Well when artists are pretending to sell art for $69 million to their business partners to create hype for NFTs and lure in clueless people who will lose their money on a pump and dump virtual asset then people start to feel like it’s a scam not just “excessive spending”

I mean this artist is now the third highest paid artist alive and it seems like he just pretended to sell the art to his business partner and the money transfer may not have even happened. That’s not excessive spending if true, that’s lies and fraud
They were violent conquerors, like essentially every other civilization in history. They just happened to be better at it.

The religious tolerance of the Mongols in comparison to their contemporaries is well-established.

> As Genghis Khan united the Mongol tribes and waged war on most of Asia he became known as one of the most ruthless and brutal warlords of all time. However, one hallmark during his military conquest was his tolerance of all religions. He embraced diversity and decreed religious freedom for everyone.[17] Genghis Khan’s tolerance proved to be beneficial for him. Genghis continued to use religious persecution to his benefit. He would use suppressed people as spies in cities such as Baghdad and then take the land, assimilating all those willing.[18] In Amy Chua's book Day of Empire, she claims that “... the Mongols were more religiously open than any other power in the world.”

We should also be very aware that most of the writing we have on the Mongols comes from their enemies. It is almost certainly biased and likely over-exaggerates certain things.
If you Google you will find that a lot of NFT art has already gone missing
I was looking for a different example from @patio11, but this one will have to do: https://twitter.com/patio11/status/701765026286206976
There would not be nothing to put on those servers is not for the volunteers.
Both are valid points. And no, there's currently no programmatic access to machines - but that's high on the roadmap.

Regarding environments, it's funny, when I was starting out I would kill for a pre-configured instance because I wanted to focus on modeling and didn't care if package X was version x.x.y or x.x.z. But as you grow as an ML engineer and develop your own toolkit these things start to matter.

So when creating a machine on gpu.land you have the choice of going pre-configured or just having a clean Ubuntu image. The former is meant for newcommers while the latter for pros. That was my thingking!
In most of Australia, land which was previously zoned as "rural living" has secretly been rezoned as "Farming" which means you cannot build a house if it is less than 100 acres. And you sure as hell cannot build without the design being approved. And then unless you can get a "Certificate of Occupancy" you can't live there.
> And yet, how better to approach his Paradise Lost (1667), which takes Satan (barely mentioned in the Bible)
This doesn’t solve the problem at all. Many of the NFT sites are hosting their own IPFS and many of the images have already gone missing from the IPFS because no one is hosting that file still.

Woah, that's not good. Will look into asap (today). Thanks for the feedback!
Show HN: Public SSH Jump and Port Forwarding Server
I've made a neat service to access SSH over NAT. Unlike ngrok and alternatives with registration, custom software, non-preserved random URLs and ports, this solution is just a remote SSH server which does not require anything more than an SSH client to both host and connect.

Technically it allows to publish any service over SSH (web, proxy, any TCP port really), but only with SSH as a destination you'll preserve end-to-end encryption and won't allow my server to snoop on potentially unencrypted traffic.

The service is mostly intended to give remote access to the device as fast as possible, given it already has SSH client and server.

To begin, just execute:

ssh ssh-j.com

Would be grateful for any feedback.

-----

Looking for ways to expose SSH behind NAT? Search no further!

Publish SSH server port of your laptop, which is behind NAT:

ssh any-username@ssh-j.com -N -R laptop-behind-nat:22:localhost:22
╭─╯ unique ╰─╮ │ device name ╭───╯ │destination│
│ namespace │ │ and port │ │address and│
│for your hosts│ ╰──────────────╯ │ port │
╰──────────────╯ ╰───────────╯

Connect to the published SSH:

ssh -J any-username@ssh-j.com laptop-behind-nat
↖
It's THAT easy!

Published hosts are bound to the username. Other usernames can't access them.
Pick a unique username (not root ) and get access to your devices anywhere!
I couldn't figure it out. There's only so much programming juice I have per day/week/month/year/lifetime, and when I was spending all day writing crappy low-quality software which would never last more than a year or two, very little was left for my personal work. So I stopped...

Little by little, one at a time, I reduced my upkeep expenses, until I could reduce my paid work, first to part-time, then to nothing!

These days, I live completely off my personal work. Doing it the fregan way, I accept no direct financial contribution, and instead accept housing, Internet access, web hosting, etc. from supporters.

I can't say it was a comfortable transition, but I've made other transitions in my life before, and those were not easy either. I had some guidance, which I didn't always follow well, and I was still able to do it.

