I tried using their JS package but it changes every couple of weeks in very breaking ways... on top of that it's a huge package that took up most of my CF Worker's space allowance

Notion and Vercel, back in the day. You'd talk to some engineer at Notion helpig them file a bug and reproduce it, and a week later it'd be fixed. You'd get Guillermo Rausch looking through your project on Github to find what

This is really amazing, but a part of me is really sad this reminds me of the Actionscript 3 Audio API, which I used to build something similar, more than a decade ago while in undergrad. Looking into it, it's kind of crazy it's a

What kind of innovation had competitive advantages in the previous booms? Did building Facebook or Twitter have any inherent technical or competitive moats, or could anyone else also build those at the time?

I wrote a couple of toy FastAPI apps (not production) and I'm happy with Fly.io. Apparently they have lots of downtime issues, but I've never run into them (yet)

All bacterial growth hits "stationary phase" at some point before collapsing, and he seems to miss that most empires and companies do the same.

I'm still surprised by most of my tech/design/startup friends who don't want or like using GPT-4 to get work done or even for small stuff like cooking and planning. We'll be ok.

There are tons of counter-examples to his argument — that successful organizations (and organisms) don't require exponentially unchecked growth. Do those mean either his argument is wrong, or those examples are outliers? (Examples: Mai

curious why this hasn't happened more often? (edit: if it's a real problem and it damages the batteries; I don't have a Tesla so I have no idea)

Does this mean you can store somewhat lossy text/data only as embeddings? Or is that generally a not so good idea...

This is super interesting because you’ll end up with different people with different opinions on “what is the best answer” if they all have different experiences. Most of us when using LLMs feel it should only produce the one correct answer

Why doesn't Github have some kind of policy about projects pretending to be open source and effectively acting as an ad on Github?

So basically it forces the host to make something like… potatoes? Is it edible? Does it taste good? Is this a new way to engineer random plants to make potatoes for us?

This is pretty much what Airtable went through last year, and phased out general file hosting. It'd be nice if either Discord or Airtable let you give an S3 or R2 bucket URL and you can just pay for hosting yourself, without the file

Can these planes still land in somewhat icy and snowy weather? The article mentioned drag chutes and arrestor hooks, but I’d imagine a foot of snow being a problem…
