Yes, going via the store fixes some of those problems but introduces others. In particular a lot of corporate users have it disabled and of course they have a lot of arbitrary policies. I didn't know they had dev support if you're in the store, interesting thanks.

I made an MVP for an idea I had, looking for feedback! Do you think there's potential?
It seems to me like you hang around with a lot of people with similar opportunities and skills than you. Some of my friends work at Starbucks. Some of my family is retired after 50 years in a factory making $40k/yr while raising 3 kids. They aren't just about to have a big break that puts us on even footing.
This is great— do you have a writeup anywhere?

Bare minimum? An accounting of how money is spent and who is interacted with. Homeless people aren't faceless people, most have SSNs, names and histories.

In that case, I guess I’m not being idealistic, just reasonable.
It's because you can send it to someone else and virtually guarantee that it runs on their MacOS or Linux machine. Extend that to servers and containers.

Things like python, perl, etc are all "nicer" programming languages, but have a lot more issues with distribution. Bash (and related shells) is just a bunch of syntax around setting up environment variables and running commands, which are just executables.
At least in terms of self-reported perplexity all the fine-tuned models seem significantly stupider than the raw llama checkpoints. Better for business but not nearly as fun or useful for human persons wanting to talk to something that can seem to reason and respond like a human does. And since the llamas are not for profit you can draw your own conclusions.

In terms of getting work done 30B and under llamas aren't going to be very helpful. Maybe 65B behaves differently but the 30B and under are just amazing toys; not tools. And, again, if you fine-tune them they get significantly stupider. Think of fine tuning as a lobotomy. The model is more likely to stay on the rails but it loses emergent capabilities.

Ask HN: Best courses to learn React Native for a back end dev
Hi there, I am working on an app for a side project and I am building out the backend and doing some design with someone doing the frontend but I'm interested in jumping in and writing some of the front-end as well.

I am going to take a course on Udemy most likely, but I already know a lot about back-end Python, Golang, and AWS and Infra so don't need a total beginner course.

Does anyone have a good up to date course they can recommend that uses Expo? I know this technology changes pretty rapidly in the front-end so if anyone has any good recent experience I would appreciate a suggestion or two :)
Then that's your own prerogative.
It's a bit more complex than that. Windows licenses come in various variants with one common trait: they have very specific conditions regarding license transfer. Basically, Microsoft tries to define a very limited set of conditions that let you transfer the license. The problem is, not all of these are enforceable in all jurisdictions. One example:

> If you acquired the software from a retailer as stand-alone software, you may transfer the software to another device that belongs to you, but not more than one time every 90 days (except due to hardware failure, in which case you may transfer sooner).

It is highly probable that, if anybody cared, you could win such a case in a European court but I'm not aware if anyone bothered to try.

A patent is not meaningful as protection unless you also have the wherewithal to go through the legal process. Your idea of what is not only patentable, but also defendable in a court against a better funded opposition may not be realistic.

(But a patent application could help you as a form marketing.)
To add, it's worth noting that "snake oil salesman" was a very real thing in the 19th century[1]. It is pretty hyberbolic to assert that there's more figurative snake oil salesmen when there were once literal ones.

Fingerprinting.
Interesting, so that's also whats happening with 127.1 and 127.0.1: the zeroes are not being "inserted automatically", they come from expanding the last number (1) into the bits for the last bytes of the address.

To make it clearer:

- for "x", then "x" is all 4 bytes of the address

- for "x.y", then "x" is the first byte of the address and "y" the last 3 bytes

- for "x.y.z", then "x" is the first byte, "y" is the second" and "z" is the last 2

- for "x.y.z.w", then each of the numbers is its own byte
Cloudflare's verification and blocking means that I regularly have to use a VPN to access sites because having an HK ip address is reason enough to get those verifications or be outright blocked.

In the same way that Google breaks email by blocking any small servers, Cloudflare breaks internet by blocking people randomly, not supporting firefox on linux, etc...

