I guess it depends on how the replenishment process works. Unless you're ordering over 1000 of an item, I doubt it would be a problem.

At what, 10 tokens per hour? These disk swapping methods all have the same drawbacks - kill your drive early, and slow as hell.

At this point I don't even bother with it. Constantly falls back to Opus anyway, so I may as well save myself some time.

I last used Jellyfin about 2 years ago, and the chromecast functionality on Android needed some work. Has the Android client been improved?

This looks like a less trustworthy version of Apache Guacamole.

Because Polymarket is full of corrupt folks with insider information. Trump Jr. Is a senior advisor to Polymarket. Iran admitted they would observe Polymarket bets during the height of the war to see when they were next likely to get bombed.

New comment by jbird99 in "Ask HN: Will programmers write more efficient code during the memory shortage?"

jbird99 — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 05:39:25 +0000

I'd hope so. Not just because of the memory shortage, but because of the speed at which AI can help write code. Most high-level languages came about in order to speed up development, at the cost of performance and resource consumption. It's time to revisit some of these applications and see if we can use less resources to accomplish the same task. My work laptop with Teams and 2 Edge tabs open uses roughly 11GB of memory, which is insane.
