Correction in 2. Contrary to popular believe, sunnier countries in Europe have higher deficiency in vitamin d.

Spain have lower levels of vitamin d than Denmark.

Also got it last year.

I used to play with omarchy. It is good enough for a lot of use cases. For powerful work I just connect to remote session.

Perfect for planes in economy

Love it.

I would love that the size of the article is based on the number of upvotes (hardcoded).

* > 500 => take full width or 3. * 500 > 100 => Show it as right now. * > 100 => Just show the title.

Right now, local inference only make sense for privacy reasons.

This is common when processing PII. Lawyers, doctors our similar should not be using cloud solutions.

Also it's harder to setup and always more expensive than any cloud solution.

There is one missing that i am using as primary for the last 5 years.

The UX pyramid but applied to DX.

It basically states that you should not focus in making something significant enjoyable or convenient if you don't have something that is usable, reliable or remotely functional.

In my case. The prompt is normally a collection of ideas connected over time. Ai groups, structure, challenges and help me organize that ideas. Then, once I see something that I consider worth sharing, I ask to draft a blog post. 20 iterations over, and I have a blog post.

The prompt is normally larger than the content generated.

I find some parallelism between writing articles and Pull requests.

We are moving to a point in time, where we don't care if the PR was written by AI. We care that the author understand what is about, that it tested it and in general, we want the ownership.

With articles is the same. I don't care if it was written by AI, if the content is interesting, and ai make it easier to digest... That's a win win.

The problem is not the presentation. Is the content.

My self.

LLM helps me communicate my ideas better.

Thinking in different angles, focus on the main idea, structure in a post series... It constantly challenge my mess.

Opus and I, iterate over 20 times a single blog post.

Unpopular opinion.

Until now, ideas were only relevant when the owner was able to communicate then regardless of the impact of the idea.

LLM "democratize"(VC term) sharing ideas, as people with low communication skills can be heard.

For most users that wanted to run LLM locally, ollama solved the UX problem.

One command, and you are running the models even with the rocm drivers without knowing.

If llama provides such UX, they failed terrible at communicating that. Starting with the name. Llama.cpp: that's a cpp library! Ollama is the wrapper. That's the mental model. I don't want to build my own program! I just want to have fun :-P

Click on any Youtube video from any web in android. If you press anything that is not the back button immediately, you will loose the option to go back.

So this coming from google... it's funny. Welcome, but funny.

Thanks, I agree.

I’ve been asking myself the same thing for years. My take:

1. Peter Principle: people get promoted to their level of incompetence.

2. In many companies, it’s the only way to increase salary.

3. Some developers think it gives them more leverage or impact.

But honestly, most of the time it’s simpler: stakeholders want more output, and the best dev gets pushed into leading because there’s no one else.

It’s often less a “promotion” and more a gap the company needs to fill.

This feels jumping on the train of complain about Europe and fully bias.

If I apply my own bias I will call it:

    American companies abuse their dominance my enforcing non documented requirements, making other companies not able to reach their users.

Github says 2.8k files when selecting c (including headers...) https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Asystemd%2Fsystemd++langua...

If the project is even split in different parts that you need to understand... already makes the point.

I don't know how it is in US, but in Europe, the amount of scams is growing. Twitter blue checkmark was created to distinguish real humans vs scammers.

The fine was to protected the users from that scam.

I like paying taxes to protected the users that don't have the ability to detect scams as we all here have (most of the time).

EU miss the point equally to the Congress in uuss when non tech people believe they can rule (or just lobbied).

But on this case, there will be no problem if Twitter had decided to use another checkmark for pro accounts.

One hidden gem.

The closest free alternative is https://www.mitmproxy.org/ that is not even close.

And off course, https://www.wireshark.org/ but that is too generic and with a bigger learning curve.

Worth the money. And no subscription (or there weren't a subscription back then)

Services (or a set of Microservices) should mimic teams at the company. If we have polytree, that should represent departments.
