Can I ask what model(s) you used and how much did the tokens cost to build this?

I hope either Anthropic or OpenAI would share this info. Their post IPO the only thing they have to report is net margin, so we'll never know whether their costs are from inference or training.

Really cool!!

For all of the other commenters - this project isn't about practicality today. Obviously this isn't gonna be as good as using a cloud provider. But the tool draws a line of what is possible. Combination of making the models more efficient, and making local machines more capable can one day get us to a world where very high quality local models are economically feasible.

This doesn't seem particularly related?

y tho?

Anthropic seems to be playing the giant-tech-rent-capture game that all of the old guards have done for the past few years. We thought that the new age of AI might bring some fresh air into the mix, but I guess that optimism quickly faded.

Meta's greatest loss of the decade

This was inevitable, better now than later when the damage is less widespread. Now clawdbot (or whatever they decide to call themselves) will have to respond with better security safety nets. Individually will always naively download whatever is on the internet. Platforms needs to safeguard against that.

Remember the early days of Windows? yea it's gonna happen again with AI.

At least you won't be needing a heater for the winter

auto-generated GraphQL clients works really well if you have a larger codebase and large team. You can think of it as a forced high quality documentation.

If you are working in a small project with just a few engs. The additional lift for GraphQL might not be worth it. Especially if the team is not already well versed.

why did Presto got renamed to Trino? so confusing...

well, these robots will be operating in highly competitive markets offering 2-3 day shipping so Bangladeshi packers will not be in those labor markets.

With raising minimal wage in the US. We are likely looking at $10/hr in various markets. These robots run 24/7 so that is 1024365 = $87k saved per year. Even with depreciation counted in, it sounds pretty economical to me.

I have no doubt that a certain portion of workers benefitted from the new policy while some portion of workers did not. It is too early for anyone to judge the policy without the numbers being published from Amazon. My issue with the article is that it presents a single story of a person who was hurt by the policy and extrapolate that to be the overall tone at Amazon. This article relies on sensational and emotional aspects of one story, rather than facts and statistics.

The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker is a classic starter manual

How do you defend the statement "Each sensor creates a sphere of intelligence and the more data they collect, the smarter they get."

Do you mean each device gets smarter individually because the specific device learned more about the specific space? Or that there is some kind of supervised learning component where you would adjust the algorithm/model over time for every device.

Mission critical logins/passwords put on a notepad directly on your desktop.

It is appalling how many old school places do this.

Also, if you open up the top drawer of someone's desk, you are pretty likely going to find passwords there too.

Being the president-elect has its perks. One of which is the ability to summon tech industry's biggest CEOs & Execs. If anyone knows what they were chatting about, please do share!

all of the above?

is Step 1 also the final step?

There is also more hype about React than Angular. I don't exactly think that React is a 'better' framework than Angular. But the truth is the dev ecosystem loves React, which gives React Native a huge edge. I do believe that NativeScript would have been more popular than React Native if Angular(2) was more popular than React.

It really depends on the volume and size of your sale.

If you have high volume and low cost, you are better off going with something simple like Stripe/Braintree. The fees are relatively high, but the ease of implementation could be worth it.

If you have low volume and high cost, you should consider something that supports ACH payments. Like Dwolla or Stripe ACH. Stripe ACH only charges $5 max per transaction. That is great is you are selling $1k+ per unit.

The concept is fantastic. I do think that some details need to be ironed out for it to be developer-friendly.

Good: 1) I love higher abstraction for things that just work. I hate writing boilerplate code to do simple stuff. JS and Redis caching is one that I often have to write boilerplate code for. 2) Cheap and simple way to improve performance.

Bad: 1) Lacking fall-back mechanism and transparency about what would happen if error occurs, connection dies, etc. 2) One common reason (at least for me) people use redis caching instead of local caching is to have caching across difference servers or even services. How do you deal with conflict resolution and asynchronous operations?

Do you have thoughts on why you picked mobx over redux or other flux libs? What problem is mobx well suited for solving?

You should consider a MSc in Computer Science if you are lacking the skills to do what you want to do. This 'might' be the case if you are looking to do cool machine learning stuff and you are having trouble getting the positions at the big tech companies that you want to get into. That being said, I have seen exceptions.

You should not consider a MS in CS if 1) you want a cool looking resume, 2) you want to delay making decisions about what you want to do in life, 3) you think MS will make you a better tech founder, 4) you think you will get paid more / raise through the ranks faster with a MS.

Proliferation of extremely low-cost devices and propagation of near-free internet connection to those who are currently not connected.

The frontiers of technical products have been hyper focused on the few lucky individuals who have the latest iPhone/computer. Once we have more eyeballs on the internet from the late boomer countries, I believe the internet will change to address the needs of the folks who are using free (slow) internet and $20 devices.

do you find that ergonomic keyboards significantly reduce your wrist strain?

Freelance, or live in a car + buy gym membership to shower.

I found that 'tech education' has rarely been successful with my parents and some of their tech-less peers. What was interesting is that mobile technology changed the game for them. I used to set up skype, screenshare, etc on their latest computer but they would not even use them 'cause it is still too complicated. These days, they can easily use the latest communication tools on mobile apps. It is quite amazing how mobile app design has penetrated and entirely new segment of the population.

yeap, reddit is the place to go for this

I think it is important for you to think about how/to whom you want to sell your product. Do you want to have a bottom up approach where you sell to the engineers touching the code everyday? Or do you want to sell to the CXO of an organization?

If you want to sell to engineers, I think your page is fantastic. It is solving a problem that engineers face regularly - error/performance related analytics. But I don't think it really appeals to the business side. Most business folks do not know how to translate those pieces of analytics to business performance.
