I'm very grateful that we have a lot of players training LLM's, including several that are published as open models and open weights. I fully expect LLM results to start including ads, but because of the competition I hope/be

I hope most people haven't forgotten about 2008 financial crisis and how it was caused by declining housing prices (and the banks/markets not taking that risk into account)

The economists calculated the value of 1 life. The calculation might be different if it extinguishes the whole of humanity (and thousands of other species). In a way, it also presents all future human lives. Should we include those?

Do you also think that way about buying a house with a mortgage (credit)? I don't. A mortgage isn't used to make more money. It's used so people can own a house after saving for a few years, rather than waiting until they&#x2

Thank you for writing this akoculu. I remember the incident and what stuck me most is how, for me, this was a clear example of a community (Javascript) that depended too much on dependencies (pun somewhat intended) I don't know why so

That would require plugging into the wiring. At that point you no longer need a battery and can just use the car's power.

That's not how accounting works. Companies pay salaries and pay for hardware. They don't make profit so they don't pay taxes. By labeling the salaries as R&D assets and amortizing that over 5 years (instead of taking it c

And with french you also have Tu vs Vous. I am almost at the halfway point of my life expectancy, and I do actually prefer people using my first name over my last name.

EU never just states "you can not have the cool thing". Please provide an example if you disagree. It is very hard to create policies and legislation that protects consumers, workers and privacy while also giving enough liberties

Ooh. I love the voice recordings to solve the mobile/on-the-go flow. In practice, it is often indeed small things. Interesting idea of adding AI via a real-time collaboration plugin. I'll try to keep an eye on it :-)

I'm playing with the idea of using a code editor like Zed.dev for my notes, and using its "AI Agent" flow. I'd move the Obsidian markdown notes into a git repo (for versioning). Which would also open the door to running

I'm curious what your setup looks like. Do you use an IDE like Cursor or Windsurf, an editor like Zed or more directly an agent like Claude Code? Have you used tidewave.ai? The demo from Jose looks fun, but I've yet to play with i

Really cool you built this! Can you elaborate a bit on what you were missing or didn’t like from the other existing open source Trello clones? I’m curious what potentially different choices/trade-offs you made.

Maybe there was a self-conscious "civilization" before the big bang. From my understanding we know very little to nothing about anything before the big bang.

I would like to second (or _third_) this opinion. I've been working with Ruby for 20 years, and I've not needed something like this. This feels like adding a lot of complexity for little practical benefit. The trade-off feels off.

Hadn't thought of it in that way, but there's some merit to that if you include government, police & power in general. Law enforcement needed really high penalties on counterfeiting money and check fraude to make cash and chec

That could already be the case. The initial release is from 1990, so the codebase is at least 35 years old. I don't have a good guess for the average age of software developers at Microsoft, but claude.ai guesses the average "arou

Indeed. Runtime is typically a lot faster than Rails. Response times in dev mode are <1ms which is fun to see coming from Rails :) My personal dev speed however is a little slower in Phoenix than Rails. And I've been using Rails for

Really nice! Thank you for including a youtube video. It's a little unfortunate that you do time cuts between your "prompt" and the response. I'm curious if you were waiting 0.5s or 10s to get the response. I think the u

Splitcast Technology built this in 2012. The company folded (couldn't find revenue, and had founder struggles ) but as far as I remember the tech worked. It still needed a lot of seeding nodes, but a significant chunk of the bandwidth

That's a rather binary view and I disagree that rules always fall in either category. Knowing _why_ a rule exists and what it's trying to prevent/achieve is much more valuable in my opinion. Wether or not to follow or bend a
