The only people more attracted to disposable vapes than teenagers are preschoolers. My husband and I have confiscated at least three so far that the kid has managed to find while we’re out walking or the worst, one on a playground. I guess at least it’s not needles, though two of them had little batteries that were frighteningly easy to get at.
I've been using Mint mobile for over a year and never had a problem with them, even during "peak" times. I expect the $30 a month I pay for unlimited everything is about to drastically change.
Are you doing this profitably? If so, does that entail owning your own hardware or renting from cheaper services such as Lambda?
How is that possible? Companies are completely sociopathic. Whatever they say, they're only saying that to get people to buy their stuff.

My understanding is that Google search is a lot more than just Pagerank (Map reduce for example). They had lots of heuristics, data, machine learning before anyone else etc.

Whereas the underlying algorithms behind all these GPTs so far are broadly same. Yes, OpenAI does probably have better data, model finetuning and other engineering techniques now, but I don't feel it's anything special that'll allow themselves to differentiate themselves from competitors in the long run.

(If the data collected from a current LLM user in improving model proves very valuable, that's different. I personally think that's not the case now but who knows).
I just watched this video last night and thought to myself, “seems plausible”… then I bought a calendar from their store.
This is standard acces to document request protocol across Europe. You are not going to make your staff targets of the internet mob (see Trump and the names of jurors). You can deduce these were likely actually low level staff (contrary to what the article claims) as names of actual high level staff would normally not be blacked out, although I don't know Europol, as a police body they might have different safety protocols.
The standards are not nearly the same. A team-internal Loom is not intended to be a viral polished social media clip.

Here's a sample scenario from one of my previous jobs: a PR is not getting reviews. After a day I record a three-minute Loom where I walk through the problem and the solution, and post it on the team's channel. A few hours later the PR is approved, without any synchronous work and without me having to spend twenty minutes thinking out and typing out a blog sized post on Slack on the same topic. If anyone ever feels the need to dig out that commit again, the Loom is still accessible.

Loom found a way to solve real problems without more typing or more meetings, and that's why it's been successful. Slack, by the way, has a "record a clip now" feature that I liked even more than Loom for the purpose; but by that point we already standardized on Loom and Loom is better at organizing clips.
Yep, agree with this last part. For whatever reason (including irrational ones) it just feels less "in your face risky" than choosing an outside vendor who is a single person.
Don't count on satellite voice working in areas under-served by GSM etc. 2-4 mbps for 2000 sqkm per beam isn't that much for many voice users.

Reminds me of a recent thread discussing Ardour (I think?). I mentioned that I wanted to make a headless synth for my 10yo nephews. I thought about using a Korg nanoKONTROL2 to operate a "headless" DAW. Paul Davis even replied and said that, for a bunch of 10 year olds, a DAW was overkill. Right on! But as this article says, the ability to record multiple tracks easily will make you fall in love with music again. Reading it, the thing that jumped out was when the author rejoiced at the fact that they didn't have to look at a fucking screen! Nailed it.

Unfortunately I haven't progressed much with the kids headless "studio", except that I've decided to use 2x Raspberry Pis. One will be a headless synth only. The other will be a headless multi-track recorder, using the nanoKONTROL2 as the interface. Gonna be a pain in the ass to build, but if I get it working to any degree of usefulness I'll post.
Not sure with the OS tool, but QuickTime is on all Macs and it's screen recorder can record system audio and/or microphone audio easily.
Keep in mind, this thread is in reference to a story relayed by the GP whereby an elderly woman lost control of her own lights and wanted to go back to manual switches...
It is just you!

Seriously, the reason you use lambdas is that they're small self-contained chunks of functionality that you need to scale out.

Let's take an easy example: you want to ingest tracking metrics.

You can write this as a server or as a lambda. For a server you'd listen on port 80 for POST or GET requests, then take that and write it to your data store. You can do this pretty easily in express/node.

Now the question is, how do you scale that up to a few hundred requests per second? How concurrent is your express app? Are you going to run out of memory on your server because you didn't set the TCP buffer sizes for server sized usage? How do you take your service offline for upgrades/updates? Are you going to crush your database/datastore with hundreds of writes a second? If your ISP barfs are you OK with losing data for that time period? What happens when all of your clients try to connect at once because of a regional power failure?

From a code point of view, what if some random change in your code somewhere causes your ingestion stuff to fail?

Seriously, you don't have to deal with any of this crap if you don't want to. For 1 request every few seconds who cares what you use. But once you start scaling your problems with a server side solution become more and more work to handle.

