Look at the kid in a costume. The shoulders of ChatGPT’s output are just wrong. Sure, the kid looks prettier, stronger with a wider upper body, closer to society’s ideal of a child. But it’s not him. If you put that child in a suit, he’d st

The Norwegian PM said to Britain back then “don’t repeat our mistake. We need to, in practice, follow all the EU’s rules and don’t get any say in it”

Realtime stuff. Audio, video etc, games. Apps with a large user library (like the Photos app) that should work offline.

Work that doesn’t have a personal brand involved is basically dead. Arbitrary voice acting? Dead. It’s brutal for these people. The creative industry was always hard, but this is just plain brutal.

- Use the python Library stem to control the Tor daemon and send sighup commands when necessary - yt dlp has builtin support for tor - write the retry logic using your favourite coding AI - spin up a cheap cloud instance and let it run

Use Tor to proxy. Every time you get a connection error, send a SIGHUP to the Tor daemon, which will tell the Tor daemon to establish a new connection, thereby giving you a new IP. You may not get as good results as a residential proxy, but

If you want to distribute mobile apps and reach all users - something that is required for any kind or collaborative app - you MUST support iPhone in the western world. In fact, it’s often iPhone first, Android second. And on the iPhone, yo

There’s still friction, it simply moved to another stage, and as such, people will need new learning and feedback mechanisms to understand what did/didn’t work.

I think you’re mistaking my comment as an endorsement of his opinions. I’m coming from a different angle. I grew up in Germany, and we banned any Nazi content - rightfully so! - to make sure that shit isn’t spread again. But the political l

Rails no longer wraps CSS or JS. And it can benefit from ORMs, because it means less tokens. The biggest advantage of Rails is convention over configuration. Standardisation means AI is trained on lots of standardised codebases. So that sti

I read the original post DHH links to. I don’t think it warrants the kind of hate he gets. DHH has always been very outspoken in his opinions. That’s why he bashed Heroku so badly when he introduced Kamal. It’s what makes Rails such a clear

May I ask where in Germany you live? It’s a fairly diverse country and your location would help for context.

There was a local-first conv just a few weeks ago in Berlin; if you're not yet part of that community I suggest reaching out. https://www.localfirst.fm/ for example, or https://lofi.so/

But then the solution is to just ignore these musicians. But if you do find that they made something valuable that you can’t find elsewhere, then you should compensate them for that. Because yes, it is a lot of work.

AWS / GCP can invoice with EU reverse charge so I don’t even pay VAT. With Hetzner I have to claim it back at the end of the year. Hetzner is just way cheaper and pricing is more predictable. I don’t need any advanced cloud offerings.

But if you take the same perspective as a VC: 95% of your bets can fail if the other 5% are spectacular. He made spectacular bets with Instagram and WhatsApp. Most CEOs don’t make spectacular bets because their business doesn’t allow it, me

I really wanted to downvote this because I hate the constant EU bashing, but I just have to agree. So we can’t see the stars from Munich anymore? Yes, that’s depressing, but we’re not trying to reduce light smog in Munich right now, are we?

I have a 2021 Skoda Octavia and boy do I have to touch the screen a lot. Yes, you can open the AC screen by tapping the AC button but then you still need use the touch screen for any actual AC adjustments. It’s a joke that that’s legal. Loo

If the embedding isn’t smaller than the input, how is it compressing information? It might lose information in its mapping to the embedding space, but in my understanding, the definition of compression means it has to use less bits than the

Took me a short time to understand what you mean with "autoencoders on steroids", but I believe you mean they are autoencoders with an inverse bottleneck - an intermediate representation that isn't smaller, but that's mu

I lived in Stockholm for seven years. One of the biggest mistakes was not buying a boat. They‘re not as expensive as people make you believe; you can get a really nice day cruiser for around $10k, which you can sell again for $9k after a fe
