Similar, but slightly different story for me. I ended up buying it as an enthusiast ‘Apple-grade’ product where UX was there to do something I would be able to do on my own. Then t…

A problem I had with CityMapper is that at the time I last used it, it used the distance units of the city you’re in, with no ability to change it. For example, if you’re in New Yo…

Turkish also retains the hard C in some forms, the city of Kayseri in Asia Minor is also from Caesarea. However some of that has been eradicated by the more recent influence of Fre…

I’m the maintainer of this project. While it is good to see it posted here, I should note that Aether is on a hiatus for now. I might eventually get back to it, and I’ve been worki…

Nothing. It's technology for the love of it. I'm sure there are potential uses but training your own LLM would probably be more meaningfully useful versus running someone else's tr…

I'm following the instructions on the post from the original owner of the repository involved here. It's at https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/llama-7b-m2 and it is much simpler. (…

IIRC Based on the latest numbers 70+% of Turks do hold their savings in foreign currency. So it’s accessible and widely used. It’s probably one of the reasons Turkey is weathering …

This is through USBC which also charges the laptop.

I have a 32Gb M1 Pro as a work laptop and connecting a retina 4K external display is not a fun experience for me either. It was very surprising to see it fail to maintain 60fps in …

‘ One of Phantom’s bestsellers is a repeater crackling palm break called “Shaggadelic Mojo,” whose flower-strewn box also features a lava lamp, a beaded curtain and a disco ball. I…

While optical Thunderbolt cables do exist, they are a niche product. Most Thunderbolt cables in existence is comprised of good old metal wires. https://www.corning.com/optical-cabl…

Here’s something better I’ve found to improve on it: you can get a $30 massage gun from Amazon with one of those round soft heads, gently put it to the back of your head where doin…

Same in Turkey, and I presume through most of continental Europe. Most stop signs were removed in late 90s and converted into either implicit yields (i.e. nothing, ‘don’t be stupid…

Just wanted to say this is probably the best launch HN description I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been here for the better part of the decade. Thank you for going into the real meat (ahe…

Zoom does have product merits of its own, for example, I have hearing loss and uniquely sensitive to voice quality — Zoom has by far the best sound quality across all apps I tried.…

I'm very confused, the article says: 'The MTA had good reason to believe the program would succeed. Just a few years prior, it had dropped more than 1,000 Redbird trains in the oce…

Incidentally, to your tips on what you guys are doing to hire, I would add 'posting insightful commentary on Hacker News', ha — likely this post alone has gotten you a couple new i…

Not the author, don't know him, no connection – but I caught a glimpse somewhere on the blog that he is currently unemployed. As an open-source maintainer, I feel like it is my dut…

I've noticed that the court documents issued by civil courts in Turkey have electronic signatures with signed hashes for each of the signatories (judge, clerk and all else) in ever…

I understand, however, consider that being good for patent policies between multinational Fortune 500s does not in any way imply that it is good for anything else. In the case of t…

Hi Kyle, thanks for responding to criticism. I think you might have slightly misunderstood my main objection and comment. Your machinery is all fine and well but it requires negoti…

Ah, my apologies, it wasn't obvious from the second site how to get to the actual paper. I think this is fair to say there are ways that attempt to be objective in defining what is…

FRAND defines fair in a very specific way in terms of pricing. For example the definition of F (fair) in FRAND is exemplified as not requiring purchase of other, unwanted licenses …

I like Mr Mitchell, and I am glad that he is attempting to do something that so many people shy away from for obvious reasons. As a developer of a fairly popular open-source tool (…

Yes, they have the Radeon Open Compute project (ROCM) but they seem to be intent on following the tensorflow from a few stable versions behind. Additionally, and likely this is not…
