The things stated in the announcement? Mainly node compatibility though more test coverage and different performance improvements.

Actually HN handles it almost perfectly. The automatic line breaks are really good. Only complain would be that its sometimes difficult to see the parent comment(s) when you scroll down. HN could fix this quite easily by making the current

There is a reasone we use left and right margin/padding. This blog is quite unreadable for 27/32" monitors.

We should be greatful for this. This is the one public case study on how large-scale llm-driven code generation actually works out. With node and deno there are reasonable alternatives for everyone who don't want to use bun anymore.

You could also use the LLM create a program to do the conversion and then review and use the program to deterministicly perform the actual conversion. Have the best of both worlds.

GitLab? We use gitlab for work. Its way worse in comparison. Last week I encountered a bug where my merge request simply didn't show that I deleted a file. Apparently it's because my MR included the creation of a folder with the s

US models align with our "average" (western) values. If we outsource thinking by using LLMs, why would we outsource it to an LLM that doesn't have our values encoded in it?

Sure, a poweruser can bring their own ram/ssd. But again they pay almost as much and have a worse system performance wise. Normal users don't profit from anything you listed. They do have to buy a notebook with all components, an

Framework Laptop is more expensive than a Macbook Air with all around worse hardware. For a framework 13 I'd have to pay 1900€ with a 16GB setup. For 1450 I get a MBA with 24GB ram. Similar with a dell or lenovo who get smoked in perfo

Thats just one of the interpretations of a skill. A skill can also act as an abstraction layer over many tools (implemented as an mcp server) to save context tokens. Skills offer a short description of their use and thus occupy only a few h

Gemini 3 was: 1. unreliable in GH copilot. Lots of 500 and 4XX errors. Unusable in the first 2 months 2. not available in vertex ai (europe). We have requirements regarding data residency. Funny enough anthropic is on point with releasing t

Thats like being proud of not using google or stackoverflow and only reading manuals, or using notepad instead of an IDE (or editor with language server support). A 10$ GitHub Copilot or 20$ ChatGPT/Claude subscription get you a long w

Nah. Plenty people struggles with the use of tailwind or at least were interested in shortcuts. Thats the whole what tailwind plus offers. In some ways tailwind is like matplotlib/pandas/numpy. Increadibly powerfull but some metho

gemini 2.0 flash is and was a godsend for many small tasks and ocr. There needs to be a greater distinction between models used for human chat, programming agents, and software-integration - where at least we benefitted from gemini flash mo

Seems like their whole business model was based on the fact that tailwind was difficult to use, and now with llm we have a simple way to use it in a good-enough way. They, and other companies, should rather depend on corporate users. Don&#x

I assume its still x86-64? What actually makes it an AI platform? Some tight integration of an intel ARC GPU, similar to the Apple M series processors? They claim 2-5x performance for soem AI workloads. But aren't they still limited by

Thats the whole problem. No consistency. Some configurations work, others not - eventhough they should be way more capable. That's not even limited to linux or gaming. A few weeks ago i tried to apply the latest Windows update to my 2

No one is claiming that it's a bad move. It's just an anti-competitive move that could be very bad for the consumer as it makes the inference market less competitive.

For me it was about 8 years ago. Back then TF was already bloated but had two weaknesses. Their bet on static compute graphs made writing code verbose and debugging difficult. The few people I know back then used keras instead. I switched t

Same as always? Cheap labor. It doesn't take that much to train someone to be somewhat useful, in mmany cases. The main educators are universities and trade schools. Not companies. And if they want more loyalty the can always provide m

It would be nice if this model would be good enough to update their typscript sdk (+agents library) to use, or at least support, zod v4 - they still use v3. Had to spend quite a long time to figure out a dependency error...

Kudos to bun for investing in a promising technology. Does the Zig Foundation have a policy against corporate sponsors? Otherwise the lack of sponsoring from the "big players" seems rather shocking. You'd think that zig has a

Yes, thats the problem. Prosecuting crimes on the internet is near impossible due to the restrictions and often anonymity. Thats why we rely on platform providers to help us, the public. Facebook, Youtube and others put in effort to take do

Do you think absolutely all content should be allowed to be accessible? If you wouldn't allow child porn (which 4chan deletes/doesn't allow), where exactly do you draw the line between blocking sites with cp, and allowing sit

Good luck to anyone using it. We used it for embedding about 6k documents. The API constantly gives you quota errors when you reach about 150 requests/min eventhough the quota should allow about 50_000 requests/min. We’d like to u

Very interesting. I wish they had gone into a little more detail about the other technologies involved. Was the Java Service in Spring (boot)? What other technologies were considerd? I'd assume Go was among them. Was it just the fact t

A 3090 still costs 1800€. Thats not mid-range by a long shot The 5070 or 5070ti are mid range. They cost 650/900€.
