I've been working on my own similar, local-first solution for several years, because I simply cannot introduce a significant external dependency to my mental stack. Behavioral data is some of the most sensitive and dangerous data to leak.

There's irony with these types of apps: the more utility I can gain from them, the more risk I have should they introduce dark patterns, become defunct, or even make well-intended changes that break my personal workflows.

The scenario outlined on Comigo's home page begins with the user prompt "Hey Comigo my board meeting is in 4 hours and I wasn't able to work on my presentation slides..." - a context-aware agent would certainly have pre-empted this well before the same day, right?

Sorry if this seems overly critical. I have a lot of passion for this space, and there's a huge need, but there's something like 20,000+ "mental health" apps out there, and nearly every single one I've encountered has big red flags.

Or maybe you just don't provide all of this, maybe the entire network expects your server to be fragile and is running everything in a virtual machine to start with. You just have a box in the closet that runs a node in the mesh, with however much power and storage you want to throw at it, and this grants you x% of those numbers from ClosetMesh.

First, a direct positive emotion - I'm aware of how much my doing routine chores helps my wife and family. And it is a trade, I'd much rather do the chores than the routine paperwork that my wife does instead!

Second, I use doing routine chores as meditation and thinking time. It does lead to doing the chore less efficiently - I might break off loading the dishwasher to pace, think, and jot down a note. But it is also personally productive time for me.

> eps up 5%

Only because they buyback.
Correct. That's a problem of a manufacturer for not having a competing product.
Another factor that is commonly overlooked which keeps prices from falling: the price only needs to be affordable to buyers.

When supply is very low, you only need a small group of buyers being able to afford sustained high prices. It doesn't matter if the general public can't afford a 400K home. Only buyers need to be able to afford it, and you'll always have a group that can.
(1) is state ownership; all the others are private. Those are the same two options I listed; you just mentioned some subcategories of private.
it already has stateful firewall

so that's: source ip, dest ip, protocol, source port, dest port, connection state (say 16 bytes total)

doing NAT too is what, 3 more bytes per connection (8 bits for an offset into an IP table and 16 bits for the translated port)

I wonder if a less mature project like this would have similar struggles?

Please explain: why are you "not that lucky" to be her 23rd partner?

Please explain: why does "19-year old beauty" need to "glimmer through" to sustain a relationship when one is "old and annoyed?"

These are assumptions you're holding. In my opinion, they are _not_ conducive to a healthy relationship.

You cannot accurately colourise skin from photographic film without an _enormous_ amount of knowledge of the taking and processing of the film, and of the lighting and subject.

An AI can't do it any better than a painter. You can't take a scan of a print or a negative and get skin tones right.

Think about how weird the skin tones are from scans of wet-plate photography plates compared to the same process used in antiquity with the aim of producing a carbon print.

Strange, I cannot recall the last time I ran into one and I write a lot of Erlang. Both Erlang and Elixir share the "Let It Fail" philosophy, additionally it is also highly encouraged to use pattern matching, guards, and error-handling techniques to deal with potential type-related issues and errors.

On the other hand, I get it all the time with Python, for example.
Anecdata, but a few weeks ago I drove from LA to SF in my 2018 Model 3 (long range, single motor). It has a 75 kWh battery pack, my drive was 417 miles, and I drove 70 mph for probably 90-95% of the trip. I used a total of 95 kWh, which equates to ~329 miles on a full charge (100-0%). My efficiency was 226 Wh/mi.

There are absolutely other times when I'll get substantially less range, but it's understandably when I'm driving faster of more aggressive, or it's colder outside, or it's primarily uphill, or there's a strong headwind, etc.

There are a lot of different factors that can affect a car's range (regardless if it's an EV or ICE), and it seems like Tesla has decided to show the EPA range on the dashboard because there's no way they could magically know where you're driving if it's not entered in the navigation system. Once you start navigation however, it's able to factor in all these externalities and give a very accurate estimate. On the first leg of the above trip, I arrived to charge within 3% of Tesla's estimate.

They literally can't win. One group of vocal users is outraged by how much money Mozilla takes from Google while the other half screams about how Mozilla is trying to gasp gain additional revenue streams that isn't taking money from their biggest competitor.

> Do you really want Mozilla to get pinged with your IP address every time your browser process starts and exits? Yuck!

No, but I really don't give a shit either. At a certain point, I looked in the mirror and said life is too short to care about stupid shit like that. If I was a spy or a journalist in some state like China or Iran, maybe I would care. But this feels odd to hone in on when any website you go to is collecting all sorts of info of this sort.

https://getborderless.com/ would be one alternative I can think of that's in the same space as Wise.

But they too will behave in the same way at some point, due to compliance requirements. Banks and fintech companies need to know 1. who you are 2. that your income is from legit sources.

For #2, ask your customers (who paid you recently) to give you a copy of the banking app records of those payments, where the last 4 digits of the payer's bank account can be seen. Wise can then cross-reference those against what they see on their end, at which point they can declare your source of income verified. (I had to learn this the hard way myself.) Very importantly, those payment records have to be from the banking app that the accounts payable team is using, not Ripple or any internal payroll system.
I guess it can be. To me it's more for calling attention to a current event (api shutting down, breaking changes at a service, privacy concern, etc). Kind of like a PSA. Using it as a blog post feels inappropriate to me.

