I discovered this app about a week ago. And I would not say useful. It’s crappy. I just wanted to discover new movies, make a list of what I want to watch and keep a record of what I’ve watched.

1. The watchlist is hidden in the user profile icon on the bottom left. It actually took me a while to find it.

2. When I first setup the app I was asked to rate movies or mark as already watched. Where is this list? It’s not the diary which is what I would expect. A diary of what I’ve watched and the ratings I’ve given, but my diary is empty.

3. I had to create an account to use this app.

4. Still has ads. Need to pay $20 a year to remove ads!

5. Don’t understand the difference between reviews, lists and journal tab.

6. Watching a trailer requires me to leave the app to go to YouTube.

7. On the Home Screen I cannot remove movies I don’t care to see. For example I don’t care to see horror or gory posters.

8. To add a movie to the watchlist I have to tap the 3 dot menu button then tap watchlist. Plenty of wasted space on the movie screen.

9. Star ratings don’t make sense. Everyone has different tastes. And what is the difference between 4 or 5 stars. Everyone quantifies each star differently. Thumbs up and down with collaborative filtering is a better approach. I would only care what people with similar tastes to me think about a movie.

10. The text box for the description of the movie is to short and cuts off. Why? So there is room for the ad. Really crappy.

11. They are sourcing their data for movies from https://www.themoviedb.org/ and charging $20-$50 a year to access this data without ads.

12. No iOS widget integration.
I'm going to call B.S. on this one. with SpaceX and Tesla, many employees are driven by a sense of purpose independent of the behavior of their shared/part-time CEO based on the fundamental mission of the company. In Twitter's case, I doubt the notion of whipping engineers to making more advertising revenue via blue check marks is going to rouse a sense of pride, purpose, or productivity. I guess we'll see!
> Basically, Copilot makes all open source software (according to the OSI definition) necessarily use-without-attribution.

No, Copilot is violating the existing open source licenses by not providing the attribution that they require. If Microsoft doesn't care about that, then they won't care about violating your license either.
Why not hire a US based sales professional with existing childcare experience and connections?
> What do they have to do with ebooks??

I haven't seen the court filings yet, but I guess that a unauthorized (by the publisher) physical reproduction of a book (that was domestically sent through USPS, otherwise it'll be under US CBP) that just so happens that the source for the PDF used for the physical reproduction is from Z-Library.
> The government department for land information does make almost all GIS data publicly available

That’s awesome! What country is this, if you don’t mind me asking? GIS datasets are really fun to play with.
I ran into this issue years ago (possibly even before labeled exit from loops or even NLL, although I'd have to dig through some old code to confirm this). I had some logic that I wanted to short-circuit, but moving everything to a separate method call would have required an extra borrow that would not have been allowed. I don't think that I'll end up needing to use this feature much, but I'm glad to finally have it as an option for the rare cases when it will improve the readability of my code.
People like to rag on dating apps -- they're shallow, promote surface-level judgements / interactions. But I think this is simply mirroring how things works in the real world (in very early considerations of who to approach). Getting this person out of the app into an in-person conversation should be the goal.

A 'date me' profile feels like the opposite -- trying to get a bunch of data on someone before actually interacting with them in person. I think this is completely backwards and we need to lean in far more into IRL experiences.
The problem of jointly-owned AI is that the actual value of a particular contribution to the training set is not particularly easy to calculate. We can't tie a particular model weight back to individual training set examples, nor can we take an output that's a statistical mix of two different peoples' work and trace it back to them.

With current technology, the only licensing model we can offer is "give us your training set example, we'll chuck a few pennies at you out of credit sales and nothing more". We can't even comply with CC-BY because the model can't determine who to attribute to.
More impetus to sharpen our tools and their use to evade control of information by our corrupt, out of control, corporate-owned faux democratic government overlords.

The lesson is: more tor, more IPFS, DHT, encryption, federated protocols, mesh networks, and P2P in general.

This contest of power is one of the very few the People have any hope of winning.
Suffering is a function of familiarity with the language and the intelligence of the user. Go is good enough such that if you had familiarity with both python and go, usage of either is justifiable in terms of expressiveness and ease of use.

