My personal conspiracy theory is that they choose who to serve a degraded model to based on social graph analysis and sentiment analysis, maximizing for persuasion while minimizing compute.

This exchange is so funny. That much time around LLMs and no human feedback really seems to have broken that guy's brain.

Interesting - I just spent all day on this on an app which I'm using. My architecture is a little different (probably worse). The app lives on a single OpenBSD server. All user data is stored in /srv/app/[user]. Authenti

Why are you building an operating system on top of a browser?

I'm glad you noticed this, I thought this was a wildly insane thing to do. Its like the satanic inversion of 9P protocol

Wouldn't there be a selection bias, as trucks in parking garages are much less likely to be doing hauling /towing tasks?

It's pretty funny how much truck rage there is here.

Another truck thread on HN, another 150 bad comments about how trucks are pointless.

The Tacoma is the modern equivalent of the 90s Toyota, and while it is certainly bigger, it is not that much bigger. Also, there are a lot of boats, RVs and trailers which my 2019 Tacoma absolutely would not have towed successfully.

Yes, and they're awesome. Also much closer to 100k.

I've never used flamegraphs but would like to know about them. Can you explain more? Or where should I start?

This is how I felt about Bitcoin.

Hey, I was thinking about this same idea lately. What exactly would you want hosted by somebody? I was thinking about what if your "cloud" was more like a tilde.club, with self hosted web services plus a Linux login. What services

org-roam is a very small and stable codebase, worth reading on its own simply for education, but I also find that if you're interested in the internals, it's pretty accessible.

Fascinating! Makes sense that it would have been the inspiration for Rails

Super interesting, I hope I can dig into this at some point!

This looks great, with postgres support I could see myself using this regularly. What is the landscape for simple tools for writing to databases? We used to have Access and simple CRUD tools. I saw a demo of Steve Jobs demoing NextStep wh

The financial incentives of the Chatbots are always going to push people towards increased complexity, as well. The tendency will be for frameworks to become more complex, which will lead to increased LLM use, which will increase complexity

Do you have a solution for keeping files? Or are you all in the cloud?

It is interesting and fascinating to see the growth of Linux. As many have pointed out, The biggest factor is obviously the enshittification of Microsoft. Valve has crept up in gaming. And I think understated is how incredibly nice the tili

I've heard of people doing this and I'm really interested in this. Can you recommend a write up on this or further reading?

This is a very interesting thought. I'm not super experienced with low level audio and basically completely ignorant of telephony. I feel like most people doing audio in music are not working at the low level. Even if they are creating

I'll add in addition - the skeumorphism here is generally pretty functional, you touched on this when you said "everyone is used to them" But the layout of these buttons, while certainly not standard, is generally familiar ac

I'm sad you're getting downvoted. This is objectively uglier Ruby code. Ruby is a gorgeous language, and aesthetics is seemingly not allowed in the conversation. I'm not convinced that the time savings of types exist at all,

I fully agree with this. I'm building a site in OCAML, and I just this week spent 90 minutes debugging some weird error I didn't understand because an implicit type was being pulled through in a global context. It was pretty irrit
