The use a text file. In all seriousness, calling Postgres’ scalability “not-negotiable for most use cases” is wild.

A) Postgres easily scales to billions of rows without breaking a sweat. After that shard. It’s definitely negotiable.

Inference time compute is still very under utilized in actual AI deployments. Lots of folks are working on foundation models, which require reasoning about broad problem domains. Not enough people are using the same techniques for task-spec

I’ve used it mostly in Toronto and the Bay. I could see smaller cities being worse, but I’m surprised Vancouver isn’t top tier.

I love Apple Maps for navigation. Blows google maps out of the water. Clearer instructions. More awareness of lanes. Generally much better UX. However their business search is barely worth using. Frequently out of date. Missing hours. Revie

No training needed, but you need to generate embeddings for all the content, store it in a vector DB, and wire it up.

> But inference latency just doesn’t seem to matter yet, so the market doesn’t care. This is a very strange statement to make. They are acting like inference today happens with freshly spun up VMs and model access over remote networks (a

Agreed this is a big downside. It rules out go for websites (except maybe the biggest web “apps”) where load time isn’t important. But being able to deploy a Go app to Cloudflare or other wasi runtimes is still really nice to have.

Based on comments here, Azure Trusted Signing with a personal certificate and their GitHub action worked. This blog post below is great. It works through the process, including the truly weird/awful UX choices Azure makes. I archived i

I thought OV still bypassed smart screen and virus false positives from Windows defender? Although I think even OV require HSM now for local, with some options for hosted services like Azure Trusted Signing. But I really don't know. I

Azure looked promising, but their trusted signing service won't issue a cert unless your corp is 3 years old. Doesn't look like you can bring your own keys here.

Does anyone have a windows code signing system they like? Something on GitHub actions ideally. I’m distributing unsigned binaries not because I care about the $200 for a cert, but I don’t want to spend hours figuring out a signing flow.

Anyone figure out how to bind this to CMD-F with key bindings?

by scosman 2y ago
Agreed. I’ve got it installed and the second it has this it’s my new default. Great app, hopefully this comes soon.

You don’t notice the delay of a slow terminal until you use a fast one. After that it’s hard to go back. Typing and tab switching are noticeably faster. But I alscritty/kitty are fast too. It’s more a comparison to terminal.app/it

I’ve used “bashmarks” for this for years: https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks Super handy. This looks like it might be more polished version.

Sometimes. But if you have any real processing to do, it can be hard/impossible to do it quickly in ruby. You end up writing c extensions, or another app server in another language for the hard stuff.

“CPU starvation looks like IO to most eyes” Yes! And add in that you are holding a database connection for longer than needed, putting scaling pressure on your DB, which is the harder thing to scale.

I’ve been coding for 25 years. I don’t need a mentor. I want nice tools when I try yet another language.

Yeah but a global environment is a really bad idea. It’s going to trip up those beginners when second project that requires a different version of pytorch.

Yes yes yes. I have my own formatting preferences, but my desire to not have to think about them or go to meetings debating them is much much greater.

Being new to python, the astral stuff is such a relief. I don’t think experienced python folks realize how much the flexible tooling slows people down, and creates friction for adopters. Setting up my project I tried 3 environment managers,

I installed warp, the LLM terminal and tried to track where it helped. It was crazy helpful for ffmpeg… and not much else.