Your lack of knowledge about this fact, however, is a symptom of intelligence.
If you break a book at the library, you usually have to pay for its replacement.

Sure there is some normal wear and tear that isnt "breaking the book", but if you browse through your library you will find lots of books that were purchased 20-40 years ago that are still in good shape. I don't really think normal wear and tear is very significant.
Tech is still overvalued by any standard metric. We're not deep enough in the valley yet.

when I go to libgen though, link number 2/3 always point to zlib though.. am I on the right libgen? are they connected?
I wouldn't call Amazon Prime same day. Amazon had prime now for awhile in response to Google's Express program; these were both same-day services that delivered in 2-4 hours from order placement. Both programs were cancelled when it became clear they were unsustainable.
Sorry, I should have said record it once per minute and then upload less frequently (since each packet can be 192 bytes).
How does replying work? Specifically, if you're sending email from MyCoolDomain.com and you don't have DKIM/SPF/etc., aren't you going to face potential deliverability issues? Or is Google sending the message as `nso@MyCoolDomain.com via nso@gmail.com` (and exposing your Gmail address in replies)?

I guess you could specify Google's servers for SPF purposes without any coordination on Google's part, but Google would need to sign the message for things like DKIM. Do they do that for domains that you aren't actually connecting?
I thought Twitter was a Hellscape before Elon bought it? That is why I left Twitter. Mastodon is much better.

I like letterboxd a lot as well. Its a bit like patreon for me where you can follow some person that you really like and read their stuff and its cool. You get a lot of nice in depth reviews from people, and varied tastes, and unlike other movie sites it doesn't feel like big blockbusters with big budgets float to the top.

I also like hackernews.

I think the magic is in very focused social media.
Did not care for Tutanota, mostly because I don't want to have yet another Electron app running. I just wanted to use Tutanota as an email host, with E2EE enabled where available/feasible. Instead, I couldn't use Thunderbird to access my email, which kind of killed it for me.

Ask HN: Ways to run container inside container for development purpose?
I want to use containers as my development environment, but sometimes I need to use Docker. I’ve heard that running Docker inside container is a pain to set up.

What are good ways to run container inside container for development purpose?
I think the leak of thousands of authentic emails from a direct family member of a presidential candidate is newsworthy, regardless of what is in the emails. People should get to decide for themselves whether "10% for the big guy" is incriminating or not.

If the story had gotten to run its normal course, my overall opinion would be that it actually makes Biden look pretty good (20k emails and this is the most incriminating line that they could find?)

But the moment that Twitter took unprecedented measures to prevent the story from even being discussed, it became something that bothered me a lot.

The way to gain credibility in an age of misinformation is to make the truth your north star. To have credibility, you have to be willing to call out misinformation on your own side, like the Steele Dossier. To say that it "raises credible concerns" is to excuse misinformation. You asked me to demonstrate that I am against corruption regardless of which side does it. Can you demonstrate that you are against misinformation regardless of which side does it?
Yeah, I really want to see a breakdown of the before and after species. I'm very interested in gut microbiome, but frustratingly what's available from the paper outside the paywall doesn't give any details on what the change was. Changes in gut microbiome composition can be very positive or very negative, or mildly positive or mildly negative... What was it in these cases?

The thing about the GI changes in the mice in interesting but I really want more details on the bacteria changes!
Struggling with what this would mean in practice -- do you mean like a screenshot / recording of the text / voice conversations you've had? I wonder if it might be tough to filter out things that are mostly just logistics, which personally tend to be a big percentage of my electronic-based interactions.
Must be a time bomb a senior developer put in the web code? If he doesn't reset it every day the error goes off.

I’ve had similar thoughts, not as a entrepreneur, but as a way to squander the lottery money on one epic party, that starts in Seattle and ends 32 hours later in LA.
"by doing things like using a screwdriver as a pry-bar. "

Oh, of course I have done this - with an old rusty screwdriver, but not with a tool of precision.

