Anyone have any idea of what their caching strategy may be? I think that may be the most interesting and impactful thing here. ChatGPT is definitely the snappiest web UI of any LLM.

Ah yes, thousands of people benefiting from cheap and effective drugs that can’t be patented because they naturally occur. Of course it doesn’t work. /sarcasm The medical field has a terrible problem in terms of literature reproducibil

This may be a naive question: why ARM and not RISC-V?

Agreed. I've run into so many issues with documentation and sane defaults, and the Vercel team response is to always gaslight you into thinking you've done something wrong. The truth is, its just poorly designed software. Where it

Ironically I think these types of exercises are part of the problem at major software companies; terrible efficiency and over hiring. Because you need to “brag” to get rewarded, everyone ambitious has a list. And each list is nearly impossi

This doesn't make sense. 1. The top 3% seed-stage investors are killing it. 2. This seems to be engineered for the bottom 90% of investors. To squeeze out some yield. But venture capital is ruled by the power law. 3. Forcing seed stage

I've worked at 3 startups, founded 2, and worked at 1 bigco. 2/3 startups had excellent returns in the form of equity. Life changing over time. Startups: 66% hit rate. Bigco was mentally draining and sucked. Bigco: 0% hit rate. St

Love the age + free filters. First I'd heard of Swift Playgrounds! I wonder how they decided which ones to include. Also, first time I've seen learning resources broken down by apps, games, videos, etc. To be honest, it makes a lo

As PG said, take on as much technical debt as possible: it’s literally leverage. Now sometimes “clean” code is the worst of both worlds. It wastes time and isn’t really clean.

So these cookies may die but it’s a perpetual arms race. Browser fingerprinting will (or has) replace(d) cookies for tracking purposes.

Interesting because to me, “Grey Thinking” is the norm in governments. That’s how they get away with being so wasteful.

Federation is actually quite centralized and explicitly so. DNS resolution is “federated”. Proof of work is the opposite end of the spectrum; maximally decentralized yet slow. The worst of all worlds is proof of stake / stake-based con

I am comparing it to settling gold in that a settlement is "final". You can reverse a credit card transaction, a bank wire, etc. You cannot reverse a Bitcoin transaction or Gold shipment without significant risk and cost. Exampl

What has Stallman done that is so bad? I can't seem to find anything specific. Not asking to be controversial, but seeking to understand.

Wow, this was seamless. It auto-detected my lightning wallet, and the purchase was instant. As far as I know, this is literally the only way to get Bitcoin on lightning directly with USD.

If you have super high throughput, it would be worth temporarily (and very securely) caching transaction parameters to handle downtime.