It is not ridiculous. It is also the will of a democratic people. Maybe you aren't compatible with the American system as you seem to want some sort of classist system (let in more of the 'GOOD' people where you define who is 'GOOD'). We had that system before this one, and 'GOOD' was defined as western European. We decided we didn't like that system and decided that everyone should have a chance.

Farming started in Fertile Crescent thousands of years ago. If you visit the region today it’s all but fertile. Sand, sand and more sand.

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-jun-15-op-diamo....

> When you clear a forest in a high-rainfall tropical area, new trees grow up to a height of 15 feet within a year; in a dry area like the Fertile Crescent, regeneration is much slower. And when you add to the equation grazing by sheep and goats, new trees stand little chance. Deforestation led to soil erosion, and irrigation agriculture led to salinization, both by releasing salt buried deep in the ground and by adding salt through irrigation water. After centuries of degradation, areas of Iraq that formerly supported productive irrigation agriculture are today salt pans where nothing grows.
I did this same sort of thing. My impetus was that I have tons of shows and movies to watch but I 1) don't necessarily want to binge every episode back to back and 2) my wide selection leads to choice paralysis. I mostly want some background noise rather than something I'm super engaged in.

I wrote a script to catalog all my shows/movies then another that reads a schedule and generates a daily playlist. My schedule has daily episodes of some shows and then weekly showings of others. I even put some network block bumpers between some shows and "upcoming schedule" clips.

The output of the scheduling script is just an m3u playlist. A cron job loads the day's playlist at midnight and it plays continuously during the day. There's no controls to pause or anything, if I miss something I miss it (by design). All the video content is stored on a 5TB drive plugged into the machine.

To complete the old school analog nature of the project I picked up a low power Hlly VHF video transmitter. I've got a small CRT TV in my office that I use during the day and I can pick up the signal on the TV in the living room. The project started on an RPi with VLC but it struggled on some videos I'd ripped from Bluray so I replaced it with a little fanless AMD box with an HDMI-RCA adapter. It sits in the garage and I can pick up the signal anywhere in the house.

The best part is apart from the setup it's proven to be pretty reliable. My next step is to make a schedule output like what you linked and maybe a web based UI to let me "change channels". For right now it does what I want with no real fuss and I always have something on that I like.

Petro is an attempt at embrace-extend-extinguish. If that "Reception" section is to be believed, nobody is using it willingly. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Look under "NiceHash-able", if the number is less than 100% it means (to an approximation) not enough idle hardware exists on the planet to perform an attack. This means any attack must start with a manufacturing project that must stay secret for a decade+, then outpace growth and eventually surpass the capacity of the private sector. And then you need the energy to actually run the chips - no country would ever consider diverting that much energy away from their population.

I've been slowly working on a web app that keeps track of cocktail recipes and all the liquor bottles in my home bar, then it tells me what drinks I can make right now. It's been a fun way to spend way too much money at the liquor store buying "just one more bottle", and I've found some new favorite drinks via these recipes.

It doesn't do anything amazing yet, but it's been fun to tinker with it over time and get back to coding as I do more and more management at work.

I'm sure plenty of Venezuelans are running bots. It seems that manual gold farming is done because it's less likely to result in bans. If they're patient enough to make it to end game content before selling the gold they might actually make way more than the bots would just due to the crazy exponential scaling of profit rates.
This feels like a “well they should have already been experts” answer, which isn’t really an answer.

If a Salesforce project started with zero permissions and made you add them in, and didn’t have any big blanket “*” permissions, I’d eyeball the implementers a wee bit more.

I wonder about affordability, but I am very pro-farmbot. Far more than self-driving cars. If anything, farmbots could provide a lot of very helpful groundwork in a lower-stakes environment which the self-driving cars people could use. My only real concern is if farmbots could be cheap enough to absorb a large portion of the -cide market.

Most herbicides, for example, could be replaced by something which plucks. Insecticide money could, partially, go into bots that could pick-and-crush unwanted insects aboveground. We would still have grubs. Fungicide expenditure could be slashed: detect infection on a plant, spray it and its neighbors, maybe a few more downwind. Your bot, named He Who Walks Behind the Rows, trundles along slowly, observing each plant.

