ksylvest··on OpenAI o3 and o4-mini
Are these available via the API? I'm getting back 'model_not_found' when testing.
ksylvest··on OmniAI 2.0: An LLM-Agnostic Ruby Library
Thanks for sharing thunderbong!

ksylvest··on Skylight, a Ruby profiler, free for open source applications
Do you find it significantly better than NewRelic?
ksylvest··on Driving on electricity is cheaper than gas in all 50 states
Shouldn't one also factor in the cost of purchasing comparably classed vehicles? For example - the base Nissan Leaf costs 29k versus a comparable Nissan Versa costing 14k. 15k difference in vehicle is equivalent to just over 6000 gallons of gas (or around 186 thousand miles).
ksylvest··on Zenefits, a Rocket That Fell to Earth, Tries to Launch Again
Zenefits still doesn't have an API right? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6111669
ksylvest··on Canadian Comedian Fined $42,000 for Telling a Joke
Unlike the United States Canadian freedom of speech isn't nearly as absolute. As an example hate speech isn't protected (unclear if his bit is / might be considered that).
ksylvest··on White graduates of Harvard make $94,000 more salary than their black classmates
That to me shows an income disparity of approximately 20,000 between white (and asian) men and black (and hispanic and native american) men 6 - 8 years after getting an MBA.
ksylvest··on FinderPath
Try: ⌘ + SHIFT + G
ksylvest··on Alamofire: HTTP Networking in Swift
Awesome!
ksylvest··on iOS Hat – Turn Photoshop Layers to Objective-C
Why not use interface builder?
ksylvest··on Heroku WebSocket performance
You can keep a single free Dyno "awake" by hitting it with a request at least once per hour. If you use New Relic the built in availability monitoring will do the trick and otherwise Scheduler should work. For more info:

ksylvest··on Engulf, A Graphical HTTP Benchmarker written in Clojure + D3.js
Wicked!
ksylvest··on Gitbox 1.5: native undo for git operations
