Yep. Just as anybody can stand up a social media platform clone - the value is in the network effect and content on the platform. Because of the content and discovery features on Bandcamp, I've discovered several bands I'd never have heard of otherwise.

If you're leaving hosting and promotion entirely as an exercise to the band/artist, you're not meeting the actual need. Bandcamp (mostly) met the need of artists and music enthusiasts. Unfortunately it's now in the hands of an entity that seems to care about neither.

If you used GPT as a brain you could provide the current time as an input for it, but otherwise yeah, GPT doesn't have time within it's input by default, but if you did:

Made the instruction to be: Say "Stop!" when 10 seconds are done. And then had a loop where

You give it current time in a loop, it would surely be able to do that.

But I'm not sure if or how that is exactly related to consciousness?

Time, the best way to think of it is probably a series of ticks anyway, and I assume in people's brains there is something to do that, so it would be reasonable to add a mechanism for GPT as well.

GPTs goal is to only act as the intelligent part of the brain based on the input.

You can do this with a custom "focus" which allows you to block notifications from specific apps (or make an allow list which is probably not what you want). Then you use that focus by default most of the time.

Unfortunately I don't know how to do the same with notifications that are sent via SMS.
By contrast, I don't think this is a good idea. Popping up an alert that puts a human in the loop when the title is modified might be good, but automatically reverting seems bad.

One of the biggest problems with the Canadian housing market is that people move to “where it’s cheaper”[0] in massive quantities. Sometimes they can afford it, but a lot of times they are moving on credit.

And then of course, if a big enough group of people moves to the same “affordable area”[0], supply drops below zero and there’s additional demand pressure caused by the people “at the back of the line” who are still chasing the idea and need housing.

It even got to the point where people started snapping up anything that had the possibility of being a “house hack” house or a multi-unit rental property.

[0] in many cases areas are only more affordable on paper. Less tax, more tax but lower food costs, cheaper rents, cheaper housing prices, etc. Not only do those change as the population and conditions change, but they are isolated parts of a local economy where many people still have a lower quality of life.

- classic print journalism has seen advertising income drastically collapse as ad budgets shifted towards the Internet

Print used to have dedicated sales people who had relationships with agencies and brands and could connect those organizations with a dedicated and defined audience. Both sides were vetted. And if any problems occurred there was a responsible and responsive party to fix things. Marketing people could rest easy at night knowing their ad for khaki pants would not be next to photos of white supremists marching in New York wearing khakis.

They gave that all up for the opportunity to show ads for the CatTurd NTF at $0.50 per thousand impressions. You know what defeats ad blocking? Serving the ads from your own servers.

In the end they gave it all away to Google and Meta because they were shortsighted. Just like Sears ended their catalog operations leaving the field open for an Amazon.

I’m waiting for someone to propose gathering all of the quality posts from Medium and Substack on a specific topic or interest area and publish them together for a dedicated audience. They could do this on a periodic basis.
And you’re on a VC company’s advertising “social network”. Whataboutism does nobody any good.

> rich and powerful people push for them or if millions of little people revolt about it

You'd be surprised how easy it is to get time one one-on-one with a congressperson/senator and their entire legislative team. My strategy is simple, I just call and ask if I can stop by and say hi for 20 minutes or so. If you get 10 minutes, you are doing as well as most lobbyists. If you do get a meeting be nice, even if you disagree with the Senator. Your not going to debate them into changing their vote. But... if you share engaging and emotional stories, especially about people back in the home district, you might just get what you need. Also, be ready for this question: "What's your ask?" That is where you can be really direct: "I'd love it if we could get ___ passed, or It would be really good for the home district if ____ didn't pass." Have a quick story answer for why: "so people like ___ don't have to close ____ on ___ st in home city." Schedule around meals - a lot of time the legislator will go to lunch (and pay for yours) just to avoid another hour with legislators and negotiators.
> Essentially the MS RDC protocol is just rsync run twice in a row, with the rsync metadata copied via rsync to compress it further.

There's an important difference is that RDC uses a locality-sensive hash algorithm (MinHash, IIRC) to find files likely to have matching sections, whereas rsync only considers the version of the same file sitting on the far host. rsync encodes differences on each file in isolation, whereas RDC looks at the entire corpus of files on the volume.

For example, if you do the Windows equivalent of cat local/b.txt >> local/a.txt, rsync is going to miss the opportunity to encode local/a.txt -> remote/a.txt using matching runs from a common local/b.txt and remote/b.txt. However, RDC has the opportunity to notice that the local/a.txt -> remote/a.txt diff is very similar to remote/b.txt and further delta-encode the diff as a diff against remote/b.txt.

Show HN: Notation – Bridging infrastructure and runtime code
Hey everyone, Daniel here. I’m building an open source framework that makes it easy to code and deploy serverless applications – https://github.com/notation-dev/notation | https://notation.dev.

I wanted a tool that delivers the benefits of serverless (scalable managed services), but with a first-class developer experience.

Here are the main concepts:

1/ Notation provides a set of primary infrastructure resources (eg API gateway, lambda, event bridge etc) that can be composed together into serverless apps. They are fully typed, so slot into place very easily. A lot of annoying cloud implementation details – things like constructing valid ARN strings, and writing JSON policy documents - are handled by the framework.

2/ Secondary infrastructure resources (eg IAM roles, permissions and integrations) are inferred from the relationships between the primary resources, and from explicit user intents. You can see these visualised in a generated graph.

