The story sounds quite impressive. Also the post itself, its writing and visual style, are surprisingly well executed. OP must be working 24/7. So, I don't want to be that guy but every time I had disclosed my secret sauce in the

Even with legal restrictions: just put an Ubuntu server at home and ssh to it. Then you wouldn't have the GBit connection but still better than using Docker on a non-production OS.

OT: How can an ordinary mortal like the most of us play around with GPT-3 and make their own experiences?

FWIW, I never run docker on my local machine (I develop on a remote machine), benefits: remote machine os + setup is very close to production and GBit bandwidth up and down at my hoster is so much nicer when working with Docker images.

OT: I'm on the fence if I should create an app in an related field in Electron or native macOS. Anyone in a similar situation, how did/would you decide?

OT: I fell into the rabbit hole of designing hardware (something like this). Just don't do it, it's super fun but it doesn't pay off: every SoC is different and you start with every SoC from scratch and waste tons of time. Pr

Congrats, this looks very nice. I played a bit around and headed then to Wikipedia's entry of Forth to learn more about the og language. Please elaborate more about why you did this project and decide for Forth from your perspective.

So great and love to detail (just the subtle smooth flashing when you finished the presentation), great color scheme and the best: just the essentials and no nonsense features.

Wouldn't call it a die off, more a consolidation: reddit got some really good niche communities and if you want to narrow it even further down Discord evolved quite well in this regard (great communities + easy access to multiple group

Does anyone have an educated guess how this compares to current consumer Nvidia GPUs? I was just about to order a maxed-out Nvidia system (ignoring memory for now). Bonus question to anyone from Apple who might read this: Will Apple contrib

Buy a Billy shelf and get it built by TaskRabbit. Is this the reason they bought them?

Super impressive and I love code-golfing but the title is slighlty misleading since the HTML part of the app, the cells, seem not to be included in the 220b. Still great.

I didn't expect people asking how to buy Bitcoins on HN . Just get an account on Kraken, Coinbase, Gemini or wherever and look that you don't keep your coins on the exchange for too long. Start with small amounts. And those nerdy

Am I the only one who thinks Amazon Alexa is overrated? The only three voice features I use are: - Set the timer to 10 minutes (mostly pasta) - Wake me in 1 hour (for a nap) - How is the weather today? That's it and and I don't ha

OT: Just develop on a remote machine with Linux and 100Mbit up and down via SSH. Then Docker flies.

People who hate have either a severe depression or try to get easy attention. Why hating web apps? Every app has their advantages. - Native apps are great and I couldn't imagine how Sketch, Snapchat, etc. could be done as a web app - W

The title and idea are great, the post itself not so. However, one part of my 'not to-do list' ist my /etc/hosts file. All the worst time wasters go there and redirect to 0.0.0.0.

Nice post and great that somebody did this with Elixir. Another way to get into the Bitcoin Blockchain is just to use this API with simple API end points: https://blockchain.info/api There check the Blockhain Data API which

Slightly OT: Which distribution (for being a Docker host) has the best unattended security updates incl. reboots? Requirements: - Quick to setup, best would be a one-liner and not something I have to google everytime - Update and reboot tim

Question to VCs on HN: Is AI declining? Not that it is dying down but my feeling is that the general investment activity in AI slowed down but maybe I am wrong. 1. Do you get still that much AI deals in your inbox? 2. Do you close this quar

Today I read that The Pirate Bay tested this new form of monetization (running a miner in you browser). I thought that might solve website monetization finally. We still have to figure out stuff like battery draining on mobile but it is the

Really? Maybe I should get an old model as well, the build quality then was unmatched.

I can understand your preference for the X201 (r/thinkpad is full of folks like you and my first Thinkpad was a X20 or so) but the screen resolution would kill me. It's 2017 and text, bash, vim or I mean just anything on a 120dpi

It's the Xiaomi Mi 12.5". It's a great subnotebook, Arch working flawlessly since all parts are from Intel but sometimes I need a bigger screen thinking that 14" of a Thinkpad X1 might be the sweet spot.

I (as a decade long MBP user) still think that Thinkpads nailed notebook design. Since I moved more and more to Arch on a cheap Chinese notebook which seems to replace my MBP for 90% of my tasks I hope to get a Thinkpad with Arch as my next
