This is a limitation on foreign control of TikTok, not a limitation on speech. TikTok can stay in the us market if it eliminates the foreign control

This is an excellent article, and SaaS Pegasus is a great solution for people starting a project.

But some of the advice here is dated. The architectural patterns are still valid, but the specifics have changed:

* Vite instead of create-react-app (which is unmaintained now) / webpack / babel / Parcel / etc.

* Django-ninja as a lightweight API service.

I think these are important to call out because they really simplify the frontend compared to the previous options.

It’s been fascinating to watch this play out with the drone stories in NJ too. Despite all our amazing tech, we still can’t tell truth from fiction.

If VCs are giving you money they want you to try to become a large public company, so maybe no amendment is needed?

that is awesome! Thank you

Oh that sounds useful. Basically bypass the grid and just power an ac directly. Do you have any examples of units like this?

In California we pay a lot more for transmission than generation. Is that true in most places ?

It’s hard to wrap your head around how cheap solar is getting. Only get 1/4 as much sunlight? Just deploy 4x the panels!

The free market theory still works with the barriers, it’s just that the “excess profits” have to get even higher before someone steps in to build.

What does dual licensing AGPL/MIT do? Isn’t the MIT license more permissive in all cases?

That all makes sense, it sounds like you haven’t ruled out supporting TS directly in production, but it’s complex and you have to move carefully and you’re not sure if you’ll get all the way there. Is that right ?

Could you expand on why transpiling is the right long-term strategy for production? I get that right now you don't support some TS-specific features like enums. Is that the concern? Those seem like a few legacy exceptions, new TS capabilities will be "just javascript".

Not transpiling would be great to reduce toolchain complexity and eliminate the need for sourcemaps just to understand exceptions and debug.

At first I thought that's not a big deal, I could manage that with `nvm`. But I think you're right, you really want it to pick up the project-specific typescript so that you're using ONE version of typescript for type checking, execution, and more.

I wonder if they can evolve this into an autologous stem cell transplant: take a patient's own bone marrow sample, do the genetic mutation, and insert it back? It avoids the graft-versus-host issues of using stem cells from another person, so it should be reasonably safe (though still a major procedure)

The same thing happened to TCP/IP stacks in the 90s (and multiple alternate transport protocols). They were initially separate products, sold by different companies. Then TCP/IP was bundled into the OS in ~Windows 3.1.

By today's lens you'd say TCP is part of the OS, but this wasn't the state of the world in the early 90s.

If you had disallowed bundling then, we would still be buying separate TCP stacks for our OS!

Has it helped you lose weight or keep it off?

Love the UI. Good educational tool for founders.

If only building the company and going through all those funding rounds was as easy!

The weight of the battery won’t affect the energy needed to keep a car at a steady highway speed. The energy needed is just whatever losses come from friction, air resistance, etc

The biggest loss at highway speeds is actually wind. I think wind resistance goes up with the cube of speed.

As a result, electric cars are more efficient in typical city driving. You can see it in the MPG stickers , which are higher in city than highway for EVs

For gas cars, their most efficient speed is typically a steady 35-40 mph. For an electric, it’s 15-20. If there were no wind resistance both these numbers would be substantially higher.

I was wondering the same thing. I’d think these door plugs would be designed the same way as a door, so they can only be removed by pushing them into the plane.

I’ve always wondered why the price of electricity on a time-of-use plan doesn’t match this curve. Our electricity is still “peak” pricing in middle of day at the bottom of the duck curve.

Looks really cool and ambitious!

Curious why you guys decided to go open-source, and whether that was always the plan.

I didn’t realize that with Pandas 2.0, Pandas-to-Polars conversions can be zero copy if you use Arrow as the data frame format.

Note that 50,000 yen is $335. So that’s a ceiling on how much you’ll spend for 7 days of Shinkansen travel.

To make this a fair comparison you need to look at the average price per ticket, not the “starting at” price, and include the government subsidies of airports/security/atc/ etc that enable this system.

I would also add in a cost for carbon. I realize that’s more controversial but it seems like we will have to pay to remove co2 at some point.

I don’t know what the numbers look like when you do that.

Regardless, I do agree the amount per traveler to make a train work seems depressingly high.

It's sad that even great potential routes like SF->LA aren't accessible by train, and we don't seem to have the state capacity to build HSR there.

I was just in Japan, and took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto, which is a similar distance as SF to LA.

That train:

- runs every 10 minutes -- if you miss one, just take the next one!

- takes 2.5 hours travel time

- starts and ends in city centers on both ends.

- has better legroom and wider seats than economy

- free, fast Wifi on board, your cell signal still works, and you can use your computer the whole trip.

- has no security or boarding hassle. You can show up 5 minutes before departure and just get on.

- has no luggage limitations AFAICT

It's faster and far less stressful than flying SF to LA, with the security and boarding hassles, Ubers on both ends, and cramped onboard conditions.

I love this write up. Thank you ! I’m looking for more resources like this - clear examples of composing LLMs into useful systems. Some of the cookbook examples in langchain, chainlit , etc have been useful too.

Cool. I’d love to see a version for Tailwind!

I love the idea of community assets. could it be the start of a GPU co-op?

To punish Facebook for breaking their promise, he ... gave Facebook $850M (by not vesting all his equity) ?
