based on documentary style interviews I've seen of drug addicts in Lithuania, there's supposedly no more old school heroin left on the streets, it's been pushed out by fent.
Already using this for foreground estimation of cutouts in my project, around 30% speedup over non-SIMD, but the algorithm is probably not very optimised yet.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the quote was taken out of context when they were speaking about vertical integration. "We own the glass" was meant to say that they manufacture the panels themselves and not source them from a 3rd party.
The FAQ technique is LLM/SEO crumbs because people usually search for questions, if you have the exact likely question text that maps to user's search you're more likely to rank. It's unfortunate but it works, like open mouth YouTube thumbnails.
I’m working on PhotoFig: https://photofig.com, a recently launched product-photo editor for online sellers who need to clean up hundreds of images.
It was inspired by my wife having to carefully mask product photos for her online shop. Existing tools could remove backgrounds automatically, but didn’t give her enough control when the result needed correcting. So masking is a first-class feature, with SAM-assisted selection and a precise manual brush.
The backend and storage are self-hosted on hardware I own. Along the way I’ve had to solve some interesting infrastructure problems, including writing a Kubernetes operator that bin-packs GPU workloads across workers. I’m planning a technical write-up on the architecture.
Exactly. I think this may be a trap of solo development without external feedback. You can easily logic your way down a rabbit hole, and without a second set of eyes to call you out, you end up building something that makes perfect sense to you but is completely alien to an uninvested person.
They also use a large ring attached to the first zipper to help the robot grab it. This is not a realistic zipper, but I do appreciate them being honest and showing that grabbing small objects is still not perfect
FYI I do have 3 kids, no, it doesn't take that long (we share this with the wife), in a few years the kids will be able to help us with this task so it's gonna be even less time. Doing household chores is good for the kids. I wouldn't wan't this robot driving around my household when I have small children anyway...
Love PgDog. I don't need it honestly, but using it in my on-prem k8s because I heard about you in Postgres FM podcast randomly when I had nothing to listen to on a hike in the woods and it picked up my interest.

The post reads like written by someone who read too much about AI rather than tried to build a startup with the help of AI that they advocate so much. I'm still bounded by system design, UX, pricing and feature decisions, if not by the speed of code output, by the review time for sure. Yes, iterating is faster, but we're nowhere near agentic AI loops spitting out working products. Technically it's possible, but then you just spent that time planning and writing the spec up front, which you'd interleave with dev time otherwise. If the product is a simple CRUD database skin, then yeah, chances of success are lower I think, but this is not the type of startups the post seems to write about.
You can have an opinion about a tool as a user, without ever having ability to create such a tool yourself, that's literally what every tech and auto reviewer does.
This, at best bullet talking points were fed to the prompt and given and output length restriction, it's padded to fit the space diluting the message to the point only an LLM can
Ditto, I don't see myself upgrading in the near future, the 64GB M1 Max I paid 2499 at the end of 2023 still feels like a new machine, nothing I do can slow it down. Apple kept OS updated for around 6 years in Intel times, I don't see how they can drop support for this one tbh. I'm still paying for apple care since I depend on it so much
To replace Kubernetes, you inevitably have to reinvent Kubernetes. By the time you build in canaries, blue/green deployments, and rolling updates with precise availability controls, you've just built a bespoke version of k8s. I'll take the industry standard over a homegrown orchestration tool any day.
I've moved my SaaS I'm developing to SeaweedFS, it was rather painless to do it. I should also move away from minio-go SDK to just use the generic AWS one, one day. No hard feelings from my side to MinIO team though.
