It’s interesting to see the larger laptop have the smaller battery of the two.

1.38% of $10B is a lot of money. I’m not saying they care though.

> WebRTC is the only way to send UDP traffic out of a web browser

I guess they aren’t familiar with the newer WebTransport API?

And now offers learning courses!

Especially with all of the crypto scams using Elon’s voice

I recently had mine serviced and the spring I have is original (~30 years old) and looking a little old. I asked the installer if I should replace it and he said “no. They don’t make them like they used to. They don’t last nearly as long. Wait until this one gives up”

Oof. Just because you did it yourself does not mean it wasn’t extremely dangerous, or that the average home owner should attempt it. There’s an incredible amount of energy stored in those springs when wound up

Software that doesn’t change, heated seats that don’t require a subscription, not selling your location data, able to repair yourself

That’s the definition of minimal? 0.5 of a core while doing nothing?

Would be interesting to hear a response from Supabase, since their recent move off of PgBouncer on their platform.

It’s sad that so many tech companies are pressured to grow or die. It feels rare to see folks build stable, healthy growth businesses these days. Gotta burn through all the cash and get that next round of funding!

Whoa, Big Gulps, huh? All right! Well, see you later!

Who has actually found LangChain useful in their projects? Any time I’ve looked at their docs I’ve found myself wondering why I’d want this abstraction over using something like the OpenAI SDK directly.

Even something as simple as getting the token usage from the response was challenging or not possible last time I checked.

I’m pretty new to running these locally, but here’s my understanding:

Best models currently: codellama or deepseek coder. 6.7B or 1B depending on how much latency you can tolerate

Treesittee: from looking at the logs of the chat completions requests for Continue or Twinny extensions for VS Code, they both appear to just send a chunk of the document as well as a special placeholder to indicate where the cursor currently is.

That sounds like how raster image rendering works on most mapping applications? The tiles are loaded on demand as you pan/zoom

In my experience the slider definitely moves. You can see it in real time with the settings page open

The key needs to be continuously present for the car to continue running. Unless I’m missing something in your story?

Litre bikes are a whole different beast

Crazy! How can a browser tab launch another process? My understanding was each tab was its own singular process?

I’m running Immich on my home server and it has been great. The syncing on iOS doesn’t seem to want to automatically upload so I have to manually go in and click the sync button sometimes. Otherwise it’s been great!

Not all routes are a straight line. The time of day also matters…

Are there any alternatives that are as comprehensive and nice to use as Sentry?

I’ve been growing more and more disappointed with the JS bundle size growth over the last few years, some of which can be mitigated by webpack config hacks (https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/co...) but it’s still quite a large portion of the production bundle.

Why would you need Okta for a simple Google sign in? A simple traditional Google OAuth flow should work just fine.

It’s interesting to see both PostgREST and Hasura (two similar ish tools) are both built on Haskell. I don’t see too many Haskell projects in the wild. I wonder what prompted them both to use it. Neat!

Smarter Every Day on YouTube recently spoke at the American Astronautical Society about this flight plan. I found it quite interesting how different it is compared to the way we used to go to the moon decades ago. He challenges the complexity of the new flight plan, including the refuelling step.

It’s a longer episode but well worth the watch if you enjoy the channel and are excited about returning to the moon.

Interesting timing since The Problem with Jon Stewart was just recently canceled. Sounds like he planned to do an episode on China and another on AI and Apple didn’t like that.

As someone who uses zsh + spaceship, what benefits would I gain moving to fish as my main shell? I don’t write many bash scripts so the scripting side is less of a concern.

That’s GPT if I’ve ever seen it

It is done primarily as a benefit to the company on the accounting side to remove the vacation and sick days liabilities from their balance sheets.

It can also look attractive to employees, but I recall studies showing that employees take less time under these plans

Ghostfolio is pretty slick and can be self hosted!
