I really like the minimalistic style. Very good and to the point. https://foaas.io/legend/foass.io/joss82

That’s the exact opposite impression of my recent user experiences of software: slower than ever. Contrary to what initiatives like the tigerbeetle team is doing with tigerstyle, or the 10 nasa coding rules, code created by llms tends to be

Hi, Parseur founder here :D I understand what they are trying to do, but to me it feels like the moment when MongoDB entered the database space, with semi-structured, "flexible" storage format. It has its uses, for prototyping mos

I've been working on Parseur for the last 10 years, and OCR has not been solved yet, let me tell you. OCR still sucks in 2026. Hopefully this might improve the situation but I haven't tested it yet.

There is no mention of the amount of fuel used to transport the fuel in the article. From what I know it’s a tiny fraction: boats are efficient at transporting stuff (slowly)

That is not what I understood from the article. What I understand is: Fossil fuels are 40% of freight tonnage, but transporting them fuels is responsible for 50% of the total freight fuel consumption. I assume 99% of freight uses fossil sou

Yes, this is also my feeling. It happens for every single Anthropic release. Then I try it on real dev and the result is laughably bad. Except in design where it has been doing a decent job for a while. I am not a designer and my bar is pre

Thank you for this answer, it saved me hours of experimenting. And bonus points for bashing MongoDB, of course. Every single project that I worked on where MongoDB was used, also had MongoDB as the single largest constraint and operations t

Dude. You are marketable as fuck. Don’t live in the hype. Not everyone is drinking the ai cool-aid bottoms up. What do you mean by fastapi being a mistake ?

Are you building the site from the same json files that are used in the game? AIs are still computer programs and are not given the resources to render javascript, so they cannot access the game data from the website. And they obviously don

You are not alone. After falling in love and hacking away with Claude for a few weeks, I'm now in the hangover phase, and barely using any AI at all. AI works well to build boilerplate code and solve easy problems, while confidently dr

Terragon is amazing. I actually ordered a second laptop to be able to work on several Claude Code PRs at the same time, but with this I don't even need the extra laptop! I've been trying it for 24 hours and it's a nice boost

Solar and wind cannot replace base load power. Especially not in Germany. They have to rely on peaker plants even more, and those are burning gas, emitting CO2. And they built more coal power plant units, like Datteln 4: https://

If it’s cooled in an “open cycle”, it means that the water vapor is released in the atmosphere, via these huge aero refrigerators towers. It will eventually fall back down as rain or snow. Water is not a scarce resource in Germany. Shutting

Interesting concept. Let's run the numbers... The largest Q-Max-class gas tanker is 345 meters long [1]. Let's say you manage to fit 3 giant Siemens wind turbines on it, with 100m long blades [2]. It's a bit cramped but let&#

Yes, you are right that playing a game with infinite ammo and health is boring. However, this never happens in the real world: You buy a nice car, then a nice house, then go to nice vacations, eat better, healthier food. Then you realize th

I spent the last few days testing Llama3 on different GPUs, to find the cheapest cost per token. Spoiler: it's the Nvidia L4, surprisingly.

It's a bit like trying to know if a geometric series is going to converge to 0 or diverge towards infinity. If a blunder is a 0, then avoiding blunders is super important. For example if you are in finance or accounting, commiting frau

This only works where the number of moves is finite, and you can only iterate in lockstep with your opponent: tennis and chess are good examples. If you are a startup, you don't have to wait for your competitors to play before making a