I would recommend this route to anyone with a clear goal in mind and predisposed to spiritual, meditative, minimal, ascetic, and slow lifestyle.
temperature is not a concern, Life can exists in a relative large range of temperatures. The problem is the speed of temperature rise, that is incompatible with the speed some species can migrate from now-hostile areas. Dinosaurs didn't died because the asteroid hit their
head, but because of the abrupt climate change triggered by it. The key word is "abrupt" not "change".
Speaking to the possibility of other/multiple/connected upstream causes, there is this remark I once heard: "Meditation is what you do while you are losing touch with your friends and interests."

To me that can be appropriately unclear about what causes what.
I remember that the home computers of the 80s (Commodore, Sinclair, etc) were sending their display signal to channel 36 in Europe. That was an unallocated frequency.

I quote the "ZX81 BASIC Programming" manual from Sinclair, page 8:

> The ZX81 operates on channel 36 UTF

I wonder if they had a different version of the display adapter for the USA or it didn't matter. After all we disconnected the antenna cable and connected the computer to that input. We could use any channel, not necessarily an empty one.
I love this.

I wonder if buttercream or whipped can be extruded through a needle without deflating. Could be pretty tasty.

With a bit of refinement this could probably be productized. Branded jello shots would be great for bars and events.
It's a consumer product. It is very draining. In today's world consumer don't want to pay for anything, unless they really want the product and they don't have a way to get it otherwise.

Many users would use the product and then file chargebacks. Many users will go to any extend to get out of paying coming up with either sad stories, lies or threats. When it's a low cost, high volume product (5m+ paying customers over time) - you deal with too many of these and sometimes it's very demoralizing.

I used to work for someone else in Saas and this wasn't such a big issue there. Next thing I do won't be in consumer.

Some ideas where tried end to end in a week, some were run for 2 years. Did a lot of mistakes along the way.
How to avoid a climate disaster - Bill Gates. I found it extremely comprehensible and well structured, other than I learned a lot. It's the beginning of a new rabbit hole.

That will never work - Marc Randolph. I'm also a big fan of his new podcast, same title.

What should I ask David Deutsch?
What if a comedian loses his audience because views of his come to light that his audience doesn't support? It's no longer profitable for him to go on tour, or for studios to offer him roles on tv, etc.. Is that cancel culture or not? I'd argue that it's cancelling, but not the "bad" kind.

If you say it's not cancel culture when a majority of people change their mind about someone, then you're saying that almost by definition cancelling is when a small minority of people have the power to deplatform someone who missteps. So, it's not accurate to say that "the left is ok with cancel culture" (for instance) since only a small group of people are going it who are not representative of the larger population.
Most companies are average to above average pay. FAANG's are an aberration, not the norm.

Not externally (in the same way that vast.ai does it), but you could always boot the instance -> ssh in -> manually run nvidia-docker.

Some people live in the future and already send their kids to private schools or do homeschool. They are horrified by the public school system.
No, they only started doing that after Google penalised them for underhand tactics.

There's a full description of how it worked on their Wikipedia article.

You should probably check before dishing out patronising and incorrect answers.
Process question: What specifically would you do to get early customers or to market the mvp? How did this change over the 25 attempts?

What was your criteria for "this one has failed let's do another one"?
So impressive. Its like an implausible macgyver scenario in an action film.
Seems from the post that there were backups but they had never actually tested restoring from them.
>5. Do their thing very quietly without anyone really knowing.

6. You've never heard about.

I love going to industrial estates and checking out what is going on in there for this exact reason. CNC machine, 3D printing, endless engineering all of which will never be appreciated or create a fan boy cult but they will keep many, many other businesses operational and growing.

These places actually build things too, real tangible things that have requirements and so forth.
How do you handle support with just 3 people? I imagine at that scale you either have a lot of customers, or small number of customers with very specific needs.
Why does the discovery of plants show that ice melted more recently?
No, I didn't get that impression at all.
This is a spot on take! Well said.
I am also an owner of these devices. I am not knowledgeable if this is as trivial for AMD CPUs in general, but I know that specifically for the SoC in the APU, since i build my own image anyway, it's a simple configuration flag there:

I also read that Beeple has shares of the company which bought his art. And artistic works are valued based on their affect to culture. Beeple has none other than this elaborate NTF marketing scheme.

Why isn't tire chains solution for rarely snowed area?
Somehow, I don't see the mention of the Vega visualization grammar [1] as a potential charting library. I think it is incredibly well-done, and is generally intuitive in its API. I've mostly used it through the Python bindings called Altair [2]. The good part is that that general grammar carries over to the browser as a full JSON spec that can be used directly in any language that supports JSON and has a Vega binding (which is pretty much all popular languages).