But checking the guidelines and FAQ, there doesn't seem to be anything to actually imply that it can't be used that way.

It depends on wether volume matters or not. The comment you are replying to speaks about seasonal storage. You can use caverns for that, like with natural gas. You only need around 3 times the volume to store the same energy as with natural gas.

For vehicles like trains it can still be advantageous compared to batteries if you have very long ranges you have to drive without the possibility to recharge. Batteries simply get too heavy, bulky and expensive then.
If you can't find a match yourself, what makes you think someone else that doesn't even know you can?

The in-between would be people who actually know you setting you up with someone else they know, which I imagine could work.
It's a good primer. It's also more complicated than that.

NAT mappings can change (your router can reboot etc). So you have to be ready to 'try again' dynamically.

Port number can be as important as IP address. The STUN server can see one port number, but a different one may be used by your gateway for talking to the real desired endpoint. Result: fail, at least for TCP

I used to do all this but used UDP. One port for talking to everybody. Had to tag packets with some kind of UID so I knew who it was from, since every conversation came thru the same port. That worked better.

Still UDP is the red-headed stepchild of the internet. Some countries(!) didn't used to allow it. Some corporations don't. Some routers screw it up regularly - drop packets, reorder packets, don't do reassembly if they get fragmented. Had to recover from all that.

My approach was to use WiFi size packets (<=512 bytes) with a UID and a single port for everything. Put sequence numbers in them, and reorder if they got swapped (a regular thing with some routers).

And always be prepared to revert to TURN (your public server that forwards packets for you).
I have not tried guanfacine.

My problems are loss of appetite, trouble sleeping (leading to sleep deprivation that itself causes loss of executive control), and irritability.

"all you need to do is focus" is what I read when I see an "ADHD help" tool/article/lifestyle/pleasegiveusmoneyscheme about 90% of the time.

Imagine a magical genie came to you and said, “if you pay me 50% of your net worth, within 6 months, you will meet the person who will matter more to you than any other you have ever met. You will fall in love, have children (if you want), and spend the rest of your lives together.” Would you take that offer?

I think a lot of people would consider doing that. But of course it’s not that simple. What happens when your partner finds out about the genie? Would you have met that person had you not paid the genie? Or maybe you would’ve met them in 24 months instead.
I see what you mean. I think that you can happily scale the B&W image down, run the model, and then scale the chroma information back up.

Something I was thinking about after writing the comment is that the model is probably trained on chroma-subsampled images. Digital cameras do it with the bayer filter, and video cameras add 4:2:0 subsampling or similar subsampling as they compress the image. So the AI is probably biased towards "look like this photo was taken with a digital camera" versus "actually reconstruct the colors of the image". What effect this actually has, I don't know!

This means "$1 to $200 dollars" to me, which is why the next comment, starting with "probably a lot less", surprised me at first.
This hits the nail on the head for me and why productivity apps usually aren't worth much.

> This involves a lot of managing of my emotional state, and a lot of REJECTING of outside demands by the world that I conform to how the world wants me to be.

A hallmark of ADHD is emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, so what exactly does rejecting "outside demands" look like? How exactly are you managing emotional state if not with medication? Ironically the only way I've managed my emotional state off medication is by conforming to outside demands and ignoring my individual desires/motivations as much as possible.
Tesla is the only one using that "EPA advertised range" as a way of calculating your remaining range. Everyone else uses the normal, ICE car way of monitoring current driving behavior to get instantaneous efficiency, and rolling average over time multiplied by remaining "fuel" in the tank.

Tesla is the only odd one out. Surely Tesla employees have driven cars before right? Surely they should understand that.

it depends on your query obviously.

In general, I did very deep benchmarking of pg, clickhouse and duckdb, and I sure didn't make stupid mistakes like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36990831

My dataset has 50B rows and 2tb of data, and I think columnar dbs are very overhiped and I chose pg because:

- pg performance is acceptable, maybe 2-5x times slower than clickhouse and duckdb on some queries if pg is configured correctly and run on compressed storage

- clickhouse and duckdb start falling apart very fast because they specialized on very narrow type of queries: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47520 https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47521 https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/discussions/6696

Most rational decision from a financial perspective: Hire your partner by the hour.
100% this. As a small time farmer. I cannot butcher my own animals and sell them to anybody directly. I have to sell them "on the hoof" in a minimum size of a quarter of an animal and then have a custom butcher process the animal. I can't sell any of my meat directly to a person after it's butchered, or to a restaurant. I can only sell in those cases if I go to an FDA certified meat processor, which is 400 miles one way from my property. So essentially I'm limited to selling meat to either friends and family or shipping my animals 400 miles and paying $2 a pound in processing costs.

So no the Prime act isn't a way for corporations to go around the rules, it's so small guys like myself can sell meat to people without having to truck it 800 miles.

Sounds about right for how to best treat our human overlords.
No it's not, not really.

A diverse data set of black and white images doesn't have any kind of knowledge of the colour sensitivity of the medium in that moment.

What film was it? How was it processed? Is it a scan of a negative or a print? What was the colour of the lighting? Was a particular colour tint filter used on the lens? Was the subject wearing makeup optimised for black and white photography?

The black and white image, standing alone, cannot tell you this, I think. Sure, it might get a bit better at, say, identifying a 1950s TV show. But what is the "correct" accurate colour representation of that scene, when televisual makeup was wildly unnatural in colour?
