Thanks for your answer!
I agree and was honestly considering this when I posted (admittedly the title was meant to be somewhat response-provoking):

> If you compare it with its competitors on many issues McDonalds is rarely the worst,

Deliveries from local restaurants or ghost kitchens partnering with takeaway.com are often much worse regarding packaging and at least as common here as McD.

Still also lots of waste at McD. A special thing here is caused by tax differences:

Most McD restaurants I've been to package your order in a takeaway bag even if you explicitly pick "Eat here" when starting your order on the terminal.

It means they need to pay only half the tax.
Isn't the length of the walk the number of edges?
Full stop, yes you should freeze.

Issue isn’t if you have debt or not. Credit rating agencies start tracking very early, and what they’ll track for you is basically “no data/low credit score.”

That doesn’t mean you’re not in the system, or more importantly - doesn’t mean qn attacker can’t take out debt in your name.

A freeze is the only thing that stops this for you and your kids. I hate that it works this way but such is life.
None of you guys built this. Brewster Kahle did. Everyone fantasizes about how they would have sold at the top. But you won't. Ultimately, the Internet Archive took balls. That was the defining attribute. And the guy with balls was always going to take it farther than just that. That's what it means to have balls.

All the guys who fantasize that they would have stopped at the perfect stopping point would have never started. You can run a mirror now. You can run a crawler now.

Heritrix is free software. The IA dump is retrievable. What's stopping you from making The Compliant Internet Archive? Nothing really except for the fact that none of the armchair quarterbacks have even seen what a ball looks like.

Correct, GPT-4 is 20-30x the cost compared to GPT-3.5-turbo, but that's more in another class entirely. IMO a finetuned-GPT-3.5-turbo won't beat base GPT-4 for the use cases where you really really need GPT-4, but that remains to be seen.

The real alternative to a finetuned GPT-3.5-turbo is still the base model with a very very complicated system prompt.

Danish host ransomwared for €130k, all accounts lost
azero.cloud

translated : For customers in Azero

Unfortunately, during the night of Friday 18-8-2023 at 04 a.m., Azero was exposed to a ransomware attack, where criminal hackers shut down all systems. Websites, e-mail systems, customer systems, our customers' websites, etc. Everything. A break-in that has paralyzed Azero completely, and which also hits our customers hard.

As we cannot and do not want to meet the criminal hackers' financial demands for ransom, Azero's IT team and external experts have been working hard to get an overview of the damage and what was possible to recreate.

Unfortunately, it has proved impossible to recreate more data, and the majority of our customers have thus lost all data with us. This applies to everyone we have not contacted at this time.

The hacking attack has been reported to the police

Heck, it was magical to me when I first learned it in my 20s.
So, you are asking if solar can technically replace all of our energy needs? In a time independent fashion?

That one has plenty of stuff written about. Yes, it can.

One other good question to ask is how much of it will be replaced on the next 5 or 10 years. That's where all the discussion is, because if it takes 30 years, we'd better also invest in alternatives, like nuclear.

(And wherever the price of electricity goes, the cost structure doesn't automatically change. Thus if the market stops supporting investing in solar in 10 years, everything except for natural gas and wind will be already bankrupt. Oh, and if the current changes on the cost structure continue for 10 years - there's some reason for them not to - you can cut wind from that list too. In other words, if you concern is about the cheapest form of generation becoming unprofitable, that automatically means we just don't really want more energy.)

I feel like this is a dismissive response to the article, as if there were some sort of “gotcha” clickbait going on. I perceive it to have delivered exactly what the headline promised: Doxxing (and worse) for sale using lightly regulated lookup tools provided by credit bureaus.

Was there something that diminutives these claims?

I've practiced mindfulness and meditation for many years until I found "The Tao of Pooh", which, if you're not familiar, outlines the basic tenets of taoism. It has completely changed me and made me feel whole for the first time in my life, and I don't have to practice anything to achieve it.

Early on in my life I was drawn in by proverbs and other pieces of wisdom, in an attempt to fill in the gaps of what I thought was missing, to fix myself and make me feel whole. Then mindfulness presented itself to me and it gave me a feeling that everything just worked - it was simple and applied to everything; but I couldn't hold onto it. I wanted to just be, and be ok. Non-dual mindfulness felt like the answer to that problem, but while it sounded right in theory, I still felt that it was something I had to achieve or maintain.

When I read The Tao of Pooh, everything clicked for me. I could be myself without trying. My whole life has become open-ended. It also helped me to understand something that always nagged at me - how could some people appear to be mindful from birth, without having read anything about mindfulness? - People who seemed to always grow and learn in a way that upends their nature continually (nature vs. nurture?), while I felt that there was always something I was missing.

