I basically jump away from Cursor to ChatGPT when I need to think thoroughly on something like an architecture decision or an edge case etc. Then when I've used ChatGPT to come up with an implementation plan, I jump back to Cursor and have Claude do the actual coding. O3 and ChatGPT's search functionality are just better (at least for myself) currently for "type 2" thinking tasks.

Feels to me that it's Google which has done the most recently to optimize the cost/performance-ratio of these models and no one seems to be talking about it.

Yup! I'm also hopeful that the upcoming type-checker from Astral will be an improvement over Mypy. I've found that Mypy's error messages are sometimes hard to reason about.

Truly one of the great python programming books. The one thing that I found missing was the lack of static typing in the code, but that was a deliberate decision by the authors.

While I don't have firsthand experience with these models, I recently discussed this topic with a friend who has used tree-based models like XGBoost for time series analysis. They noted that transformer-based architectures tend to yield decent performance on time series tasks with relatively little effort compared to tree models.

From what I understood, tree-based models can usually outperform transformers when given sufficient parameter tuning. However, models like TimeGPT offer decent performance without extensive tuning, making them an attractive option for quicker implementations.

Came here to point this out. Silo never had to invest huge amounts on GPUs. A shrewd move by the founders.

Have not heard of these. Where can I learn more about them?

> Core Technology Fee — iOS apps distributed from the App Store and/or an alternative app marketplace will pay €0.50 for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold.

If I'm reading this right (and I did double check this with ChatGPT [0]) if you have an app with two million unique installs annually, you owe Apple 500 000 euros. That seems to include free apps as well.

I've been wondering about Redis as vector database [0].

When was this? I might go chasing this lead down, but even a fuzzy estimation of when would help. Will come link it here if I find it.

This seems really cool, but I guess most companies in the EU won't dare to use this due to GDPR concerns and instead will opt-in for the Azure version, where you can choose to use GPT-models that are hosted in Azure's EU servers.

Lots of reasonable people seem to hold this view. Sam Altman himself mentioned believing this in the Lex Friedman podcast.

Here are tweets from famous HN users Simon Willison[0] and Patrick Mckenzie[1] endorsing the viewpoint as well.

This baffles me. I signed up for the GPT-4 API on Tuesday and got access to it yesterday. Not to mention being able to interact with the model through ChatGPT almost immediately after they made it available.

The new ChatGPT API is really good at this. I had it create fake documents for a demo, where hallusinations were not an issue. Really surprised at how well it worked.

I'd personally like to see more python books like Cosmic Python, that delve into how to build enterprise applications with the language. Feels like an unserved market compared to all the python related data science books that are really popular.

That said, at some point it starts to make sense to read open source repositories to pick up useful patterns.

I’m personally defaulting to pylance, flake8, black, mypy (strict), autoflake and isort to keep my Python code sensible. That said, it usually takes me like 15 minutes to set this all up in VSCode.

I write a newsletter[0] (in finnish) every weekday that summarises what has happened in tech. I've been doing this now for two years and its helped me keep my news addiction in check (ironically). Forcing yourself to write makes it easier to process stuff and during the weekends, when I'm not writing, I really don't have the urge to keep checking Twitter or Techmeme.

I've recently been playing around with Midjourney for the cover images and that's been a excercise as well.

OpenAI Is reportedly hiring dev contractors to teach the new version of their Codex model[0].

For all the Python devs reading this, a book that aims to cover DDD from a Python perspective is Architecture Patterns With Python [1]. It's free to read online and all the code can be found in Github.

Off-topic, but your app is really really cool!

Off-topic but a little tangential: There's a designer named Zander Whitehurst[0] on TikTok/Youtube Shorts teaching Figma in 30 to 60 second videos and I'm in love with the format. I do wonder whether it's effective, but I've learned quite a bit of Figma from him.

Thank's for this! I've been building a list of bootstrappers to follow on Twitter and added a bunch of these folks to said list [0].

Could this be used in VSCode as plugin to autoformat/lint my .sql files?

not op, but here's a bunch of bootstrapper podcasts:

* Startups for the rest of us

* Art of product

* Out of Beta

* Indiehackers

* Software Social

* Build your SaaS

The guy doing Startups for the rest of us, Rob Walling, also runs a bootstrapper conference called Microcof that I recommend checking out.

Apparently the JIT won't be introduced in 3.11 and these speed gains are due to other optimisations [0].

> Q: Is there a JIT compiler?

> A: No. We’re still exploring other optimizations.

I wonder how WASM will change the landscape for these frameworks. If Python had something like Yew [0], I'm not sure I'd be writing React for my Django backend.

Supabase.

I consider these cop-out answers, but Stratechery [0] and Money Stuff [1] are excellent. I'm bewildered daily by Matt Levines ability to write. Mobile Dev Memo is pretty good and follows mainly the mobile ad industry [2].

Apologies for the self-promotion, but in case any tech minded finns are reading this, I write a daily news letter about tech in finnish called Transistori [3].
