You could also solve this with competition. If there were 10 ISPs it would be disadvantageous to give your customers reasons to leave you. Why aren’t there more ISPs? Maybe too many regulations. It is trivial to lay cable, except of course all the permits.

I could give companies a pass for features that require continuous maintenance from them, like remote unlock (properly secured servers). But there was a car company that tried to sell you your own seat warmers, which definitely crosses my barrier.

I work at a startup that uses similar technology to make large-scale 3D models, but using your own dataset https://www.one3d.ai. You can check a demo here https://app.one3d.ai/twins/9763/?invcode=7asheX17, but the surprising thing is that they have pretty good quality without close-up aerial photography. We need drones to take photos, but a doubt they used anything closer than a plane.

I wonder if Google's photogrammetry Kaggle competitions are related to this https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/image-matching-challenge...

I’m sure it looks incredible from your point of view. But take a peak from my perspective:

1) someone writes something about lions (100% chance to happen, because someone is writing something all the time)

2) someone else quotes a popular book from a renowned author about the topic - nothing out of the ordinary

3) you, one of the thousands of readers of the quote mentioned above, started reading the same popular book today.

Also, the first two happen across hundreds of posts daily on hacker news. Statistically it is not that exceptional.

It still freaks me out whenever something similar happens to me :)

Yes, but this is (one of?) the first pieces of software that plays chess, without being programmed to do so. It picked up the patterns, just like it picked up writing poetry.

I doubt such approach will beat classical purpose-made engines anytime soon, but that’s not the point.

With dynamic dns static IPs are not as critical. Most routers support them natively. What it does is quite simple - every time the router receives a new IP, it updates your dns entry.

Not to mention that most “dynamic” IPs change only while the router is offline and your lease is up. So as long you don’t power it off, it may not change for large intervals of time.

Homebrew 4.0.0 3 years ago

Homebrew’s analytics are now sent both to Google Analytics and our new, self-hosted InfluxDB instance hosted in the EU.

If you had previously set HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS because you didn’t like Google Analytics and/or data being sent to the USA: please consider unsetting this and setting HOMEBREW_NO_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS instead, allowing analytics data to be sent to our new InfluxDB host.

My package manager was reporting my actions to Google and I didn’t even know about that. Great…

I was trying to check if my transaction went through, but then I started to wonder if I should fact check him on his claim that he didn’t have 80k usd to evade prison sentence.

But to answer your question - years of work for such a widely used project should be compensated more in my opinion. An engineer at google with similar skill will make 2-5x, maybe 10x as much.

Andrej Karpathy's "Neural Networks: From Zero to Hero". https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html

Just watch the first lecture and you won't be able to not watch the rest. It starts with making your own autograd engine in 100 lines of python, similar to PyTorch and then builds up to a GPT network. He's one of the best in the field, founder of OpenAI, then Director of AI at Tesla. Nothing like the scam tutorials that just copy-paste random code from the internet.
