Not directly, anyways. Google still gets to track which pages you visited and what you searched while trying to answer questions you interact with on the site.
There's also alternative frontends like Rimgo : https://codeberg.org/rimgo/rimgo Then you can use LibRedirect to redirect all imgur urls to a more friendly frontend. (Now there's the issue of imgur aggressive block of datacenter/vpn IPs but it's another story)
At a glance, this looks like something you could pretty trivially re-implement without the web UI. It's not terribly hard to write middleware to reject requests based on things like IP address, especially if your rules don't require state (like rate limiting per IP instead of just flat dropping based on IP).

I do think it must either be early or abandoned; the NodeJS installation instructions are just an empty page.
> 1. There is a strong correlation between built-in carplay and failing the requirements of marcuskane2's comment.

What is the significance of this? There is an even greater correlation between built-in wheels and failing the requirements of marcuskane2’s comment.

Whatever negative effects of connectivity have nothing to do with CarPlay/Android Auto. They have to do with the availability of mobile broadband and software advances in 2024 that allow for more rent seeking.

If anything CarPlay/Android Auto are the only thing preventing more rent seeking, by giving people the option to use modern navigation and audio entertainment without going through a car manufacturer.
And who determines that reason? Twitter seems to work fine with no restrictions but Discord basically has to lock down any server marked as 18+

(regardless of the content of 18+. Don't know how mobile has had 15 years to do granular content warnings based on decades of other medium but app stores still assume 18+ = porn).

Did you copy and paste this from ChatGPT?

Edit: Low IQ downvoters are too stupid to recognise obvious ChatGPT replies. I checked his comment history and found that he uses ChatGPT here regularly https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41274200
Idk, I think most beginner distros are fine. If my dad (who primarily uses Apple products, browses the web, checks email, that's it) can figure out Fedora + GNOME, I think anyone can.

You don't need to break it... just crack the radiator enough for all the circulating fluid to drain, then it overheats.
First thing I do when I move is install a bidet (bought the house I’m in now, so just replaced the toilets with fully integrated ones).

Not buying much tp any more of course, but it still serves a purpose.
I didn’t read the parent comment that way, who did give due deference to spacex. This is hard stuff, as I was reminded when the dragon capsule exploded during very early testing. But spacex is such a beast that it overcame that ridiculously fast.
> Most police officers will bully you within the extent of their authority and try to deceive you into complying beyond their authority, but will not physically break the law.

"most" is probably correct, but of course cops that don't break the law don't make the news because it's uninteresting.

I think the real problem we have is the cops that DO break the law and violate your rights and absolutely nothing happens.

A cop that searches your bag without probable cause or consent needs immediate retraining on the first offense, and needs to be fired on the second offense. If the cop gets fired and then gets hired as a cop somewhere else and commits the same offense, they need to be permanently banned from being a cop.
As per the page, the author made it to fix a personal annoyance. It makes sense they made it work for whatever browser they use.
Yeah, definitely for multiplayer. Love what Valve is doing though, hopefully more companies will follow suit.
> it's incompatible with the "learn while playing" concept

I'm not 100% sure about that. I do believe "learn while play" is less efficient for memorization, and it especially sucks when it comes to somewhat hard-to-see patterns. But you still do get memorization from it. (E.g. in music, you could either learn the circle of fifths, or you spend forever noodling on songs and at some point discover that relationship).

Learn-while-playing is essentially ab initio research, and that only works for an inquisitive mind, with lots of friction added over memorization.

I'd suspect that something like structured play is striking the best balance between being interesting and being useful. It definitely works for kids, based on the research I've read. I'm less clear if it works for adults, but... probably yes? Just nobody's building those structured opportunities?
I mean are you trying to just use LLMS? or Learn how to build and train them?

If you are just looking to use LLMs, you are basically either going to be using ollama with the smaller size models to run on hardware, or you are going to be using an API online to run inference in the cloud. All of this is pretty easy.

If you are trying to learn ML in depth, then you just have to basically start from scratch.

Start with Karpathy Micrograd project. It basically shows you how stuff works under the hood. Get the repo, run the examples, play around with it. Try to figure out how to approximate a mathematical function, i.e you give it one input and then the output is a single value.

