Another thread here mentioned SQLite. Can you say more about why/how you are using postgres.js? I use pocketbase a lot and am curious how your stack handles auth, login, etc?

Does small claims court work in some states and not other ones? I'm assuming you are us based? And my understanding was that small claims courts are very different in each state.

I don't think you can. All virtualized MacOS machines, iirc, can't fully install the tools necessary to build software for MacOS. For example, I don't believe you will ever be able to sign and staple the app. I would really l

When we started working together I suggested a six month trial, and he said let's do 12 months. That role was perfect and I had the skills for it. 6 months in his business priorities changed, so he pushed me into a new role. Then, at t

"Tinkering neutral" is a terrific phrase. I feel like the world of software can probably be divided into the same moral classes as D&D, with M$ as Chaotic Evil (sorry M$!), Google as Chaotic Good (or would it be Lawful Evil? P

Is this a model that can be run using Simon Wilison's LLM tool? I cannot find any mention of Mixtral in the issues nor in the discussions. Is there an easy way to play with this model from the command line other than that?
