refuse to save your home address unless you enabled location history, so you had to type it in every time.

The problem is people equating S&P 500 with "set and forget" investment when that's never what it was. It's an index. You're not paying anyone to balance it with a particular risk profile. There are indexes that

If GPUs appreciate like real estate then we'll probably see game graphics flatten in response. AI will continue to be a money sink no doubt, but if you have a good card in 2026 you're probably fine for gaming for the next 5 years.

On your last point since DeepSeek v4 supports Claude Code's API you can literally set a few environment variables and continue to use Claude Code as a harness. Like you say a combination of frontier and cheaper models is probably the o

Do you think GPUs are going to keep going up in value forever like houses? The current situation (game console price rises years into their lifecycle) is unprecedented and irrelevant to my point. And if you need SOTA then you can sell your

The cost/performance is terrible for higher end cards. In a few years your card is now worth nothing because the lower end cards of the next gen are matching it and there's yet another new SOTA card out. So people end up buying th

So my GPU comparison is pretty apt then. Paying 4-10x to be slightly ahead of the curve.

It's crazy hearing devs on this site claim Claude is 10x better than all other AI solutions. I think it is fomo. Claude $LATEST_VERSION is perceived as the best and anything else is "missing out". New version comes out? Sudde

Yeah not surprising. But if uses the TS test suite and compares output with tsc byte for byte, then an AI banging its head against the wall for a week should get there eventually.

Huge variation in how people prompt and use their models. Vibe coding with ambiguous requirements vs. multiple steps of precise planning are completely different imo

Staying in the same place for decades seems like hell to me too.

From my experience prices have gone up (relative to salaries) however the weaker yen means you won't notice it.

Well you'd hate Japan then since everybody is using PayPay. Which is an app and not even a standard like Google Pay or Apple Pay.

Okay, I'd be curious what phones have support for it enabled. I thought the chips were only installed on iPhones!

Probably more accurate to say the bubble period was the weather condition and the current rate is more of an equilibrium.

$85K vs $60K ...to give you some idea the typical wage in Okinawa for a combini job is about $6/hour. I think the income disparity is larger than those numbers suggest. FWIW Japanese people living there tell me combinis are expensive b

I live in a touristy town so you quickly learn how to weave around people or take the side streets if you want to get anywhere!

7/11 is still 30-50% more expensive than the supermarkets, so irrespective of how affluent people are, it's a poor choice. I used 'exchange rate' because not only is the yen weak, but the USD seems pretty strong - I gues
