What you're missing is that in 1994 the only people who were into these things are the people who would consider this job post a challenge. Nobody went into that part of IT for money back then. People who did went to IBM, Microsoft and

> Why HURD specifically? Because Hurd is (in my understanding) exactly the solution in search of a problem you're talking about. It's microkernel for the sake of being microkernel, but tied to the past (POSIX/UNIX model).

I only hope this and the Reddit slowmo-trainwreck-in-progress sensitivise more people about the value of the data they contribute and how it is appropriated by the platforms.

Hey HN! As a (paying) ChatGPT user I was surprised to find that there were no convenient way to add an LLM-powered chatbot (GPT or otherwise) to Slack (chat platform I use most often), so I wrote one. Geppetto currently uses gpt-3.5-turbo m

There is a lot of potential for aspiring photographers in creating (and licensing) photo libraries for the specific purpose of AI training. Where previously you'd take 100 photos to choose the perfect one, now you'd include all of

I'm not sure if it's cheaper when you compare the whole machine price, not just GPU, since you can't buy piecewise with the Mac.

I don't know if that misread is intentional or not, so I'm going to assume the best: U in UBI is universal. Everyone gets it, not just those who need. You get $X/mo! That homeless guy on the corner gets $X/mo! Jeff Bezo

I sometimes feel the same. Then I have to deal with Homebrew, Docker or macOS equivalents of coreutils, and I'm happy to go back to my Linux-powered Thinkpad, thankyouverymuch.

As someone who's lived in a communist country, no, that had nothing to do with UBI. The related communist motto is "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs"[0]. Basically, you have to work to th

Any serious UBI study would look at entire population of a town/county/region, not thirty people. This is beyond useless.

XML is absolutely not easily parsed, if you want to do it correctly. Unless you mean to say you can easily parse XML if you're using an XML parser library, in which case you can just as easily parse any other language using its parse
