Mistral is not that bad as the comments here suggest. I am not using it as a frontier model but with simple RAG tasks and its doing great. Also OCR is pretty decent. It's a positive development that Europe is at least trying. Alternati

Back when writing 500 lines of code by simply typing it line by line from the "handover" booklet the C64 shipped with. Then running it and it magically made a frog-game appear where you hit "space" and the tongue of the

We are currently moving from heroku to Hetzner. Same story, thousands saved / month.

Local AIs are the future in times of limited resources. This could be the beginning of something big. I like that Apple opens up like this. Hopefully more to come.

> AI tools are currently being sold way below cost to get into the market. That is unsustainable. This is wrong on so many levels. Most companies (including our agency) bet on self hosted "free" LLMs to solve every day problems

In my opinion, all the criticism surrounding Komoot is just envy. The founders worked hard for over 15 years and have now made a well-deserved exit. People are just jealous. Period.

We love it too and so far we could solve any problem with it.

The review process is completely random. One day they accept your app completely, the other day your "iPad screenshot is a strechted iPhone image" or something. Its just frustrating.

We send temporary passwords by email. So we reach two goals: 1. User can Login immediately 2. User email is automatically verified because if the email is invalid, he never receives the temporary password

I can agree with most of the article but consider that not every startup has a sys-admin or can afford one. We are also a startup and we use AWS + heroku because we don't want to focus on setting up a ruby server and handle deployment

I was using Cordova with VUE.js and had fantastic results in both iOs and Android, using "Buefy" as my UI framework. I started with Nativescript and ended up in building a WebView which I then simply included. I haven't teste

Putting your phone next to your Macbook and letting it being charged wirelessly would be an innovation. MagSafe on a phone does not make much sense as it would fly away anyways if you hit it hard. USB-C consistency would also be nice.

What we always forget in this debate is how much energy the web actually already saved through - for example - more efficient logistics, shorter communication ways etc etc This is something we need to consider in the calculation. And lets s

At least here in Germany, this culture seems to be over. It was declining and after Corona, it has changed completely. More and more smaller companies also value that you have family, friends and social life and home office becomes a normal

Also you could easily get rid of the "?n=" param I guess and just build a slug like http://kvak.io/fsf2o1r6yw5

What would help a lot, if you could customize the generated parameter in some way. Together with the password feature noone could "hack" into it anyways.

I agree with the article. For instance, I was using Rails a lot in the past when I was bootstrapping small shitty projects to get a "taste of the user" and validating my ideas. For more complex projects I am using Ruby business or

Interesting concept but I don't think it is practical in an open office environment when you sit next to your colleagues and speak to your browser.

Ok we got it. Websites/Online-Stores and custom coded backends are not "tech" according to the article (much as CDs/Videos are not tech). But still the ways of building these things change every day. UX/UI patterns
