The merchants of complexity will try to convince you that you can't do anything yourself these days. You can't do auth, you can't do scale, you can't run a database, you can't connect a computer to the internet. You're a helpless peon who should just buy their wares. No. Reject.

@AirbnbHelp Sure thing. Done! Thank you.

@AirbnbHelp Hi! There’s construction work at our Airbnb’s doorstep, and the host didn’t warn us. We spoke to support, but the ticket was closed unexpectedly. I opened another one, but now I can’t upload or reply—the text box is missing on both mobile and web.

@awilkinson Not so sure. The iMac went from a chunky box sitting on your desk to a thin rectangle, because the tech allowed for it. Could be the same with AVP: if it’s the “future of computing”, then that future will allow it to be smaller and lighter, and they’ll def go for it.

@cramforce “Eh” on the “business critical” argument. Slack is nice and all, but there are tons of alternatives to re-establish communication between teammates if your chat goes down for x amount of time. From WhatsApp, to email, to Tuple, to a myriad of other temporary emergency solutions.

@radaarshow @edbangerrecords Oh hell yesss 🔥

@devonzuegel If you and your family/friends are iPhone owners I suggest giving the social features built into iOS a go. Shared albums, group chats, etc. Work pretty well and with no ads. Throwing something into a shared album works like posting on a social network.

[Andrey Soloviev @MindRave]

@sschulz279 @MKBHD Yep.

@kwuchu @erikras @thekitze @peer_rich But Notion is an editor. Ark isn’t. And we are saving stuff to disk in a web browser - the web page itself.

[Andrey Soloviev @MindRave]

@heyeaslo Fully replacing native, perfectly optimized & functional apps with VC-funded software that might vanish overnight isn’t such a great idea. Plus, some of these don’t cancel each other out. E.g Notion & Notes - wildly different use-cases.

@KevinCotoDev @JohnLiquidity @DanHadzami @xirclebox @fredoiq Apply is cool but every time I read through the file afterwards, seeing the “@apply flex p-2 m-4 text-white font-semibold” (whatever), all I see is are CSS rules written in a bizarre shorthand way. Hurts readability more than it helps imho. But that’s just my experience.

@nonmayorpete “Help us and thanks to your priceless input you’ll be out of a job sooner rather than later! $25-45/hour now, $0/hour in a year! You’re in SO MUCH LUCK! Big opportunity! And Pete here will get retweets & follows. What’s not to like?”

[Andrey Soloviev @MindRave]

@vanschneider The Wire is still number one for me but Succession & BB are up there too. I’d say Succession is definitely the best thing I’ve watched in recent years.

@chrisalbon Haven’t tried training, but there’s been quite a lot of work done on running this stuff on CPUs, or using MPS inference for Apple Silicon GPUs (new). Llama.cpp works pretty well with 7B, 13B models on M1 Pro, for example, and with some tweaks python projects work as well.

[Andrey Soloviev @MindRave]

@Quentin_Leconte Seulement? Pfft. Si c’est pas au moins quelques Go et que ça bouffe pas la moitié de ton disque dur c’est pas marrant.

Sinon, il me semble que ça inclut la V8 et tout ce qui vient avec dans le build, non?

[Andrey Soloviev @MindRave]

@SICARMY__ Ah yes. "Deathpack". Prob opening for Webpack. 🤔

@dan_abramov All. The. Time.
