It's the only machine I ever got at launch. Utterly gigantic purchase for 14 year old me

This was more than a small part due to the calculation that early models were more likely to be hacked and I'd save myself a lot of money emulating snes games instead of buying new ones...
> and the people in prison can leave anytime they want - it is just prison guards outside who would shoot them.

By that standard, given what the guards would do, you would need to also claim that "prison is a death sentence".

He wasn't under house arrest — he went there against the desires of the police force outside who stationed officers there to perform an arrest for skipping bail.

Calling this "house arrest" is akin to calling voluntarily serving on a submarine "drowning" or working in the antarctic "hypothermia": he chose to go there, and to keep staying there. More than that, he chose to commit a new and easy to prove crime by going there.

His argument against going to Sweden, *after having been arrested for the Swedish extradition hearing in the UK*, was a fear of a thing the UK ended up doing, and which it should have been obvious the UK would do willingly whenever the US asked for it. The US has no need to make things more complicated by asking for Swedish involvement given how friendly the UK government is.

The UK is infamous for doing whatever the US tells it to, so if you're afraid of US prosecutorial/extradition overreach, the UK is one of many countries where you don't want to be. Sweden, not so much.

If the US wanted him back in 2010, they could have had him directly from the UK with full support of the UK government, without any of the convoluted extra steps in this conspiracy theory that makes the Swedish judicial system into patsies.

> And what happened to those crimes in Sweden once he resolved his US issues?

The statute of limitations happened. Bits were already timing out even before he overstayed his welcome by Ecuador.

Nevertheless the prosecutors did try to reopen that prosecution and to get the UK to extradite to Sweden first over the US, only to be told no by the judge because the evidence was too old to secure a conviction.

That pre-existing cancellation was why the British didn't feel the need to bother telling Sweden when his asylum was cancelled and he was arrested, much to the annoyance of the Swedish prosecutors: https://www.courthousenews.com/%EF%BB%BFsweden-tells-uk-it-t...

And only after all that had already happened, did the US issues get fully resolved.
This is exactly the problem. There are so many 20 minute videos that should have been 2 minutes.

In a way, it's much easier to make the 20 minute video. Just hit record, rant an rave, stop recording and publish.

There are indeed justified long videos stuffed full with knowledge, insight and witty comments to make it fun.

Then there are "slow" videos but magical. Paul Sellers has a 30 min video on how to make mortise and tenons joint with hand tools. Just you and him in real time. You get a (recorded) private lesson from a master craftsman. It's magic. Every minute of it is knowledge transfer.

Ask HN: Is there a tool to categorize and summarize all of my bookmarks?
Over the years, I've accumulated thousands of bookmarks on my browser. I've manually set folders for them and tried adding them appropriately as I went. However, after years of adding and adjusting, they have become very difficult to manage.

I'm wondering if there's a tool that would do some or all of these things:

1. Auto organize all my bookmarks into categories
2. Make bookmarks searchable by the content of the website they point to

If nothing like this exists, I wonder if I should write it myself, either as a browser extension or a separate program. I'd assume it'd look something like this: pull bookmark link content -> run it through an LLM to categorize and summarize -> store.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
I have many expat friends living in London, which honestly is part of the motivation to move, and what you're describing is my expectation. Likewise agree that I don't think others commenting on this thread fully grasp what a uncontrolled disassembly the US is going through right now. Completely unprecedented.
For people who don’t know the backstory, back in the wild west days of the internet, Tumblr’s official content policy (and I’m not making this up) was “Go nuts! Show nuts. Whatever.”

When they changed it a lot of folks were unhappy https://www.tumblr.com/photomatt/696629352701493248/why-go-n...
And yet, London is one of the top 5 Great Cities of the world. For that reason alone the UK is worth considering.

- "EIS officers are hired under Title 42, a mechanism that allows the federal government to bring in the best and the brightest, in some cases paying them at rates higher than the typical public sector wages. It offers workers fewer job protections, however, making Title 42 workers easier to fire."

I'd guess this is the main reason DOGE targeted this particular agency for extreme cuts (other sources reporting 50% [0]). It's the same reason DOGE is wiping out all the fed's new hires—because those are probationary, it's possible to fire them with less administrative work. It has zilch to do with competence or efficiency. It's outright anti-aligned with competence, in this case: this agency (EIS) hires–per that quoted paragraph–highly-skilled outsiders at far above public-sector wages. That they're easy to fire means there was a lot less dead-weight, to begin with, in this subgroup relative to the rest of the federal bureaucracy.

(Perhaps it's a good time to read up which other federal agencies hire under this Title 42).

These people are much more interested in creating a shallow facade of efficient small-government, than in putting in the actual hard work towards building one. Because this isn't efficiency; this is vandalistic looting!

