> ...That is the realistic "install Postgres and go" baseline. RDS ran on its default parameter group, which AWS tunes for the instance size. Hostim runs its own managed tuning. In other words, the two managed options are tuned out of the box and the self-hosted default is not, and that difference is part of what you are comparing.

So... useless comparison vs Hetzner? Akin to comparing two laptops on a compile job, but leaving one in battery saver mode and then concluding that its 2x slower.

yes, I'm getting paid handsomely for delivering software faster than every before, using llm's. If you mistake that for marketing, then so be it.

This is as unhelpful as it gets. The genie is out of the bottle - people can create unimaginable things with claude within hours. What would take months/years can be done in a day or a week.

Being banned on those platforms is a real setback for many users. One might argue that openai etc. are valid alternatives, but when they dropped fable (and perhaps reinstate?), not being able to use it simply means others can do more/better.

yup, same thoughts here. I think someone is trolling the irc members. It's so over the top, like an episode of 'the office'. I'd be amazed if this were an honest message.

13x 'not ' found in that article. That's what AI's love to write.

This article on the other hand has 1: https://routerjockey.com/introducing-graphiant-the-future-of...

I don't mind either way, but reading through the Tim Cook one without opening the comments on HN, I was 99.9% sure I'm reading AI.

Probably you're right, but given the browser usage-distribution, I reckon most hackers wouldn't care about firefox at this point and solely concentrate on chrome. I reckon firefox users are on average, more tech savvy and given a hack, would be able to help themselves/find out about the hack quicker than the average chrome user.

While the text seems to be at least AI-supported, I think the research is still interesting. Whether that was done mostly by the author or an AI still, does not change much to me at least.

I'd appreciate some sort of disclaimer at the start of each article whether it's AI written/assisted or not. But I guess authors understand that it will diminish the perceived value of their work/part.

FAQ: Is it available worldwide? A: Yes. (...) outside the EU.

So, yes but no. Not that I care, but the answer to the above question is a no, and should start with No.

Having developed multiple react web apps from scratch over the last 5+ years at work, I always start with a fresh repo and add what I need myself. Nowadays, booting up a project with vite, eslint, prettier, redux (and rtk-query), tailwind etc. takes no time at all. Don't care about SSR. Am I missing something by not using tanstack? LLMs tell me many things, all of which seem irrelevant (e.g. not using react router, SSR, request-deduplication etc. which are covered by the basic few deps I added)

what percentage of people is using local models for anything serious? I reckon single digits if even that. And for a corporate work environment, probably close to 0.

Amazon.de for example already has it(for preorder). Oreilly books online has the first edition available right now. I reckon they might add the second revision when it comes out.

Didn't realize who's blog I'm reading. I was intrigued by the title, being a fan of 'self help' books. I mostly read about productivity (i.e. Feel-Good Productivity is a good one IMO), health, living a balanced life etc. and was expecting to find some a-ha moments in this post. I didn't. It confused me more than anything often talking about 'relationships' as if this is the only self-help kind of book there is.

And I have learnt a ton of lessons from self help books like the one I mentioned above, Arete, "how to make friends and influence people", Atomic Habits and others, without looking to fix any unhappiness, flaws of myself or whatnot. Was just curious what other, more experience people have learned about life that I can learn without having to wait 20-30+ years.

I get your point. But if sharing with others is a vital part of this, then ... they'd be better off sticking to web apps instead :) "Create with glaze, hit publish and we'll give you an url".

Even though they portray some of the benefits of this app as unique to desktop apps, they're not (e.g. storing data on device, offline mode etc.).

Am not a hater. Love Raycast. Saw the post and opened the link intrigued what they came up with and was somewhat disappointed tbh. Good luck to them anyway!

So, another wrapper around claude 4.6 for +xx% higher price? Using just claude code, one can do what glazeapp seems to aim for, no? "Beautiful by default" seems to be a system prompt akin to:

  Design Philosophy Create apps that feel premium, polished, and worthy of being featured on Dribbble's most popular shots. Every pixel matters. White space is your friend. Less is more, but what remains must be perfect.

  Visual Design Principles

  Color & Theming

  • Use sophisticated, limited color palettes (2-3 primary colors maximum) ...

You're right of course. For me the difference maker is in seeing on a projection chart that if I just cancel 2x zwift, disney and netflix, I can save up to:

Savings from Cuts

€11,048

€60/mo @ 8%

within 10 years. That's HUGE! While the 60 Euro a month seems kind of irrelevant on its own.

Dunno about that. Having used the $20 claude plan, I ran out of tokens within 30 minutes if running 3-4 agents at the same time. Often times, all 3-4 will run a build command at the end to confirm that the changes are successful. Thus the loss of tokens quickly gets out of hand.

Edit: Just remembered that sometimes, I see claude running the build step in two terminals, side-by-side at nearly the same time :D

great idea. thought about the waste of tokens dozens of times when I saw claude code increase the token count in the CLI after a build. I was wondering if there's a way to stop that, but not enough to actually look into it. I'd love for popular build tools to implement something along those lines!

hindsight is 20/20. If I'd known that Nvda, Aapl, Amzn etc. would go up, it's easy to now to regret how much money we'd have. Same thing with "RSU's" we get at FAANG. I often hear from coworkers that if they wouldn't have sold them when they got them, they'd be rich right now. Yes, they would be - but in an alternate universe, they'd have little/nothing and wouldn't have bought the car/camera/vacation they got out of the money when they sold the RSUs.

I added something related to this idea to my life-planning app: what if for projections. I track all my expenses/incomes/investments in my app. I then can with 1 click run a scenario where I move certain expenses to investments. I.e. cancelling netflix for 10 years, or xbox gamepass etc. and seeing what it would actually do to my 10 year projection (which already accounts for ETFs/Stock with variable return rates etc.). i.e.:

Exclude Recurring Expenses Simulate cutting these expenses and investing the savings Redirecting €19.99/month to investments

Then I see black on white what would happen if I get rid of all the 'small' subscriptions, on a visual chart. It's eye opening when one selects items that add up to a ~100 Euro ++ a month.
