Yes, exactly. And the grant process, albeit through no cure no pay orgs, is quite good.

If you want you can email me (see Hn profile); I moved from NL to the south so maybe I can help.

The problem with taxes and capital and incorporation is that usually fixing it beforehand is easy while after you start to make money, you are perhaps too late. We went for London because not as litigious, light on paperwork, cheap to incor

Yeah, I was going to say; any construction deaths are frontpage news here. 6500 for a country the size of a shoe is insane, directly related to the the worldcup or not.

London could work depending on your business. Hope you involved an international tax lawyer; there can be a lot of issues with the German taxes in this setup if you did not do this carefully.

But most people don’t want that info; most people want to be entertained, every second of the day. And for that tik tok now wins until the next, even shorter attention span thing pops. Twitter started that by artificially limiting input of

When cloud computing started, our banking clients said ‘never’ to the cloud. Now it is fairly normal depending on the region. In some countries in Asia and the Middle East, it is not allowed yet.

We host all wp ourselves; it’s so simple these days. I have a script which just gets into ssh and runs docker compose and dumps all the passwords. Takes seconds and currently we host around 20 wps which makes the cost per wp 0.05$ per month

Thanks for making this. I find postman deteriorating rapidly for years in their quest to make money.

Yeah, I had the same Jikes feel when I thought I would try work for a company for once for a bit than start my own; they said ‘we normally conduct 7 interviews over a 3 week period’. So that was it for my experiment working somewhere for no

> It's far better for people to simply be occupied than fight back You are joking I hope? Have you lived or been born in an occupied territory or perhaps forgot to read some history? You can argue about every single incursion by the

Indeed; I think people take things too seriously. If you are a software engineer you make enough money and are enough in demand to just try it. Move back if you don't like it.

E-ink works fine in sunlight and are fast enough for my needs but yes, RLCDs seem nice but they seem to have never caught on. I even wanted to get that pixel qi tablet back in the day but nothing ever went anywhere. This [0] one looks far m

I pick my own treatment and medicine already for 20 years; it is not hard. If you have something you are unsure about, ask your gp for a specialist visit (that is what they do as well); otherwise, tell your doctor what to prescribe. Since 1

Maybe someone can make an eInk and rlcd assembly for the frame.work laptop; seems to be a nice niche market.

by tluyben2 5y ago
Maybe a surface 10inch with rlcd or eInk would work well indeed. I do need some type of attachable keyboard though that is also the screen protector. It is fairly annoying as some tablets have to bring all kinds of crap with you to make pro

I had a pocket 1 as daily driver from gpd and it was great but they dropped support and the pocket 2 I really do not like. I have a few others of them but they miss the wow factor of the pocket 1. And no eInk indeed.

With i3 it works well. I agree that with a windows like environment it is a bit annoying.

I find the Boox display fast enough to work on, it is just cumbersome to having to set it up on a stand and connecting up to it; takes up a table in a bar instead of just a little laptop like you suggest.

For working in sunlight or very bright days; my daily driver in winter is an x220 and it is perfect but in spring, summer, autumn, I simply cannot see anything so I switch to my MacBook m1 which, at full brightness, still is not good alread

I would!! I like to sit outside and write code, but where I live it is too bright. Even in the shade with brightness full on, I cannot see anything. So beginning this with YES, send me one! You seem to have my goals mostly for the perfect l

Yes, but that makes it a pretty elitist thing no? Maybe elitist is the wrong word (not a native english speaker), but I mean; I would be able to always make the test fail for the computer if I am the interrogator because because. I cannot s

I do think some known weaknesses do make it problematic though; some intelligent behaviour might be not human; aka maybe the player is a generally super intelligent computer but it’s answers are so out there the other players do not recogni

I think we are very far off achieving it as well. But I do feel goalposts were moved and continuing that might be a way we will achieve it without noticing; like alien intelligence, we might create something we don’t recognise as general wh

> then they were simply wrong. Sure, point is that every definition we come up with gets beaten and then we were wrong with that definition in the first place; defining what agi means seems hard.

If you need HA databases and something like s3. If you can just run docker compose and have it all running on a $1/mo vps, I am happy to pocket my extra profit thank you very much.

> have nothing to show for it in terms of something resembling human-level intelligence We keep moving the goal post; a common theme was when I studied ML in uni in the AI winter of the 90s, that beating Go surely would mean human level

by tluyben2 5y ago
Yep, same here. And people are also not very good at listening; even if you are focusing only to type, people miss stuff and I have to repeat or explain in another way while I could have typed things 100x myself in that time. I think I’ll g

Exactly. And what I find far far worse is that this is bleeding into startups. I did not express myself too clear above; I don't consult for one client (I used gig, not gigs which I cannot edit anymore); it's different clients eve
