Every 6 months or so, I get the itch to do something like this. I really wouldn't mind my phone going back to just being a phone (with a decent texting interface). Most of my family and friends just use SMS/MMS. I don't need streaming music on my phone. 99% of the time, I am good enough with directions to not need phone maps. Not having a web-browser in my pocket would eliminate endless distractions.

The "killer-app" that always really stops me is the camera.

Good that is how it should be, hard to make bad things and easy to do good things. Unfortunately, all too often it is just the opposite in life.

Only if your modifications directly cause the damage that would have been covered under warranty. That’s actually been covered multiple times in US law and is fully your rights as a consumer, to maintain the warranty.
I guess that’s where I draw the line too. And I generally don’t even write software anymore because of that. Everything’s pretty much been done. The few websites I do need to maintain, though, I’m gonna make sure it’s something that isn’t a painful experience the whole time. Hence my custom SSG.
You might want to think about adding them to HuggingFace, and making them HuggingFace API compliant to lower the barrier to entry.

The IBM offering is appealing not because it is "first" or the "best", but because it is accessible. A lot of institutions / enterprises (including my own) are able to leverage transformer models because HF has done so much to lower the barrier to entry with their hub, documentation (model cards) and API.

How else would I have found your models but for an IBM press release?
Does services also include the 'protection money' Apple gets from Google to keep Google as the default search provider in Safari? That's worth a few hundred million a year, isn't it?
Third seems slightly better, cause at least the secondary buyer clearly knows it's $5/mo instead of having to make sure the one-time payment sticks.
They matter to show how selective and deceitful the reporting has been. Do the following stories give the impression that whites are over-, or under-represented in the Ivies? Are there any stories from illustrious papers such as the NYTimes, Washington Post, or The Guardian, that even hint that whites are the most under-represented group in the Ivy League?

The Supreme Court ruling involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina was a sharp setback to affirmative action policies often used to increase the number of Black, Hispanic and other underrepresented minority groups on campuses. - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/harvard-says-it-will-comply...

The inquiry into one of the nation’s richest and most prestigious universities will examine allegations by three liberal groups that Harvard’s practice of showing preference for the relatives of alumni and donors discriminates against Black, Hispanic and Asian applicants in favor of white and wealthy students who are less qualified. - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/25/us/politics/harvard-admis...

But several studies have shown that legacy admissions overwhelmingly favor wealthy and White applicants, and critics have described the practice as reverse affirmative action — benefiting such students at the cost of applicants of color and other disadvantaged groups. - https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/07/28/legacy-a...

when the college admissions scandal, dubbed Operation Varsity Blues, crashed into headlines, it immediately became a showcase of white privilege. - https://time.com/5943645/varsity-blues-college-cheating-scan...

How elite US schools give preference to wealthy and white 'legacy' applicants - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/23/elite-school...

And these strategies, which are legal, certainly help some types of applicants: A 2019 economic study found that recruited athletes, legacies, children of faculty and staff and kids of wealthy donors represented 43% of White admitted students at Harvard. - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/affirmative-action-harvard-supr...

Why Are Ivy League Schools Still Discriminating Against Asians? - https://www.newsweek.com/why-are-ivy-league-schools-still-di...
In high school we found we could use netsend to send messages to other computers; or every computer on the network at once. The rest of the school year was a back and forward where the sysadmins would try to block us and we would find ways around it. I think the final method that worked was writing vbscript macros inside Excel.
I’m just thinking that if website publishers are able to legally allow Googlebot but block other bots, it might contribute to the Google monopoly.

I don't know what royalties Carrie got from Star Wars, but (according to her biography) she did run out of money at times and used her fame to get money. Carrie would have been wealthy even if she'd worked for Lucas for free. Would she have been famous without Lucas? Unlikely.

