finikytou··on Germany's 49-euro ticket resulted in significant shift from road to rail
do you have free parking? cities are making money out of parking spots. a lot of money. so much than one would say they have an incentive to reduce parking space to increase price and reduce expenses
finikytou··on Germany's 49-euro ticket resulted in significant shift from road to rail
in Paris (and pretty sure that applies to pretty much any big western city, new york for instance is worse in a few of the criterias ill reference) subway increase stress, frequent delays(if you have 2-3 train as part of your commute you will experience it daily), pollution down under is high, virus/covid transmission is high, pickpockets are everywhere if not worse, bedbug, pee smell, junkies. Id take a car any day.
finikytou··on 'Nearly unusable': Calif. police majorly push back on Tesla cop cars
they had over 100K BUDGET to make the car ready for police work but somehow they did not find a way to reproduce the "hide behind the engine". sounds like they hired the wrong engineers to do the job. I think even GPT 2 can come up with a solution to this for less than a few thousands
finikytou··on TSMC execs allegedly dismissed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as 'podcasting bro'
dont forget google wasnt like this at the beginning. OpenAI or competition WILL incorporate ADS into the equation and at the end we will have moved away from google to reproduce the same model
finikytou··on TSMC execs allegedly dismissed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as 'podcasting bro'
they are right tho. He is a snake oil vendor and all his A team leaving due likely to his moves and unethical steps taken from day 1 are proof that TSMC is a solid business
finikytou··on Effects of Gen AI on High Skilled Work: Experiments with Software Developers
Im in western europe and I would never let my children walk themselves to school at 6. europe is far from being a safe place minus some eastern europe.
finikytou··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
he got banned from banks before and he doesnt want his money seized. anyone with the slightest understand of how us government operates would understand why hes storing the money physically.. Even bitcoiners do it....
finikytou··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
it was. he chose freedom and trusting people. if you go to jail for that you can be sure that it already created a precedent that put into jail a lot of innocent people
finikytou··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
yeah I guess you just need to fund political campaigns for democrats to be in the good part of "the platform is responsible for what users do on here". seeing what Google and FB got away with its pretty obvious that USA is bending the law to remove political oponnents here with KDotCom and soon with Musk
finikytou··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
how old are you? did you live through the megaupload era? for a few years it was ubiquitous and def a cashcow machine
finikytou··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
sad to see that kind of comments in HN. I feel that 10 years ago there was more room for accepting that a political opponent should be free to speak up. now our educated masses are pushing for prison and extradition because they don't belong to the axis of good.... you def cannot be for opensource and its values and say things like that
finikytou··on Mistral Agents
it is quite simple to explain. it is a while(1) and some if.
finikytou··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/des-rivieres-de-sang-v... here you go about hamas.

and then here you go about left wing being behind the train attack: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/france-sees-hand-of-far-lef...

this is the problem when having a political bias. you stop being factual. it was not the russian you were wrong and you wont even acknowledge it. before the russian it was the arabs for decades and before that it was the serbs. we know how the hive mind operates.

finikytou··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
got downvoted to -4 while it was revealed that french far left was behind the attack.https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/france-sees-hand-of-far-lef...

nice to see the political wokeness affecting hnews.

finikytou··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
coming back to this https://www.ft.com/content/9efa3343-e97e-40ed-b7d7-e2b6a6a58...

it was indeed the russian far left from france. you were right I apologize. putin owns even our left wing I wonder how France is even still a nation

finikytou··on France high-speed rail traffic disrupted by 'malicious acts' on Olympic ceremony
yeah sounds about true. french newspaper also said hamas was russian yesterday. I guess I got a power outage yesterday too. must be putin.
finikytou··on The Limited Value of Multivitamin Supplements
CUPS is the most horrible measure in the world
finikytou··on Paul Auster has died
He was for a moment quite popular and his books were definitely above the average overhyped populer american writer.

Mr Vertigo was a nice little book that punched above its weight and would def recommend reading it

finikytou··on The Great Migration from MongoDB to PostgreSQL
Dynamo is not mongo?
finikytou··on The Great Migration from MongoDB to PostgreSQL

finikytou··on U.S. rice exports to Haiti have unhealthy levels of arsenic, study finds
you can look at south africa and see those sample of people.
finikytou··on AI behavior guardrails should be public
racism victims being defined in 2024 by anyone but western/white people. being erased seems ok. can you bet than in 20 years the standard will not shift to mixed race people like me? then you will also call people complaining racist and put guardrails against them... this is where it is going
finikytou··on AI behavior guardrails should be public
too woke to even feel ashamed. this is also thanks to this wokeness that AI will never replace humans at jobs where results are expected over feelings or sense of pride of showing off some pretentious values
finikytou··on Full $71M breakdown for The Village by M. Night Shyamalan (2003) [pdf]
its one of my favorite modern movies. everything is done brillantly and the cinematography is probably shyamalan's best
finikytou··on Ask HN: What happened to startups, why is everything so polished?
a lot of the twitter startup and indie dev are totally phoney. they share numbers saying they making money but what they really sell is their course or discord channel or whatever scam they can use to milk their base
finikytou··on Brave Leo now uses Mixtral 8x7B as default
quick question I have 24GB VRAM and I need to close everything to run MIXTRAL at 4 bit quant with bitsandbyte. there is no way to run it at 3,5 on windows?
finikytou··on Why a toaster from 1949 is still smarter than any sold today (2021)
I have a dualit toaster still made in UK and high quality, easy to replace components and manual lever but it was pricey and def not as advanced as this old toaster but analog is best to control how you want your bread
finikytou··on Build a search engine, not a vector DB
full text search is also overhyped. at the end you querying a KB just like in the 90s. the major difference is the scale of the model and the fact that he can make assumptions with a tone that would make you believe what is he saying is a fact
finikytou··on Over 20 nations, including Japan, call for tripling of nuclear energy
good wake up call. germany actively played against european nuclear energy and now people are waking up. for countries with larger populations than iceland this is either using nuclear or being woke and burning coal when there isn't wind or sun. everyone that will go nuclear will have a large market advantage on pretty much everything.