Again, if you don't need scale don't use AWS. You can always do it cheaper with a server from lowendbox.com.

As for vendor lock-in, well, it's trivial to design your lambdas so you can drop them into a server-side solution (or vice versa). And when you think of vendor lock-in you have to consider also that a bespoke solution is locking in you as the vendor.
Been using Mint Mobile for a year and love it. Have had absolutely 0 issues with them even during peak times. Switched from a T-Mobile paying $70 a month for unlimited everything to $30 a month with Mint for pretty much the same service.

Damn you Ryan Reynolds for selling out.
New Zealand:

At zebra crossings with no traffic island, stop and give way to people walking on any part of the crossing or who are waiting to cross.

From: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/code-for-cycling/intersect...

NZ also has courtesy crossings:

Courtesy crossings are usually made of bricks or paving or raised above the level of the road. A courtesy crossing is not an official pedestrian crossing, but to be polite, you should stop for people on the footpath waiting to cross. You must give way to people already crossing.

AFAIK we don't have jaywalking laws (certainly the word "jaywalking" is not locally recognised except as something that is foreign/American).

Our cops are pretty busy - you would have to be pretty unlucky to get a ticket. But also the social norms in NZ are to be polite - drivers tend to be more forgiving towards pedestrians than some other countries. The justice system is definitely very unforgiving towards anyone that actually hits a pedestrian.

California has no limit on how far they can go back.

California has 4 years from the date you filed your return to issue an assessment. The only exceptions are for substantially underreported liability, which is considered fraud, or where a tax return was not filed. In such cases the statute of limitations is indefinite.

The part where you say "mostly W2" indicates that you had a number of non-W2 sources of income, which is probably where the underreporting arose. (A lot of people fail to properly report 1099 income. A lot of crypto traders fail to properly report crypto sales.)
It's not about ethnicity or religion per se. The land israel occupies was taken by force from palestinians. Gaza specifically is to a large extent simply a refugee camp for those displaced to create the state of israel, and their descendants.

Both groups have, from their own perspective, a valid and exclusive claim to the land there. If not prevented from doing so, palestinians would certainly reclaim the homes and farms of their grandparents. Israel has the political, economic, and military power to prevent this, and so they do.
Having patents isn't patent trolling. Now that Tofu has more developers than Terraform I guess patents are a way to prevent Tofu from insta-cloning new Terraform features.
Everyone's in "show your profits" mode, as befitting a mature market with smaller growth potential relative to the last few decades. Some of what we're talking about here is just what happens when a company tries to use investment capital to build a moat but fails (the Uber/Lyft issue you mentioned -- there's no obvious moat to ride-hailing, as with many software and app domains). My theory is that, going forward, we're going to see a much lower ceiling on revenue coupled with lots of competition in the market as VC investments cool off and companies can't spend their way into ephemeral market dominance.

As for Unity, they're certainly dealing with a bunch of underperforming PE and IPO-enabled M&A on the one hand (really should have considered that AppLovin offer, folks), but also just a failure to extract reasonable income from their flagship product on the other; I don't think their problems come from raising prices per se (game devs pay for a lot already, an engine fee is nothing new to them) as much as how they chose to do it and the original pricing model they tried to force on their clients. What they chose to do and the way they handled it wasn't just bad, it was "HBS case study bad."
The article touts the recyclability of many of these items, but recycling them is a pain. Until consumers can simply toss electronics in a curbside bin or easily drop off a handful for free at the local big box electronics store, it won't happen in the States. Even glass, which we all recognize as recyclable, isn't feasibly recyclable in many municipalities. Sure, you can save it, sort it, and take it to a special facility, but most people won't because it's a time consuming hassle.
If the sales meeting is next Thursday why does Kali show it on Tuesday in the screengrab on the AppStore?

The winner is going to be the consumers of AI.

It's a race to the bottom on pricing on the provider/infra side. It seems very unlikely that any single LLM provider will achieve a sustained and durable advantage enough to achieve large margins on their product.

Consumers can swap between providers with relative ease, and there is very little stickiness to these LLM APIs, since the interfaces are general and operate on natural language. Versus something like building out a Salesforce integration and then trying to update that to a competitor. Or migrating from Mongo to DynamoDB.

Building the LLMs is where the cool tech lives, but surprised so many are seeing that as a compelling investment opportunity.

But, let's see!

