And because driving is slower and less convenient than public transit there. Seriously in Berlin, Paris or London I would prefer the public transit options in nearly all of my trips.

Diesel increased in price because truck drivers couldn't afford not to drive their truck. The cartel as well as the distributors are extracting all the value they can at every step. That is why diesel has increased so much.

I can't help but feel that every 1% improvement over a benchmark from new releases of flagship LLMs isn't really that impressive anymore. To some extent it feels like LLM improvements is slowing down significantly despite increas

I get excited about this but that's because I want this... not because I need it. What I actually need might be less of an iPhone and more of a nano than a duo. Something small and portable that doesn't make me spend every spare

It has become easier and easier to upgrade Rails over time. 2 of my apps were running 2 versions back and the most difficult thing was finding the time to update it. There was one gem that was deprecated but the replacement was 10 lines of

I would not buy a Tesla because the owner of the company does Nazi salutes but I feel like this is more or less like someone forgetting their ex is on their Spotify family account.

This reminds me so much of the Raglan hero archetype rank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank–Raglan_hero_archetype So many stories, many people believe are true and build whole religions around, are really just repeat

If that's the boundary then I must have been a really neglectful and abusive parent.

Your framing is ridiculous. Canada sends raw materials to the USA and purchases it back once transformed. If anyone has been bleeding it is Canada.

How do figure Canada will suffer more?

I feel much the same. I feel like the next time I upgrade I could splurge a bit more and get a really bigger CPU and storage to be even more productive with. However the main reason I would upgrade is to run LLMs locally and RAM prices are

The benchmark done in a lab is different than one done on a production phone. In a lab you can cool the room or even drop the CPU inside cold oil. Run the benchmark there and it means you have a good freezer. I'd love to see what it l

My experience as well. I asked Grok if the family birthday image posted by Maye Musk could have been generated by AI and Grok refused to say that it was a possibility. Multiple news outlets independently verified that the label "Made w

Today's Rails has https://hotwired.dev and it's built-in. I've used it on quite complex UIs and for the life of me I don't believe React would be so popular in new projects if people knew how good this was.

Funny he mentioned Chris McCord as the originator of this technique with Liveview. The reality however predates that with Sync in Rails that you guessed it... was also Chris McCord's doing. Rails at the time didn't have the capac

Sonic allows you to plug straight to midi. Strudel is web based.

Mexico most cabs there just have windows rolled down or even no windows at all aside from the windshield. In Mazatlan for example the most common taxi is called a pulmonia and only has a windshield and top cover but is gaz powered. This se

The reason why this is a big deal is because they figured out a way to engineer the type of cells that are hard to create that can readily fight off the virus. In some people they create them already. Here they were able to get the body t

PrEP is difficult on the body over time and though it can be used if you are high risk you are meant to avoid certain medications while using it and have to do follow ups with your doctor to check organ functions.

Yes but why bother with React, Hydrating pages at all if you can do something simpler? What advantages does React provide here? HTMX tools are simpler while providing straightforward thinking around html fragment caching, whole page caching

by xutopia 2mo ago
Angular being basically the same HTMX is nonsense and you should know better. Say you have a huge Google Ads budget burning up on those landing pages. Make one version with React and one with HTMX. Open Lighthouse and see performance diff

I had landing pages using React on a 1.6M/m budget. The loading times on cell phones in mainland USA meant we had people cancelling the loading of pages. When we converted to straight up cached HTML we saw a huge increase in full pag

by xutopia 2mo ago
Sounds like you never worked on complex HTMX systems. They're easier to maintain, allow for easy caching of HTML fragments in a page. For higher traffic pages React just fails spectacularly.

I'm unable to purchase it there even though it is way cheaper than getting it elsewhere because of blocking bugs with my Canadian physical address. Postal code which is valid is considered invalid... my city name which includes a dash

The article actually explains it better than I can but essentially you do not want the agent to get desperate which causes it to burn extra tokens. Planning phase doesn't test assumptions by going straight in the code and testing out

I'm so glad it allows for preferences to reduce motion. I don't like these kinds of UIs at all... unless maybe I'm inside a video game and even then it bothers me after the initial novelty.

You essentially purchase a share into the stock from a random person and sell it immediately on the market at the current price with a promise to sell it future value in the future. You don't actually take the money right away but a br

You're mistaken. Name 3 accomplishments he made and I'll show you world class work done elsewhere by other companies. The only thing he did which was notable was Starlink and I'll gladly grant you that. China is about to eat

Please refrain from putting these 2 in the same bucket. Fracking does lots of localized and non-local pollution. Nuclear is contained and way safer for humans.

I can't comprehend for the life of me that people put their life savings in what Elon Musk is doing. Are people not seeing how he's lying about the future all the time? He said he aimed to have 5000 Optimus robots out by end of 20