But since you are getting personal: well then maybe you are also one of those persons who have everything as looks shiny, but when doing things in the dirt of real life, you would put absent minded a chainsaw or powerdrill on the ground? Which is something I would never do, but have witnessed a few times from the look shiny folks (where the tools get probably polished later). I just treat objects adequately. Printed out paper is printed out paper. A rusty piece of metal, is a rusty piece of metal. And a high precision machine is a high precision machine, where different standards and care apply.

edit: in case of misunderstanding: I was not saying above, that I think it is OK, to treat borrowed things badly. Only that I think it is OK to treat my books as objects for rough use.
The only license that is permissive enough for AI training is CC0.

Art generators can't comply with attribution requirements and code generators don't know if and when they trip the GPL copyleft. I believe most permissive code licenses also have some kind of attribution requirement.
Usually a great strategy.
However, 2020-2021 were an artificially created equity bubble.

4. Type hints make python readable, but with as with most scripts people avoid type hints. This makes python actually less readable then go. Additionally python syntax allows for some very convoluted patterns. This is less the case for go. Go syntax forces explicit procedural steps while python you can throw 20 steps into a single 1 line list comprehension.

3. Go compiles so fast it's not that far off from an interpreted language.

2. It's not as big of a scripting language but it's close enough such that I can see justification for it's usage.

1. Yeah but go can be installed pretty quickly from package managers on every linux distro out there.
More like a boarding party from Musk firing at shadows.
As an employer I expect, at the very least, that employees act in the interest of the company - 100% - while they are employed and at work. (Provided that they are healthy and take care of their own fundamental needs first)

If they act in a way that is not in the company’s best interest repeatedly, then that is not a foundation for continuing the relationship.

Would you stay in a relationship where your partner keeps doing things that irk you repeatedly at a fundamental level, just out of goodwill for your partner? No, you would separate because it is your choice to make.

The employer-employee relationship is slightly different though in an important way: The employer has to set the direction and priorities for the company, not the employee.
Tinygrad: A simple and powerful neural network framework
Pros and Cons of Being a Repeat Founder
Dipping your book in sea water is not normal "heavy use". If you do that to your library book the library will probably make you purchase a new one.

Anyways the reason to treat library books reasonably nicely (not with gloves, but like a reasonable person) is not because books are sacred. Its because library books are not yours, they are something you are borrowing from someone else. Treating other people's possesions that you are borrowing with respect is just common courtsey.
> There is something about all of them that is definitely not human

My "gut" says that current AI is very similar to some part of the human (or other species) brain, but that the (organic) mind substrate is not just more of the same, there are other modules that perform fundamentally different functions in a complementary way.

For an analogy, people tried for centuries to make a flying machine, but didn't have the complementary power source or perhaps the theory of governing it in flight. Better wings weren't the whole story.

I think that, in general, and particularly among futurists and AI enthusiasts, mental illness is considered uninteresting, but I believe studying abnormal brain functioning can potentially allow teasing out the separate parts of a mind that are difficult to distinguish when operating in unison.

Some of what I read about existing AI makes me think of "loose associations" and hallucinations - that maybe human minds have something similar in them which is only apparent when it's a bit out of sync with the rest of the mechanism.

Human minds also always occupy a social context, and discussion of AI that I read tends not to acknowledge this. It raises thorny questions - never mind whether a computer can or can't interact socially, why would we ever want it to? If it's not a joke, like Microsoft Bob, isn't it terrifying, a la the Terminator? But if it can't, then substituting for humans should be off the table.
The Tweet doesn't say there's no ID requirement, it says there's no ID authentication. Title should be changed.

Also this is another rumor/leak.
Tell me your ways. I wouldn’t mind working in government. Bonus that I’m a veteran (states) but now I’m 40 and still new to software ( 3 years experience self taught )

Only issue would be remote work!
Agreed. I don't really see the current apps as flexing some sort of monopolistic power to give you shittier dates. Their solution to the classic problem of asymmetric supply/demand regarding hot/not hot people is for them to take a fee.
You're assuming that Microsoft needs to shut down Copilot to comply with the licenses of the software they misused. That is not the case. To make Copilot legitimate, all Microsoft has to do is restrict Copilot's inputs to non-proprietary code, release the Copilot dataset under a compatible license, and clarify that the code generated by Copilot is also covered under that license. Attribution can be done by inserting a comment with link to a paginated list of all of the contributors whose code was used in Copilot.

