dreamyfigment··on Peak LLM?
Any chance you can upload those versions to archive.org?
dreamyfigment··on The situation at LastPass may be worse than they are letting on
Thanks! They seem to encrypt everything too.

Items contain overviews and details which are encrypted separately by the vault key. We encrypt these separate so that we can quickly decrypt the information needed to list, sort, and find items without having to first decrypt everything in the vault.

Item overviews include the item fields needed to list items and to quickly match items to websites, such as Title, URLs, password strength indicator, and tags.

I wonder what 1password does
dreamyfigment··on Kite is saying farewell and open-sourcing its code
I _love_ Copilot but the only reason I use it is because I qualify under their open source developers program, I just can't justify paying $10/month for it.
dreamyfigment··on Affinity 2
I'm very tempted to get Affinity 2 for that price but lately I've found that most Mac apps tend to release major versions weirdly often and in that case there's not a lot of difference between having yearly subscription and paying to update once a year.
dreamyfigment··on Factorio Is the Best Technical Interview We Have (2021)
I bounced hard from Factorio because it feels like work so... sure, it makes sense.
dreamyfigment··on Show HN: Spanish Basic
I feel programming languages for interactive fiction are the only place where non-english projects have any chance of being useful.

Inform7 in spanish would be neat to have for kids, for example. It's not about programming, it's more about expressing themselves through a game.

dreamyfigment··on Show HN: Spanish Basic
I remember being completely mystified the first time I heard "arreglo" at my first job.

I have a theory that the frequency of the use of those translations (arreglo, aplicativo) in a workplace is directly proportional to the amount of bureaucracy in it.

dreamyfigment··on Anytype: A local, privacy-first Notion alternative
The scrolling banner screams "this is a scam" to me for some reason. And that's not even touching the weirdness of that manifesto.

But, other than that, I hope it exists. Mostly because Notion really needs self-hosted alternatives, especially with "database" items support.

dreamyfigment··on What I wish I knew about onboarding
There's a very delicate balance when dealing with "Resist the urge to change things," from both sides. As an old-timer, I sometimes find it annoying when new co-workers try to change stuff because they are not used to our stuff. But, on the other hand, it's incredibly easy to get calcified in our ways if people wait too long after entering to suggest changes since that "fresh" perspective is gone.
dreamyfigment··on Google has banned the training of deepfakes in Colab
I wonder if we'll end up in a future where gaming GPUs will be restricted from running ML algorithms, to prevent private individuals from running advanced deepfakes/DALLE-10 or whatever.
dreamyfigment··on Ask HN: What are options to replace “G Suite legacy” when it's retired in May?
https://purelymail.com/ is a simple alternative I've been using since I saw it posted here. $10 a year or https://purelymail.com/advancedpricing, mostly your choice depending on your usage.
dreamyfigment··on Adhole.org is shutting down
After what happened with uBlock I wouldn't trust anyone to continue a project like this. Much better to shut it down and to allow the community to come up with an alternative.
dreamyfigment··on Ask HN: Has remote work made you move to a new location or consider it?
I've thought about it but I end up discarding the idea because even if I move, if I want to get another job I'd have to move back to increase my chances to get another job, due to the way the job market works here.
dreamyfigment··on Interview with GDKChan, Creator of Ryujinx, the Nintendo Switch Emulator
The interview makes it sound like the GDKChan is in it for the experience while the Yuzu devs are in it for the money, even if he's polite enough to not say it directly.
dreamyfigment··on Ask HN: What email service provider are you using for your custom domain?
purelymail.com after I saw it posted here on HN.
dreamyfigment··on Discord Launches Threads
I'm not sure I like the implementation, with threads having a "title" and the forced archiving. They feel more complex than they should.
