I paid for YouTube Premium and still got ads, though fewer. So I cancelled. Are they now offering YT Premium ad free?

Interesting. If you can DM me the username and email associated with the account, I can look into this and get it fixed for her.

I feel like you’re underestimating the power of SV moving fast and breaking things to learn quickly. Your attitude is why we’ve stopped hiring SMEs and PhDs in my underwater space launch / space elevator bio startup.

> Many Americans exist that do not carry the opinion of their government, as do many Russians. I can’t speak for Russia because I have no data, but most Americans don’t carry the opinion of this government.

I would definitely buy an iPad Pro that had regular MacOS on it like a MacBook. Otherwise I have had an iPad for about ten years and it’s been collecting dust for about 9.5 (will sell a cheap iPad 1, DM me!).

This sort of project reminds me of the old internet. I love it.

18f was self funded by billing agencies for cost savings, basically. It was basically free for the gov, and made up of highly technical people, many of whom came from top flight Silicon Valley or SV-adjacent companies. That is to say, neith

For the most part you have exactly the same levers to pull at people in the United States, sans voting in elections, but most Americans don’t even do that, and some specific things that require a physical presence, like protesting at the Wh

If you don’t care because you’re outside the US, you’re a fool. All of this will affect you.

“Bozo” is pretty lightweight for someone actively trying to destroy the foundations of this country’s government and democratic policies.

If the article was compellingly written I guess I would have gotten to it. But the author is a bad writer and uses tricks reminiscent of “read this list, item #9 will shock you!” No thanks. I opened another article someone posted by the sam

Maybe, but I disengaged partway through (right after “I’m not going to bury the lede” and seeing there was a bunch more engagement filler immediately after, burying the lede). I will not read prose written like this.

Texas is just a much better and cheaper option. It retains the upsides of sea launches (being able to select location, being far from people) without the downsides (being out in the water vs landlocked). They can also take advantage of US i

Are you a child between the ages of 3 and 5? Because that's the typical age of a participant in the marshmallow test. This is like scoffing a kid not finding something on Dora the Explorer.

So easy. Should we also remove college attended or extracurriculars to avoid flagging potential demographic details like attending an HBCU?

I am hyper aggressive about cutting monthly services. If I don’t feel I am getting value, or can get the value from somewhere else with a little more work, I cut it. For example I would never, ever pay for YouTube Premium. This has led to a

Setting aside the issue of the public’s PII and PHI in the hands of the most odious individuals, your post is a mischaracterization of what’s going on. They’re not identifying things and creating a report for evaluation; they’re identifying

I have personally found that when the government wants more of your money through taxes, they tend to raise taxes or lower credits or do something to incentivize behavior. They don’t tend to try to confuse people into not knowing what they

GSA houses 18F which created Direct File, which lets people file their taxes for free. This takes money out of the pockets of companies like Intuit, in which my portfolio is heavily invested. Although their stock is up 50% since the introdu

I am very technically inclined and use Ollama (in a VM, but still) because of all the steps and non-obviousness of how to run Llama.cpp. This framing feels a bit like the “Dropbox won’t succeed because rsync is easy” thinking.

by a12k 2y ago
Ollama is sketchy enough that I run it in a VM. Which is odd because it would probably take less effort to just run Llama.cpp directly, but VMs are pretty easy so just went that route. When I see people bring up the sketchiness most of the
