That's already a lot for such a niche project.

Qision··on Ask HN: What's Up with Archive.today?
I'm facing the same problem with my normal internet access but I just tried through Tor and it works fine. Hope this helps!

Edit: I just noticed that the Tor browser indicates a .onion version of the website is available and it works perfectly.

Why doesn't AMD make a similar framework than CUDA? Is this so much of a task? But if that increases their market share that should be financially viable, no?

Qision··on The Beginner's Textbook for Fully Homomorphic Encryption
Sorry for not responding earlier. This is probably a bug but it's super weird... I just emailed the mods about this.
Qision··on Fully homomorphic encryption and the dawn of a private internet
If I understand correctly companies like OpenAI could run LLMs without having access to the users new inputs. It seems to me new users data are really useful for further training of the models. Can they still train the models over encrypted data? If this new data is not usable, why would the companies still want it?

Let's assume they can train the LLMs over encrypted data, what if a large number of users inject some crappy data (like it has been seen with the Tay chatbot story). How can the companies still keep a way to clean the data?

Qision··on A maths proof that is only true in Japan
What is so special about IUT? They say the theory is "out of this world" but in what sense exactly? Did Mochizuki found a new interesting way to look at some ideas?
Qision··on Ask HN: How do I get the most out of an analyst job?
Thanks for your feedback!

>Would managing the git repo include CI/CD? Not really, we already have some people who manage our Jenkins instance.

>Do you have a CS degree? I don't, I have a scientific background and then I did a coding bootcamp. I don't really plan to get a CS degree since I already have hobbies that take all my free time.

Do you have any insights on what an analyst is doing in a company? Is it different from what I do now?

Qision··on Ask HN: How to properly secure a server?
Sorry for answering late, hope you will see my comment.

Is it necessary to add a vpn connexion to a server on top of the ssh one? Here is someone else asking the same question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35957349

I would be interested to have your feedback.

Qision··on Is MathAcademy Worth It? Thoughts After 2k Experience Points (XP)
>I'm not so sure about the spaced repetition side of things.

From what I could read, many studies have shown this is an effective technique. From my personal experience it only works if you understand what you are trying to remember. For example, trying to memorize some complicated formulas that you don't understand is doomed to fail.

Qision··on Is MathAcademy Worth It? Thoughts After 2k Experience Points (XP)
I recognize myself a lot when he talks about the feeling of losing knowledge acquired years ago. I would be very interested with MathAcademy if it can help me fight this! I am also wondering if it can help me learn new knowledge, especially new topics in maths I have never learned before?

Also what is the difference between MathAcademy and Brilliant? I have read many skeptical opinions on Brilliant, so it would be interesting to have a comparison.

Qision··on Ask HN: Do any of you use imageboards?
I used to use them. I really loved the fact that you can ask questions really freely and get quite raw answers (I don't like the so called "reddit style").

Then I stopped browsing them since it felt like doomscrolling even though these platforms were not designed to encourage that.

Qision··on Degoogled Android – My Experience
I would have been curious to read about WhatsApp since it is a widely used app. Also for youtube I use NewPipe which I find incredibly good (no ads, can manage playlists and audio only).
Qision··on The $499 Google Pixel 8a is official, with 120 Hz display, 7 years of updates
To me the worst part of the 7a is the touchscreen, very often when I type a message some letters get typed many times and this is a known problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/13wwqye/pixel_...

So I hope at least they solved this issue for the 8a

Qision··on Ask HN: How to Prepare for the AI Apocalypse?
In 2018 I attended one of Yann LeCun's talk, one person basically asked the same question than you, more precisely the question was "what advice can you give to young people/high school students who are about to start choosing their career?".

He explained that AI will mainly replace "basic" jobs like forklift operator or any job that needs repetitive tasks. Simply because these jobs have no value. On the other hand, he said that at least two kind of jobs will survive : jobs where you create value (like artists, creator etc.) because people will always desire something that took someone's time and attention to make. And jobs where you take care of others (teachers, nurse etc.) because no one want to be taken care of by a machine (read Asimov's novel The fun they had on that matter).

Qision··on Show HN: An anti-book recommendation tool, to help you escape your echo chamber
Hi, thanks for this website, I'm goinng to use it a lot I think!

I'd like to add a suggestion, when we pick a book, you propose two links, one is Amazon and the other one is Goggle. Could you replace those links by DuckDuckGo and maybe Goodreads (or any other website that doesn't almost control the market)? It's just to avoid those big companies.
