This. Few people here would remember ebooksclub/gigapedia/smiley/library.nu [1] which predated LibGen by several years. But that online library had a lot of books that are not availble nowadays. There were lots of scanned

Shit... I was just looking at the DeepSeekMoE paper, almost exactly from 1 year ago: https://arxiv.org/html/2401.06066v1 The red star in the first chart is so funny.

It is so exciting to see that we are once again in a position where hardware is the main bottleneck for new Computing/Software technologies. I remember back in late 80s (I was a kid) when we had MSDOS and Windows was just starting. We

Thanks for this. As someone who is not from the US nor for China, I am getting so tired of this narrative of how bad DeepSeek is because it sensors X or Y things. The reality is that all internet services censor something, it is just a mat

So, I'm not American and have just seen all the Trump circus from afar in the las 10 years. But... hasn't Donald Trump ready been impeached, trialed, found guilty of several crimes, several times with total impunity? Like, at.this

I hold both of them high enough. As Aaron, I did my good share of book/articles piracy, even before it was online (here in Mexico it was veery common to Xerox and share whole books with students in the 80s and 90s). I understand, Aa

I hate these type of exchanges that are happening more and more in HN. Passive aggressive comments and replies from both sides of an argument. The "take comments meanings at their best value " keeps being eroded. And comments se

Second this. I used to log large apps using kibana and elastic search. Also using the clusterfuck that are all AWS tries at this (cloud watch, log insights.amd whatnot). Nothing compares to what DD give you in observability. Having said th

There was this fad of multiphasic sleep in the early 2000. I remember, in theory you could do sleeping for 15 minutes 6 times in 24 hours.

So, there is this meme going around in Mexico about a previous president who in an interview said "we will land in about 1 minute, no, less about 5" Does this proves he is not an intelligent being? Is he stupid? This he had a l

I am wondering where the "generalize code after doing it for the 3rd time" rule of thumb comes from? I also subscribe to it, and read it somewhere 15/20 years ago. Was it the Mythical Man Month book Maybe?

So, the question one has to ask is, why aren't banks and "serious" institutions now behind bitcoin? If it is a scam/fad/etc? The story of Cryptocurrencies reminds me a bit of Linux: "it was a cancer to socie

That's why we went with tooljet at my startup. Open source and "exportable" dashboards, allows us to setup a dev-stage-prod release cycle for our internal tools as well. It's been pretty good so far.
