@codewith55 All it needed was a little Taptic Engine!

Unpopular opinion: The MacBook Touch Bar deserved better improvement, not removal

@Tristanrhee3 Congrats Tristan!

350 followers used to be a dream Now it’s a reality and I’m thrilled Truly thankful for each of you

If Air Force One went down last month on its way to china and only one person on board could have been saved, it would be in the world’s best interest that individual is: A) Donald Trump B) Elon Musk C) Jensen Huang And Why?

@cmsinvests I was thinking about this when Air Force One was taking him and Jensen Huang to china last month. If that plane went down the world economy was going down with it!

@cmsinvests If Elon dies, the Ultra Pro Max great depression will be upon us.

Sometimes I feel like putting my entire $40,000 portfolio into $SPCX and just let it ride for the next 40 years. I’m currently 18, would this be a good idea?

@daltonc Every non-technical person I know refers to ChatGPT as chat

NextJs cold starts are so bad in the real world. With the most basic app possible they sit around 1s but if you add literally one dependency it bumps to a 5s cold start. Is anyone successfully server-rendering and not getting perf complaints from users?

A 2009 PHP app on bare metal serves 12,000 requests/min on 384MB RAM. Meanwhile, our modern React/Node.js rewrite needs 4GB just to start. 15 years of "progress" and we're using 10x more memory for the same functionality. What happened to efficiency?

@catalinmpit I don’t self host LLMs but I love this setup for standard development.

For those running local models, what’s your machine configuration? I’m thinking of selling my MacBook Pro M4 Max 48GB RAM and building a PC. Then get a MacBook Air for interacting with the LLM from the PC.

@jahirsheikh8 Given that I’ve seen this video in 15 different posts, guaranteed it has more than to 2gbs memory.

Only 2GB RAM is enough to run Linux. Yet most people still choose Windows.

When I was freshman in college I got an SDE internship at Amazon paying $8K per month. Up to that point in my life the highest "net worth" I ever had was $7K. That was an earth shattering moment reading that offer letter and it solidified to me that computer science would be a great career. There is no question in my mind that CS is still a great career path.

Software rots. If you don't maintain it, it will stop working. This is mostly a product of software being designed and built before its used. As time goes on it becomes clear how to the improve the user experience, security, or performance. To compound this, every piece of software depends on dozens of layers of other's work: ISA, CPU, kernel, libraries, frameworks, languages, compilers, runtimes. Changes to these will eventually mean changes will be needed to the software the relies on them.

can anyone ELI5 why software needs to be "maintained"? Like why do you need whole teams working on stuff that already works? Hardware doesn't work like this If it functions, it functions and does not need to be changed unless you're replacing something worn out.

Does anyone else think LinkedIn has the best daily games?

2 years ago I got a letter in the mail that I had written to myself in Jan 2014 as a class assignment. I wrote that I wanted to be like @elonmusk. I admired his innovation and still do to this day. It's too bad I didn't have any money/opportunity to invest in his businesses at the time.

@kushalbyatnal Glad you know I’ll have some 😂

@kushalbyatnal This is going to be a game changer!

today, we're open sourcing the Extend CLI watch Fable use it to parse and extract an entire corpus of documents — end to end, without leaving the terminal try it yourself: npm install -g @​extend-ai/cli it comes with a built-in agent skill, so claude code/codex/cursor know how to drive it out of the box

@bourscheid You might need to check your math on this one.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

I love NextJS file routing. Just such a great experience to know exactly where a page or route is defined.
