Very cool! Did you consider Protomaps for the map tile format at all? It's a pretty clever way of storing everything in a single file and their tooling is pretty nice.

What are you talking about, this IS a nice thing!

Firefox's extension support is far superior to Safari's, cross-platform support, and I really don't want to use Edge for the same reasons I don't want to use Chrome.

That's really encouraging news, the per-commit versioning has been tricky to follow. Happy to see it!

If you're like me and also wondered "huh, what's tinygrad up to?" apparently they now let you place $100,000 USD pre-orders on a $10M shipping container full of GPUs which they say will ship (literally it seems) in 2027.

As somebody who is also terrible at remembering names, I also used to think this but ever since I saw this idea taken to its logical extreme by some students a few years ago I've become significantly more resistant to it: https:/

For anyone reading the thread, they did do this! Had a nice call with James too, which I appreciate. It looks like the situation is actually more complex and interesting than "The registry rug-pulled me". My .sexy domain price w

Heh yeah, I've recently had another site succumb to the same thing (that domain wasn't managed by me). I've long accepted that domains are kind of a racket, but haven't actually been on the losing end of the money until

Yeah, I already transferred everything else to Cloudflare in advance of this so that part should be taken care of.

The domain renewal cost in their dashboard is notably right back to $38 too!

by shrinks99 2mo ago
Arguably yeah! The issue I have seems to mostly be with Uniregistry (aside from the fact that Hover takes a cut of the transaction). ...But I'm also not a Uniregistry customer, I'm a Hover customer. Do I have any recourse with t

8 Nvidia B200s. Crazy from an individual perspective, costly for a small business!

Pretty cool! I've also been playing around with GLM 5.2 this week and was equally impressed. At work we're running it locally on some crazy expensive hardware as a test before starting another project so it's great to see p

I prefer CoMaps' tile styling, they did a bunch of updates to it early on to differentiate it from OrganicMaps, IMO it's much nicer. CoMaps also has a better system for distributing map data now which isn't bound to app updat

I've been using GLM 5.2 a lot this past week, it's been replacing Opus 4.8. I mostly do front-end web development and haven't noticed much of a quality difference. Sure, "it's just frontend", but that's a

Yes, CoMaps lets users submit basic data that updates OSM for addresses and POIs. It's a harder problem than you may initially think too, quite often the delivery format of OSM data differs in schema from the DB format. In the case o

Navidrome is so sick! I've been a full album listener for years, but switching to it was a great excuse to make sure my music library was FLAC only and tagged with good MusicBrainz metadata. If you're a self-hosting / NAS p

Brand guidelines and web design pretty much don't exist any more as far as I can tell. Gotta get it out yesteday, and the only way to do that is vibe coding, styling be damned.

tangled.org writes issues as atproto data that lives in a user's PDS which is one neat idea.

There's absolutely no precident for Blender Foundation sponsorships leading to such things... So no, they probably won't do that.

It compiles almost instantly which makes this visual design by Claude instruction viable. That alone is pretty neat. It can't render all your math in exactly the same way. If you need it to do that, it may not be for you.

Noticed that Jellyfin had inched out Plex when sorting by popularity on the TrueNAS app catalogue the other day (45,178 installs vs Plex's 42,225). The existance of this project seems to confirm that the dev ecosystem around it is get

I got Claude to make me the exact same graph a few weeks ago! I had hypothesized that we'd see a sharp drop off, instead what I found (as this project also shows) is a rather messy average trend of outages that has been going on for s

I own one of these, it is amazingly well manufactured. Not cheap, but (with the exception of the power button) well made.

Yes, but you can get LLMFit to recommend hardware requirements with `llmfit plan --context <TOKENS> <MODEL>`.

I'm going to guess this is because the image to depth data, while good, is not perfectly accurate and therefore cannot be a shared ground truth between multiple images. At that point what you want is a more traditional structure from

I think SideFX was the first to do that with Houdini. It's one of my favourite micro-UX features of high-end graphics software, coming in at a close second to Nuke's use of both linear and non-linear scales for slider values.