Then familiarize yourself with Pytorch. Start with the official tutorials, and try stuff.

This is also a good read.https://pytorch.org/blog/inside-the-matrix/

Then you have to basically grind out the following steps

1. Read a paper about some model. Start with small papers like digit recognition with MINST. Then move onto things like image recognition, e.t.c. Generally you want to cover basic classification models, image detection models that draw bounding boxes around stuff, and things like auto encoder.

2. Implement the model in Pytorch (or model application, like for example recreate the deepfake face swap with autoencoders). This is going to be the hardest part to grind out, but it gets exponentially easier after you start cause you will realize that a good portion of the stuff is boilerplate code.

3. Load the weights downloaded from the internet

4. Run the model and verify it works.

5. Retrain the model. If you don't want to generate a dataset, you can basically just shuffle up the labels. But you can find different datasets for different models available.

As a cheat, tinygrad repo has some of these implemented in tinygrad, so you can look at the code and reimplement it in pytorch. https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/tree/master/examples

Then, familiarize yourself with the LLMs. Karpathy Nano GPT is a good start. Then same idea, read->recreate For example, read about flash attention and then try to recreate it.

Also separately, you want to look at Hugging Face Accelerate library and learn how to work with available hardware for both inference and training. I.e try to use all compute resources (CPU/GPU/Disk/Ram) on your box to run stuff.

If you can do all of this, you will be significantly more skilled than a lot of ML people in Big Tech.

As a bonus, you can also explore tinygrad, and how things actually happen on the gpu when you run a model.
That’s interesting. I’m very introverted I think. Being social when I would rather not (which is most of the time) makes me very miserable. To the point of being depressed.
Pretty much this. We add the data the balloons themselves are collecting to make things more precise as well
I had the idea for a bookstore/pizza place/laundromat/bar years ago.
They don't need to break into separate sites though - the issue at hand is that a single failure in the centralised "control plane" from the vendor (i.e. the API server that talks to consumers' apps) can be incredibly vulnerable.

Here's a recent example where a 512-bit RSA signing key was being used to sign JWTs, allowing a "master" JWT to be signed and minted, giving control of every system on that vendor's control system.

Oh ok I was mainly in Thailand where they had a lot of them, even in the office I worked for a while (luckily they had a few mnrmal ones too). They did have bum guns for washing in many cases even with the squat toilets.

Not sure about Vietnam. Never been there, but Thailand is SE Asia too :)
The mayor says to the police chief, find out who is doing this. Maybe a detective talks to the head librarian. Maybe the detective sets up a trail cam across the street. There's way more than $100k worth of resources available and full time employees with forty hour paychecks to work on it.

There might be more rewarding hobbies than discovering that the world works in the same fairly predictable ways it always has. If this is really your mission in life, you need bulldog lawyers not technology.

Hope is not a plan.
> We must consider the worst case, which is that the attacker is trying to not only physically break the inverters, but the batteries, solar panels, blow fuses, and burn out substations.

Power transformers have a loooooooot of thermal wiggle room before they fail in such a way and usually have non-computerized triggers for associated breakers, and (at least if done to code, which is not a given I'll admit) so do inverters and every other part. If you try to burn them out, the fuses will fail physically before they'll be a fire hazard.
> It might backfire. Manned space missions are risky and expensive, and the interesting discoveries seem to be coming from unmanned missions. Are there enough microgravity experiments left to justify the risk and expense of the ISS?

I think NASA loses the funding game if they try to justify themselves based purely on "interesting [scientific] discoveries."

When they said "launch more often" I guess you took that advice to heart :) Congrats on the launch(es).
NASA is a fundamentally political organization. Given that it's political the risk isn't worth it. Risk only happened early in NASA's history (Apollo) because the alternative geopolitical risk (Soviets landing humans on the moon) was so much higher. Once that driving force was gone there was no longer an appetite for risk.

