If only Firefox on Android had keyboard shortcuts so that tablet + hardware keyboard would be a comfortable way to use Firefox. Argh.

Which do you think is more efficient in terms of CPU resources, user-time, developer-time, money? Both development and the final program taken into account. On average.

Roommates? This discussion is perplexing. Don't you have apartment buildings where you're from? An apartment in a multi-story house is more space efficient than a single-tenant house is what the observation was, unless I'm mi

Thanks for the heads up. I had to provide a passport as well.

6 eur/month. It's the most basic offering. I don't really need power for what I'm doing. Running tests locally took a bit longer than I had been used to, but just a bit. I'm pretty used to underpowered environments

My dev box died (that I used for remote work), and instead of buying something new immediately, I moved my setup to a Hetzner cloud vps. Took around 2 days. Stuff like setting up termux on my tablet and the cli environment on the vps was 90

I'm more surprised by your comment, to be honest.

Excuse the hijack: what are the most powerful language models one can run on any smartphone (without meaningful delay)?

What you said makes a lot of sense. I agree that media is a great tool for opinion control. When you call this a dichotomy between free speech and order, I feel like you're downplaying just how important that "order" can be.

That's an interesting train of thought about incentives. I would have said that everyone has an inherent motivation to understand, but now that I think about it, this motivation goes away when group dynamics or poverty start affecting

Haha, thanks for that.

There's something called information warfare, which basically means manipulating public discourse to further one's political goals. Russia is notoriously good at it, for example. West sucks at it (it has Hollywood at least). These

Do you have arguments, as a previous professional and academic geologist?

Are you implying that US is capital rich because of innovation? I think it is a source of innovation, but I could think of more convincing narratives for why it's rich.

Private or public doesn't really matter as long as the prices are sensible. I recently learned that you can pay as much as 1k dollars a month (not a typo) for regular health insurance in US, whereas I pay ~55 euros a month for mine. Me

How do you use these models? If you don't mind sharing. I use GPT-4 as an alternative to googling, haven't yet found a reason to switch to something else. I'll for example use it to learn about the history, architecture, cult

Not overly complicated, but super difficult to abstract is somewhat of a contradiction. Maybe the inner workings are complicated, but not complicated to implement right once you understand them.

Could a 1m30 trailer of your favorite book be made in a way that conveyed that it's well written? There's style and world building, small aspects of which can be conveyed in small formats, but there's drama composition and si

Ah yes, games with good writing. Difficult to come by. Not sure why. Maybe because you can't put writing on a trailer?

Loosely structured or sandboxy rpgs are viable and my favorite kind actually. Kenshi is a great example. Dwarf fortress and its clones also, though character churn in classic df defocuses individual characters and you always end up role pla

That would be great, but in my case I am getting no connection at all. Hacker News times out.

I happen to have a newly bought T-Mobile prepaid SIM card. It offers limited "high speed data" (4G, 5G, etc) and unlimited "slow speed data" (2G, 3G). Once I ran out of "high speed data", my service was suppose

I'm continually surprised by blatant corruption in first world countries. It's like I expect privilege to translate into integrity.

This resonates. I learned the hard way that you want your main tests to integrate all layers of your system: if the system is an HTTP API, the principal tests should be about using that API. All other tests are secondary and optional: can b

Wasn't aware there's a successor. Screenshots make it seem very similar. Anyone played it?
