A good reminder that moving fast and getting product fit >>>>> code quality

I have Roborock (Xiaomi) automatic vacuum and it's fantastic technology. iRobot had a 10 year lead and did nothing with it. The robot is competent at avoiding clutter, clean the mops itself, leave my floor sparkling and so far has been extremely reliable.

I was just visiting the cold war era nuclear ICBM control room bunker in Arizona and noticed this color everywhere. Timely article!

That's a huge bonus point for Django. It's so prevalent that Claude/Codex are very good at setting it up the right way, using tried and true patterns.

I've been vibe coding some side projects with Claude Code + Django + htmx/tailwind, and when it's time to go some manual work in the codebase I know exactly where things are and what they do, there's way fewer weird patterns or hack the way Claude tends to do when it's not as guided

I keep reading this point of view, that not being glued to the news is "privilege".

I completely disagree.

Refreshing your feed all day long, getting angry at all the news, does not make someone superior. I'm not going to travel to support the iranian uprising, or going hide illegal immigrants in a Minneapolis basement, and it is likely that neither are you. So the end result is the same, except the person consuming and reacting to the news is wasting more time. Worst, they become radicalized and are now part of the extremism that keep being pushed.

I research policy and vote when asked. In between, there's too much going on in my life to spend it with daily news

My theory is that it will not be the case.

New frameworks can be created, but they will be different from before:

- AI-friendly syntax, AI-friendly error handling

- Before being released, we will have to spend hundred of millions of token of agents reading the framework and writing documentation and working example code with it, basically creating the dataset that other AI can reference when using the new framework.

- Create a way to have that documentation/example code easily available for AI agents (via MCP or new paradigm)

One of my .xyz domain was taken down because one it somehow ended up on a single spam list as Phishing (it was not hosting any phishing, and all the code is actually open source).

I never was able to get it cleared. It's crazy the power that those spam list can have and they care very little about false positives

I just scrolled 5mn on the landing page of bluesky, unlogged, and it looks like r/politics (mostly anti-Trump, anti-Musk posts).

Hardly appealing for someone like me who goes on twitter less because there's too much politics

What does it take for a plant to be shutdown pending corrective action?

The violations cited seem like they should be enough to warrant that. Because of their inaction, 9 peoples died. It's a failure of the regulatory agency

I work for a medium (~$10B) public company and when I check the CEOs calendar he's booked 12 hours a day, and it's a lot of hard staff meeting with complex outcome. Not sure where this idea that CEOs don't work come from

Not to diminish the work of OP (the website looks really clean), but I don't think I know any serious experienced engineer who couldn't create an image sharing website

GPU companies providing inference on open source models (like deepinfra or togetherAI) are doing so at an extremely competitive cost, making me think that the API pricing of the big players right now is profitable.

(for example, deepinfra has wizardLM-2-8x22B at $0.65/1M output tokens, compared to $6/1M output tokens for 8x22B by Mistral - and of course Mistral has some more expensive, closed source models that perform better)

I live in a suburb of Dallas and most kids walk/bike to school alone past the 3rd grade

I don't know. I feel like a cow without humans is most likely to end up being slowly tear apart by a predator

I've used the standard Park for 15 years without ever having any issue

Let's not make up things because you disagree with the politics.

There's nothing in the law about the state gathering data.

Texas is not the first state with such law. Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia have all passed laws mandating age verification for accessing adult content. I expect this will become even more widespread.

There's probably a market opportunity for the entrepreneurs of hacker news: creating an age verification service compliant with the law of those state, with a strong no-log privacy policy and an API that websites with age verification mandate can use

You have to wonder how long this will last, especially now that they're public.

One day, they'll need to squeeze a few extra percentage of revenue to meet their quarterly target and decide that dropping old.reddit.com will move enough people to their revenue optimized new page to get there.

Or there will be a breaking change in the API and they'll decide they don't want to bother supporting the old one anymore.

In any case, the days of old.reddit.com are counted. I already stopped using Reddit on my phone after they shut down third party app. Just waiting on old reddit to disappear to finally say goodbye to this website

Unfortunately it means it's extremely hard to live in Paris if you're middle class.

If you're upper middle class/rich, you can rent/buy. If you're poor, you get a chance to get public housing. If you're middle class, too bad for you.

I don't live there anymore but I grew up in Paris -

I knew absolutely nobody living in Paris driving to another location in Paris. It's always been metro first, bicycle sometime. Almost all of the passenger car you see in Paris are people driving from the suburb.

There would have been no follow up meeting. That's the meeting where they need to be prepared to give answers. Her account most likely was being scheduled to be disabled by the end of that meeting

Once a company reaches a certain size, all products used like Cloudflare go through a sales process to negotiate terms, SLA, compliance etc.

To break even at the box office, you need to make at least 2.5x your production budget (so $500M for Lightyear). It's very unlikely that they were able to close the gap with streaming - the movie lost a ton of money.

The 2.5x multiple is because the production budget doesn't include marketing costs (which can easily be as high as the production budget) as well as the fact that they only get a percentage of the box office (the movie theaters need to live too). This is especially true for the non US box office, where the percentage going back to the studio is lower than in the US

I use a Kobo Libra 2 and I find it great. It replaced my Paperwhite. It's easy enough to side load apps if you want too (but I find that I don't - I just need it to read books and it does that well)

Same experience here.

Yes, my friends back home are on vacations 5 weeks a year. But I can do something in the US that almost nobody can do in Europe: put away >$100k every year and run toward financial independence and an early retirement.

Back in Europe, my friends don't even think about something like that. They all just accept that they'll be working until 63, 65 or whatever the retirement age will be when they're older.

And it's not just tech. My wife is in another sector and also makes a lot more than she would in Europe.

I didn't know about this and got a nasty ulcer after taking ibuprofen for 6 days in a row while dealing with a disease. I'm not touching this anymore and stick with a max of 2g of acetaminophen per day if I need painkillers

Upload results are off for me. I have a 1gbps down/up fiber.

With this speed test, the results are 900mbps down, 400-500mbps up (ran a few tests to confirm)

I tried running fast.com, speedtest.net, google speed test and verizon speed test (I'm on AT&T), they all show ~950mbps down and up

Anyone can read your blog and then post their own blog post using knowledge they learned while reading yours. ChatGPT "learned" from your blog that same way

Is the source of this project (or something similar) available anywhere? They can easily ban a single website, but it would be harder if everybody who wanted "API" access could self host this translation layer

I use Brave because it runs on all my devices, block ads by default and it's sync feature works great. I don't really touch any of their BAT features