Do you think anyone would pay to have a hologram of Carrie sign your t-shirt? Would anyone watch Larry King interview a hologram of Carrie? Would anyone pay to hire a hologram of Carrie to sing at their wedding? Would you pay to see a broadway show starring Carrie the Hologram?
Show HN: Internet is a small place, Chatleads
Hi everyone,

I have a crawler visiting urls forever.
I'm not really sure how to sell it or make it useful for others.

I use the information for several things , from expired domains, to find old wordpress, find sites using analytics 4...

It's an alpha, still fixing the search with an innodb table.

Have around 2.4M sites in the index.
This piece fits well into thinking that goes along with the PKM space: Obsidian, Roam, Logseq, etc.
Show HN: Dsensei, pinpoint the root cause of metric change in one minute
When was the last time you saw a metric change but struggled to find the reason behind it?

Unexpected metrics changes occur frequently for me. These changes can be attributed to factors like new feature launches, bugs introduced in new releases, or simply noise. Sometimes I leave the metrics as they are, hoping they will return to normal the next day or week. However, there are many times when I have to invest hours, if not days, in digging deeper into the issue.

While modern BI tools are good at showing what has changed and how a metric was changed, they fail to provide insight into the "why" behind the change. As a result, I have to run numerous ad-hoc queries to determine the root cause.

To address this challenge, we have developed DSensei, an open-source tool that quickly identifies root causes and helps organizations uncover critical drivers and segments that may otherwise be overlooked.

By conducting holistic analysis across all possible segments within one minute, DSensei saves the data team/product owner hours to days in performing root cause analysis. A similar tool is being used at Meta to diagnose key metrics changes, such as revenue and DAU. Now, DSensei is making it available for all businesses.

We would appreciate your thoughts on this!
Interesting. It's only possible to terminate 2002::/16 using a public IPv4 address, so if you're behind a NAT router, then the router itself must be running 6to4.

Another quirk of American home building history is "balloon framing" that used long, continuous studs for the exterior walls that could rapidly channel fires between walls. The modern method is called "stick framing" where floors are essentially stacked up which creates fire breaks. So not all wood construction methods are equal where fire safety is concerned. Modern homes will certainly burn, but you should have a reasonable amount of time to escape at least.
The point is that the source black and white image is not truthful about skin colour. The film locks in a level of lightness but that lightness may be very wrong (depending on the red and blue sensitivity of the film, the colour of the light, the time of day, the print, whether a filter was being sued).

So if you colourise an image of someone who appears to be a light-skinned 1930s African-American with colours that appear to conform to our contemporary understanding of light-skinned Black people of our era, you might be getting it right, of course.

But you might be getting it quite, quite wrong, in a way that matters.

I didn't say I had trouble finding a meaningful relationship. I said I'm having trouble finding meaning in dating 38 year old women.
Have you been in an adult relationship?

It is a huge challenge and every little aspect of both individuals will get dragged up and dealt with. Tools for maintaining intimacy and fending off resentment are crucial to any kind of longevity.

I don't think the author was "slut-shaming" but even if they were it would be more messed up to have hangups about a promiscuous partner and not reveal them until years into a relationship.
Ok so this is a Citus fork.

Where can I read about what the differences / trade offs are? I don’t see anything in the docs.
Many managers have no concept of what goes into the design and development of a product. As a result, they consider their workers to be commodities, little more than interchangeable automatons. I know this from personal experience and I still have trouble understanding that kind of thinking.

I left a job due to a disagreement and I certainly did not expect that they would be too prideful to admit their mistake and make amends. I was a one-man development team and the company's financials literally relied on my software doing what it was supposed to do. They hired a mediocre programmer and charged him with replacing my software with Perl (my stuff was written in a custom language). I had an insider at the company who fed me information. After a year of trying, no progress whatsoever was made. I lost contact with my insider after that so I don't know what eventually happened. I figure that they had to discard everything and start over. Probably cost the company millions but their pride was worth more than the money.
First time I encountered range and overkill in the same sentence. Does your car contain breakthrough battery technology? Solid state maybe?

