I’m irrationally angry with Mozilla for the way they’ve handled Firefox over the past few years. Clearly we need an independent, safe browser and there are no major alternatives for the common folk. Just let me pay a monthly fee to keep Fir

I’m horribly out of shape and that’s pretty much what I can manage. The question isn’t how fast _should_ I go, but how fast _can_ I go so that I can come back and do it the next day.

Thanks, I was looking for a nice red and green gradient for an app, the one on top looks perfect.

Thank you for the incredibly inspiring work! At a time when 99% of the founders and VCs just want to bank on the next big hype cycle and accumulate power and wealth, it’s good to be reminded that actual life changing work with direct impact

I’d gladly pay for YouTube or other Google services when they offer an option to not track my activity at all. For me it’s not about seeing ads just on YouTube, but being tracked all through the web and still being served inappropriate or s

Genuine questions: why are they calling it “reciprocal”? Is the US just matching the tariffs set by the other countries? Also, this announcement has wiped out any plans of buying tech products this year, plus a holiday to the US and Canada

Tangentially related: is there a good guide or setup scripts to run self hosted Postgres with backups and secondary standby? Like I just want something I can deploy to a VPS/dedicated box for all my side projects. If not is supabase th

Using bun has been a great experience so far. I used to dread setting up typescript/jest/react/webpack for a new project with breaking changes all over the place. With bun, it’s been self contained and painless and it just wo

The timing on when this essay is being published is interesting. Are all the tech billionaires falling in line before the next administration takes over? Also, let this be a lesson that no matter how “brilliant” and rich someone is, they ca

Seems like a great way to write self documenting code which can be optionally used by your python runtime.

It's a no brainer for me cause I already own the MacBook and I don't mind waiting a few extra seconds. Also, I didn't buy the mac for this purpose, it's just my daily device. So yes, I'm sure OpenRouter is cheaper,

They are perfectly fine for certain people. I can run Qwen-2.5-coder 14B on my M2 Max MacBook Pro with 32gb at ~16 tok/sec. At least in my circle, people are budget conscious and would prefer using existing devices rather than pay for

Yep that's what I'm thinking as well. I was going to buy a 5090 mainly to play around with LLM code generation, but this is a worthy option for roughly the same price as building a new PC with a 5090.

I’m not so sure it’s negligible. My anecdotal experience is that since Apple Silicon chips were found to be “ok” enough to run inference with MLX, more non-technical people in my circle have asked me how they can run LLMs on their macs. Sur

Bigger in the sense of the announcements.

I feel this is bigger than the 5x series GPUs. Given the craze around AI/LLMs, this can also potentially eat into Apple’s slice of the enthusiast AI dev segment once the M4 Max/Ultra Mac minis are released. I sure wished I held so

I dread the day I have to eat at US restaurants, or even get something delivered. Part of the reason is cultural: I’ve never lived in a country where a tip is mandatory and you’ll be called out if you don’t. The other reason being it involv

Thanks for the response! Sounds like most of the major issues I’ve had with Elm are being addressed in some way. Will follow your progress and contribute.

This looks great! StretchLab looks like exactly the kind of app I’ve had in mind for a while (thought of using recorded video, but your generated ones are better). Awesome work, you probably have another subscriber.