Per acre, it would have to travel roughly three and a third miles. At a half-mile-per-hour pace, thirteen hours a day, you could swing two acres a day per bot. Let's say your bot eats your production cost in half, about four hundred dollars per acre. If a bot lasts only a season, well, it has to cost under a grand to be worth it, and I haven't even touched power costs yet. So it will need to survive multiple growing seasons. I can see Overlord stations every few acres, maybe grabbing some solar power or charging up off a grid, storing it so that it can be dispersed to the bots at night. They could serve as data collection points, centimeter-level GPS correction servers, and so on, as well.

I could see the temptation to work irrigation into the bot somehow but water is heavy and I imagine something entirely separate to provide water.

I'm making a lot of assumptions, like "each plant ought to be looked at each day" and the standard thirty-inch rows, etc.
It probably depends on how long you've had your email address. I've had mine for 20+ years would be borderline unusable without spam filtering.

It's been much better since I took the time to set things up so marking and email spam automatically fed it into sa-learn. I still have to have a handful of rules to filter out senders who are "legit" enough to make it through, but ignore unsubscribe requests.

Yeah I think even earlier 6.3 volts was also the voltage used for the heating element on vacuum tubes. I think because very early radio's used 6V batteries for the coils. And a separate high voltage battery for the plates.

TLDR; patent hardware, not software.

I am fortunate to have been involved in the evolution of many founding software principles still heavily used to this day. As the creator and systems architect of several acquired SaaS platforms I have sat in more than one meeting discussing patenting my creations with executive management that saw nothing but fiat raining from the sky should such a patent be acquired for said software. Very early in my career I learned to avoid the software patent discussions as they did nothing but consume my time for something I recognized as frivolous in protecting.

As a generalist however with vast applied experience in electrical, mechanical, and technological hardware and software I do see value in patents which protect non software solutions, a physical tangible thing that accomplishes an objective in a unique derived way. With that stated, if one has a physical device which can be patented and therefore "protected" (to some degree) then patenting the physical thing as "unique" ensures one some legal protections as a timeline to execution, business evolution, and potential revenue. With this "unique physical device" patented it is of course controlled and managed by custom software. Protection by proxy for the custom software although not legally enforceable but since the device is "unique" this software has no other purpose. Modular design however through the entire hardware and software process ensures reusability at every turn; work smarter, not harder.

A lifetime of scars and lessons from these words so I hope this can help at least one person even if it's only a glancing blow answer to the OP question. My 2¢ from personal experiences which likely greatly differ from others so YMWV. Stay Healthy!
>base resource inflation (runes/logs/etc) because the trend recently has been adding these drops to boss tables.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn't that lead to price deflation? I definitely remember skillers complaining about the price deflation effect that the huge quantities of boss drops had on the price of logs and herbs.

And runes were/are the outlier, because everyone hates runecrafting and Jagex kept pumping demand with FSOA and arch ancients (smoke cloud?) making other combat styles obsolete, or at least making magic a mandatory switch for top level PVM?

Both its references are blank. Surely there could be some deterministic check on things like this to let it know it's hallucinating?

First it spews fake information, hallucinates different citations for the same fake data, then gets touchy about it. I later asked it to paste HTML snippets from this nonexistent page, and it made some up. When asked to paste the whole HTML, it namaste'd me again.

The reason you haven't heard it is because nobody wants to say it out loud and get the resulting blowback: it's because college attendance is a proxy for IQ, which is far and away the strongest correlating factor with job performance. Since the Supreme Court ruled that employers can't use IQ tests in hiring decisions, they use the presence of a college degree instead.
I don't have a good answer for how I feel about killing and animals that were raised to have a good life. I get away with not having an answer to this question and defaulting to vegetarianism in two ways:

1) If I avoid all meat I cannot be held ethically accountable for it's provenance when, for example, a company's marketing department lies to you or the FDA does not sufficiently protect certain terms of art like "free range" which imply a lack of cruelty that wouldn't pass muster if I saw the treatment with my own eyes

2) If I am vegetarian, I will support vegetarian options, and I create support for companies and businesses that are unambiguously dedicated to reducing cruelty/suffering
