(post author here) I was curious about this since it kind of makes sense, but I offer a few reasons why I think this isn't the case: - In the 10% noise case at least, the second descent eventually finds a minima that's better than

If you revise this prompt to satisfy your pedantry, (at least) 4o still gets it wrong.

I built a personal finance app ( https://tender.run ) in the style of mailbox (swiping, keyboard shortcut, inbox-based workflow for reviewing transactions). It's built on the automerge CRDT and sqlite running in the browser,

Originally this was a privacy angle - the data is primarily stored on your device, with backend storage that’s treated like backup and sync only. I had plans for e2ee that built on this but it didn’t turn out to be a big differentiating fac

Sort of relatedly, I’ve been fighting Safari bug for years that feels like it has to be related to dates in js. Safari’s saved credit card support works pretty well, but when I switch between US and Asia timezones the expiration date will s

I’ve been building a personal finance app that runs fully in the browser (using the automerge crdt and sqlite) for over a year now at https://tender.run . Recently I’ve been taking more of being able to flexibly run sql against t

It's sad to hear that the new app encrypts everything. A long time ago I worked on hacking airplay support for sonos speakers and it wouldn't have been possible without inspecting a lot of plaintext wireshark traffic.

why would consumers who can afford to use credit cards with rewards switch to fednow payments? are there equivalents for chargebacks, fraud protection, and rewards percentage?

What banks has this worked with for you? I just tried to do this with chase, capital one, and citi. The first two only let you pay up to 10% more than your balance (balance, not credit limit) and citi only 7.5% - nowhere near 10x your credi

I’ve been working on a personal finance tracker that uses automerge as the primary backing store. One trick we’ve been pulling is tailing the automerge contents into a sqlite db in-browser for more complex querying. (some notes on how/

I run a personal finance app that's built as a PWA ( https://tender.run , my email is in my profile). I would say running as a PWA has been a mixed bag. There are quite a few missing features across web platforms (for starter

It doesn't seem like it will i.e. _delete_ your username/password, but the behavior is actually automatic without user prompt. See 1:10-ish[0] for the demo - I found this at least somewhat surprising, though I submit this as a pas

One cute trick I've found is that you can install mas[0] (mac app store cli) and then have mas install things from the app store for you[1]. also, at least some system prefs can be set via the defaults util[2]. [0]: https://

There’s an overview for how our app is built here: https://tender.run/blog/tender-and-crdts We haven’t written much about our server-side sqlite. I’d say our write workloads are easily within what sqlite can do for now

by stpn 2y ago
We use the client-side sqlite as part of making the app work locally and offline, so it wouldn’t make sense. The materialized view isn’t a huge perf problem for now, and I expect we’d switch to using triggers or similar without too much dif
