My father was very much the embodiment of the late 80s businessman. In the 90s he gave me his (now outdated) Dolch lunchbox. I lugged it around alright. It ran DOS and iirc was a 286 processor.…
The main difficulty I see in these "RETVRN TO SOVL" things is not the window-manager or desktop itself but the UI toolkits for the applications. GTK2 had so many excellent themes. Now GTK or libadwaita seem designed to…
io2 has lower latency than gp3, and better durability. We switched workloads off gp3, didn’t even need to provision crazy iops. It had a cascading effect of calming down.
It performs well in the domains we’ve implemented it. Cheap, fast, good enough, multimodal. Its a workhorse and it strikes a nice balance. I’m open to the suggestion that I’m just winging it here and happened to get…
Thx I’m digging into it but am somewhat comforted not to be alone in this. Turning up the level helps some but then we lose the speed. I don’t know that we’ll switch to 5.5 and may shop a different provider. Anecdotally…
At work we use haiku 4.5 for a handful of latency sensitive tasks that are fairly simple. It performs well. Just started testing 5.5 as I’ve been anticipating a nice improvement since it was teased. Results so far are…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x8_ZZhRL3YU&ra=m 54min in was what I was thinking of. “Lots of people have tried, you’re welcome to try” I apologize if I gave a bad gloss, but I think it was roughly in the spirit of what…
I think Richard Hipp has quipped “if you think you can build a better SQLite by god you’re welcome to try!”
Don’t take AI so damn seriously (rule 63)
We ran EBS for years. Finally the costs became ridiculous and we moved our entire dataset to S3. We’re saving 20k/month. There’s just no beating the price.
This kinda dissonance is uncomfortable. How do people reconcile it?
The AI slop is tiring man wtf. It’s so fucking lazy. The benchmark is comparing apples to oranges and doesn’t seem to be aware of it, and the way it’s written just reeks of LLM.
Exactly. Shows us what is true in the sense of the experience of being a human. It is resilient against slop because good literature has experiential depth. Maybe LLMs learn to emulate this some day, but I doubt it. Not…
Bro this is just slop.
Bro, this was the only reason I opened the comments, and I'm so happy to see someone else noticed. Even if they removed that, the utter sloppiness of the prose is unbelievable. Offensive, even.
The question that resonated with me was whether open source even matters anymore. I think it does but there are weird dynamics I don’t fully understand. I’m curious about HNs thoughts. My theories: Centralization around…
There are obvious tells that this was heavily curated by AI, the very thing it criticizes in the opening paras and roasts throughout as a life-destroyer. I don’t disagree with the premise, and I appreciate the roasts of…
This post reeks of being written by Claude. Surely you all feel it, too? Are people who write these kinds of posts lacking self awareness, integrity? Does it matter?
15 years ago GitHub was a strong signal for like-minded devs who were of the “let me code and slide pizza under the door” variety. The signal became less meaningful over time so people started optimizing for other…
I didn’t follow the article’s thesis. It felt written from a defensive crouch and claimed not to be punching down but it seemed to be radiating hostility the entire time. Something about vibe coding only replaces the…

Didn’t know the sackler family was Chinese.
Yeah, I had the same instinct - this feels very much like a "nice idea" but the execution falls short. I mean - busily banging on sqlite like this? Shit at that point just use Redis.
What on earth is this guy saying doesn’t he own like every kindle?
Read Moby Dick some time my friend.
