I don’t think it’ll necessarily pop. The excess supply could even induce additional demands in not just LLM or AI but in other verticals. The margins of hyperscalers and infra providers might thin out, but with all that surplus in hardware,

Presumably a common argument for sending a trained human expert in place of a robot is because a human can exercise much better judgment on what to explore and dive deep into on site, whereas doing so via a rover is subject to high latency

I remember reading a research about using a projector like headlights with a high resolution camera that can capture the position of each raindrop and selectively turn off projection on each raindrop’s position in real time so you can still

Here’s my experience: just yesterday I had to tackle this task that’d have required a backend engineer and a frontend engineer several days, so I tasked several Claude code agents to work on them autonomously. With the time freed up, I didn

Lots of fun questions! Can you make it so that I can open each one in a new tab? Also if I navigate back to the main view I lose my scroll position.

If you’re using it with a local model then you need a lot of GPU memory to load up the model. Unified memory is great here since you can basically use almost all the RAM to load the model.

Yeah it’s all trade offs. If it means I get to where I want to be faster, even if it’s imperfect, so be it. Humans aren’t without flaws; prior to coding assistants, I’ve lost count of the times my PM telling me to rush things at the expens

I take a fairly optimistic view to the adoption of AI assistants in our line of work. We begin to work and reason at a higher level and let the agents worry about the lower level details. Know where else this happens? Any human organization

I’ve not used duckdb before nor do I do much data analysis so I am curious about this one aspect of processing medium sized json/csv with it: the data are not indexed, so any non-trivial query would require a full scan. Is duckdb so fa

My understanding is food delivery companies take a huge cut (like 30%) so restaurants are forced to raise their prices significantly or risk losing customers. Even with that cut, food delivery customers still have to pay a significant deliv

iirc there was a startup doing the same thing called sourcetable? How does pane compare to it?

The author makes a good point about language capabilities enabling certain libraries to be written, just as DSL makes it easier to reason about problems and implement solutions with the right kind of abstractions and language ergonomics (us

I think this question can be answered in so many ways - first of all, piling abstraction doesn’t automatically imply bloating - with proper compile time optimizations you can achieve zero cost abstractions, e.g C++ compilers. Secondly, bloa

If we sees ourselves less as a programmer and more as a software builder, then it doesn’t really matter if our programming skills atrophy in the process of adopting this tool, because it affords us to build at a higher abstraction level), k

That’s really awesome to have a viable self bootstrapped project! Did you have to spend a lot of time maintaining it or deal with customer support after the initial launch? A low maintenance yet viable business would truly be the dream!

Vivpage is a vim-like wsyiwyg webpage editor. You can use quick shortcut keys to navigate around, perform selection, insert/edit/delete elements/styles, and it comes complete with undo/redo capability. I built this becau

Paul Graham once described the quality of being formidable in a startup founder. If they say they'll get something done in 2 weeks, they'll get it done in 2 weeks, even if poorly done. Formidable founders stand the greatest chance

We're just trapped in the present day tech zeitgeist. Taking a step back and looking at things on a longer time scale, you'll see there has always been good people to keep things in balance, and the general state of things improve

I actually have been wondering if we can skip drag and drop even, and build a CRUD app with a markdown like language.

I actually have a different hypothesis. There's no cap on interesting stories, but rather there's a cap on how long a submission can be noticed. The more submissions there are being posted, the faster existing submissions drop off

Didn't hit #1, but got to front page twice: once with SheetUI [0], another time with CS cards [1]. My observation on what I did right is similar: remove the need for sign ups so users can use it and see value immediately. As for what h

Rock climbing gym can be a great place to socialize. Most people are not actively climbing; they're just standing there staring at a problem on the wall while figuring out how to solve it, or recovering from a climb they just got off.

That makes sense to me, but I wonder if that's gonna launch a writing arms race between genuine writers and AI researchers.