The answer(for me) was 2 things
-an ability to see myself as whole, despite the capacity for personal growth; -and complete/lazy faith in my intuition.

(Intuition being this kind of thing that everyone is born with - and so in my view, the only thing that could transcend the differences between every living being. The differences in access to teachings, wisdom, philosophies, religion, culture, etc.)

I'm curious if anyone here has felt similar with meditation/mindfulness, or has had experience with both that and taoism and what that journey was like for you.

Having read their privacy policy and done a quick search for Dark River Systems (bottom of link's landing page, to the right) that would be a hard "Nooooop!" from me. Then again I guess that's why there are things like guerilla mail etc eh?

An interesting 5 minute rabbit hole tho and https://www.sapperlabs.com/code was a chuckle... for instance ---

"DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

I’d wager that most of that data is anonymized and redacted usage and error stats. Big difference between that and entire data sets
How effective could this be? Maybe if it was super popular, maybe integrated on some browsers like brave or opera, it might send a message, but otherwise, isn't it just a way to give money to ad companies?
To add, the establishment LOVES when team red and blue fight over social issues.

Not that social issues aren't important, but the outcome of social issues never negatively affect the crony capitalists in power. Social issues are the opium of activists and pundits to distract the very same activists and pundits from decades of policy that only benefit the elite.

Raytheon LOVES when people fight about abortion rights.

Citibank LOVES when people fight about police reform.

None of these social issues actually matter if the entire middle class is ground to dust and scattered into the wind.
> FWIW I am lucky enough to live in a high density part of an old city, and it is wonderful.

I live in a low-density US suburb built in the late 90s. The prototypical place that according to the memes, I must drive 30 minutes to the nearest store.

> I can walk 8 minutes to a small street of shops with almost everything I need. I can cycle to other parts of the city to enjoy other amenities and meet friends.

Also, I can walk in ~10 minutes to stores and entertainment of nearly any type I could need.

It's not a binary choice of dense city center or can't walk to anything. Most suburbs can be very walkable.

CUDA and Linux work just fine together. Nvidia GPU drivers and Linux (especially mobile Linux) are a bigger problem, but on desktop Nvidia works fine (just don't enable Wayland) and on mobile it works fine as long as you have an integrated GPU to actually render to your screen.

I don't think I've ever had trouble getting CUDA to run. It seems to be the only thing Nvidia cares about making work reliably on Linux.
> I think the distinction is important, particularly to those who are concerned that AI may obsolete their jobs.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. I am one of those concerned about AI putting lots of people out of work, but I don't see how that distinction affects (or should affect) my concerns.
Weirdly I have both of these as well and feel total opposite. Give me the Thinkpad keyboard any day of the week. The mac keyboard feels down right anemic.

That is the greatness of it. It reminds me of democracy: The less powerful join together to give everyone an equal vote, rather than having one vote per dollar.
Claude is available in these countries. You only need a VPN for the signup process.
i would guess that the ideal price is also to raise the charge to make finetuning a last resort rather than a first resort; its probably much better cost- and research-wise if everybody just prompts the same model than silo off in their own minimodels.
As a side note, you can literally write a C# program and run it inside PowerShell without installing the normal .NET toolchain. Add-Type can accept a string with C# source code and it'll build on-the-fly and load it into your PowerShell environment. And from the C# code you can P/Invoke C functions if you need.

Once you've loaded it up, you can use it directly from PowerShell. I've done this in a pinch and then wrapped it up in a normal PowerShell cmdlet to do things that weren't available from PowerShell otherwise and without needing a .NET build workflow, without needing to store .DLLs, etc. In OP's situation that's what I'd be doing instead of building .DLLs.

I in no way meant to smear, I asked for opinions. I find it personally very hard to judge the credibility of any content online these days. Also no, a PhD is just a title, nothing more. I would say when it comes to research, what matters (applicable in some fields) is transparency and reproducibility. The work often should speak for itself, regardless of any titles. Do you find the idea that there could be a PhD who would publish pseudo-science farfetched? Or what about someone without any title publishing a ground breaking paper? Reality is more complex than attended institution and acquired title. Still, I wasn't smearing anyone.
that looks really good!

I think the main blockers are the pain of re-learning the software, and migrating things over. Lots of designers have down this already in the last few years from sketch.

It's like software frameworks where young designers want to learn the most popular, coolest tool to help find a job, and companies want to use the most popular, coolest tool to help with hiring.

