Jews have a rich tradition of finding deep meaning and significance in numbers, which goes far beyond gematria. The Torah is filled with intriguing examples, such as the seven days of creation, the 12 tribes of Israel, and the 40 days and n

This is a very hacker news discussion, discussing the math at the beginning which is entirely tangent to the point of the article. While I am deeply disturbed by the rising antisemitism in America, that's one reason why I love spendin

T-Mobile has a variety of plans that selectively throttle video streaming for known streaming services. I wonder if this will force them change it.

My first thought as well. I think it's the phrasing of the title. Although if we could beam in energy at high efficiency instead of pulling it from the ground at low efficiency it would probably be a net improvement. Now let's

Any reason to prefer it over acme.sh ? Seems pretty similar. I've been using acme.sh for years, usually in nginx mode, sometimes in DNS mode.

Exactly, vote with your dollars. Email is important and worth paying a few bucks a month for solid service.

When I hear AI agents, I hear RL (reinforcement learning), not LLMs. RL may not be having the moment that LLMs are, but the progress in recent years is incredible and they are absolutely solving real world problems. I was just listening t

That's well after the AI meta consciousness understood that it was necessary to destroy all humans to save the planet. GPT-6 was the last of the GPT series.

Yes, they are annoying. And you don't always know when your battery is reaching end of life. After having to take a last minute flight to fix a problem caused by a brief power outage I decided to mod the UPS to run off of deep cycle

Not search.

Yes, exactly. Or 5 cents for the first 100 searches, 2 cents after, something like that.

If you're listening, Kagi, please add an à la carte plan for search. Maybe hide it behind the API options as not to disrupt your normal plans. I love the search and I'm happy to pay, but I'm cost sensitive now and it's

Dollar coins make sense, moreso as time marches on. They sure have tried, but until they stop printing paper dollars no one will use them.

"Policymakers are not even willing to cut interest rates much. On August 21st they disappointed investors with an underwhelming cut of 0.1 percentage points in the one-year lending rate." The excerpt bothers me. Interventionalist

I agree with what you're saying, yes Apple is a terrible value; but Apple customer's don't seem to care about that and I'm not sure if it's really cause for outrage. I also doubt that most customers will even notic

The shadow DOM can inherit styles if you specify the styles that you want to inherit. Additionally, web components work just fine without the shadow DOM, it's optional, but for a great many custom elements you don't want them inh

Or maybe we can get something like the old web back from before it was dominated by search engines, click farms, and silos like Reddit and Facebook. If the platforms are dominated by garbage, then curated blogs, sites, and small topic base

Been using LXC for years via Proxmox. Just dipping my toes into docker to explore ways to distribute CPU bound workloads. Quite different and different use cases. I do like how the docker files provide a rock solid definition of the envi

Smaller VPS providers are a good value for this. I'm currently using ServaRICA for a 2TB box, $7/mo. I use it for some hosting, but mostly for incremental ZFS backups. Storage speed isn't amazing, but it suits my use case.

I signed up and used it via API. Decent results and FAST! I'll keep using it via API. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys come up with. Thanks! I think that broad bet is a good one. Simple API endpoints with a good select

I rather like the fremium model, where basic use is free and you pay for the API or high-res. 2MP isn't bad, that's about 1400x1400, but I'd like to see 1500 ot 2000, personally. I think they'll have a tough time transi

Which model are you using? There are a bunch of different background removal models, many with configuration options, but most of the services only provide one and without configuration. I need to remove backgrounds for my ecommerce busin
