<p>It's a really weird situation, but using public transport WiFi cured me of this thinking.<p>The amount of times that the initial HTML, CSS and JS came through, but then choked on fetching the page content was insane. Staring at a spinner is more insulting than the page just not loading.<p>That being said, I'm not a huge fan of RSCs either. Dumping the entire VDOM state into a script tag then loading the full React runtime seems like a waste of bandwidth.</p>

<p>Maybe this is just a skill issue, but even with several attempts I just can't figure out why I would use stacked diffs/PRs. Though maybe that's because of the way I work?<p>I notice a lot of examples just vaguely mention "oh, you can have others review your previous changes while you continue working", but this one doesnt make sense to me. Often times, the first set of commits doesn't even make it to the end result. I'm working on a feature using lexical, and at this point I had to rewrite the damn thing 3 times. The time of other devs is quite valuable and I can't imagine wasting it by having them review something that doesn't even make it in.<p>Now, I have been in situations where I have some ready changes and I need to build something on top. But it's not something just making another branch on top + rebase once the original is merged wouldn't solve.<p>Is this really worth so much hype?</p>

<p>This would be true if the models were capable of always completing the tasks. But, since their failure rate is fairly high, going in a wrong direction for longer could mean that you take more time than a faster model, where you can spot it going wrong earlier.</p>

<p>This is a pretty interesting topic.<p>For GO, switching to Linux (with an AMD card) was a free performance boost. I gained like 30fps.<p>For early CS2, the performance on Linux was terrible.<p>Now, the peak fps is slightly worse, but the frame pacing is much more stable. Eg: you get less fps, but also less fps drops.</p>

<p>Some feedback:<p>- Nice idea, though after playing Turing complete, I would like to skip the beginning and move to stuff that makes GPUs different to CPUs. But it's understandable.<p>- I'm not smart enough to intuit NAND from transistors. I'm also not sure I will be alone in that. It's such a weird difficulty wall.<p>- Speaking of, the difficulty is all over the place. Though easy mode is appreciated.<p>- Even with a n key rollover keyboard, I couldn't complete the capacitor refresh level. It seems like it speeds up and certain capacitors already start empty.<p>- The routing for wires is no good atrocious. Any level with more than 8 components will end up impossible to read.<p>- It doesn't help that you can't color code or even path wires manually.<p>- Might be Firefox only, but I had a hard time selecting the connection points.<p>- Dragging the mouse along the edge should pan. Otherwise you have to drop the connection and zoom.<p>- I appreciate the added "show solution". But it's not really giving you a solution. It's just a better hint.<p>- An option to show all tests or at least more tests would get great.</p>

<p>It depends on the hardware, backend and options. I've recently tried running some local AIs (Qwen3.5 9B for the numbers here) on an older AMD 8GB VRAM GPU (so vulkan) and found that:<p>llama.cpp is about 10% faster than LM studio with the same options.<p>LM studio is 3x faster than ollama with the same options (~13t/s vs ~38t/s), but messes up tool calls.<p>Ollama ended up slowest on the 9B, Queen3.5 35B and some random other 8B model.<p>Note that this isn't some rigorous study or performance benchmarking. I just found ollama unnaceptably slow and wanted to try out the other options.</p>

<p>There are a lot of comments here saying something to the effect of "spaceflight is inherently unsafe" or "you can't always guarantee safety." I find this rather concerning.<p>Surely there is a difference between "our engineers did the best they could and the mission has a X% chance of failure" and "management overrode the engineers so they can get a launch in before the program is shuttered."</p>

<p>Have you bothered to ask the gambler if they want to risk it?<p>No offense to the astronauts of course, but asking people that have dreamed of this opportunity their whole life doesn't actually tell you all that much about the actual safety of the mission as a whole.</p>
