In all honesty, Mastodon feels like a bigger echo chamber than Twitter. At least for me.
The people on the server are somehow all like minded people. There is rarely any disagreeing going on. The missing exposure to diverse perspective makes mastodon boring to me, and is the reason why I stopped using it.
Maybe I used it wrong ¯\(°_°)/¯
The current handling is what I’d like to call a Selbstverständlichkeit.
I actually say „Herr/Frau Professor Doktor Agolio“ irl when I want something from that person.
JSON5 makers apparently didn’t even know about prototype pollution until this week.
I thought about doing this when I was a teen. :)
My Audi has a knob which I can rotate in order to navigate through the menus without taking my eyes off the street. It also has a touch screen, but I only use it when standing still.
internal developments that match (maybe exceed) GPT3
Had a funny google prompt today which echoed wrong results by their ML model: https://www.google.com/search?q=single%20neighbor%20country
:D
It’s easier to train on all github repos if you own github. There is no real alternative to codex.
Stuff like GPT3 is trying to be recreated, but even the eleuther AI guys only collected like 800GB training data, which is much less than what OpenAI has (iirc around 45TB). And apparently their data is very high quality. EleutherAI is pretty much one of the few big model open source competitors with GPT-Neox etc.
Plus openai has great branding.
Or maybe they write on an iphone. I had to turn auto capitalization off because it would capitalize emoticons after a full stop: turning xD into Xd
They have, but it’s just not interesting. Similar to how the p2p scene doesn’t give a damn about software DRM.
Regarding WV: There is actually lots of open source software and even some discords where WV keys are being shared. FFMPEG is capable of decrypting it, so all you need as ffmpeg inputs is the netflix stream and a key and then dump it to disk.
Regarding pita DRM: the scene is the only capable group who still supply clean patches for modern DRM in games and applications. (Like denuvo)
Clean in the sense that they don’t just install a hypervisor and hook everything for big performance penalties, but actually patch the binary to remove the checks through static analysis. 3DM is the last p2p group I know which done that, but that was half a decade ago. I don’t think there are currently any p2p groups which take a look at this, because it’s just not interesting (effort vs reward) for them.
You must be on some garbage trackers if you're getting away with multiple accounts
Idk, I just always cheated when I was close to coming to my DL limit.
Javabeans give me nightmares too
Would be interesting to know how his BTC were stolen. Because he is a BTC core developer, I believe he followed the best practices, like not writing down his password. So infection or keylogger?
Isn’t a recession necessary to curb inflation? Powell said that economy needs to cool down:
When rates are hiked, a home with a mortgage, using credit cards or seeking loans to start a business become much more expensive. That results in people stopping purchasing homes, cut down on spending, think twice about starting a business. In addition to that companies will lay off workers and enact hiring freezes.
Everyone says it, the signs are obvious, and people here still think we won’t land in a recession.
Kinda feels similar to the irrationality of tesla investors, where everyone knew that the company is overvalued and needs to come down. Yet people continued buying or didn’t want to sell. Why? I would like to know.
I used this in firefox on ios and the zooming bugs are awful: https://streamable.com/qnxz2z
Braingenious is not doing a pitchfork campaign but is actually right: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/twitter-buyout-loans-get-bid-at-...
Morgan Stanley has tried to sell some of their twitter shares for sixty cents on the dollar a few weeks ago.
What results does have it to echo in order to not be mediocre for you?
To me it seems like it’s the same anti-globalization thing that’s going on everywhere. Suddenly no one wants to have any dependency on anyone. Everyone sees possible levers which others could use against you if you import from them. Everybody wants to be self sufficient now.
Really a strong mind shift across society and I don’t like it.
If my company only reaches break even every year, it only takes one bad year and I’m bankrupt. Profits are important for every company.
One bad crop (which could be because of no fault of your own) can mean financial ruin.
You can hedge crop in many ways. Give Terry Duffy a call.
I found lightning worse than USB-C. So far none of my USB-C cables broke, however I already broke one lighting cable and my current one is only charging from one side. I sometimes plug it in with the wrong side up, and it doesn’t charge my phone. Then I have to plug it out, turn it by 180 degrees and plug it in again.
Anyway, these issues could be user issues or bad luck (so please don’t comment on this), but I have one nitpick which isn’t:
USB 2.0 speeds for pro-res footage are a joke. Why even praise your camera and the pro resolution format being introduced on iphone, when I can’t get it off my PC via cable vat decent speeds? I only used it once to make for a side project, and had ~30min of footage. Took about 1.5h to copy.
I only tested insta, which worked fine for me.
Also, it looks like you can trash my post above, Graham got suspended. I really did not expect this.
banning of links to Mastodon
I’d like to point out that this is what everyone says is happening, but actually that’s not what’s happening.
Twitter allows linking to other social networks as long as that’s not the only thing you do. Twitter is suspending accounts which were made sorely for linking to another network. (The mastodon account was only used for promoting mastodon’s alternative social network).
Here is a thread by twitter which explains the policy: https://twitter.com/twittersupport/status/160453126541959168...
This FUD is almost on crypto twitter levels, and this is very behavior is very unusual for HN.
(I don’t mean you specifically, a lot of people and even major news outlets got this wrong)
Next.js API DX is horrible compared to actual API frameworks like fastify. :/
I wish I could love Next’s API routes as much as the rest of the framework.
He was kinda forced to buy twitter in the end. He made a bid, but then the marketed turned red, and then didn’t want to buy it anymore. Now he is stuck with a company which generates less earnings than the interest costs from the buyout credits.
That’s also why he is even firing the kitchen staff and selling their kitchen appliances. He is so desperate for money to keep this company from bankrup.
Which is also probably the reason why he plays with QAnon stuff. I think he is speculating on someone to take twitter away from him. Maybe.
While Zod is hyped by Next.ja developers (I think mostly because Theo Brown has such a huge reach), I think Ajv is better, because it lets you generate OpenAPI documentation and it fully json schema compliant.
I really like nextjs for its opinions on the frontend part, but it is lacking these strong, but great opinions on the backend. Wish love to see some design decisions from fastify adopted here. Matteo did really do some great stuff.
Madoff got 150 years in prison, and i dont see any reason why SBF would get any less.
I actually see one: SBF mostly mishandled unregulated magic beans on an unregulated exchange (FTX.com).
The unregulated magic beans on the regulated exchange FTX.US are still there, waiting for withdrawal, according to his tweets.
US customers weren’t even allowed to register on FTX.com, which was outside the US.
Anyway, he still kinda defrauded Sequoia and friends, who didn’t buy magic beans but actual shares of the FTX exchanges (not sure about whether .com, .us or both)! But maybe he still gets less than 150 years..
Since the numbers are bad (BTC having smaller market cap than Tesla) I believe them.
What I’ve been missing in tauri is being able to manipulate the window title bar similar to firefox or vscode (electron actually allows this).
Anyway, regarding your IPC bottleneck: I found it faster to spawn a local websocket server in rust and let my vue app connect to it. It’s really ugly and I hate myself for working like this, but albeit the tcp overhead it is actually faster for transferring bigger amounts of data than IPC.
