0x008··on The power of achieving flow state in DevEx
For me it is a interesting consequence of our modern ways of communication which is characterized by being always-online and always expecting immediate response that people turn to giving the new name of "flow-state" to what is essentially just "uninterrupted work".

yeah it's an easy way to update firmware on microcontrollers

usually "architects" are just people there to keep the communication rolling and make sure devs or teams don't work in silos all their life.

probably your communication skills were too good for management to passt up the opportunity of promoting you.

The prices there are totally not real. The A100 x 8 is listed for $5, whereas amazon price calculator lists it for $32 per hour...
0x008··on Ask HN: Is everyone becoming a Product Manager these days?
In times like these, when there is so much opportunity and so many use cases are easily recognizable due to the AI hype and so much information going around, anyone can be a product manager. When the tides turn and we enter the next AI winter, lots of these product managers will move on or be cut.

It's very easy to be a product manager in times like these, it's not easy being one where opportunity is rare and hard to find.

0x008··on Why not tell people to “simply” use pyenv, poetry or anaconda
you can use pyenv to have multiple parallel python versions installed and you can choose per virtual environment which version you want to use.
0x008··on Raindrop Chrome extension now reads browser history?
Noticed this also today.

Any information on why this is needed? Do I again need to migrate all my bookmarks?

Any tips for selfhosted alternatives with good extensions?

edit: here is the justification from the author:

> Previously this permission have been opt-in to unlock features like "Save all tabs" and "Saved page indicator". But those features are esential and should be available right away, isn't? That's why I decided to require tabs permission by default. I have received dosens of emails from users complain about not working saved page indicator.

https://help.raindrop.io/changelog/#560 ... still don't feel too comfortable with that. permissions like this should be opt-in. just stating it "should be default" sounds strange to me.

0x008··on Every front-end UI for ChatGPT
The API access is not a subscription, it’s pay as you go.
0x008··on Every front-end UI for ChatGPT
Also note if you pay by token for GPT3.5 it is (in my experience at least) a lot cheaper than the subscription ($0.64/day but also when you not use it) vs. ~0.20€/day but only if I use it. I use pay as you go and it comes around as a few $ per month versus the flat $20.
0x008··on OpenAI’s Red Team: the experts hired to ‘break’ ChatGPT
Not at all. Where are you from?
0x008··on OpenAI’s Red Team: the experts hired to ‘break’ ChatGPT
Oh yes but we are restricted, very much so, by the assumptions what other people might think of us or how we could be exiled from society if we say x or y forbidden thing.

Much like GPT fine tuned to not say certain things so are our brains by the parenting we receive and reactions we experience in early life.
