This isn't about a parasocial relationship with Krebs at all, but determining how he'll avoid the situation again going forward. > So like, what do you want? I think I've been pretty clear, basically an acknowledgement of

An accurate but pretty lacklustre "mea culpa" and retraction. I don't mind people making mistakes, everyone does, but seeing how Krebs has handled this whole episode has not inspired optimism in how he'll handle future m

That's a really good idea than finding another HD to install. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I can return with error logs later, but essentially when doing the `conda create env -f environment.yaml` line it would error out partway through. It would download dependencies for a few minutes then fail on one. I

The only issue I had was WSL 2 was not using my GPU, so obviously it failed. Couldn't get it working on Windows either, failed at installing dependencies. I'm thinking of dual-booting Linux just to try out stable-diffusion. I nor

What might an open source db look like? It should be publicly readable and forkable at any time, but write access still would be restricted to maintainers. Honestly being able to store your data in git (if it's simple enough) would b

Isn't the problem here the wireless/laser delivery? How much could you transfer? Also your design sounds suspiciously like a GDI Ion Canon from Command and Conquer[0]. Imagine having dual-use concerns like we do with nuclear pow

You missed the point. Many businesses only need revenue (or EBITDA) to exceed expenses and you're profitable. Once you take VC money, you must exceed profitability and provide a return on VC money. Not all businesses must make a ret

Have you used Next.js much? Next was the first (and so far, only) SSG I enjoyed using in the JS world. Just wondering if you have any comparisons. Markdown generation in Next was also a breeze.

I'm a big fan of Frankfurt's "On Bullshit", and love the reference. I think there's one significant distinction between a normal human bullshitter that Frankfurt originally envisioned, and the AI practicing Artifici

Keep a pool of eg 5 pods that are warm and good to go. When a user needs one, the pod pulls in necessary config data which should be quick as it's already initialized.

In a recently reported issue with an Apple Car almost running over a pedestrian, someone on HN asked why can't we simply add the code: if (personInFrontOfCar) { halt(); } The reason, of course, is the self-driving algorithms a

You're arguing against something that wasn't said. They said the "title of Dictator" was used, and that is correct, it was used in Roman history as they said. The Roman title of Dictator is different from a modern day d

Truly, and hopefully this leads to change. But this is also a consequence of Canada's lack of competition with ISPs.

It's hard to understate the impact of this across all of Canada. As someone who uses Apple Pay for almost every transaction, this underlines the fragility of a "cashless society." Also, around half my team are unable to effe

Yes, essentially communication is a tool and any tool in a multiplayer game will be abused. Without playing any multiplayer Hearthstone, I can guarantee that some people would use "Well Played" after a mistake to insult players.

Consider the flu vaccine. This is one of the most widely used vaccines, and it only lasts for about a year. My understanding is it's due to the rate at which the virus mutates, as you allude. Essentially the flu is different every y
