kyruzic··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
I agree its what they are being used for and their primary revenue source.

My point is mainly that was never the pitch that got ai the hype it did and imo doesn't justify the valuations even if we all lose our jobs to ai. Because it no longer seems like they even think its making other jobs go away.

kyruzic··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
So at this point new models seem to only care about one task, software development. This really was not the original pitch of ai and I do not see how it justifies the insane spend or valuations it has produced.

The funds in USD were recovered because bitcoins value is 5x higher than it was when he got arrested.

2025 is 6 months away. There is absolutely no way a majority of applications will use it.

You aren't gonna die from drinking it, but it isn't sterile.

kyruzic··on Developing a Modern Full-Stack Application: Choosing the Right Tech Stack
The type any exists. The type unknown exists. The types actually have no meaning at runtime.
kyruzic··on Developing a Modern Full-Stack Application: Choosing the Right Tech Stack
I do agree with this, but I'd argue the developer experience of nodejs with Typescript is far worse than that of rust/go
kyruzic··on Developing a Modern Full-Stack Application: Choosing the Right Tech Stack
Nodejs backends are not "as performant as you build them" nodejs is slow! This is an undeniable fact. If you ever have to do anything computationally intensive, which every backend at some point will nodejs will become the bottleneck.
kyruzic··on Developing a Modern Full-Stack Application: Choosing the Right Tech Stack
That's why you shouldn't use slow backend technologies in the first place because you get to the point where you need preformance and it's impossible because your limited by extremely slow runtime you chose initially because it was flashy (not even easier to developer for) when you could have just chosen something better from the start.

Simple crud apps can get by fine with those technologies, but in the future I'd still never use it because you're leaving huge amounts of performance gains on the table for virtually no benefit. I don't buy the argument that javascript is just easier to develop for because it's simply not. The js ecosystem is a disaster.

kyruzic··on Developing a Modern Full-Stack Application: Choosing the Right Tech Stack
Go is perhaps the simplest language to learn there is. It's almost impossible to not get it to work because it has so few things you can actually do.

And nodejs only preforms well in hello world benchmarks, real world applications are nothing like that. Once you start having to manipulate large arrays or do any large amount of math nodejs preformance goes into the dumpster.

kyruzic··on Developing a Modern Full-Stack Application: Choosing the Right Tech Stack
Typescript (nodejs) backends are not performant, and your ultra modern stack is going to just cause you issues going forward if you need to scale. Prisma is really bad too, slow queries and no flexibility. If you ever need to do any sort of complex query you will just have to write sql anyway. And typescript is only sort of static typing.

These technologies are great for prototyping and building a v1 release to see if what you're trying to achieve is actually possible, but you will regret it later on.

The reason I know this, I work at a startup where we literally had the same backend stack and its been nothing but preformance issue after preformance issue. And it all needs to be replaced. We would have been better off building everything with go/rust in the first place. Or even java.

kyruzic··on Epic vs. Google: Google Loses
I didn't say they were individually selected and yes they can just throw out a certain number of potential jurors without any reason.

Maybe I worded my comment poorly but the point still stands.

kyruzic··on Epic vs. Google: Google Loses
There's two possible decisions the jury could make, and the jury is composed of a group of people who are chosen by both sides to prevent it from being a biased decision. Obviously not perfect but a lot better than you describe.
kyruzic··on Does uBlock Origin bypass the latest YouTube anti-adblock script?
No one is saying this because people who intentionally use ublock are doing it to not support youtube.

I was alive during 9/11 and my dad was in Iraq as contractor for the US military.
kyruzic··on The Guardian Deletes Osama Bin Laden's 'Letter to America'
Dropping bombs on innocent civilians in a third world country doesn't make you a hero either, but that doesn't stop our media from calling all members of the military involved in the wars in the middle East heroes.

Also read more carefully they never said the "terrorists" were heroes they explained the point of view of the "terrorists"

I just use gnome, I am sure other desktop environments suit others better. But I know gnome just works. Windows and MacOS have the same issues you pointed out with gnome though.

None of what you said is true. Use gnome and a popular distribution. Everything will just work out of the box.
kyruzic··on The Apple $2T Economy
At least read the article before commenting. It's talking about the total transactional value of the app store. Not apples market cap.

You open an expensive listing and book it yourself to "wash" the money.
kyruzic··on Fe: next generation smart contract language for Ethereum
Amazing insightful comment, do you make this on every post even tangentially related to crypto?

Check if your library let's you print. Mine let's me print something like 50 pages a month for free then you pay for any additional pages.
kyruzic··on We've filed a lawsuit against GitHub Copilot
No it's actually not.
kyruzic··on We've filed a lawsuit against GitHub Copilot
No because that's not a trademark violation in anyway. Using GPL code in a non GPL project is a violation of copyright law though.
kyruzic··on Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring
You're right, but that doesn't mean it doesn't mostly just work.

All OSes have these issues. Windows and MacOS are no exception.

kyruzic··on Nomad drained of $150m due to a coding mistake
That's like saying each train robbery during the settlement of the west was getting us one step closer to ending the settlement.

If anything these heists prove interest in web3 remains high.

Pulseaudio is one of the absolute best parts of Linux.

Have fun routing audio from one stream to one device and another stream to a different device on Windows or macos!