I definitely heard it in the 90s, in 1990/1991 my university had a lab full of televideo 910 and 905 terminals that were maybe 5 years old, suffering from massive burn-in and a lot of them whined really bad, giving me a headache if I had to use them (the 905s seemed to be worst at this).

My first job also involved a dec vt240 with the same features - really badly burnt-in display and horrific coil whine that made me go home with a migraine at least twice that I remember.
I haven't answered the phone in years. All calls from unknown numbers go straight to silent, and anyone in my contacts knows not to call me anyway. What kind of real person uses the phone nowadays? It's literally scams, customer support, billing departments, credit collection agencies, and generally people you don't talk to as long as you can avoid it. Normal people use FaceTime, WhatsApp, Messenger, Zoom, etc.

There's basically zero upside to phone calls, and frankly nor is there much for SMS either. I would suggest that phone companies completely deprecate their telecom networks and go all-in on internet, but then the spam would migrate to the apps (it's already begun with whatsapp), so I don't want to give them any ideas.
> Automatic colourisation is and will be viewed differently, as more "scientific"

Then the solution is to correct that misperception, not deny ourselves a useful tool.

> I can see your point; I just think there's a bigger picture here (pun not intended) that you're not seeing.

My overarching point is that this is a tool like any other. And the idea that "doing it by hand is more respectful of the notion that it is subjective" I will push back on 100%.

There is nothing disrespectful about colorizing a photo, automatically or by hand. But it should always be clearly communicated that it is subjective not objective, whether human or machine.

Again, if someone believes the colorization is somehow "real" or "scientific" because a computer did it, then correct their misbelief. Don't stop using the tool. That's the bigger picture here.

Representation in the Ivy League compared to the US population is irrelevant. What matters is representation relative to the standard for admission into whatever elite institution. E.g. it's well documented that an Asian applicant must score several hundred points higher on the SAT to have the same chance of admission into an elite school as a black applicant.
My first stop would be llama.cpp and compatible models on your own machine. You should be able to run quantized 7B and 13B models, try them out and see if they work.

Though for "personal workflow", unless you want to be able to play with the internals of the models or are worried about privacy, I'd just use ChatGPT (in fact I do, despite having llama.cpp setup to run various models, I always use ChatGPT for personal stuff and programming question)
There's been plenty of WoW private servers throughout history hosted by people who had nothing to do with Blizzard.
You hit the nail on the head. The US could have stopped robocalls years ago, by enforcing accurate caller ID and maybe policing who got to hook up to the SS7 network, and aggressively enforcing whatever laws could be used against the scammers.

But instead, the phone companies probably decided they could make extra cash off the robocallers, not realizing they were killing the golden goose. I'm also 100% certain that both phone companies and members of Congress received bribes i mean sizeable campaign contributions and cushy think tank jobs over this.

So maybe 50-100 people made money, and absolutely ruined a working communication system. I hope it was worth inconveniencing the entire US population to make a little money, you shameless wieners.
I'm not sure this will affect that much for users except that EOL devices will still get browser updates (which I think was the main goal)

I guess it will probably also slightly simplify development of both chromeos (because it won't have a bespoke graphics stack) and chrome (because there will be one less version) for google, too.
Definitely standalone. Having some knowledge of D&D lore or Baldur's Gate lore may enhance your enjoyment but only marginally IMO.
Also, if anything like this were to be implemented, it would probably be through some sort of SaaS where payment is consolidated, perhaps as a phone bill, etc., instead of charging a credit card for each transaction.
>But how brown? How pink? How light? How dark? This is an enormously important issue

Is it?

If 2 colour film stocks took the same image of them, it would show their hue a little (or a lot) different.

Even if two different people actually met the same person, they will probably describe their face as slightly different tones from memory. (And let's not even get into different types of color-blindness they could have had).

