It’s simply not understanding. In terms of latency, LLM processing for large fact-based decision-making was incredibly slow. The real unlock here was speed in decision-making.

yeah grinding on side projects, while everything is in flames.

this is fine.

you can see the diff before you merge it. my main use case for lg is looking at diff and staging logical parts then committing with another tool or manually.

what love to hear more about how people are using agents to build useful things.

This is the feature, I want.
Nice! Are the plans to move upstream into voice chat or recording software for demos?

Re:A minor memorial for Leo Laporte on terrestrial AM radio on Sunday December 18, 2022 @06:14PM (#34045322)
I was a big fan, growing up. Screensavers etc. I haven't kept up as much since, but he was a big reason, I got into computers as a kid. Big up Leo.
Re:Show HN: A native macOS client for Apache Kafka on Sunday November 20, 2022 @04:20PM (#33685447)
yeah just grab a cheap external microphone, it will do the trick! Keep up the awesome work.
Re:Show HN: A native macOS client for Apache Kafka on Sunday November 20, 2022 @04:07PM (#33685312)
Very cool project! I wanted to listen to your video, but the microphone noise was too much.

I hope you do a walk through of the code for this.

I have written something about this which says SOA is quite the middle ground. https://architecturenotes.co/granularity-of-systems/
Re:12 Factor App Revisited on Tuesday October 11, 2022 @12:39PM (#33165499)
That’s fair feedback. Large screen at home. I will try and resize them. Thanks!
I totally agree with this.
Re:12 Factor App Revisited on Tuesday October 11, 2022 @11:23AM (#33164452)
Thought it might be cool to take a pass on 12 Factor application and how its evolved since it first came out!
Re:Redis explained on Friday August 12, 2022 @08:28AM (#32437488)
I would ensure that the data size is managed if you hit the limits due to your policy Redis will stop responding to ensure the data it has isn’t lost. I would also turn on some sort of persistence for data recovery in case of catastrophic failure. Early on this is totally fine and I would setup some monitors in redis data size relative to memory and try to keep 20% overhead weird things start to happen when systems are memory constrained.

This is a good idea, maybe a prompt for another post.

Re:Redis explained on Thursday August 11, 2022 @11:47AM (#32427518)
Fair point! Will update! I think the focus was on pure line latency. Check out the more detailed post here. https://gist.github.com/jboner/2841832

My personal nightmare happened and accidentally published a rough draft! It has since been updated! Apologies!
Re:Redis explained on Thursday August 11, 2022 @11:12AM (#32426950)
I wrote a little post on how Redis works and its various setups! How does everyone setup Redis? Elasticache is a good answer too :P
I write architecturenotes.co for this specific reason. Check it out.
Small plug for what I am working on https://architecturenotes.co which is designed to help with that you are try to learn.
