> The fastest moving and most effective organizations I've worked at are ones that focused on code quality from the beginning. I agree with that in the pre-LLM world, but I don’t believe it’s the same today. You can…
I saw this video on Ars Technica about the making of Prince of Persia in the original Apple II and decided to get the book: https://youtu.be/sw0VfmXKq54?is=_QUEAlmdYJZuXeGr The book is called “The Making of Prince of…
I started coding around 2013, picked up a book, learned Java and started building Android apps. It was fun at the time, and pretty painless to get your app in the store. Fast forward to last year, with all the rage…
Not OP, but I’m running local models on a M1 Max as well with 64GB RAM. It varies by model, but I’m getting 50-60 t/s with Qwen 3.6 35B and Qwen 3 coder 30B. I’ve also used Qwen 3.8 27B but I get 10t/s on it. It’s…
I was interested in learning more about reverse image search, so I built audioguide.london. It’s a simple image search where you take a photo of an artwork in a gallery, tries to ID it and returns a pre-generated audio…
As mentioned before, I think Apple hardware is the best alternative right now. Mac Studio, Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, you can find even some used ones with enough RAM that will run models like Qwen reasonably well. I'm…
A fun project doesn't need to be original, IMO. URL Shortener is still one of the most popular System Design questions, building this project is a great way to have some experience / understanding of it, for example.
Loved the idea!
VictorSantiago.me Only actual update I do is to change my title / company when I change jobs, otherwise it's just a landing page to link to my GH, LinkedIn, etc. No blogs or anything exciting.
When AWS released the S3 Vectors last year, I wanted to try it since I had no experience with Vector DBs, so I built a simple audioguide app to play around with it. Basically, just use it to identify artworks from a…
Are you able to sponsor visa? Already based in London, but would need visa to switch jobs.
The way you put it, looks like IBM is a pretty good place to work at
The homebrew scene still exists today, just moved consoles. I was just playing around with the Xbox Dev Mode this weekend and trying out different emulators.
> The fact this tech is becoming g democratized is good. The issue is that it's only democratized if you have the money.
I'd imagine not everything can be paid on a credit card. E.g.: Rent.
> most locals want to go to UK and the US to live Absolutely not the impression I got when I lived there.
You don't need to be badly paid to enjoy free lunch.
They did pay their bonus in some Binance crypto coin, but at least their base salary was relatively high.

Why is it even suspected to be her? Just because of the account name?
Why fiasco?
Not agreeing with his points, but funnily enough, I think Sony does use Azure.
So, in other words is not one person who is pushing to remain on Whatsapp, but instead only one person pushing to leave.
Worked until the end for me. Nice little retrospective game.
Who is the "rest of us"? Facebook, Twitter...? It's obvious there should have been more moderation. However, Parler is a 30 employee start up. Their efforts would fall sort of the ideal either way...
