Why they didn't use LLM to create html table instead of https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/elementpath/media/?media_id=1048...?

I once asked Claude to replace “byte-identical” with a simpler word, such as “duplicate.” He refused and said “duplicate” does not mean the same thing as “byte-identical” so it should not be changed. He was very nerdy about it, so maybe that is the right way of his evolution.

It is interesting that FFmpeg has its own Git server. Maybe we should move there too?

At last, someone has finished his vibe-coded SaaS.

Sadly, the ORM layer lags here: Drizzle has no way to declare STRICT tables. The request has been open since March 2023 (issue #202, now discussion #2435) and didn't make the v1.0 beta either. The only workaround is hand-appending STRICT to generated migration SQL, which doesn't work at all if you use `drizzle-kit push`.

New comment by souvlakee in "Windows 11 after two decades of macOS: okay, but also awful"

souvlakee — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 22:56:20 +0000

> Windows 11 could've been a fantastic OS. Instead of pushing AI crap and adding Copilot to Notepad (I kid you not), Microsoft could focus on fixing multi-year bugs and cleaning up the UI mess.

Imagine if they started on Windows 7, pinned the design, and continued fixing only old bugs. What a nice OS it could be!

New comment by souvlakee in "Kotlin creator's new language: talk to LLMs in specs, not English"

souvlakee — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:45:47 +0000

As far as I can tell C is not a new language, but rather an alternative workflow for assembly development along with a tool that implements it.

No joke. I'm 100% sure that if it's successful, we will find CC's skill to write specs for CodeSpeak.

New comment by souvlakee in "Harness engineering: leveraging Codex in an agent-first world"

souvlakee — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 08:37:07 +0000

For me personally, the question now is: when will I need to implement all the design solutions the OpenAI team has done, but for my personal pet project, which is on a completely different scale? I have FOMO. E.g, do I need that massive observability stack that any DevOps would be proud of, or are console logs okay? :/

Adding an API can significantly increase the number of users, as it will make it easier for agents to share content.

I built cloud transcoding 50x cheaper than AWS/Coconut/others – anyone need it?

souvlakee — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 07:07:28 +0000

I've been building a video transcoding API as a side project and achieved some results that surprised me. Before I spend more time on this, I'd love your honest input.

What I built and here's what it can do:

- 4K → 1080p (H.264): $0.0005 per minute

- 4K → 1080p (H.265): $0.0015 per minute

- 4K → 1080p (AV1): $0.0035 per minute

- HLS adaptive streaming (4 quality levels): $0.0015 per minute

---

For comparison, AWS MediaConvert charges $0.015-0.19/min for similar work. Coconut (claims "most cheapest") and Mux charge $0.015/min.

That's 10-50x cheaper depending on the codec.

My questions:

1. Is there still demand for this in 2026? Big players like Mux, Cloudinary, AWS exist. Do smaller developers/startups actually feel the pain of video processing costs?

2. B2B or B2C? I'm pretty sure consumers just use free tools. But are there indie developers, small SaaS, or agencies who would pay for a cheap API?

3. Would price alone make you switch? If you're already using Mux/Cloudinary/AWS, would 10-50x savings be enough to try something new from an unknown indie developer?

4. What would make you trust a new service? Open-source? Transparent pricing? Case studies? I have no brand, no reputation.

5. Should I even continue? If the market is too commoditized or nobody cares about cost, I'd rather know now.

I'm not here to sell anything. No landing page, no waitlist. Just trying to validate if this solves a real problem before I invest more time.
