fillipvt··on Show HN: Open-source, browser-local data exploration using DuckDB-WASM and PRQL
this is great, thanks for sharing

I'm currently using a self hosted instance of lightdash connected to a dbt project and I can see this being really efficient for data exploration for business users

quite interesting!

fillipvt··on Home Screen Advantage
aren't profit margins the main drivers for the decisions leading to this post to begin with? if revenue was all they cared about, I don't think what's happening would come to fruition

Several family members firmly believe GPT stands for Gepeto.

Just wondering, why pi?
fillipvt··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
In Spanish this would look like "dijo adiós demasiado". Although unsure how to fit the "before" without being too literal.
fillipvt··on New in Chrome 115
I find the shared storage to be naively useful to share info between sites. But... You know, that will never be possible.
fillipvt··on Sao Paulo: A city with no outdoor advertisements (2013)
I'm being alerted of my ad blocker on this news site, on an article related to there being almost zero ads on a city. A bit ironic.
fillipvt··on ChatGPT Plugins
Not sure about "the tech is well understood" given the LLM itself is a black box in regards to how it works internally, even Microsoft researches admit it (Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4).
fillipvt··on ChatGPT Plugins
I'm not sure the quantity of data will be a differing factor once the LLM reaches a certain point of parameters.
fillipvt··on Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
I can't use Firefox in my work environment. It doesn't have some Chrome extensions that make it impossible for me to use, such as ones for Google services. It sucks because I dearly miss container tabs. If Firefox could support Chrome extensions, that would be game changer.

fillipvt··on Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
I find my self being very passionate about trying to start my own business. I'm currently building an offline-first budgeting app using the zero-based envelopes model.

This has taught me a lot about new technologies, and although I haven't been able to launch it, it feels like the biggest thing I've worked on.

My current problem is I don't know how to simplify it in order to launch something quicker. I'll be working slowly on it, chipping away at it, line by line.

fillipvt··on uBlock Origin works best on Firefox
I'd love to use Firefox as my daily driver for work. But due to lack of some extensions I'm not able to, mainly Tag Manager and Optimize, both Google products.
fillipvt··on Apple Shipped Me a 79-Pound iPhone Repair Kit to Fix a 1.1-Ounce Battery
This is interesting.

If anything, with this I've learned that companies like Framework have a huge advantage. If that space ever manages to create a 'fixable' phone a-la Framework laptop, it's gonna work on so many levels for so many different people and regulators.

fillipvt··on Facebook Renames to Meta
It's far too rare for a founder to maintain control in that way while also growing the company to the size of Facebook is. For example, Basecamp has managed to maintain control but it's nowhere near their size.
fillipvt··on Facebook Renames to Meta
Would Meta be able to build a federated Metaverse? If they are, things are different.

So you are saying they have to? Otherwise the iPhone would be useless.
fillipvt··on A single laser fired through a keyhole can expose everything inside a room
Would this be helpful in any way for fall detection? Especially for the elderly. I wouldn't want a camera watching my parents for example.

I think so, if it can track acceleration it may be able to do so. Would have to play around with it to know for sure.

fillipvt··on uBlock Origin review
Brave gets a 100% there. Interesting, I thought it was not as good.
fillipvt··on Vercel raise $40M Series B
With AWS CDK and Amplify developing at the speeds they currently are, I think businesses like Vercel will have it really hard in the coming years to attract customers.

Happy for them though! I've been using them for a long time, but I've also just started learning CDK and Amplify and I think these could provide the same benefits, and in some (very specific) cases with zero costs. This plus databases such as Fauna or DynamoDB, and I wouldn't be able to see my self using any other thing for a good long while.

Does the banner asking for donations count as ads? If we assume that, wouldn't this hurt their ability to keep their servers running?

fillipvt··on How to proceed when you run out of cash, but you still believe?
That certainly is the best way to maximize luck. One such type of event is getting to know people, be it through work, networking, online w/e.
fillipvt··on DuckDuckGo Traffic
Aww this is such great news. Didn't know how I missed it. Really nice to see privacy being relevant to more people. Been using since 2016 and the results have improved tremendously!