I have a decent sized homelab in my basement that I use for most stuff, and then a couple cheap-ish dedicated servers for public-facing things. Nothing has GPUs though, so I don't have a good solution for llm/ai projects yet.

I used to use cheap vms/vps from lowendtalk deals, but usually they're on over-subscribed hosts and can't do anything heavy.

Actual host recommendations: I like Racknerd and Hivelocity currently. OVH too, but I've read a lot of horror stories so I guess ymmv.
Hey! I’m the post author. Highly recommend Sander Dieleman’s blog for alternative interpretations https://sander.ai/2023/07/20/perspectives.html

I personally find the SDEs the most intuitive, and the deterministic ODE / consistency models / rectified flow stuff as ideas that are easier to understand after the SDEs. But not everyone agrees!
The React team really does not like SPAs, which I think is a bit of a shame. I'm not a big fan of the mish-mash approach of client and server components that Next et al now encourage.

For the type of app that React excels at, or at least the type I like to build, the performance issues with a SPA aren't a big deal.
I agree that in principle, it's great that spending is being checked and payments "audited" (I have no clue if thats actually what is happening, I assume it's no KPMNG audit). However, are they really being audited? Is this the manner in which this should be done?

I am not a Trump voter. I agree with the outcome they have stated - reduce stupid spending - but I have no idea thats the true motivation, the true goal and I disagree with the manner in which they are doing it. Just because you agree with the dictator doesn't make it right?
Do you seriously believe that most of “that money” will go to the employees?

Big chunk of the revenue might go to employees but Tesla is massively overvaluated company whose market cap is dominated by fictitious capital not tied to any real asset. Its hype believe magic money - a big speculation. And none of that money ever goes to any employee. It all goes to shareholders.

If anything by buying Tesla you are helping to keep this hype alive.
Yes, but it's a shell nevertheless :), and it actually now supports some of the most common bashisms, so simple copy-pasted commands designed for bash now work. For any actual scripting IMO bash (or /bin/sh) is still the better choice, since it's installed everywhere, even though it might not have such great syntax.
Interesting response. The article might not be your cup of tea, but your anger (no capital letters) and lack of empathy are revealing. Clearly this struck a chord, hope you feel better soon.

The article mentions React Router (v7) which is a framework, so it is not just Next.js.
I don’t think these are broadly accepted opinions of society. They may be more broadly accepted by people who would read this article though.

Theta represents all the model params — all the weights in the neural network. The convention is to write theta for the “learned” score function and omit theta for the “true” score function.

If you need minimal js, there's no need to use frameworks. I don't understand why we came to think the opposite, but you absolutely don't need state managing, effects and a build chain if your goal is to merely show some content on the web.

If you need to write a web application, on the other hand, you absolutely need all these things, because your mutable state will become a mess after a short while, your event handlers will call your components in a thousand tangled ways and you will want to navigate your code and your types using your IDE. But, again, if you just want to show content with minimal javascript, you don't need to worry about that. Leave all that stuff to web application developers, instead of looking at that stuff, concluding it's too complex for you and ranting against it on the Internet. It's not made to solve your problem.
please make an AGPL3+ paid service out of this, so companies can use this instead of google xD
>So now you need a framework on top of React - itself a framework.

You definitely do not need any framework for react, you don't even need a build step. And react is not a framework. Not that it has objective meaning, but I think these frameworks are not abstraction layers on react, they are tools sitting along side it to make things easier or give more features. You still interface the same with writing the same old jsx.

Do you understand you're referring to optional components and add-ons?

You mean the command line interface that you optionally use if you choose to do so?

> and kube-proxy and ingresses and load balancers…

Do you understand you're referring to whole classes of applications you run on top of Kubernetes?

I get it that you're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Just understand that you can't argue that something is complex by giving as your best examples a bunch of things that aren't really tied to it.

It's like trying to claim Windows is hard, and then your best example is showing a screenshot of AutoCAD.

On top of that, NextJS doesn't even support the <Image/> component (and thus all their image optimization) when exporting to static output (unlike Gatsby). So you will be pushed even closer to pay them.

How would that work? Microsoft has subsidiaries or divisions in other countries.

Pretty sure Microsoft has modified Azure to be China-compliant.

Nope, you can use React just including it in your html page. All the added complexity is to give you a better dev experience if you need a highly interactive web application. Routing, linting, types, server rendering, state managing, static files, etc. You don't need all this if you're not developing web applications. You can write html and js and be happy.

With DOSBox-X, and probably some other DOS emulators as well, you can set up any SVGA BIOS graphics modes you want to (up to at least 32-bit color with 16-bit integers for screen width and height), so a DOS application using just the standard BIOS functions can run in fullscreen on a modern monitor.

