Far from being Trump fan I think reciprocal tariffs as a standard will be great. Sometimes we want the best, sometimes the cheapest and other times the fastest to ship. Companies would compete globally solely on those attributes and customers will ultimately win.
But it will hurt in the short term.

Ghostty is insanely fast and despite not having all the iTerm2 features yet it just became my default terminal.

Tested Sora, Nova Reel and Veo 2.
Google sets the new bar for video generation models. Nova Reel is really promising and superior on a few prompts involving real/concrete things. Sora is a disaster, especially thinking it’s been in the works for longer.

The difference between a 2021 Intel i7 MacBook Pro (with 16 GB of RAM) and a 2022 M2 MacBook Air (with just 8 GB of RAM) is impressive.
Apple won the consumer chip business — by a long margin.
And I’m not including LLM AI inference as it practically doesn’t work on Intel machines 🤓

What Alibaba is doing with GenAI is truly remarkable. Qwen2.5 Coder is equal or better than Claude 3.5 Sonnet but runs locally & quantized through Ollama.
Refactored a 11-year codebase in ancient Java to latest Java 21 was a breeze.

Recently played with both #Streamlit and #Taipy. Still not sure which one I would use the most if I was a Data/AI Engineer but both are really well built.
What are your suggestions for casual data engineers that values speed/easy of use vs. production-ready features?

It’s crazy on how something so fundamental to the web like properly handling URLs could be a “killer feature” for @bsky.app
Twitter/X and Meta went too far on their walled garden endeavors and a more pure & open web is here 🦋

A 10x improvement to any customer-facing application:
Start using semantic search in addition to your regular full-text searches.
This is a PostgreSQL query using OpenAI's embeddings to find relevant articles.
Results are magic.

It’s fun that Chrome started in 2008 to break the Internet Explorer monopoly back then.
While I prefer Firefox, I’m still a huge fan of Chromium and all its contributions to a better web. May be time to have it donated to Linux or Apache Foundation.

Golang immersion over the weekend. It’s remarkable how @robpike.io and others put tremendous focus on language ergonomics and simplicity.
Coming from C#, I still want to learn more foundations (and learn from other’s codebases) to jump into generics.

People bashing on Netflix because they had issues on a massive 65M+ concurrent viewers live sports event. Most of them would never properly handle a 650K one.
Netflix is learning a ton from this and our entire industry will be much better because of this.
Peace.

What a great surprise @bsky.app! Awesome UX and great people (particularly from tech) engaging. Feels like the good old days of Twitter.
Still need to have great news coverage to make the complete switch.
@atproto.com is a tech masterpiece on its own.
