Ahh I didn't realize it was completely free. That's pretty crazy

Is it really that hard to just keep the API running?

SHA-256 should not be used as a KDF. Use Argon2 instead.

Jemini is such a nice touch
This is because when you click a shared TikTok link, your account and the sharer's accounts are associated in a social graph. The sharer will see your account as a suggested friend and vice versa.

The best feature is capturing photos and recording life's moments with a button, but that's also not something I'd want to introduce to my friend group for its own privacy and ethical reasons (vs. the implicit consent you have with the motions of pulling out a phone)

I have Claude Pro and peak hours are in the afternoon and at night for me in EST

Google Pixel marketing is doing wonders for Gemini in young populations. I have been seeing a lot more of their phones in my generation's hands.

Custom TPUs ftw
Re:Gemini 2.5 Flash on Friday April 18, 2025 @03:10PM (#43731032)
Honestly, the best part about Gemini, especially as a consumer product, is their super lax, or lack thereof, ratelimits. They never have capacity issues, unlike Claude which always feels slow or sometimes outright rejects requests during peak hours. Gemini is constantly speedy and has extremely generous context window limits on the Gemini apps.

Raycast[0] has Gemini support in their AI offering and it's native, fast and intuitive.

Re:Reducing Latency by 83% with Esoteric Linux Process Flags on Thursday March 06, 2025 @04:11PM (#43285119)
Haha, yea. When I was writing this blog post (we had already pushed to production) I came across that post when searching for sources to confirm my findings. Antonio and I were so surprised at the coincidence.
It just means a virtual onsite type interview process. Real time interviews for both skill and cultural fit.
My company actually encourages the use of AI. My interview process was one relatively complex take home, an explanation of my solutions and thinking, then a live "onsite" (via zoom) where I had to code in front of a senior engineer while thinking aloud.

If I was incompetent, I could've shoved the problem into o1 on ChatGPT and probably solved the problems, but I wouldn't have been able to provide insight into why I made the design choices I made and how I optimized my solutions, and that would've ultimately gotten me thrown out of the candidate pool.

DO sucks anyways. Hetzner is better.

Tailscale also has funnel which would be more secure for public exposure.

You're going to face a challenge of scalability. With so many results like Google, you can't fit every embeddings vector in memory. You'll need to work a database hybrid of in memory caching and disk persistent indices.
