IDK all of my personal and professional projects involve pushing the SOTA to the absolute limit. Using anything other than the latest OpenAI or Anthropic model is out of the question. Smaller open source models are a bit like 3d printing in

We're not yet to the point where a single PCIe device will get you anything meaningful; IMO 128 GB of ram available to the GPU is essential. So while you don't need a ton of compute on the CPU you do need the ability address multi

It might seem minor, but the little things add up. Make your dev environment mirror prod from the start will save you a bunch of headaches. Then, when you're ready to deploy, there is nothing to change. Even better, stage to a product

Can I attach multiple GPUs to a container?

Oh yeah totally my bill used to be closer to $1000/mo when paying per-token.

I use it as much as my brain can handle and I never exceed my Max plan quota.

Wait, if I am providing essential data to your service, why am I paying you? Perfect opportunity to run a project that benefits it's users (monetarily) if you only did the leg work to market that value to map consumers. And, as a consu

That's definitely a possible future abstraction and one are about the future of technology I'm excited about. First we get to tackle all of the small ideas and side projects we haven't had time to prioritize. Then, we start t

I started using Django before the official 1.0 release and used it almost exclusively for years on web projects. Lately I prefer to mix my own tooling and a couple major packages in for backends (FastAPI, SQLAchemy) that are still heavily i

Rather than having multiple agents running inside of one IDE window, I structure my codebase in a way that is somewhat siloed to facilitate development by multiple agents. This is an obvious and common pattern when you have a front-end and

I'm making an effort to support Open Source projects that I use everyday; much in the way I support creators on YouTube via Patreon with small monthly commitments, so it's a welcome opportunity that GhosTTY has made that easy to a

Once you realize that automated testing gives you a level of confidence throughout iteration that you can't replicate through manual interaction (nor would you want to), you never go back.

The map area for the Southern California service area is absolutely massive. Without traffic, at highway speeds, it would take you almost four hours to travel from the North end to the South end.

Cursor may have had incredible growth, but so many companies are getting into these early and obvious products to enhance developer productivity, I don't think they're going to be dominant (independently at least) for much longer.

You're talking about technology that's only become realistic in the last couple years. Even then, there's probably nothing off-the-shelf that would serve the current need. LAPD has been patrolling with helicopters for decade

Again, I don't speak German, so I'm just watching the video; they have a mix of commodity 1u servers in there as well, so maybe that's their newer stuff?

Hetzner certainly has this cult-like following mostly because of their low cost. I assume it is a recent push toward these kind of open frame, super minimalist, consumer hardware based systems (I don't speak german and didn't tran

Just keep in mind best practice is to use the built-in parameter interpolation that comes with your db library, since it handles escaping SQL injection for you. Be very careful if you ever use bare string formatting to construct your querie

Kudos for making the leap. Your pattern of re-interpreting __doc__ is kinda weird though. Why not just add a `return` statement?

As someone who's used Claude Code daily since the day it was released, the sentiment back then (sooo many months ago) was that the Agent CI coding TUIs were kind of experimental proof-of-concepts. We have seen them be incredibly effect

This is essentially a solved problem. Whenever someone sends me a screenshot that contains any text information (tables, etc), I pass it to an LLM and it correctly interprets the content of it. On modern versions of macOS you can just selec

That saying applies to one thing: drugs. It's not something you can extrapolate across industries. What is a programming language in the first place if not a programer satiating their own need for a better tool?

It's to be expected that HN would have a contrarian take but I find it ironic that the amount of criticism toward technological innovation in an industry that is rooted fundamentally in technological innovation is so common.
