greenyies··on Tokens are a big reason today's generative AI falls short
I find this article very weird.

It doesn't really explain anything besides talking about tokenization on random levels.

You need a certain amount of data to even understand that once upon a time might be a higher level concept.

Exactly, this is just stupid marketing and has nothing to do with real ai

Scammers and stupid marketing doesn't mean ai is a bubble

Alpha Fold 2 for example.

Whisper.

Image gen changes a whole industry right now.

The robot demos the last year.

Way to long and no bubble in sight

Ai is already changing plenty of industries...

greenyies··on Ask HN: Does having a betting/gambling company in your CV hurt your career?
I might consider it tbh.
greenyies··on ChatGPT just (accidentally) shared all of its secret rules
We are at hn not on some regional newspaper site

Those type of 'secret' prompts are quite known.

greenyies··on ChatGPT just (accidentally) shared all of its secret rules
And?

Who cares?

Jail breaks and similar is known.

With accidentally and secret it's painted as something really bad happened

greenyies··on Hard drive, SSD puncher of physical media with 12 tons of pressure
There is a encryption standard for ssds and the better ones do this anyway.

The boot password might be needed to be configured but it's unlocks your SSD. It's enough for the SSD to forget the AES key

greenyies··on Hard drive, SSD puncher of physical media with 12 tons of pressure
Never heard or seen this.

Who? And why?

greenyies··on Hard drive, SSD puncher of physical media with 12 tons of pressure
SSD stores your data on flash chips.

They are coated and only the connectors are exposed.

You are not destroying anything you just make it hard to access

greenyies··on Indian airline gives female travelers option to choose seats next to women
It's one of many examples were people get a wrong assumption if what equally has to mean.

Allowing woman or enabling them to do 'men' things doesn't mean they have to do the exact thing as men. Like carrying the same weight.

I'm not dismissive about woman in military at all but I'm also not in a country like Israel were it is common to have woman.

Equality doesn't mean that everything is equal.

If you are 6'5 heigh equality could mean that smaller people sit or stand in front of you.

For woman it doesn't mean they have to go to military but could.

Why would they sponsor this for you?

Someone has to pay for it and if their product requires an API key anyway...

It's the same company. His trust was for the company not just for a product
greenyies··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
I talk about the distro qubes os and not about xen.

Also my email account and everything normal I do, is part of my normal life and it's very helpful to be normal.

If I would ever do something out of the ordinary and want to do something which requires physical access, it's much easier to travel the world as someone who has a normal Internet profile.

My personal data is protected enough on Gmail and gdrive.

Everything else just doesn't exist anywhere.

I'm not switching my os to some obscure one for security and it doesn't make sense for me to isolate my browser from my system/files.

And yes my mail account is more critical than my local files.

I'm serious enough about security that I don't trust a very small dev teams skill set developing a browser for the Internet we have today.
greenyies··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
Despite you painting it as extreme as you do, yes.

Random exploits on the Internet are still a higher risk for me.

I'm just not trusting a small browser dev team.

The risk of exploits is too high

greenyies··on I built an AI tool to summarize YouTube videos and save time
Through which interface?
greenyies··on Writing HTML by hand is easier than debugging your static site generator
I'm using site generator for site generator use cases...

And servers which do not have any backend. Even apache2 SSI isn't enabled by default.

A standard default templating system on static content hosters would help.

greenyies··on Wind and solar are 'fastest-growing electricity sources in history'
At least in Germany the price per kWh of wind and solar is super cheap.

But the dispatch of energy costs money which everyone pays for.

Dispatch means that an overproducing solar farm or wind farm gets disconnected but still gets compensation for this.

Keeping gas plants costs money too.

I think we currently pay for making standby energy solutions a lot cheaper.

Either through gas plants and cheap gas storage or batteries. There is a lot of movement in redox flow batteries and normal batteries too.

Diy is already at 150$\kWh.

Cars have already 100kWh and 100kWh is enough to heat a whole house in the winter for 2 days when using a heat pump.

greenyies··on Wind and solar are 'fastest-growing electricity sources in history'
Game theory playsna big role here too.

We have a group of people like me or real investors who invest in solar. I bought a balcony powerplant. It's just 600 watts but because how the market works, I disrupt it with this as everyone else who invests in it.

Other sellers.of energy see their profits swindle and another potentially independent group sees all this free overproduction of renewable as another opportunity.

You basically have to invest if you own old power plants to not loose to the others.
