tgibaon $500 GPU outperforms Claude Sonnet on coding benchmarks

Despite skepticism I love to see experiments like that. If we all are able to run an open source model locally on mid-high end machines I'd be very happy.

tgibaon Self-hosting my photos with Immich

I use my Immich instance locally as photos and videos storage for 7-8 months now. It's really amazing. Reading comments here I'd say it's medium-difficulty tier to set up. I have it on my Elitedesk 800 G3 mini, in Docker Compose, with hardware encoding and it's more than sufficient to handle this work. Never had a bug.

tgibaon LinkedIn is building a gig marketplace

Given how LinkedIn quality of network plummeted over past ~5 years I don't think they will have great success in throwing marketplace into the mix.

tgibaon LinkedIn’s Alternate Universe

LinkedIN should redefine it's connections definition. In my network I have people who 1) I know personally, close friends 2) professionally, where a friendship lasts as long as we work together 3) also people who I've seen on meetups etc., we both know we work in the same area of expertise, but never had a chance to talk 4) and people who look like we could do business together.

I think it's good thing to keep up with all of them, but it also obscures professional network for all of us.

tgibaon Ask HN: Is RSS dead?

Nobody saw anything wrong in RSS until Google Reader came along, then everyone started using the reader, then content creators realized that GR is stealing thunder and started dropping RSS, and then GR died and we ended up with no Reader and no RSS.

It's certainly not dead, but it's not as popular as it used to be.
