My name is Srđan Prodanović. I'm a hacker, designer & socialite with 17+ years of experience and good skill acquisition, based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Failed at trying an e-commerce SaaS (Fatsell), co-founder of a design studio (Ljudje d.o.o.), contributed to a number of local creative industry initiatives, did engineering and product at Joan (https://getjoan.com) and Radical Motion (https://radicalmotion.com). Exhibited art at ARS Electronica and Cukrarna. Whatever.

Why does Vercel provide Next.js? Aside from talent & tightly coupling Astro to their services, their North Star might be similar to Weekly Number of New Domains Hosted On Cloudflare. Sponsoring a framework that helps ship performant websites feeds into that metric.

I have no inside knowledge, though.

Feels odd that two feature-equivalent plans are segregated with neighboring duplicates into monthly and yearly branches. I would consider monthly Enterprise & yearly Enterprise the same plan, with modified cost & billing frequency.

Hard to read. The writing style detracts from the message. I guess the takeaway of the article is that "Lean Startup" is the way to run a company?

I remember some "How it's made" videos where conveyor belts and automation were put to very good use in baking cookies, and such. I take it that this implementation is more artisanal?

edit: The gummies are special because they can potentially glow and deform in a unique way. Interactivity is possibly overstated in this case.

My questions are more along the lines of:

  - Does it liberate people from meaningless employment?
  - Does it give a sufficient platform to people to bootstrap their own trade?
  - Does it give people the runway for meaningful creation / artistic self-actualization?

Cool. Redis in front of Postgres always brought peace-of-mind that will likely be welcome for the vector data use-case.

P.s.: Appreciate the llm command line tool.

From where I left 2 years ago

Where would a Redis vector store play a part though? Maybe you'd load up relevant embeddings for a particular user while they're interacting with their dataset, to make their responses quicker? You've already spent the effort on hydrating their data out of persistence though. I guess step one is likely being a more trusted alternative to the in-memory vector solutions like HNSW, Faiss, and a potentially faster engine than pg_vector. I've always seen Redis as an augmentation, but maybe in this role it can take the helm?

You might have a problem using CUDA as part of the name, since Nvidia has it trademarked. Maybe you can switch to Scuba if they give you trouble, sounds like a good name for the tool.

"Allegory of the cave" comes to mind, when trying to describe the understanding that's missing from diffusion models. I think a super-model with such qualifications would require a number of ControlNets in a non-visual domains to be able to encode understanding of the underlying physics. Diffusion models can render permutations of whatever they've seen fairly well without that, though.

It appears that the author was indeed not too closely familiar with the premise of the Y2K bug, as they mention the change "from 19 to 20"

... the Y2K Bug, and it prophesied that on January 1, 2000, computers the world over would be unable to process the thousandth-digit change from 19 to 20 as 1999 rolled into 2000 and would crash ...

That wouldn't be problematic, since the numbers don't loop around (like when going from 99 to 00).