Microsoft can even continue to sell Copilot as a service while keeping it license-compliant, since most developers are not going to self-host the entire dataset. Microsoft can also choose to exclude copyleft-licensed code from Copilot or create multiple flavors of Copilot, each licensed differently. You can get your "productivity enhancement" without needing Microsoft to violate software licenses.

The damage is not in the monetary payment denied to free and open source software contributors, payment these contributors never demanded. The damage is in Microsoft violating other people's software licenses to create a proprietary product derived from copyleft-licensed and attribution-required code, and in Microsoft encouraging other developers to violate these licenses. Microsoft needs to rectify these violations with specific performance.

Some of Google's first ASICs were put into their in-house routers, more than a decade ago now. One wonders if they don't already have NICs with QUIC offload.

For me, one underrated aspect of a desktop PC is the ergonomics of setting up the space how you want it.

Want a gaming chair? Bean bag? Or to swap between the two? Sure, whatever. Want a big screen? 3 screens? Great speaker setup?

It isn't mobile, but "desktop computing" doesn't need to have greatest everything - it can be what you want for once.
As someone who used a custom-domain-Gmail as a primary account, it caused issues in various places. I think some of the issue is wanting to separate corporate accounts (which shouldn't be leaking and entangling information outside the company) from the rest of their ecosystem.

I have a Microsoft Account with my Gmail address. Can you no longer create a Microsoft Account with an outside email address? Or do they specifically prevent Microsoft 365 addresses from creating Microsoft Accounts?
this is the story of most newspapers, same shit happened to the entire industry the past 20 years

At the risk of being chastised, Android is Linux like chickens are dinosaurs. Technically true, but not very meaningful.
How did you get that from that comment?
> A quick look at the code implies that various data structures are used under the hood for what looks like one data structure in the language. That's a lot of complexity! I'm not sure that's a tradeoff I'd be happy to make. It makes it harder to reason about performance.

I don't think that's true. A persistent array map is a single data structure. It's just a persistent data structure optimized for non-destructive (functional) updates. On a high-level it's not too different from finger trees which may be more famous. When I used to write Clojure, I didn't feel any need to reason about its internals for performance reasons or any other reasons. It simply feels natural.
My brain no longer parses “safely” the same after all the “safe and effective” headlines over the past 2 years.
Happy Scribe | Multiple Engineering Roles | Barcelona, Spain | Hybrid or On Site (can sponsor VISA)

With a team of just 10 people and no investor funding, we’ve built a transcription and subtitling product used and loved by 3.5M people, we’ve built one of the biggest Speech To Text datasets and we’ve been profitable from month 1 (currently €4.7M ARR). We are 100% bootstrapped and funded by our happy customers, immune from the funding shortage and layoffs that are impacting other companies.

We've been leveraging our dataset to try and build the first Speech-To-Text algorithms that will surpass human accuracy. We’re searching for Backend Engineers or Machine Learning Engineers who can help us get there, and product-focused Full Stack Engineers who can help us scale the product that will leverage this tech.

In the next year we want to hire 10 engineers; if you don't see anything that fits now, get in touch anyway. We want to learn about your career goals so we can reach out in the future if anything matches.

This might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to solve one of the fundamental AI challenges of this decade.

We offer visa sponsorship and relocation packages.

Compensation info

We are open to considering people from 2+ to 20+ years, which means it's a very wide bracket. We'd start from €40,000, but it could go up to €120,000 for a very senior engineer. We also offer equity and different package options depending on whether you value more equity or salary. For context, a speech-to-text competitor was acquired by Microsoft for just under 3Billion. The transcription and subtitling market is booming and equity is worth a lot.

There were $13 billion in loans, and private investments from other folks like Larry Ellison and Suadi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal as well as some private equity firms.

So yes, there are shareholders, and there are creditors, it's just that in the private equity world, "caveat emptor" applies, they are expected to be sophisticated and wealthy enough to not need the protections given to investors in publicly traded companies.
