Whatever it is, it sure sounds creepy.

I reckon you need tacit knowledge. Experience. Luckily in the order of 100 hours not 10000. Build a GPT using Python and Pytorch. For a good course: Andrej Karpathy is your keyword…

My favourite “well actually” on HN. As a reluctant DIYer, thanks!

I think you are close to the truth there. But I doubt companies purposely increase their hosting costs as some kind of firewall to only include the rich. More like they just don’t …

That is one performance metric. What about energy use and loading search results not just the home page. I find DDG faster from a perception point of view. I imagine on sone metric…

Reddit for me is the slowest site. And while old.reddit fixes this they try to steer you back to main reddit at any opportunity!

If all the sites tot more efficient it may also increase longevity of laptops and PCs where unsavvy people might just “need a new computer it is getting slow”. Also applies to bloa…

Been to a young colleague funeral too I know that is hard, my condolences.

Start ups will always be there whether you want to be the founder or employee 1 or whatever.

So is it right, to make docker reproducible it needs to either build dependencies from source from say a git hash or use other package managers that are reproducible or rely on bas…

Is this about timestamps or is there more to it?

The way I read a watch ignores the numbers anyway (arabic or roman) and I know where 9 is etc. if the device is upside down it is evident and I don’t even try to read it, I right t…

Mass media might mean large traditional TV, Movie and Newspaper organisations but I take it to mean also Google, Meta, X, Netflix, Reddit and so on. Your other points I agree with.…

There is no best one. You will unfortunately (!) need to do some legwork to decide what you want to build, what you need, what tech you want to use and why, and see if there is a s…

The anecdote doesn’t sound too bad: > During five weeks of job hunting, Croisant said she applied to 48 openings and landed two interviews. She finally opted to accept a lower-leve…

They raised $2M on the original idea this pivoted off which is insane. https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/30/stashpad-is-a-notepad-for-...

I suggest a title update to “The J. Paul Getty Museum …” to the OP if they read this

I am eyeing up Hyundai Ioniq 5/6. Any comments. Irony is keeping the dumb old Toyota is cheaper even with the crazy tax breaks in Australia! I could hand over $10k to carbon offset…

Damn why didn’t I think of that! Well done. And I wonder if in memory spreadsheets are similar to (and as efficient as) Pytorch Tensors anyway!
