Very good and interesting article, particularly the “loop” that he ended up with.

Amusing anecdotes on LLMs to:

> It did, in fact, make a lot of mistakes, kept doubting whether such a rewrite was even possible, and wanted to call it a day after each round of coding.

> Hilariously one of the most effective was to tell Claude to “think really hard about edge cases" in a background agent.

Intelligence as a new fundamental layer! These small programs that do so much really inspire me.

This is the tech equivalent of ‘my year of rest and relaxation’, enjoyable to read with talk of sports and projects. I think I will try this after my current job runs its course.

Looks really good and seems fast. My guess would be that this effect needs to be 99% or else people will notice something / although they may not be sure exactly what.

The best part of the world is actually each other.

Not sure what the point of this is. Every company I’ve worked at stores everything in notion. Managers and ops people keep it up to date and organize processes in there.

IDE support is definitely one area where DuckDB could be better. My current workflow is to edit SQL files in VS Code and then use ‘.read’ within the DuckDB CLI.

Blocking any .ai domain seems completely off the mark. I thought this would be sites which have obviously AI generated content.

Also commuting around this :) Looks to be very successful. I wonder how many tests the ship can pass in orbit.

Super cool. Embedded camera software is tough. Number one issue when I worked on it was dropping frames. You have 10 ms or so to get the frame to the next I/O stage - for example for streaming - and a lot has to happen. Double the challenge for stereo cameras.

Just from experience in the cloud industry, Microsoft is really successful within Europe, potentially more so than in America. I think this partnership will be really successful.

Wow thanks for clarifying. Heavy user of app passwords here.

HSA seeded with money is indeed amazing. I learned recently that HSA’s benefit from a triple tax advantage: the money goes in pretax, the money is withdrawn without tax, and any investment gains are tax free. Which - if you’re willing to do the paperwork - means you can just save the HSA money forever and pay yourself back out of it when you retire to cover medical expenses you previously incurred.

A friend has a very popular post on obsidian templates. Never really followed it until he told me it was the most visited post on his site by a large margin, https://dannb.org/blog/2022/obsidian-daily-note-template/

S3 storage costs are charged per GB month so 1 TB * .023 per GB / 730 hrs per month… should be 3 cents if the data was left in the bucket for an hour.[1]

However sounds like it was deleted almost right away. In that case the charge might be 0.03 / 60 if the data was around for a minute. Normally I would expect AWS to round this up to $0.01..

The TimedByteStorage value from the cost and usage report would be the ultimate determinant here.

Having gotten into the Hollow Knight series recently, this speaks to me.

Completely agree. This is more than half the battle for me. You might say it’s the entire job for some roles.

Congrats to him. I’ve seen stats that somewhere between 30-50% of all twins are born through IVF. So technically not a huge surprise on that result.

A little surprised on the 50% death rate for children before the age of 5 in 1800. It’s amazing how recent that is.

Good job Fastly. I would love to see metrics on bandwidth consumed from Arxiv. I always wonder how it and services like package repositories are able to provide their downloads for free.

I immediately thought of the Axolotl Tanks in Dune when I saw this list. Great name.

If nothing else it’s a fun game of cat and mouse in the most David vs Goliath way possible, to mix metaphors.

Is it likely that Apple just has an engineer working on reverse engineering Beeper to find and patch the latest method?

She didn’t think there would be employee backlash when they fired the guy who was almost finished closing a financing that would make most senior employees millionaires?

I respect that she and other board members didn’t like that Sam was trying to manipulate them into ousting her but their counterattack was poorly thought out.
