Re:How to Firefox on Tuesday July 22, 2025 @08:30AM (#44646059)
Firefox was my main browser after Chrome MV3 stuff, but now I'm moving to Orion by Kagi. I found, on my Macbook M1, Firefox hog the battery a lot seen from the energy impact on Mac's activity monitor (average 12hr power >1000 compared to Orion ~350). Don't expect extensions to work well on Orion, though, but I can live with it for now.
Re:Ask HN: Is Python Used in Production? on Monday May 26, 2025 @11:08AM (#44098183)
I'm interested in what qualifies as good Python production quality code. Do companies typically address this through hiring practices, or specific training on production patterns? Or is it more about how the open-source Python packages are developed?

Interesting, I hadn't fully considered how hiring constraints influence technology choices.

Ask HN: Is Python Used in Production?

I understand that Python is popular in educational settings due to its approachable syntax, and it is obviously ubiquitous in ML/AI development thanks to libraries like PyTorch and the broader scientific computing ecosystem.But what about beyond these domains? I'm interested in hearing from practitioners about any production usage across the industry.

Re:Mozilla to shut down Pocket on July 8 on Thursday May 22, 2025 @06:02PM (#44067625)
This is actually promising, kudos!

AI tagging feature like those in Pocket and Karakeep, in the first place, seems helpful. But months later, you will get lots of tags to handle. Content recommendation, especially if that only consider what we saved, can replace the tagging things I guess. I wonder how do you do this for free, though.

Also your HN/Reddit integration is what I'm looking for. The way I save things from HN so far in Karakeep is that I save the main article and add the HN url manually to the note.

Re:DeepSeek-R1 on Wednesday January 22, 2025 @09:24AM (#42793156)
So is it possible to load the ollama deepseek-r1 70b (43gb) model on my 24gb vram + 32gb ram machine? Does this depend on how I load the model, i.e., with ollama instead of other alternatives? Afaik, ollama is basically llama.cpp wrapper.

I have tried to deploy one myself with openwebui+ollama but only for small LLM. Not sure about the bigger one, worried if that will crash my machine someway. Are there any docs? I am curious about this and how that works if any.