I don't think it being self-hosted changes this for better or worse, but they still have a tough task ahead to get a critical-mass switching.
Just been trying Nushell and comparing it to Powershell, and you can clearly feel the inspiration, except that everything is a table or a list of record instead of their own special objects.

It makes the syntax quite a lot cleaner, albeit sometimes less convenient, but more coherent.

With Powershell Core being the same on Windows, Linux and Mac OS, I find it much better to write small scripts with it, and more portable too. Never have to find out that the options to sed or another utility isn’t the same on macOS vs Linux for example.

The US intelligence agencies is literally copying all the traffic from every US citizen(except maybe if you're some elite sorcerer wizard hacker) in real time and have been doing so for almost two decades. They have the same capabilities as China.

And yes, the US and China are not the same. But they both have the same capabilities. Parent poster argued that the Chinese government had a greater capacity to spy on their citizens("better tools"). I simply pointed out that it's false.
Seriously, it's ridiculous. There should be a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom of every marketing email. You get click it, the email is immediately removed. None of this "please confirm your email" or "please wait ten days for processing" bullshit. Nobody is forwarding your marketing emails. It's not unreasonable to expect ESPs to generate the list at send time and not two weeks in advance.

No, many of the meditation practices, such as Jhana and nirodha sammapati do not require any religious beliefs at all. Of course, the skeptic is unlikely to spend the vast amount of time needed to master such skills.

They are relatively rare in big tech, and the culture of being nominally “anti MBA” is pretty aggressive in big tech, but there are a lot of them still there. I think there is some bias to not notice them because usually middle and upper management at big tech are the movers and shakers of 20 years ago during dotcom and such when the companies were growing rapidly and SV was a lot less corporate. And if you’re a peon, you probably don’t interact with management much beyond your director, which IMO tends to be a soft ceiling for advancement for technical non-mba types these days.

It’s pretty common ATM for product managers to not have direct programming or software backgrounds and instead have a career like “MBB consultant -> MBA -> product manager”. Big tech companies also insource a lot of “strategy consulting” which are MBA types. And marketing/biz dev have plenty of MBAs too.

While someone like a “director of engineering” probably doesn’t have an MBA, there’s a good chance their boss does (especially since these days VPs seem to mostly be former product managers rather than former software engineers).

By the way, Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Andrew Jassy, and Cheryl Sandberg all have American MBAs.
To be charitable, I imagine it might help disincentivize indiscriminate account takeover attacks targeting the account recovery process.
This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but you might consider buying an existing business and doing that. You could check Loopnet for some ideas.

For example, in the Denver area (just to pick a random place), there's a laundromat for sale for ~260K, with gross revenue of 214K and an EBITDA of 120K, which would certainly satisfy your 3K/mo revenue requirements. Link here: https://www.loopnet.com/biz/Business-Opportunity/under-contr...

I'm not a laundromat owner, though I know a few of them, and they aren't 40 hour/week jobs. It's not totally risk free, but it's not a terrible job.

Consider opening a Crossfit Gym: https://www.loopnet.com/biz/Business-Opportunity/established...

Or a Dog Kennel/Spa: https://www.loopnet.com/biz/Business-Opportunity/successful-...

I think a lot of us think that tech is the only or best way to make a bunch of money, but Hacker News is also a place of bustling entrepreneurship and starting your own business doesn't have to mean starting a SaaS company. You could write your own pet kennel reservation software, for example, and then dogfood it (ha!) until you feel comfortable spinning it out into software that can be sold to other pet kennels around the country/world.

I have no idea if this is useful to you, but I think it's a fun idea. I'm considering doing something similar to this myself, when my current job ends.

Good luck!

So that tells me they have an alternative to driving, in the form of practical public transport.

The OP was highlighting the scenario were cars are being wished away, without any practical alternative. That's not going to work. The alternatives need to be made available first, then people can switch.
I never understand those articles. I have been doing everything with a normal bike my whole life, including shopping and bringing the kids to school and kindergarden, and I see no reason to let my body atrophy by pointlessly buying an expensive bike with a motor. Then I probably need to spend even more money and time on a bike machine in a fitness studio and more money on doctors after suffering from weight related illnesses. Those articles always assume that car is the god given default state. It's great for the elderly and for my colleague who is suffering from long covid but everyone else I know is doing perfectly fine with a bike without motor including my grandpa until he got around 85 years old.
Yes they are. For instance when working on a product ideas, technology (like loading and annotating schematics) etc.
