When I deal with datascience, I rarely have type problems in my programs that python typecheckers can't catch. I do have type and dirty data problems of the dataframes/csvs/parquet I'm reading.

Car manufacturers watch the cost of every piece of the bill of materials. Cars compete on price, and the assortment of pieces which add perceived value to consumers. Outside of performance and very highend luxury cars, tires are an aftertho

I have written a couple of eval harnesses to see how well LLMs drive software I have written. Basically I have data analysis software that I need LLMs to write code for. The code is complex, and I want to shape my APIs such that LLMs do a

I'm as anti-car and pro-bike as they come. Cars and trucks are a much bigger danger than e-bikes... But California's clear tiers of ebike regulations are meaningless without enforcement. Over the past half decade blue states hav

I think another factor is that people are rejecting the rounded corners and excessive padding of modern web design, you can't do that in a TUI, so you don't have a designer or standard practice encouraging you to do it. As impleme

I'd be really interested to see SGI on this chart. When did consumer hardware exceed what you could do on an SGI box? I think Sun and HP had some 3d capabilities, but it was mostly aimed at engineering/CAD

Slightly related to the article. I have a personal cargo bike. The most fun that I have with it is giving friends a ride home from a party. People instantly start giggling and laughing. It's goofy, you get stares and people curious

I'm not concerned about making money from it, I just want to use it. I'd like to check to see if I'm re-inventing the wheel. I'm curious if others would like a similar experience.

Has anything like this been built? I want a system that enforces planning, tests, and adversarial review (preferably by a different company's model). This is more for features, less for overall planning, but a similar workflow could b

I’m not running fleets of gpus so I’m not your target market, but can you tell me more about who is doing this type of large scale training outside of companies like anthropic, OpenAI, xai…. The big teams. I’m just curious?

I am getting really tired of github. outages happen that's a given. but on so much stuff they don't even care or try. Github is becoming the bottleneck in my agentic coding workflows. unless I make Claude do it intelligently,

It helps with latency too or schedule padding. Bus schedules are unreliable because of all the stops which slow them down and encourage bunching of busses on a route with a lot of service.

I'd love to read a writeup of the state of Rust GUI and the ecosystem if you could point me at one.

That's a great idea, and I was just thinking about how it would pair with self hosted CI of some type. Basically what I would want is write a commit (because I want to commit early and often) then run the lint (and tests) in a sandboxe

I can't take this comment seriously unless you are buying snow tires. If you have snow tires, and you still can't get where you want in the winter, sure get 4wd. I had a RWD pickup with snow tires and went anywhere I wanted to thr

I wish more programmers would pay attention to how productive power users in different can be with their tools. Look at CAD competitions. I wonder if there are video editting competitions?

I love the listing the number of dependencies in the title. It tells me that serious engineering went into this. I will be incorporating this "feature" into READMEs of my own projects.

I’d love to read about how emissions / fuel economy is causing the oiling problems. Any articles? Would putting an aftermarket oil pump in these modern engines protect them or is it a deeper design issue?

When should you reach for a data catalog via a data warehouse or data lake? If you are choosing a data catalog this is probably obvious to you, if you just happened on this HN post less so. Also, what key decisions do other data catalogs
