Isn't it sad that we live in a society where you're forced to take medication that doesn't make you feel better personally so you can fulfill other peoples (and your own) expectations? I feel like in a better world you would

The website is down for me, has it been overloaded by the HN crowd?

I also believe I may have some form of ADHD, and I find this self-optimization idea where people start taking drugs to optimize their productivity a bit dangerous. Keep in mind that productivity for your job isn't everything that makes

Wait until you come to Germany and buy a bread at a bakery ;)

Not really. The factory will not produce CPUs GPUs or other high end chips.

I think it's funny, although it does go against the guideline of not editorializing headlines. Changing the title wouldn't really make sense as I believe the whole submission was meant as a joke around the changed title to deceit

Adsense pays you money for showing ads to human visitors, you don't get paid for allowing their crawler.

I mean, technically you can just disallow all robots in your robots.txt and only allow those of which you are aware and you like?

I think we're not on the same page about Jitsi being unreliable. In fact, it has been more reliable for me than Zoom in the past. Maybe due to the fact that I'm running Linux, I don't know, I haven't tried either on Wind

There is a huge difference between requesting data that has already been collected and requesting Zoom/Microsoft/Google to record future data. The latter probably requires some serious intent. And of course, if I would want to be

Yes, I know it's more comfortable that way, but if you have to decide between giving all your data from all your meetings to a random US company and a slight annoyance whenever you do conferences with more than 500(!) participants, the

You can just have a conference call with the 5-10 speakers and use broadcasting software to stream it to the audience, why do they need to be in the conference?

I stand corrected, apparently Uber can now connect you to licensed cab drivers. However, random people can not just drive you somewhere in their car.

Why would it be near impossible to tap? Couldn't you just fly a drone around one of the ground stations and intercept all the communication?

I am very glad that Uber was deemed illegal in Germany from the get go. All these gig-economy startups are running the same scam: Skip on employer costs such as taxes, health insurance and social security payments by not officially employin

Who else would fund basic research that will likely not yield any profits in the near future? Obviously most basic research is funded by governments.

How do these electronic signatures work? Is it PGP? Where does one store the secret (e.g. private key) and how can someone prove that it is really my signature?

Then why do they do it? What is the supposed gain from producing your own parts, when mass produced parts like Shimano are available all over the world? Is it to increase sales of their repair services after the warranty ends?

How does it prevent the thief from riding away? Does it block the pedals using the motor or something?

Swapfiets business model are people who are not willing to do even the simplest maintenance tasks and therefore can not use any cheap or expensive bike longer than a few months. Astonishingly, this seems to be working great in the netherlan

They could have just used off the shelf components (e.g. Shimano) instead of reinventing the wheel.

If you rent a swapfiets for 8 years, you have owned a shitty 100€-bicycle for 8 years for the price of 1920€. I can buy a shitty bike for 100€ every year and still be less than half as expensive than swapfiets. Their business model are peop

Maybe I am mistaken but has the pricing on GPT-4 decreased as well? It used to be 8c/1000token?
206.
by Gasp0de 3y ago
Those GPUs are 1200$ and upwards. This is equivalent to 20,000,000 tokens on GPT-4. I don't think I will ever use this many tokens for my personal use.

For 2500 bucks I can probably pay the person who delivers my daily newspaper to come inside and hang it on the wall for me for at least 10 years.

At least withdraw the initial investment.

American refrigerators are usually as big as a one bedroom apartment in Berlin, so I assume 1000$ isn't too unrealistic for a fridge in the US.

Are AMD cards any use for compute tasks such as machine learning though? I would like to build a gaming PC that I can use for stuff like that as well and I feel like there is no real alternative to CUDA at the moment
