This is neat, might give it a spin. I've had little luck getting good results from AI bots no matter how grounded they are with good quality context and examples. I actually decided to just build a dead-simple support chat that pipes i

That's right, South Stream. Thanks!

Turk Stream goes to Turkey, original plans to Bulgarian were canceled.

They started that path to economic suicide by deciding they don't want cheap gas as well as shutting down reactors. Well, depending on your geopolitical beliefs, entire situation was possibility coordinated to get Europe on American LN

But how will they protest if they can't drive and meet up or fly to those green events?

Have you seen what they charge per hour? Let’s just say it’s not Upwork rates.

Was lucky enough to spend a week in Rome this summer, and even that was not enough time (and I've been before, still not enough combined time). It's wild when I hear about people hitting 4 different EU cities in the same time peri

Tell that to Apple, glance inside next time you pass by an Apple Store.

What? It’s the children who get run over by speeding assholes.

Ha, I feel attacked: https://github.com/agoodway/pgflow ^ this one is pretty cool, pgmq does most of the work.

I'm not talking about that, but existing utility tools (in Rust) that can generate MS document format. Perhaps not perfect, but these work today.

Rust or native is objectively more performant and have smaller binaries than these web apps in Halloween costumes…

AI is especially good at ports like this where there’s a known and well tested surface area.

I’m not talking about forking, but using standard libraries and native frameworks instead pretending electron is a desktop app.

Just throw some tokens at the problem. I’ve vibed up a Rust Crux hybrid app that runs well on macOS, iPad and wasm and does some pretty complex xml manipulation and other document work. Absolutely smokes electron and you get native UI. Ref:

I still don’t understand why with all their cash these companies dont redo their apps in Rust or native. They are all so heavy and dog slow. There are already some very fast cross platform (wasm too!) libraries that can do what poppler does

Let me guess, VC funded start with plenty of cash to splash around and play with tech, beef up those resumes?

$73M raised? I like Warp but not enough to pay for it. Somebody please make this VC money thing make sense. I can never get the napkin math to work on 90% of things that come through HN. Is it just a "Money Printer Go Brrr' and ri

Check the benchmarks, hopefully even more JS slop is converted to Rust for the sake of humanity.

Yes, people were more mentally resilient and mature then and it was pre Reddit, which has completely broken and warped many people’s minds.

What I'm saying is pick transportable tech from day 1 so you can easily move if they shut down, hike prices, decide they don't like you, etc.

by cpursley 21d ago
Yep, lock into some vendor from day 1. Great idea!

Even without the subsidies, at this point, they’re arguably making better cars.

People have bent themselves into some pretty amusing mental places over Musk.

So have the AI build a hybrid Crux, Windows and web app with shared Rust base.

As if Biden didn’t also explode the debt while in office. This is a bi-partisan issue.

Really? Hum, maybe it’s the political and economic capital? What’s so special about Kiev, Paris?

Chernihiv is 280 miles, I was off my a bit. Kaliningrad is not the concern. Sevastopol is a different type of concern (navy power). Russia has a long insecurity about its western boarder going back way before Putin, no leadership there unle

Gosh, now I wonder why they would have possibly intervened at that particular time. No geopolitical analysts anywhere could have ever predicted the reaction of Russia to the possibility of Sevastopol becoming a NATO Naval base and US forwar

What do you mean “we can’t tell”? For those who aren’t aware, the war against Iran (direct, they don’t have nukes yet) and Russia (via Ukraine proxy, Russia has nukes) as well as Venezuela (infiltrate their power structure and bribe off) ar