And even look today, look at the relatively small risks (minor environmental rule edge skirting) SpaceX takes with unmanned test vehicles (Starship) and how much they're completely and constantly raked over the coals for it. The media in the modern era only knows how to attack and criticize.
They removed the autonomous flying part for this mission, so they can't jettison it without a human inside. They are supposedly working on adding that feature back in. It also cannot be attached to the canada arm so they can't even clear it away from the port its using.
> A sailor is sailing her boat across the lake on a windy day. As the wind blows, she counters by turning the rudder in such a way so as to exactly offset the force of the wind. Back and forth she moves the rudder, yet the boat follows a straight line across the lake. A kindhearted yet naive person with no knowledge of wind or boats might look at this woman and say, “Someone get this sailor a new rudder! Hers is broken!” He thinks this because he cannot see any relationship between the movement of the rudder and the direction of the boat.

It is easy for you as a keyboard warrior to denigrate a country with real elections as a “corrupt dictatorship.” What proof do you have to make such a disparaging statement? How long did you live in Cambodia? How many bribes did you have to pay? Do you have the conscience to actually admit the truth?
I didn't specifically call out ChatGPT so those ToS do not apply here. The government can either create their own model, or not disclose who they are using, in which case they can generally blame AI for misleading the people. We live in a world where deep fakes are being promoted by Elon Musk in a very global way, and people are eating it up, despite it being against platform of choice terms of service. So if you think that a ToS sentence will stop people in power from abusing AI, I would redo that mental experiment.
> When it is sunny in the netherlands, it is likely sunny everywhere in NL because of how small the country is.

Often friends of mine who live in my city report rain when I see none, or no rain when it's raining outside my window. That's to say nothing of a location 30km away, where basically anything can happen. Do we live on the same planet?
> JSON BinPack is space-efficient, but what about runtime-efficiency?

> When transmitting data over the Internet, time is the bottleneck, making computation essentially free in comparison.

i thought this was an odd sales pitch from the jsonbinpack site, given that a central use-case is IoT, which frequently runs on batteries or power-constrained environments where there's no such thing as "essentially free"
I guess that is because sunflowers have short harvest cycle?

But iirc sunflower demands greater land areal vs olives for same yield, and the shorter cycle process ought also then cause more CO2.

So I suspect although olive oil is more expensive, but environmentally a better choice.
Hah those are exactly the ones I'm using. And the only ones wide available here anyway (even in Spain though it seems to be a UK brand)

Never have issues with them anyway.
All this happened when Roblox was private, I don't believe there was/is any monetary interest beyond whatever executives had from their employers. If it's anything like the story for getting Roblox on game consoles, then it really is executives caring about what their kids also care about, and that gives RBLX a huge leg up.
That's really weird, I also have a Gullikit controller (the one with the hall effect sticks) and it works perfect OOTB on my desktop & laptop, both running Linux. Maybe try switching the mode on the controller to Windows/Android instead of Nintendo Switch?

I know roblox is the most popular target. But really, any network enabled platform with a large base of children will have a grooming problem.

I was surprised reading the article that Roblox already spends 28% of revenue on Safety and Trust. Maybe Roblox is just that gigantic a platform to where that's still not sufficient.
There was a huge difference between an American 'period' and an English 'full stop' to me for decades. The same thing having two different names in the same language only became apparent to me well into my life. Hearing US stand-ups ending lines, punctuated with a throaty 'Period!' I thought were referencing time immemorial, not just 'that's the end of my sentence'.
>> IMHO, Starliner is too big of an MVP

Keep in mind that Starliner is NOT the entire launch system. It is only the crew capsule. It rides on top of an existing rocket. The same is true of SpaceX Dragon which rides on top of Falcon 9 that already existed.

To your point, Starliner could have started as cargo-only to prove out as much as possible. That's what Dragon did.
Do you end up crying day after day, using drugs, dropping out of school, etc though? As loneliness does that to people.

It is not that it is mildly painful for introverts to socialize when they do not want to, but rather that loneliness can be extremely painful.
Touch screen support depends on your desktop environment, I'd recommend giving a modern GNOME + Wayland setup a try. As for battery life...yeah, that's hit or miss. There's some management tools that can help sometimes.
Nope. I have no idea why that name is used term here. There is nothing remotely waterfall-like about what's shown on that page.

