Notably absent from the page is whether the account/org wide "Help improve our models" toggle has any impact.

In Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan referenced some survey from the 80s in which one of the findings was that ~20% of Americans agreed to the statement "the sun is alive." In trying to find that survey for this comment I instead found th

A few times I've contacted people who posted an interesting Show HN and it often led to interesting conversations. I've also found multiple roles through "Who's Hiring" threads over the years, and those all became i

I'm honestly surprised how controversial this sub thread became. To put it to rest -- this is indeed correct. I commented on the roof rule but didn't link to the code of conduct because doing so didn't really seem to add anyt

I like the definition of social rules [0]. I also wonder whether the roof rule was written preemptively or retrospectively -- I hope the former. I have my own thanks to give to HN. It's connected me to interesting people, online and IR

I love it. For years with my old dog I would give him a binary choice between two treats and intuitively got a sense of his favorites as well. More satisfying to me was giving him the choice, which (maybe I'm over personifying him) I t

A friendly reminder to any Claude subscribers, that you were probably auto-opted-in to "Extra Usage". You can disable it on the "Usage" page [0] before getting a bill for "extra" usage. 0: https://cl

Disappointing. I built a lovely little Nanoclaw bot that's been surprisingly helpful at raising a puppy. I haven't gotten this email, so I wonder if my usage is too low to catch their first pass. If they shut it down though, the f

I set one up to have a shared chat with my partner about our dog. E.g. schedule reminders, tracking food in a spreadsheet, etc.

I share this worry. You can configure the storage template for the photos and include an "album" part, so if a photo is in some album it'll get sorted into that folder. Then the file tree on disk is as you wish. I haven'

Ente looks interesting and worth looking into, thanks for mentioning it. In the context of having a phone stolen, it's possible to at least limit the damage and revoke accesses via the Tailscale control server. Then the files on device

Very nice the author uses tailscale serve! It's an underrated, and unfortunately under documented, way to host a web service directly to Tailscale. With that you can run a docker compose stack with one extra tailscale container, and th

Also it has a very rich ACL system. The Immich node can be locked out from accessing any other node in the network, but other nodes can be allowed to access it.

The sync really is quite good. On wifi it's basically seamless. If I had 30k new images though it would be much faster to use the immich-go tool mentioned in the blog post. Offline support is alright, though I haven't worried abou

I have the main volume for images in a zpool with two SSDs in a raid-1 configuration. I also have a daily cronjob that makes an encrypted off-site backup with Borg. I've also got healthchecks.io jobs setup so that if the zpool becomes

I think it's of course not so simple, and the abstract of the paper they refer to [0] seems to contradict the Business Insider article. Sure, inflation adjusted median income is up slightly. In addition to this educational costs have e

I've used probably 15 or 20 web browsers in my lifetime and all of them had the same barely searchable table of URLs as their only history view. Why couldn't we have full text search of the pages, or a view that reflects tab histo

I think it's about improving the turnaround on planes. When a plane lands, the crew has to get everyone out, clean the cabin, then get the next flight's passengers in -- all as quickly as possible. The shorter this turnaround, the

I can imagine the large scale web scrapers just avoid processing comments entirely, so while they may unzip the bomb it could be they just discard the chunks that are inside of a comment. The same trick could be applied to other elements in

I have a memorable reverse geocoding story. I was working with a team that was wrapping up a period of many different projects (including a reverse geocoding service) and adopting one major system to design and maintain. The handover was se

Depressing politics aside, I'm curious about how this affects the long term usability of the telescope. I guess as long as the orbit is sustained and it doesn't suffer physical damage, it would still be basically operable for it&#

Silent Movie (1976). https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0075222/ Very much a comedy of the 70s rather than an earnest silent film from the 20s/30s. It's a silent movie about making a silent movie -- in my opinio

I did hundreds of interviews for a former employer (10k+ employees) and developed a fondness for in-person coding interviews. In particular I would tell the candidate up front that the goal of the exercise is to see how they collaborate on

Years ago my tax return was flagged as a possible fraud case -- I believe a direct consequence of a big data breach. I had to go into my "local" IRS office and present my passport to prove indeed it was me. Decidedly not nice. Tru

Entirely possible. I did not try to test systematically or quantitatively, but it's been a recurring easy "demo" case I've used with releases since 3.5-turbo. The super verbose chain-of-reasoning that o1 does seems very

I thought with this chain-of-thought approach the model might be better suited to solve a logic puzzle, e.g. ZebraPuzzles [0]. It produced a ton of "reasoning" tokens but hallucinated more than half of the solution with names&#x2F

The analogy also works in the opposite direction. If a gas station is selling at $4.10 a gallon and another down the street is selling at $4.15, the first gas station could happily up their price to $4.14. 1% more revenue and they're s

It's an excellent book and I agree with many of the comments -- while it's written for Rust, the vast majority of it is applicable to many languages. It's amazing to see the book published on their website for free (though I
