I found that (like many things) it's impossible to talk about the HK protest (and somewhat HK future) on the internet. Aside from the obvious trolls, the misinformed and those with a vested interest in pushing a narrative, the protest

Openrouter is useful for quickly testing various models with just one API. In development, it's useful. I would not run it in production tho' for all the caveat mentioned. Go to the first party provider directly, it's cheaper

The limitation with ghost leeching is that it won't help raise your ratio. It's a way to avoid decreasing it (by never reporting download). If your ratio is bad and for reasons you want to increase it, you will have to generate up

For me, the speed is the least interesting part of `uv`. What I like about it is what it bundle into a single bin : Managing installed python version, automatically creating local .venv for the project (I don't like software like pipen

Another cool thing about BLAKE3 is that it is a merkle tree. Not only it allows for good parallelism, but it also has a lot of cool property for data transfer. For example, you can check for partial validity, which allow for streaming error

Feels like an impossible project that will end up being 5% of what was advertised (the 5% being what was actually planned all along), but is made with folie des grandeurs to pump a stock who's hype has died down.

Took a look and when I got there, the first post was about bitcoin, the second was an add for a cryptocurrency app, the next one was about nostr and bitcoin. The fourth was actually unrelated to either ! But then it was crypto or nostr agai

I am not saying this is the case here. I don't know DHH much, and I don't really care for the whole situation. But using and fronting 'openness' (especially around the 'no-politics', which is political, thing)

This is also a very common way to write (hence why LLM tend to regurgitate it so much).

To be fair to Go, it is a very common "rule of thumb" for a lot of software that do parallelism to spawn as much thread as there are cores. A lot of library and software in various languages do this. This is used to be safe 99% pe

To be fair, I think it's pretty hard as an AI company to secure your top worker right now unless you have a significant equity compensation. Once your name is known, and you can say you are/were "top AI researcher at OpenAI&#
