Agree! So many great genuine creators, but the algo keeps pushing only clickbaity shit

Aws Gcp Azure have overbuilt, you don't need most of those services to build scalable and reliable infra for large institutions

The bottleneck is having a standardized SAFE for Europe. Global investors must be able to invest without having to understand Italian and Polish corporate law

At some point the US will lose the Dollar, and it will turn out that US productivity is just like everyone else's.

So much American exceptionalism is just the Dollar exceptionalism.

Without the G7 piling up dollars, there is no American exceptionalism.

Just create a new user and setup pip/npm to install locally.

And setup an .env for the project with user/password to access only a dev database.

<< America needs to be at war so that Trump can halt normal domestic process and procedure under war powers acts etc. This is the next step. >>

Did something similar a while back [1], best way to learn neural nets and backprop. Just using Numpy also makes sure you get the math right without having to deal with higher level frameworks or c++ libraries.

Curious, it's probably my favorite video-game experience ever.

Google, Bing, local newspapers, council websites, passed through LLMs

Currrently works in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and UK.

Rest of Europe and USA coming at the end of the month. The search engine is a bit expensive to run, but it's the only thing I've seen that actually finds local events in small towns.

The market is like an ecosystem. There are huge mammals (investment banks, hedge funds) that look at certain type of preys, and there are smaller rodents that only eat very tiny worms.

In high volatility regimes, ie. stocks with low market cap, the market is far from efficient. Hedge funds are not even looking at stocks with 100M market cap.

There are traders that act in these regimes that beat the market, exactly because they play small.

Anyhow most people would be better of by assuming the market is completely efficient.

I think it's just interest rates.

I can easily get 3% per year investing in safe bonds, so I expect at least 3% to put money on any 100% safe bet.

I want to be paid for waiting X months

Not only America will be poorer. Everyone will be poorer

Everyone puts taxes on some sectors. It's economic policy. Trump is not doing economic policy. He's using a simple formula to ideologically reduce trade deficit. No matter the consequences!

Trust the experts: America will be poorer because of these tariffs.

It's typical Empire Hubris: thinking you can get away with anything because you are special.

Trump doesn't really know what he's doing. He surrounded himself with yes-men that know perfectly not to contradict him.

The global Dollar order was built to American advantage. Trump is dismantling it for no reason. If the dollar order crumbles, the US will discover it has much lower productivity.

There is no American exceptionalism: it's just Dollar exceptionalism. No Dollar, no exceptionalism.

Degrees from Europe are very transferable. Germany, Italy, France, the nordics etc. all offer engineering degrees in english basically for free (or close) for all EU citizens. I cannot think of any better and cheaper education path. Some of the best engineers (and professors!) in the US actually got their education from minor and major Universities in Europe where they got their education for free.

It doesn't mention a new category: when people generate code FROM unit-tests

For example:

Hi eamag, this sounds great! I'm gonna try add it to Audiblez

It works on Apple Silicon, but it doesn't use the GPU. Because Kokoro has not been implemented yet in MLX

Generate the audiobook on a laptop and then listen to it on mobile

It holds up well, because Audiblez uses sentence splitting (via Spacy models) before audio synthesis

You can get pretty close with open source software:

Yeah, that's a known issue, if the book is all on a single chapter you don't get any sense of progress. I may fix that next weekend

The trick is to:

   1. Cook the pasta in very little water ("pasta risottata").

   2. Vigorously agitate (emulsify) the sauce with that super starchy broth

If you do it right, no water is drained at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN8g_ZNAJcg

<< They keep coming up with weird “facts” (“Greek is actually a combination of four other languages) >>

Not as wrong as the author thinks. From Britannica.com:

"Greek language, Indo-European language spoken mostly in Greece. Its history can be divided into four phases: Ancient Greek, Koine, Byzantine Greek, and Modern Greek."

Interesting idea, but isn't code addressable already in most languages?

We call them modules/libraries and we pip/npm install them from Github and you can keep track of changes/versions/PRs.

I see 3 kind of people, all common on HN:

- The luddites: it's just hype.

- The doomers: AI will kill us all.

- The AI indie hackers: dunno about AI, I'm trying to make money with it.

Somehow the intersection is right: AI is not really smart, but it will replace a lot of human activity anyhow.

This is when I build a product and then Microsoft releases it three weeks later -_-

I suspect that's a trick, too. I speculate that as soon as you get a digital mind sophisticated enough to model the world and itself, you soon must force the system to identify with the system at every cycle.

Otherwise you could identify with a tree, or the wall, or happily cut parts of yourself. Pain is not painful if you don't identify with the receiver of pain.

Thus I think you can have unconscious smart minds, but not unconscious minds that make decisions in favour of themselves. Because they can identify with the whole room, or with the whole solar system for what matters.

Would you even plan how to survive if you don't have a constant spell that tricks you into thinking you're the actor in charge?

that's consciousness.