Having said that, I had to unfortunately abandon it because the ad-hoc control with Matplotlib [3] in Python is just infectious. Visual manipulations are far less easy to do in Vega. Being in JSON is also a restrictive though, because it is less interpretable by unstructured bots, where charts.css probably excels by design.

> Your wording flipped a bit in my head. That exact wording could be said of Europe. There's a whole show and dance to make it seem like it's not, but when everything is about government grants and consortiums, it is.

Sounds very much like Australia, too.
I don't know employee strength of many companies. Some companies which feel relatively small that I like are:
1Password (agilebits), Protonmail, Little Snitch (Objective Development).

PS: I am getting throttled by HN algorithms. If someone can help get me unthrottled I will get around to answering all the questions.
I sincerely do not understand what you are talking about. I, and I assume also you, have just read about an education system where boys aged 7 are separated from their parents, underfed, whipped, beaten and basically forced into sexual relationship with older men. How do any of these horrors compare in the slightest to what is happening in any 21st century western public school?

I know that my experience was most likely more idyllic than most, but which outgrowths of modern public education (active shooter drills, windowless rooms, zero-tolerance policies?) make you hold it in such low regard?
It's not great, for sure. However I witness worse driving every day by humans on my commute to and from work.
Also, moral licensing is a thing. “We already did our part” thinking. But they invented a new problem nobody has instead of solving an existing one...

The AZ vaccine needs to be able to enter your cells to work. That limits it to viruses that started off being able to infect you; we're not vulnerable to very many fish viruses. There's also the problem that we eat fish, and thus get exposed to fish viruses: one of the problems with using carrier viruses is you can already have immunity to them. If you do, the vaccine can be destroyed prior to it entering your cells, prior to it being able to induce those cells to create the spike protein that leads to COVID-19 immunity.

Are you in a large market with competitors but still plenty of room, or have you more or less cornered a smaller one?
I share that sentiment but also want to point out that HAProxy has gained a lot of support for "modern use cases" over the years, for instance the "Data Plane API" that lets you configure HAProxy dynamically.
We had a project for utility computer with sun. We would rent a data center and they’d turn machines on for us on request.
That makes sense, sounds like a good approach, and thanks for the thoughtful response!
i wonder if beeple just returned 68 million with a pre arranged scheme
I'm replying exactly to your assertion "Do your homework before repeating random exaggerated claims you've heard on the internet". I did, I didn't get my qualifications searching on Wikipedia, did you? "This melting cycle was happening before the industrial revolution and was not created by humans.": the cycle existed before humans, I agree, but the velocity of temperature change has increased after humans started to burn fossil fuels and deforestate.We are increasing the rate of change.
I've always been uncomfortable with the idea of advertising to children directly in an app.
You can disable configuration classes and then set things up manually. I did this recently with the mongo driver.
Study: One in five Covid-19 cases do not get immunity
What pay are you looking for? Specifically. What numbers are you looking for that are out of reach at non-FAANG?
I don't buy anything new if I can absolutely help it. No more new clothes, pants, shirts, socks, hats, jackets. No more new charging cables. No more new phones, computers, suitcases, carts, notebooks, pens, pencils, jewelry. No more new food if I can get adequate sustenance from fregan fridges, food banks, dumpsters. No more new plates, cups, silverware.

Now that I have seen with my mind's eye how much mind-bogglingly nauseating, horrible activity goes into each of these minute objects, I just don't have the stomach for it anymore.

If you are not afraid of a life-changing realization, I invite you to choose one of these objects which you purchased new and trace its journey before it became yours.

For example, a phone case plus its immediately discarded labeling. It's typically made of some kinds of multiple-component plastic. So, oil is mined, with all the dirt which comes with that. (By dirt I mean hazardous byproducts dumped into the atmosphere and water, biosphere shaved down to make space for all this, water used for running the factory, and all the exponential supporting dirt for the people who are working at the factories, like driving to work, coffee machines at the office, etc.) Then it is transported (diesel) to the refinery, where it is refined, with all the dirt which is involved. Then the components are transported (diesel) to the plastics factory, where it is made into plastic (dirt). Then it is transported (diesel) to the phone case factory, where it is made into phone case (dirt.) The packaging takes a similar, but separate route (lots of diesel and dirt). Then it is combined together and packaged up and transported (more diesel), first to the reseller, then to the seller, then to you, 3 different diesel routes. All along the way, people are performing menial labor for shit pay in hazardous conditions. Finally, it arrives at your doorstep, you tear the packaging off and toss it away, for it to be diesel-transported to the landfille. You probably use the phone case for a year tops and then discard it (diesel, landfill).
Hi, no worries, we all communicate with text here... misunderstandings happen regularly with a fraction users you interact with.