I thought it was going to be something like CoverFlow (the page-flipping paradigm that Apple tried to popularize years ago in iTunes), but vertical.

Regardless, this little utility looks very nice! It addresses the irritating lack of a simple image browser that lets you move files around.

Sweden, is .. a strange country. Yes, its liberal. But at the same time. Its part of the old world, as in the ancient world, that was before the WorldWars. It had eugenics until the 2000s.
This is really nice! "Waterfall-style" doesn't mean anything, though. What are you actually referring to?

The lack of a simple, efficient image browser on Mac (or Windows, for that matter) has been a daily annoyance. This thing browses efficiently, lets you move files, and doesn't try to build a "database" that you have to maintain. Good job!

Are there build instructions anywhere? I don't know how to resolve the missing frameworks. I tried cloning the project recursively, but this didn't add anything.
> Also seems to hard code a MacBook device agent in order to associate the generated keys with a device.

Hold short, so you don't need an iOS device technically to onboard AirTags, any Apple device is sufficient? Why in the name of everything that is holy does Apple not support this officially, just to push sales for iOS devices or what?

(Angry rant of someone who bought an extra used iPhone despite owning like 5k in Apple desktop/mobile gear, just to be able to onboard some AirTags)
> RS232 port specification and you can create your own dongle!

This is just a way of pretending to give access while making it as hard as possible. We are talking about a device that is already connected to the network. The local path is not some rest services, but a serial port for which I need to fabricate some hardware? Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.
We do, yes.
Thats just being a kid. Their $10 digital costume was some $5 cheap batman figure some 30 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the skin lasted longer.

Of course the key here is that kids don't always get what they want when asked. I don't understand how some kids can just get unfettered access to a credit card and spend hundreds on such stuff.
Generally, having to unload data from GPU ram, and load a new set of weights in is quite expensive, so my guess is that the backend is built out where an input gets reservation to some cluster based on some ordering, and the batch is ran through.
A) Government destroys competition in marketplace by allowing looting, etc.

B) Government passes laws to prevent “gouging” by remaining government-funded incumbents, further increasing risk to new market entrants.

C) Remaining providers depart, leaving no service in the area.

D) Government creates new DMV-inspired provider to “help” the populace, which provide acceptable service to absolutely nobody (see: $billions for government provided fast car chargers that were never built)

E) Taxes are increased to support and expand the useless provider.

F) Go to step A for the next market.
> Roku has also tested a feature that "would force viewers to sit through effectively a mid-roll ad when clicking from the Roku City screensaver to return to home screen,"

This is absolutely horrible and I assume it's only a matter of time before I decide to hook up my PC straight to my TV so as to obviate the Roku/Plex combo which until now I've considered the least bad option.
Fun fact: nearly every estate sale in the Midwest US has both Vaseline and uranium glass pieces in them. And it's cheap to buy.
You can use it to feed extra context in, similar to RAG but allowing the LLM to "decide" what information it needs. I think it's mostly useful in situations where you want to add content that isn't semantically related, and wouldn't RAG well.

E.g. if I were making an AI that could suggest restaurants, I could just say "find a Mexican restaurant that makes Horchata", have it translate that to a tool call to get a list of restaurants and their menus, and then run inference on that list.

I also tinkered with a Magic: The Gathering AI that used tool calling to get the text and rulings for cards so that I could ask it rules questions (it worked poorly). It saves the user from having to remember some kind of markup to denote card names so I can pre-process the query.
The tragedy of middle-aged invisible family men. I provided some raw materials and ChatGPT wrote it.

They've got some money, but debts weigh them down,
A ledger of losses in a life nearly drowned.
They cherish their family, yet silence prevails,
Words left unspoken, love hidden behind veils.

Their wives look away, where passion once burned,
Cold beds and long nights where affection's adjourned.
Their children reach out, but only for gold,
A transaction of love that's grown bitter and old.

They enter the office with silence in tow,
Leaving with burdens only they know.
They rage at the world, but keep it inside,
A secret despair, in shadows they hide.

Life is a balance of wants and regret,
A dance in the dark, with a past they forget.
They carry on, in the weight of their plight,
Hoping for dawn in an endless night.