3/ Runtime code (ie the lambda function code) belongs in separate modules – but, these can be imported into and referenced by infrastructure modules. Again, we have end-to-end types, so if a lambda function were configured to accept and API request, but got attached to an SQS stream, the compiler would quickly complain about that.

4/ Notation apps can be deployed directly to your own cloud accounts. If you want to develop locally, you can deploy using watch mode, which hot-swaps infrastructure resources, and provides snappy updates of serverless functions, while you code.

The next step is to integrate more AWS services, and then later expand to other cloud platforms (feature requests ofc welcome).

You can give Notation a spin at https://github.com/notation-dev/notation. I’d love to hear your feedback on the approach!

The American "justice" system is a poorly-disguised vengeance system in practice. One that doesn't particularly care about the correctness of its processes, so long as it can claim to have prosecuted and made miserable its victims.

The rot has metastasized into plain view with hokum like "911 call psychology", maliciously incompetent evidence handling, arson analysis, bullet analysis, civil forfeiture, and has even compromised previously honorable and integrity-backed professions with embarrassments like shaken baby syndrome.

> I'd argue high quality journalistic work is supremely valuable but it needs to be targeted

Ok, sure, I can agree so far.

> and lots of legacy news properties (NYT, The Guardian, etc) have been doing that

And you've lost me. the high-status outlets that survived the online transition are doing "rushed college essay"-tier work at best. Where's the "high quality journalistic work"?

I recently realized I should compare the news to the non-fiction I'm reading all the time. It's not THE NEWS but whats the real difference between one 500-to-5000 word explainer for newbs and another? One is the news because it's supposed to be important. Otherwise it'd be an obscure subject matter explainer like the other shit I'm reading. And god damn is the news embarrassing themselves.

Unfortunately in my area of the USA south, there simply isn't much free land to explore. We have contained city parks and a few state parks. Less than 2% of all land in state. Everything else is either developed or privately owned.

"I studied my map for a while and found what appeared to be its most boring grid square: no roads, houses or rivers, just a single footpath, one pond and the merest flutter of a lonely contour line. Here, it seemed, was nothing at all, neatly outlined within crisp blue lines."

Near me that boring grid would almost certainly be fenced off. Untouchable.
I don't fully understand this idea. In the UK I can just point in a direction and walk unrestricted anywhere i want? Through peoples farms, yards, castle grounds, etc?
I think you’re misunderstanding something. There’s no need, and even no possibility, to have “rclone support” on the server, and also no need to “read it all”. rclone uses the features of whatever storage backend you’re using; if you back up to S3, it uses the content hashes, tags, and timestamps that it gets from bucket List requests, which is the same way that Restic works.

Borg does have the option to run both a client-side and a server-side process if you’re backing up to a remote server over SSH, but it’s entirely optional.
> Your first mistake (by trying to make sense) is reading the Bible as a historic book of records that actually happened.

Why do you think I'm reading it like that? I thought me saying "nah, polytheism" might have been a hint that I don't take it at all literally.

Likewise that I was referring to the internal logic of the story.
There are a wide array of different payment preferences depending on the country.

Bank transfer isn’t universally the most popular method of e-commerce transactions. For example, PayPal seems to be the most overwhelmingly popular online payment method in Germany. In the UK, PayPal and debit cards are the leaders. Debit cards are also generally popular globally (a debit card isn’t the same as a bank transfer).

https://blog.2checkout.com/popular-online-payment-methods-gl...

https://www.rapyd.net/blog/the-top-payment-methods-in-the-un...

This speaks more toward someone like a musician needing a solution that has many payment options to appeal to a wide breadth of customers, not some kind of dig on US e-commerce and banking because “Europe does it better and the US is stuck in the 19th century.”
Your example for a row-oriented just adds UNION.

But you need first to order by column to get the rows in the desired order, while SELECT just indicates which column from the rows to return.

source table -> filtered rowset -> grouped rowset -> filtered grouped rowset -> ordered rows -> ordered rows with selected columns only

Next stage in AI?

> According to Bongard, that's because these AIs are, in a sense, too heady. “If you play with these AIs, you can start to see where the cracks are. And they tend to be around things like common sense and cause and effect, which points toward why you need a body. If you have a body, you can learn about cause and effect because you can cause effects. But these AI systems can't learn about the world by poking at it.”
Unless I'm doing SELECT *, I almost always want quite a few pieces of data. Therefore it is more natural to say:

"Let's go to Starbucks and get coffee, soda, danishes, sandwhiches, soda, and a coffee cup."

It would be confusing to mention all the various items first and the store near the end.

"Let's get coffee, soda, danishes, sandwhiches, soda, and a coffee cup from
Starbucks."

This aside, the fact that doing the FROM near the end prevents autocompletion, is plenty enough reason to change the ordering in my opinon.
Hi, I used the [WhisperSpeech](https://github.com/collabora/WhisperSpeech) model for the TTS part after I did some serious torch.compile optimizations to bring the latency down. The Whisper speech recognition and the LLM were optimized through TensorRT-LLM by Marcus and Vineet.

It's not perfect but I am still extremely proud of how it came out. :)
and that network effect is what allows for enshittification to proceed unabated.

We're watching that start right now with AI. which is probably the real danger of AI: locked in work flows, exploited by capitalism to leverage shitty outcomes as a way to drive up profits and downgrade outcomes.