Congratulations on your success!

Here are some questions:

Q1. What was the prerequisite for your success (product/service, team, market)?

Q2 What technology space are you in? (Digital/brand vs high-tech)?

Q3 What weré your difficultis when iterating over your product concepts, and what was the iteration frequency?

Q4 How long did it take to take off?

Would love to chat at some point, or connect. My email is the profile.
Frankly, since we only have ourselves to sample, we have no idea how large the survivorship bias is. It doesn't matter if there's googol of galaxies or just one galaxy, we have zero direct information on how easily life arises. Putting it another way, observing a googol of galaxies ought to pretty much not at all increase our confidence that other life exists, like how observing a 200% increase in a speed doesn't tell you anything when you don't know what the absolute speed was to start with.
the worst part about arguing the worth of things like this is one side has a strong financial/emotional motive to be hostile and disingenuous. so it’s best not to engage what’s clearly a scam. it’s like trying to tell someone who is in an MLM that it’s a pyramid scheme
I had the same problem and switched from trying to learn in the evening to doing it in the morning before work. It is the time I have the most energy and a half hour/hour a day adds up!
Audacity almost certainly isn't doing this, but you can use SQLite to treat an archive as a database:

$ echo "select name, sz from zip" | sqlite3 -table mb.zip
+---------+--------+
| name | sz |
+---------+--------+
| MB.EXE | 125952 |
| MB.DOC | 1225 |
| MB2.DOC | 9158 |
+---------+--------+

...and to treat a database as an archive:

$ sqlite3 new_archive.db -A --create log.txt
$ sqlite3 new_archive.db -A --list
log.txt
I tested on one of my sites [1] and thought to share as a test case for improvements. The theme is LandKit [2].

TBH nothing rings a bell in terms of application, but still pretty cool.

Careful with what "spartan" means. There were a lot of spartans, and the bulk of them were helots (slaves), a good bunch were perioikoi (kind of free, but not citizens) and less than 5% spartiate (full citizens). Only spartiate women enjoyed more rights than other greek women.

And Sparta has a higher share of helots than any other polis. If you are a woman in Sparta, almost sure that you are a helot (as many rights as a cow). Remember also that Spartiates regularly went to war against the helots, and Plutarch even remarked how cruel and harsh they were with the slaves.

So Sparta was arguably at least as bad as any other polis to be a woman unless you win the birth lottery as a spartiate.

How much information is in the story of Little Red Riding Hood? You could measure the bits encoded in the text but is that really measuring the amount of information communicated? I'm sure that story has additional meaning (and less surprise) to folk in Europe who recognize the symbolism and analogues in the story to relationships to other parts of culture.

Does this story have more or less information in it than Goldilocks and the Three Bears? You could measure the amount of information encoded in the telling of the story to find out but that would give you a very unsatisfactory answer.
Unless the vendor in question actively takes steps to make this more difficult.
I built exactly this for Buffer maybe 8 years ago now, and amazingly a version of it still stands today:
https://buffer.com/love

Definitely a nice page to have on your site, I guess the fact that it's lasted this long (well after I left the company) means it must still be showing value. Quite simple on the backend, it just pulls in tweets that the official Buffer account as fav'd on an hourly basis.
Netflix understands this as they have become content creators.

A mistake I often make when explaining things is to leave out a lot of the "obvious" stuff, for fear of talking down to the person. I've learned that it's often the obvious things that most need to be said.
I think i agree with your general sentiment, but specifically LSTMs were first proposed in a 1997 paper[1], thus my guess is that they didn't have vast resources compared to today. I mean, i trained my model on a GPU for a few days, which im guessing is actually more resources than they had.

>Few architectures are designed or evaluated based on smaller (fixed) corpora sizes and smaller (fixed) training budgets. Even few-shot learning tasks typically still require a huge amount of pre-training on large datasets. So researchers and practitioners constrained by fewer resources and smaller datasets (which may not apply to you specifically) trying to adapt popular architectures to their needs are disadvantaged. Compare the attention being given to energy budgets and similar constraints for inference as opposed to training and the disparity becomes fairly obvious.

that is an interesting point, and i feel like it generalizes to the fact that using more efficient architecture that was perhaps was designed by someone with a lesser training budget. Although I must say that from my limited DL paper reading, efficient small-scale novel architecture doesn't necessarily comes from cash-strapped researchers, as a more efficient(energy and time) would be of huge economic value also to companies like OpenAI, who have spent huge amounts on training GPTs.
