bias disclosure: i used to do Android dev and kinda hate the browser personally. i don’t get this take. “Web browser is sandbox by default”. sure, it has to do the rail grind with a rake to access system calls, but in a modern system apps a

i’m seeing this at my corporate software job now. that service that you used to have security and product approval for to even read their Swagger doc has an MCP server you can install with 2 clicks.

the idea of one language to rule them all is very compelling. it’s been promised a lot, and now everyone hates Java. but the truth is that Rust is not meant for everything. UI is an abstraction layer that is very human and dynamic. and i ca

> also it is amazing to me that shells still exist in more-or-less the same form. dear god can I just get a terminal that runs something like Python directly? i’ve been maining `nushell` for about 1.5 years now, and it’s basically this.

well, it’s a few things. a lot of it comes down to reading structured data and scripting. i will often stream logs from k8s or when running a service locally that outputs JSON, and nushell can parse the logs for readability or to find a par

nushell does this by default, sort of. it will show you autocompletes that are relevant to the current directory and will fallback to history more generally. i’m a huge nushell fan. if you can stand a non POSIX shell, it’s great for working

hard disagree. i had an experience just this morning looking for some pictures from an event i participated in, and the infinite scrolling was absolutely infuriating. they didn't have an index to filter on, and when i clicked on a pict

as mentioned in another comment, "scale" is not just horizontal, it's vertical as well. with millions of products (UPCs) across different visual tolerances it's hard to generalize. your annotation method is indeed more e

right, that's how it starts. but the improvements in methodology simply aren't there as the ML sector has been laser focused on generality in modeling (GenAI as it's affectionately known). "at scale" doesn't ju

i mean, labor cost (as in in-store labor) is the target for this cost optimization. unfortunately for the time being labor cost is not as significant as the other costs associated with annotation and dataset curation. technology costs are n

a big problem in the space is that products that look very similar will be clustered in the same section. large models are very good at generalizing, so they may be more attuned to "this is a Christmas thing", but they won't

this might be my first comment here heh. i've worked on a similar product before. there's no way they were turning a profit. they definitely missed stuff all the time even with a ton of sensors. and sensors aren't the only co
