Thank you! It's been an excellent experience over the years really. Always easy to ship and always easy to keep up with flutter improvements which have come consistently.

I never felt that context size was any issue at all in codex. I don't know how their compaction works, but it just keeps on going as if it has no context limit at all. At least in my experience.

From 50 to 5 seconds. The world's fastest and most up to date investment ai. It's powered directly through our database to ground the information and reduce hallucinations. Still in development though.

How do you expect the developers to pay for the service? Map tiles alone are already very expensive and data heavy.
Re:IPv6 Traffic Crosses the 50% Mark for the First Time on Thursday April 16, 2026 @03:16AM (#47789715)
Setting up my own server (migrating off GCP LB) taught me so much about networking. I was especially surprised that providing IPv6 is such a performance boost for low bandwidth phones since they mostly only operate on IPv6 by now and IPv4 needs some sort of special roundtrip.
On slightly off topic note: Codex is absolutely fantastic right now. I'm constantly in awe since switching from Claude a week ago.
Write down 10 of your TODOs that generate income. As per natural law, it's likely that 1-2 of those TODOs will have 80% of the impact while the other 8-9 will have almost no impact. Now here comes the interesting part. You propably already know the 8-9 tasks that have almost no impact, but as per another law, those are also the easiest tasks (checking mails and such). On that list the TODO that feels like the biggest hassle and you least want to do will likely have the biggest impact. Sit down and just do it. Now, without delay. That already makes you more productive than 98% of your colleagues.

https://stockevents.app - You can subscribe to stocks and never miss out on important events again.
This is actually much more important than the volume of data transferred. Having 33% lower latencies across the globe would be huge.

Re:OpenAI: Scaling PostgreSQL to the Next Level on Friday May 23, 2025 @08:27AM (#44072216)
They seem to be using physical replication. I'm currently thinking of switching to logical replication to reduce inter region egress cost.

Do you think that's a good idea? There seems to be many improvements to native logical replication since Postgres 17.

Ask HN: Do you still use Search Engines?

Today, I noticed that my behavior has shifted over the past few months. Right now, I exclusively use ChatGPT for any kind of search or question.Using Google now feels completely lackluster in comparison.I've noticed the same thing happening in my circle of friends as well—and they don’t even have a technical background.How about you?

A stock market app that helps reduce the time one has to look at news and other information to know what's going on: https://stockevents.app
This is a good take. For some queries you'd spend hours browsing and reading yourself, which in turn would cost probably much more power if you consider my desktop setup with a tower and big monitor as well as my own time and energy.
Thank you! This is great.

Do you happen to know keyword tools that specialize on app store and play store search?

I was flying to Schiphol on Monday and use that airport as my favorite for long-haul flights, even though I'm from Germany. It's a really nice airport.
Re:Ask HN: Alternative to Mint.com? on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @11:35AM (#39276457)
Account connection services are insanely expensive and you don't want to create all that yourself. That would be even more expensive to maintain. That's why there's services like Plaid. For every user it costs at least 1$ a month per user per connected account. That alone creates a huge amount of ongoing expenses.

That's why we don't offer the ability to connect accounts within our app. Users don't understand or don't want to understand that such a feature alone would easily double the subscription price. Without VC you cannot give users the ability to connect their accounts for free without losing lots of money.

Re:Ask HN: How many of you are self employed? on Monday February 05, 2024 @09:45AM (#39261729)
I'm self employed with https://stockevents.app as well as employed as the Head of Product Management for a construction software company.
It's so impressive that all of them got out alive.

It's also the first hull loss of an A350. Seems to be an amazingly safe plane considering this.

Look into the new ID7. I will get mine in a few months and from what I heard so far it's a damn good car. Everyone who tested it was thrilled.
