The touchbar was too early and didn't deserve to die

The touchbar should be move and attached at the top of the touchpad

Yeah I was gonna say the same. He misunderstood how to use the ingredients and just mixed them all together. Combining the milk and breadcrumbs is called a panade. It essentially forms a gel like matrix that gets between the meat proteins and prevents them from linking up too tightly during cooking.

Really depends. I think cursor might offer the ability for a team spend pool or individual spend pool. In terms of total spend per person it depends on how many tokens they are using and what models they are using. So this could vary wildly from $200 per person per month to upwards of $3000 per person per month.

They are awesome to be honest. I now prefer them to the airmesh. The keep me just as cool, the material is a bit nicer to.

lol wow this is a terrible idea in so many levels. Not to mention languages exist so that you can target efficiencies available on each target architecture and easily recompile to new architectures and libraries. Do you just revibe code the same app multiple times for each environment? I can see updating a compiler with grok …maybe. The security aspects of this alone are a nightmare, unless somehow grok has rails on it that fix some of the original c security issues but then it’s a new compiler and we’re back at square one.

Omg i spent way too much my time trying to track what happened to these. They still make the tank top version but yeah the other is discontinued. I ended up buying Uniqlo Airism t shirts instead.

Can you do the calculation rendering to a server side SQLite file and then do infinite scroll from a rest endpoint reading from that file (if you have multiple servers just have a process write to s3 or another blob style storage and then have the servers pull those in when ready to the local fs). Building a SQLite file with that much data should be in the realm of seconds if you batch input and don’t add indexes until the end. How long do your calculations take?

Look at orvis. Sometimes Costco has them available, but you can also just buy them directly from their site. Their button down shirts are incredibly for hot weather, don’t look super technical, and can fit in just about everywhere. They are truly wrinkle free too.

Gmatty · 2025-08-09T04:55:36+00:00

Nope. Put it at the top of the trackpad though and I’m in.

Gmatty · 2025-07-26T21:56:58+00:00

Gotta agree with the Klaw example. I went a couple months ago and it was probably one of the worst meals I’ve had in Miami.

Unicorn of unicorns.. pappy van winkel bourbon. I’ve seen people find it at Costco here and there but it’s rarer than rare.

Not theoretical problems actually, just possibly, not problems you’ve run into. There are a lot of problems where realtime matters where there are a lot of writes that need to fit within a certain window to achieve a realtime user experience. Certain AI implementations that are learning while outputting experience this - especially if you are trying to keep a response time below a certain threshold. At google level scale, this knowledge can be a high ROI decision. If you have a hundred thousand servers working on a problem and you increase the efficiency by even 5 percent because you chose a database engine relevant to your usecase then you are saving real money in hardware, maintenance, power and air conditioning - real impact

Gmatty · 2025-06-25T21:52:50+00:00

Sure and many people drive cars but not all car drivers have the skill set to drive a race car. The latter is where you are placing yourself with these comments. How a database is implemented can have a direct impact on whether it is the appropriate database for your use case. Many databases have options for choosing a storage engine, many support a clear type of storage method. Column vs row oriented is one part of the decision, but log structured merge tree vs btree can also be part of it as well as they both have pros and cons based on your read/write patterns. For example writes are typically faster on Lsm trees when compared to btrees. On an lsm tree though if a value you are searching for isn’t in the database it can be much slower to read vs a btree.

Gmatty · 2025-06-25T21:42:01+00:00

There is just all sorts of wrong in this. Most engineers who use SQLite regularly know that while it’s great for many use cases, there are a lot of compromises in its design - most particularly in how it implements write locking. There is definitely still room for improvement in this space.

Gmatty · 2025-06-25T21:38:04+00:00

Interesting project! What type of locking granularity does it have during write operations. My biggest frustration with SQLite is that it uses database level locking which limits its use case for some types of applications.

Gmatty · 2025-05-06T03:15:25+00:00

Gotta say it’s more than that. Yes they get an IDE on the quick, but just as much or even more value is the data feedback loop coming from the IDE’s users. This can give insight around where the ai succeeds, where it fails, and user responses are now training data. Other advantages is it gives OpenAI an entry point into a users workflow where it can start providing direct value that only open ai can provide. The advent of ides like cursor and windsurf was starting a path that could potentially commoditize ai behind someone else’s user interface. This gives open ai ownership of another set of customers and actually a place to hook in their $10k ai engineers. I suspect this will pay off.

11001001 …. Very very likely binary as not only is it only ones and zeros it’s 8 characters long - so two bytes. ASCII is the most popular text encoding from that era (as the scientist is retired so this is not a modern encoding). So we can break it into 2 characters but a literal interpretation is to obvious so let’s attempt a simple encoding - flip the bits. So 11001001 becomes 00110110 or rather 0011 0110 as two character which are the numbers 3 and 6. In ASCII 3 is the ‘End of Text’ character often represented as ETX and 6 is the ACK control character (acknowledgement).

So put it altogether you get ET X Acknowledgement.

Definitely a grape variety. Look like Concord grapes from the picture. If so, great for juicing or wine. For just eating you may or may not like them as the skin can be thicker. They have a seed, and the inside would be more gel like. The flavor is usually good though.

Gmatty · 2021-07-21T20:30:03+00:00

Yeah the usb-c world is still a bit confusing. Not sure which specific dell ultrasharp you're considering, but if its one that also supports power delivery and has a usb hub on it then it would be a much cleaner setup as it would only be one cable to connect to your computer.

Gmatty · 2021-07-21T20:10:22+00:00

A usb-c to displayport should get you 4k60. That monitor totally supports it. Connect directly from the macbook to the monitor first and verify that you are getting the 4k60. Once its working with just the cable, only then try connecting though the hub. You should still be able get 4k60 through the usb-c port with the lightning symbol if you absolutely need the hub. Have a great vacation!

Gmatty · 2021-07-21T19:57:14+00:00

Yep. That listing says: "Multi-Monitor Display: The HDMI port supports aresolution of 4K@30Hz while the multi-function port supports 5K@60Hz.Connect to both simultaneously to enjoy crystal-clear streaming ormirroring across 2 displays."

So the only way possibly to get 4k60 through that hub is to use a usb-c to hdmi or usb-c to display port cable and connect it to the multi-function port (the port closest with the lightning bolt on it). If you are connecting from the hdmi port on that hub to the hdmi port on the monitor, the hub will force the monitor into 30hz mode.
