That popup at the bottom is gross, and there's a whole screen worth of ads to scroll by as soon as you get rid of it. I'm sorry but your page is a prime example of web enshittification. It's the kind of site I immediately mo

The "message from Warren Buffet" feels a bit slimey. They already have ads on their landing page for the same thing. That extra message comes across like a used car salesman. He could have phrased it to be informative but in a s

I'm talking about the LLM (and any other infrastructure involved). Reasons are: - Pricing. If I grow to do this at scale, I don't want to be paying per-action, per-month, per-token, etc. - Privacy. I don't want my data, sc

Personally I think this approach is flawed because it runs in the cloud. If it were an agent I could run locally I'd be much more interested.

Tried this search: What is an sbert embedding? Google still gave me a better result: https://towardsdatascience.com/sbert-deb3d4aef8a4/ Nevertheless this project looks great and I'd love to see it continue to impr

Yeah, no longer being able to gain permission to access your directory hierarchy feels like it'd be a major roadblock on that platform?

Love to hear more about this: Rolling hash detection of shifted data is no longer supported as this effectively never helped. Instead, scanning and syncing is faster and more efficient without it.

Hi, GPT-x here. Let's delve into my construction together. My "intelligence" comes from patterns learned from vast amounts of text. I'm trained to... oh look it's a butterfly. Clouds are fluffy would you like to

The only reason publishers use those appdata paths for executables is so regular users can install their software without needing an administrator or a UAC prompt, since Microsoft locked down installing to the various Program Files director

This article ends too soon! Show me the techniques and solutions those clever programmers of old came up with. Did I miss a link somewhere to subsequent posts?

They were all trained from the internet. Anecdotally, people are jerks on the internet moreso than in person. That's not to say there aren't warm, empathetic places on the 'net. But on the whole, I think the anonymity and l

The Mr. / Mrs. thing feels like it would be a pretty easy fix, at least to eliminate a lot of the more common cases.

> if you can log in to... Please stop right there. I want a password manager that I fully control, and lives on my own infrastructure (including sync between devices). Not reliance on someone else's cloud.

I still like it to this day for microcontroller projects. It's not that difficult to write code that iterates in chunks and yields now and then. Of course you want to avoid non-finite I/O calls (make use of timeout parameters whe

I love the formatting and coloring on this blog page, it's delightful to read. Like an old school DOS game.

Or just buy the skis and sell them on the used market when you no longer need them. Stop paying the SaaS tax.

I like this quote better: You can put the prototype of something on the road and kill people sometimes because it doesn’t work correctly, and that’s kind of OK? It’s not for me.

That's a fair point. Of course, once upon a time JavaScript was optional, and now it feels like half the web won't work without it. Cookies were optional but now many sites don't even bother with a "Reject All" cho

What if I refuse to buy a device with a secure enclave that I don't have access to? Am I now censored from a chunk of the internet? Is the EU essentially foisting a someone-else-owns-your-keys regime onto their citizens?
