This is also recommended reading if you want to learn more about building LLMs from scratch: See:

Train your own LLM - https://github.com/angelos-p/llm-from-scratch

HN Discussion - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48017948

This looks great for a first introduction to training LLMs, and it looks simple enough to try this locally. Great job!

Just recently seen this sort of trend of text-based UI or "TUI" applications in the terminal which has caught my attention ever since Claude Code.

Where can I find these TUI applications to look at?

Does wine and wine bottler work on the new Apple silicon macs? Maybe for the old intel machines it does but not quite sure for the new macs though.

Is that even stable to use yet? Last time I used ReactOS, it was very unstable to use as a daily driver.

Some of the basic apps like Jetbrains it could barely run it. At best it was crashing frequently for me.

I just don't trust Google anymore. They are not the same as they were years ago and have just declined in general.

Play Store Review and everything takes weeks sometimes and I can't tolerate that.

A cool collection and comparison of terminal emulators compared against each other. Just stumbled across this useful site myself. (I use WezTerm btw)

Also tried these terminals as well but stuck with Wezterm in the end and its one of my favourites.

I happened to have stumbled upon here to compare those terminals on this site: https://terminaltrove.com/terminals/

Looks pretty useful to me or anyone else that wants to compare terminals.

Great news for another new $1TN dollar company, however in [0]

"Market cap stories (and price fluctuation stories generally) mostly aren't substantive enough to make interesting HN threads. They just turn into generic discussions about the underlying company or currency or whatever, and those are too repetitive to be interesting."

This one is no exception, with such threads should also apply to this one. Just like it did with Tesla and Facebook about them reaching $1TN. Right?

It is essentially a 'horse race story'.

I mean Anthropic Claude looks cool, I tried getting access to it and no email back from them or any mention of access whatsoever.

It has been months since I applied for that and I'm starting to think it is either a demoware product or at worse vapourware, unless someone else has access to Claude and has used it?

Is anyone else in the same boat?

Any receipts?

> Install any malware. Install any Trojanized App Store full of warez and viruses. Use an unsupported browser full of RCE vulns. Use sketchy payment system that steals you card. Use a spyware voice assistant.

Correct. Malware and trojans, everywhere will be unleashed on the average user and will make the crypto wallet an obvious target for scammers and criminals to take payment with and steal the users crypto.

Wallets will be drained via modified, cracked apps or hack tools connecting to dodgy smart contracts, and payment providers will be using anonymous cryptocurrencies like Zcash, monero, mobilecoin (used in signal messenger) etc.

I can only see nothing but the same security issues on the desktop, but now made worse on phones enabling side-loading or alternative app stores.

For those in Canada, the banks and telephone lines were all down at one point. Even if you were on a different internet provider that was up, you bank would still be down.

So the 'call my bank' option won't work here and wire transfer is no different to transferring money in crypto as they are both irreversible.

But I don't know how entering a .eth/.sol/etc address or scanning a QR code to send USDC over is harder than typing in the sort code, account number, IBAN number, etc to do a wire transfer.

Am I? Or didn't I just say 'There's just too many to list here' and just listed the notable examples.

So who operated those Tor nodes and services of multiple darknet websites in [0] and [1]? Another cybercriminal.

Talking about 'movings goal posts' and missing the whole 'anonymity' point of Tor. Only time will tell, but so far a great use case for criminals, extremists and terrorists using it.

> Either way, your same argument can be made against the whole internet which should demonstrate how silly it is.

Not really.

I recognize that the same criminals can also use the wider internet too, however there are central authorities and regulators in different countries that have laws that regulate the internet in the countries that they are in and these criminals will be caught very quickly if they tried.

The difference is that Tor only makes it more harder to trace, hence the appeal to criminals, extremists and terrorists to use it for their illegal activities which that is its unintended use case after promising 'privacy' and 'anonymity' for 'everyone'.

So yes, that is it's 'decentralised' road to hell indeed.

Is it? There's just too many to list here, even after the shutting down of Silk Road, but these crackdowns cannot be ignored; and look what they found. Majority of criminals using it once again.

Have you finally cracked the Tor network yet to find and trace all those Nazis, extremists, hitmen and terrorists that are still hiding there to make that unfounded claim?

You also might have heard about this saying which goes by: 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' and it goes both ways. At least I happen to recognize that, unlike the grandparent comment.

But where did I exactly say 'ban' it?

> No doubt others will say their own favourite blockchain is more efficient and is the future of Web3. But all blockchains are much more inefficient than literally any alternative. For example, ethereum...

Please attack and critique the 'alleged' state of the art blockchains of today that don't use PoW.

Once again, only attacking the easiest examples in the blockchain industry (which use PoW). Everyone knows that Bitcoin, and Ethereum are both destroying the planet. Not all cryptocurrencies are the same as those two and many do not use PoW today.

It's very easy to criticise the environmental impacts of the first commercial petrol car and use that as an argument to say that all cars should not be used or that cars will not change the world, since petrol cars are more hostile to the environment.

The author is doing the same thing, but generalising and bundling all cryptocurrencies having the same environmental negatives as PoW cryptocurrencies (Including Bitcoin, and Ethereum).

Fairly good article except:

   > Tesla became the fifth company to surpass a market value of $1 trillion on 25 October, behind Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google-owner Alphabet.

Complete fake news and misleading. Facebook Inc. (aka Meta) was the fifth that surpassed and closed beyond $1TN before Tesla Inc did, making Tesla the sixth trillion-dollar company. From CNBC [0]

   > Facebook closed above $1 trillion in market capitalization for the first time on Monday. The social media company is the fifth U.S. company to hit the milestone, joining Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google-parent company Alphabet.

Disappointing BBC Online news once again.

[0] https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/28/facebook-hits-trillion-dolla...

This isn't the first time it was $1K a share.

It already was beyond that before the stock split in August last year. [0]

[0] https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/11/tesla-announces-five-for-one...

That's good. it better 'close' over $1T.

However from [0]:

> Market cap stories (and price fluctuation stories generally) mostly aren't substantive enough to make interesting HN threads. They just turn into generic discussions about the underlying company or currency or whatever, and those are too repetitive to be interesting.

So is this going to get flagged down then?

Not fun getting cancelled is it?

This is the reason why companies like Coinbase and Basecamp stay away from politics in the workplace and focus on being a mission-focused company.

Companies like Netflix are not on your side and are on the side of profit. They will remove anyone to save themselves from compromising the company.

Wise broke a new record on their direct listing and so did another tech giant that just hit $1TN. Not only the fastest but a first for a company founded in this century and that is what you don't see every day.

Compare that to 13 days ago, MSFT was the second company to reach $2TN [0].

But that seemed to be fine by the HN crowd to be 'interesting' enough to discuss about even though I find that unsurprising and less worthy of attention than Facebook being the first and fastest $1TN company founded in the 21st century.

Since each of their IPOs, it took AAPL and MSFT 3 decades to reach $1TN. For FB? Less than a decade.

So the news of both Apple, Microsoft [0] [1] is fine but not Facebook? [2] It seems dang doesn't understand the gravity of this milestone for a public company like Facebook.

Why are we talking about the market cap of a newly listed company on HN? I thought such stories 'mostly aren't substantive enough to make interesting HN threads' and are generally 'too repetitive to be interesting'.

Exactly. A screenshot is not convincing enough as they can 'inspect element' this 'hack'.

Simply show me a video logging into the account in real time with the given password and the 'hacker' can eliminate this skepticism.

Quite funny how people can quickly believe this stuff on the internet without thinking again, especially from...

BBC online news... sigh.