Hell, a person's hue will even look different to the same person looking at them, in real time, depending on the changes in lighting and the shade at the scene as they talk (e.g. sun behind clouds vs directly sun vs shade vs bulbs).

It's not really "enormously important" to micromanage the (non-existent) exact right brown or right pink.
Believe me, there are many more people that care than the other way around.
Fifteen years is a long time for code to remain unchanged. Either you constantly work on it and change as the needs change, or you have a boom and bust cycle of productivity.

Another way to look at it would be: holy shit, this company made it 15 years without investing in rearchitecting their codebase even as they took on new problems. That's amazing! Now we have 15 years worth of use cases to accommodate as we remodel/rearchitect/refactor/rewrite ... do you think that new codebase will last 15 years before it needs major work?
Sooner or later, some city is going to be held for ransom by a group that has disabled (or hijacked) all of the Teslas in it. "Give us a king's ransom or your roads will be clogged with immovable cars, and thus unusable, for weeks". Right now, there are not enough software-hijackable cars on the road for this to work, but that is changing. Once you have a critical mass of perhaps even just 5% of the cars, you can bring all traffic to a halt until your demands are met.
I think privacy concepts are very culture-specific, and a lot of them are first-world problems. On one end of the spectrum people care too much about who you are. On the other end, people don't care at all who you are and you're locked out of banking or being considered a consumer segment worth developing for.

Biometrics do freak people out more than tracking cookies do, largely because they represent your actual body (e.g. this article refers to an IR photograph of your iris as an "eyeball scan" because it gives the reader a more visceral reaction - "eyeball" makes you think of something wet and biological, and "scan" sounds invasive and like it involves lasers or something.).

But they can solve some serious technology difficulties in places where other identity infrastructure isn't in place, and often the concerns are a bit philosophical compared to the tangible benefits. As with all privacy-invasive tech, the issue is exposure to rare but nasty failure modes, and biometrics has the difficulty of being non-revokable.
I'm tired of the rich and powerful deciding that it's somehow wrong for people to look after their own best interest rather than the best interest of the rich and powerful.
iOS screen time works well enough. Might look into a featureful router if you need wider coverage. Data plans are generally a bad idea.
> I don't think there would be commercial demand to, say, "upgrade" classic movies with color.

There was, and maybe there will be again once we get far enough from the consumer burnout from the absolute deluge of that in, mostly, the 1980s-1990s.

Probably the same sentiment between DLC vs Expansions in gaming.

But fundamentally no difference because you are getting a discounted price in exchange for the soft locked feature. So 2 and 3 are the same imo.
That’s not what I said.

If the code is confusing then absolutely refactor it.

There’s 3 levels of understanding DRY

1 programmer is unaware of DRY

2 programmer sees how much simpler code is when you reduce duplication

3 programmer sees how DRY can sometimes cause it’s own problems.

A good clue is that if the cyclomatic complexity of the system goes up when you DRY then you shouldn’t DRY. For example if the new single method is now full of if statements then you’re creating problems.

Another clue is if you’ve just coupled things that shouldn’t be coupled.

Low cyclomatic complexity and coupling of components is much much more important than having a DRY code base.

>Having a software unlock for hardware you already have (but didn't pay for in the price). Fine.

Tolerable, perhaps, but pretty far from fine. It's pretty shocking to me that people in our society build things and then deliberately break them so they can make more money. Is this really the best system we can come up with?

We have built a society where what is plainly crazy is rational.

As a suburbanite, I think my current tradeoff is just right. I have a big enough house for my needs and wants. But if I wish, a major city is just the right distance away and not too far. Also, the place is not overly crowded but it is neither desolate like the rural areas I have visited. I can go to the "main street" and have enough people. Finally, all the amenities I want for a comfortable life (restaurants, bars, hospitals, schools, sports facilities, airports, supermarkets, specialty stores..) are 20-25 min radius.

Rural setting doesn't have anything like that.
