sweca··on I sped up serde_json strings by 20%
I swear the target folder for literally any project of any scale is at least several GB in size.
sweca··on Ask HN: How do you work as a tech lead?
Maybe it's just me but this feels like micro management. Especially the daily chats where they show you their work in the editor. Your team's autonomy is being minimized.
sweca··on There Is No Website
There is no game was one of my favourite online games as a kid. It's cool to see it in another form
sweca··on Hermes 3: The First Fine-Tuned Llama 3.1 405B Model
Were you using the API or ChatGPT? ChatGPT uses RAG on large documents which is useless for many tasks.
sweca··on GitHub was down
This will have a fun post mortem
sweca··on AMD records its highest server market share in decades
I just bought an AMD chip for my new server build for this reason. But then I found out about the Sinkclose vulnerability...
sweca··on Show HN: My 70 year old grandma is learning to code and made a word game
Got the word in 7 guesses! This is fun
sweca··on ChatGPT unexpectedly began speaking in a user's cloned voice during testing
Despite it being creepy, this is super cool from a technical standpoint.
sweca··on US FDA approves nasal spray alternative to EpiPen for allergic reactions
The patient does not need to be actively inhaling, even though it's recommended. There's enough pressure that the nasal spray will spring up into the nasal mucosa to be absorbed into the blood.

Haven't heard of that one. But neffy uses 3 mg of epinephrine.
sweca··on US FDA approves nasal spray alternative to EpiPen for allergic reactions
neffy is priced at $99.50 per unit.

> ARS Pharma will offer neffy at a price of $199 for two doses via digital pharmacy sites like BlinkRx and GoodRx for eligible patients whose insurance plans do not cover neffy. Some commercially insured patients can access the treatment at $25 for each filled prescription of two single-use neffy devices through a co-pay savings program.

I have anaphylaxis and I highly disagree about the needle being insignificant. It can be and has been a huge cause of inaction due to fear of feeling and misplacing the needle, e.g. puncturing a vein. I think both can be true: the additional shelf life is fantastic, but so is the needle-free usage.

Hmm... Canada had something like Auvi-Q called Allerject but it was recalled due to mechanical malfunctions.

Not only is it cheaper, but you need to replace it much less as its shelf life is 30 months[0], compared to Epipens which are recommended every year of shelf life.

sweca··on Gru.ai – An Advanced AI Developer
Have you tested the site on mobile? It looks like there's a missing viewport tag.
sweca··on AI mental health companion with GPT-4o-like real time voice chat
The author said that it's private, but you have to trust them of course. https://reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1ejlo4m/created_an_emotio...
sweca··on FastHTML – Modern web applications in pure Python
Fantastic design!

sweca··on The secret of Minecraft (2014)
And that awful PvP upgrade. Although that's probably an unpopular opinion.
sweca··on The secret of Minecraft (2014)
1.8.9 is the best version. It's the calm before the storm.
sweca··on The New Internet
Even though I don't agree with the whole "New Internet" thing, this article is very well written.
sweca··on Show HN: We made glhf.chat – run almost any open-source LLM, including 405B
Thanks for the recommendation! Fireworks pricing looks amazing still. $3 for input AND output, vs $3 and $15 for the comparable Claude 3.5 Sonnet from Anthropic.

If you guys can beat Together AI pricing on LlaMa 3.1 405B, you will be my favourite AI provider
sweca··on Google Pixel 'Satellite SOS' support may be free for two years
Apple is also free for 2 years[0], but last year they extended it for another[1].

sweca··on Button Stealer
This sounds like a great way to find inspiration for UI UX designs
sweca··on When ChatGPT summarises, it does nothing of the kind
Agreed that RAG, especially undeclared RAG, needs to go. It's misleading and causes hallucinations for the majority of tasks.
sweca··on So you think you know box shadows?
Worked very well on my Pixel 7 in Chrome too
sweca··on AI paid for by Ads – the GPT-4o mini inflection point
There will also be a lot of human + AI content I imagine.
