I am also very cautious with people who tell me something impossible when I can trust my engineering skills and get a good sense that there is potentially a good outcome. In my experience, it simply means they don’t know how to do it, or ar

Such a cringy and unpleasant statement... OP is smart to adjust to change. I have hand-written software for the past 30 years, and the moment I stop using my IDE, you’d tell me don’t know what I am doing?? Dude, I probably was writing assem

I’ve enjoyed reading that article a lot. I have used DuckDB as a tool in a code assistant and I am very happy with what I see so far.

With a mortgage, you are forced to save money. In other words you have no way around being disciplined. So yes in theory you could probably make more money with aggressive investing, but chances are most people would risk too much and lose

I am a heavy Claude Code user. I just tried using Codex with 5.4 (as a Plus user I don't have access to 5.5 yet), and it was quite underwhelming. The app stopped regularly much earlier than what I wanted. It also claimed to have fixed

Thanks for this. Can you still use it on heavy rainy days or does it come to a halt?

Good to know. Thank you!

XFinity has been terrible lately, and I have a Starlink Mini. XFinity failed today, and I did fallback for a few hours on the Mini. Connectivity was actually better than fiber. If only it worked when it is cloudy -- for $50 on roaming, that

per ChatGPT, it becomes cost effective (against the $200/mo usage tier) to acquire an RTX 6000 Pro if heavily (+8 hrs/day) after around 2 years (at $0.20/kwh which is lower than cal residential rates). I am interested in alte

From an economic standpoint this is basically machines doing work humans used to do. We’ve already gone through this many times. We built machines that can make stuff orders of magnitude faster than humans, and nobody really argues we shoul

I suspect this is less about when Windows declined and more about individual computing journeys. Early exposure (home, school, work) tends to set a baseline that’s hard to shake.

Most production software is wrappers around existing libraries. The relevant question is whether this wrapper adds operational or usability value, not whether it reimplements OCR. If there are architectural or reliability concerns, it’d be

Thanks for sharing. That would be a nice additional example in .NET with Andy TUI. The library is not Rust but there are a few examples you might be interested in, including a HN client [2] [3]. References: [1] https://github.com

yes, I couldn't tell the difference. What matters to me is to not see the pixels, and the size of the canvas. I am running the XDR at 60% brightness.

yes, someone got it from a family member, and had no use for it, and sold it to me as is. It was brand new, unopened and in original packaging.

I have the Apple 6K 32” Pro Display XDR and a Kuycon 5K 27”. Both are great. Apple was $6,500 and the Chinese version was $400 on EBay plus the $100 stand. Kuycon has more types of input, and a remote. Frame and display quality are on par f

I believe the controversy arises from the notion of “little effort” and critics who have never independently pushed anything to market. It comes across as dismissive and arrogant simply because someone exudes excessive confidence in a limit

Enterprise doesn’t spawn 10,000 containers to perform a simple “hello world” operation. That’s not how it operates. You’d be amazed at how many concurrent requests a single service can handle. This capacity must align with the actual requir

Great work. I miss the speed we had before graphics card were a thing. Everything was literally 100x faster to render. I wish we could bypass graphics card entirely on modern Oses and computers but it looks like it’s not even possible anymo

Labeling them as “wrappers” and “niche business” indicates a strong cognitive bias already. Value can be created on both sides of the equation.

This is anecdotal but here is the truth: I have a home that I bought around 20 years ago in Cali, and the HOA tripled during that time and is now rapidly approaching $700/mo. And that's with less benefits since we lost the earthqu

+1 - I work in finance, and there's no way we're sending our data and code outside the organization. We have our own H100s.

I think you're missing the point entirely. Yes, it's easy to reproduce 5% of the effort. But it doesn't make sense to call the whole 100% of the effort a toy application. Given market pressure, and if it was the case, we&#x27

Why not finish, publish it to the store and get income if it was that straightforward? There's a long way to go between a toy application to demonstrate a product, and something on shelves actually selling. In other words, you can most

I love this kind of project, this is wonderful work. I guess the challenge is to now make it work for general purpose Python. In any case it looks very much like a marketable product already. I would seek financing to see how far this can g