A bit trickier if you want to run on real hardware, especially since BIOS support is basically gone now. Not sure how old hardware you have to go back to to even boot up FreeDOS. I ran it on some late 00's hardware and everything runs insanely fast. I did not remember computers could be that responsive and not annoying to use.
Because they are typically highly suggestible, unsure of themselves and excellent at retrofitting justifications onto events. Single? Must be a choice because she's an Independent Woman.

I feel sorry for society. One generation grew up with Arnold Schwarzzeneger, the next with Billy Elliot. And women have been brainwashed with other bollocks.

The girls I know want to date a masculine guy and can't find many. No wonder marriages are failing and birth rates are falling. And that's before you get to economic reasons.

I literally had a girl cry in my arms the other night while whimpering "I'm a single, independent woman". You couldn't make it up.

Having lost a child a few hours after birth I cannot imagine the pain that comes from raising a child and having them taken away. Losing my daughter was hard enough.
Yeah, but certainly wasn't common until 802.11n 5GHz stuff shipped and became in common consumer use. The target market for a psp would have had 802.11b or .g 2.4 GHz only home routers/APs. Think Linksys wrt54g and similar.
With all the stuff Facebook has made, PHP also has gotten a JIT on the standard package, I would stay it is fast enough, easily outperforming anything one would do in Python or Ruby.

If you care about performance in Webapps while using dynamic languages, it is pretty much PHP or nodejs, at least until CPython and Ruby MRI JITs improve.

I would have added VB.NET, but it isn't going anywhere nowadays.
I think you want both. To scale the model, e.g. train it with more and more data, you also need to scale your inference step. Otherwise, it just takes too long and it's too costly, no?

It’s not. All the conversations are stored. I think the next keypoint in the AI history will be the first LLM data leak and the fatal consequences it will have for its users.

It would say something like, "This text attempts to summarize the entirety of human knowledge".

Still, IMO summarizing videos is useful. Even if the summary is not accurate or a 1:1 representation of the content, you can mostly get the gist of what is being said without being baited into watching advertisements.

Although, this site doesn't seem to do a great job at summaries. Kagi's universal summarizer has much better results, https://kagi.com/summarizer/index.html . However, it requires transcripts to be available for videos.

I used Linux desktop 2007-2018 as my primary OS. It improved a lot in terms of hardware support and ease of use. I was very satisfied as it being my daily driver and miss it. The problem I face now is app ecosystem. I have developed hobbies besides programming (music, photography). The second problem is that Apple Silicon/hardware is just so good.

I don’t know if 20 devs can solve the app ecosystem problem. Although, gaming is getting there … so maybe there is hope for regular apps as well.

This article seems like complete bullshit.

I don't think we're going to do anything of the sort and I don't think this whole idea that we are somehow over-regulating anything has anything to do with reality. The people who want to remove this 'over-regulation' are American firms, primarily focused on tracking and advertisements.

I don't find anything concrete in the article that we are to have rolled back. It sort of tries to conflate the EU and Europe to get some kind of 'win', but Britain is its own thing, and it then tries to claim that we're rolling back regulations.

This will never happen because it's idiocy and we all know it. It's pretty obvious when the only ones arguing for it are foreign competitors. There are AI rules that can probably be loosened-- on model sizes etc., but it's not like people can serve up arbitrarily large models to people anyway.
Speaking of DOS and configuration. Everyone used to whine about that. Having to put cryptic lines of text in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to get some game running. But I look back now and I see my old configuration files that I used on my last DOS computer, or the files I use to configure FreeDOS, and it is really not bad at all compared to any modern OS.

In two short text files, maybe typically a few dozen lines in total (and the OS installer is likely to give you good defaults) it sets up all preferences, from command-line keyboard layout to TCP/IP to what settings DJGPP need to compile C++. There is no control panel or other annoying settings GUI to hunt for settings, just two files.

Unless you are very careful about saying that it's "a" showdown and does not imply that that ChatGPT is better than therapists.
(There so many others showdown where ChatGPT is better than psychotherapists, such as speed-reading, connecting to the internet, getting care from OpenAI -- but these aren't really relevant).

To be able to show that ChatGPT can do better, a study would need to consider much longer term interactions, where memory of the past conversations is important, to keep track of what worked, why, and how to adapt the strategy in response.
Furthermore, everybody knows that "you're valid sweety" is going to be a much preferred reply than a harsh truth. So preference cannot be taken as a proxy for efficacy or anything really.

The paper, "When ELIZA meets therapists: A Turing test for the heart and mind", does not really make such claims, but says that "This may be an early indication that ChatGPT has the potential to improve psychotherapeutic processes.", since AI-generated responses were generally better received. By improving short-term interactions, they could get better results on the long term.

I am as skeptical of psychotherapists as can be (also skeptical of AI and about skepticism), and I'm willing to believe that AI can do better -- if only because this is the nature of statistical aggregates. But this isn't enough to show anything, unless you just enjoy your confirmation bias.
