  1. Yes! Just implemented these the other day for a long running process that I didn't want to lock a specific row for.
  2. The Qwen3 600M and 4B embedding models are near state of the art and aren't too computationally intensive.
  3. I think that's the point...
  4. I think the opposite is true. Sure, it's technically impressive, but users have been trained for decades at this point to understand how a basic marketing page should look and this isn't it. These kinds of sites are best left as portfolio pages for designers to show off their skills, not for B2B SaaS landing pages.
  5. The company names look like Amazon merchants.
  6. I have a deep love of A* because it was the first complex algorithm I fully understood. In my first data structures and algorithms in college (early 2000's), we had to pick an algorithm to study, code, and write a paper on and I picked A*.

    I spent hours painstakingly drawing similar grids that the author of this article made and manually doing the calculations [0]. I still have these notes somewhere, even though they're over 20 years old at this point, because I was so proud of the work I put into it.

    At any rate, thanks for this article and the trip down memory lane.

  7. Funny quip aside, thanks for bringing Arq to my attention. This looks excellent and isn't enshittified.
  8. How are you running the Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B model [0]? Running locally using llama.cpp, I asked it to briefly describe what happened in China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest and it responded with "I'm unable to engage in discussions regarding political matters due to the sensitive nature of the topic. Please feel free to ask any non-political questions you may have, and I'll be happy to assist."

    When I asked the same model about what happened during the 1970 Kent State shootings, it gave me exactly what I asked for.

  9. Symfony 7.2 can work as a micro framework, believe it or not: https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-2-simpler-single-f...
  10. It's funny, I've been working with HTML since 1998, and I got 36 (though I do think <font> should've been allowed). I thought I'd do a lot better, but I guess you can accomplish a lot with only a few tags, CSS, and some minimal JavaScript.
  11. The standard Windows Solitaire game is littered with ads - which you can disable for $2.49/month.
  12. My guess is it's shorter and easier to share.
  13. I'm ignorant of what this is: is this the "seed" prompt, so to speak? The prompt the ChatGPT engineers have given itself so it knows what it is and how to respond?
  14. Excellent article, thanks for writing and posting it.
  15. A little harsh, no? Damn dude.
  16. I instantly purchased this. I really love Tailwind and the component/UI libraries they sell. I'm shocked that a CSS library/framework is so divisive. If you don't like it, don't use it!

    I'm also surprised that someone ... selling something ... gets such negativity on Hacker News of all places. Again, if you don't like it or it doesn't have value to you, don't buy it!

  17. I paid for it because I love what Adam and team are doing with Tailwind. It's been incredibly beneficial to use as a backend engineer, and the amount of money paid is trivial to the benefits it provides.
