infinitezest··on Ask HN: What are some self-hosted photo organizing/sharing programs?
I thought they removed this functionality awhile ago. It appears I am mistaken.
infinitezest··on As Covid cases rise, we're unprepared for the mass disabling event of long Covid
The absolute shit show that was the brunt (thus far) of the covid pandemic has me wondering which of these "legit sources" deserve my trust. This is not to say that they are all malicious but when looking at all of the the expert opinion doled out during that time, there seems to be a really high occurrence of failure.
infinitezest··on “Open” “AI” Isn't
Your call is very important to us We're taking these allegations very seriously We believe in transparency
infinitezest··on The Future of the Vim Project
Maybe not important to some but the ability to use Lua over VimScript is a big win in my opinion. In fact, I use a mix of thr two where necessary.
infinitezest··on The Future of the Vim Project
In my experience, Nvim and Vim are similar enough that I don't have any trouble SSHing into any server with Vim and using it after using Nvim all day for development. So far Nvim has been a purely opt-in experience for me.
infinitezest··on Reasons to Drop Docker for Podman
I've been using orbstack on macos and its been wonderful. Much faster than docker for. Mac.
infinitezest··on Personal branding guide: Software engineer edition
To be fair, personal branding appears to be Polywork's whole deal. I tried it out for a bit but in the end, it just wasn't useful for me.
infinitezest··on What we know about LLMs
I personally use copilot every day and I love it. It reduces the amount of typing I have to do, gives me lots of good suggestions for solving simple problems and has made working with unfamiliar languages so much easier.
infinitezest··on TODO apps are meant for robots
I've had a similar experience. However, Now that my partner and I both use Todoist, I don't have much trouble sticking with it.
infinitezest··on PhotoPrism: AI-powered photos app for the decentralized web
This is a similar project but fully open source (and probably less mature). The lead dev is very active and responsive. https://immich.app/
infinitezest··on Authors say OpenAI 'ingested' their books to train ChatGPT
Snark aside, for this analogy to work you'd have to be able to leverage your "training data" at a much larger scale than a single person typically can. You would also need to be able to train at the same speed. Scale is the key factor here.
infinitezest··on What do you think of Threads, Meta’s new Twitter Alternative?
> Meta is in the crosshairs of regulators after Cambridge Analytica.

I'll believe it when I see some actual results. With the kind of money and influence that Facebook has, the wrist slaps they get are just BAU.

infinitezest··on I am drowning in mutes: The current Threads experience
If you have to put that kind of work into a platform to make it usable, I would suggest putting it into a platform that aligns with your values. I just can't understand why anyone, even "normals", would be so eager to jump into bed with Facebook again after the last decade.
infinitezest··on Show HN: Banger.show – Create colorful visuals for your songs in seconds
Did you consider using an existing visualizer like ProjectM to generate the visuals and then record the output to a file? I have no idea if their license would allow you to monetize that though.
infinitezest··on Disabling Matrix Portalling
In case anyone else was confused by the terminology here: https://matrix.org/blog/2017/03/11/how-do-i-bridge-thee-let-...
infinitezest··on TabDB: Using browser tabs as a database like only a maniac would
Would benefit from the addition of a message queue and son server less functions
infinitezest··on Show HN: An AI-based OKRs generator
Having to write OKRs makes me feel like I'm trapped in a satirical comedy. The work means nothing and the meta work means even less. This adds another layer that has me looking around for the cameras.
infinitezest··on Windows 11 in Svelte
Based on the amount of salesmanship happening in the readme, I think its sfe to say the author knows this already :P
infinitezest··on The EARN IT bill is back. We've killed it twice, let's do it again
Wait, are you saying you're against the Puppies and Kittens Act?!
infinitezest··on Just Simply – Stop saying how simple things are in our docs
...maybe? Why would fragility be a less likely explanation? I promise, I'm thinking as hard as I can but maybe I'm too dumb.
infinitezest··on Rate The Landlord: Anonymously share information with tenants like you
In my experience, the more difficult a landlord is, the more tenants they have.
infinitezest··on It doesn’t take much to make machine-learning algorithms go awry
If this is a normal capability of most people, I am horribly broken.
infinitezest··on Google has already pulled six products in 2023
Google has the right to create or kill share products it wants. Consumers are not obligated to like it, refrain from complaining, or to keep adopting their products.
infinitezest··on Helix 23.03
Helix is awesome but I'm unlikely to see itch from Neovim. There aren't any killer features that I'm aware of and my Nvim setup is highly customized and works perfectly for my workflows.
infinitezest··on TikTok Ban Bill Is Patriot Act 2.0 Trojan Horse [video]
I believe the original wording was "land of the free for the first 6 months, no credit card required"
infinitezest··on TikTok Ban Bill Is Patriot Act 2.0 Trojan Horse [video]
Defecting to Moscow? I know he lives there but what leads you to believe he's defected to Russia? Is there any evidence that this has happened?
infinitezest··on Show HN: Learn Python with Minecraft
If you don't mind using Lua instead, I can recommended minetest as a free alternative. I've had a lot of fun messing around in it. It has a lot of great games and mods as well.

infinitezest··on Experian is a pile of dark pattern garbage
> And need I remind you that the NSA had millions of sensitive recirds stolen by a single IT tech?

Are you talking about the contractor? Who worked for a private business?

infinitezest··on Yyvette's Bridal
According to their website, "our menu is actually good".
infinitezest··on Stop Saying “Technical Debt”
You're not alone. This drives me nuts