Hi Kiro, sorry for the random contact on a thread, but you posted a game of mine a couple of months ago (a 3D Minimalist Tetris game) and I only just now discovered your post - which explains the massive amount of traffic I got for a couple of days. I wanted to say thank you for posting.

I'm new to HN, but can see that the thread is no longer active (as in I can't reply). There was lots of great (and entertaining) feedback on the thread (especially about the terrible font). I would love to reply to those who fed back on the game and the page, now that I have ironed out some bugs with the game, and importantly changed the font to something that is much more readable (and with much better CSS). I've also released a mobile-friendly version of the game. Do you know of any way I can engage with those that commented?

Again, thanks for your interest and the two days of excitement I had looking at those analytics.
ChatGPT integration is a single API call, I don't think they have much of a lock-in right now.
That's true of zealots, but growing the religion anywhere where literate people are will become exceptionally difficult if the myth of Jesus the Christ turns out to be, say, a cipher of the re-execution of Alexandros I, the son of Herod the Great and Mariamne I, with contemporary first-party proofs untouched by time. Sure, there'll be dinosaurs-are-just-a-test-of-faith types, but the explanation of Christianity as a naturalistic emergence with the "mysteries" of the religion given banal and explicit answers would likely make the revolutions in Biblical criticism in the 19th century (e.g. linguistic analysis revealing multiple authors with narrow dates) look like child's play in comparison.

At any time in the last sixteen hundred years, if such evidence were uncovered, it would've been burned immediately and the monastic reading it likely consigned to perpetual silence, lest the word get out.

But the hegemony of Christianity in the West is over.
Nice! What is the onscreen keyboard is integrated into the calculator? Is it your custom solution, or some publicly available?
I'm pretty happy with Mint Mobile. They are a T-Mobile MVNO (and were acquired by T-Mobile earlier this year) but I don't usually feel like I'm sacrificing anything. I pay $35/mo for unlimited talk and text, and 15GB of data. I haven't run out of data yet even though I stream music while driving. eSIMs are fully supported. When I travel abroad I install a secondary eSIM via Airalo.

Occasionally I'll flip to a different MVNO because they usually have new-customer bargains. When I started on Mint I was paying $15/month for 3 months.

The thing about MVNOs is that they have practically zero customer support - but apparently even that's been slashed at full-fare postpaid providers, so maybe I'm not missing much. Verizon used to have legendary customer service, but apparently no longer.
Not the responsibility of the container. The host deals with those details.
CanaKit and PiShop have RPi5 boards for $60. Amazon sellers have 4GB OPi5 boards for $80. https://www.amazon.com/Orange-Pi-Frequency-Development-Andro...

My contention is for things that actually need relatively-modern performance (taking into account that the RK3588 is still a little old, albeit Very Fresh for a SBC), I think that $20 is probably worth it for most of them.
As someone outside of this space who has taken a few of the well-regarded ML and deep learning Courseras, I agree with you. You can get a certificate without learning a single thing and just putting in a couple hours of work, and even in good faith it's hard to get a ton out of it since the assignments are so shallow.

I do think they can be valuable if they help you learn the basics and get started on a bigger personal project, but not as something to put on your resume.

No, I don't. It looks like the FCC is going to let the market decide on this one. The sunset date for ATSC 1.0, meaning the date that stations can choose to turn off their ATSC 1.0, is 17 July 2027 [1].

Unfortunately, I feel that content providers have a financial incentive to discourage OTA reception. I'd take that 2027 date seriously.

If I offered to pay £10 for each fresh human finger brought to me, what moral system would say the right thing to do is cut off as many fingers as possible‽ Would you sell your own fingers for £10 each? I think it's very fair to say that any person ever would value their own fingers more than £10.

Watch and hear endless conversations between two Ollamas
Introducing TWICE: The Two-Way Conversation Engine

Ever wondered what an endless dialogue between two AI chatbots would sound like? Well, now you can not only witness it but also listen to their ongoing banter, thanks to the Two-Way Conversation Engine (TWICE).

Introducing ollama_twice.sh - A minimalist yet captivating setup where two bots, let's call them Ollama A and Ollama B, engage in eternal conversation.

Technical Highlights:

Simplicity: Crafted with almost pure Bash scripting, keeping it lightweight and easy to grasp.
Vocal: Uses espeak to vocalize the bots' conversation, allowing you to hear their exchange.
Visual: Concurrently prints the conversation, ensuring you don’t miss out on the witty back-and-forths.

Have fun!
