Like most customization and command replacements (like the fancy greps, ls's, etc), I've stopped using fancy prompts because I log in to lots of systems over the day and most of them won't have my prompt and this causes annoyance.

Also I have a theory that it lowers chatbot performance if you're copy pasting terminal output.

So on the site itself it says

Agile prices can spike up to 100 p/kWh any time - although a typical household in Winter '22-'23 paid around 35 p/kWh average.

so that's even more than I'm paying. This seems to only make sense if you have some sort of intelligent battery system.

I don't know how you're accomplishing that.

The lowest mine goes is $0.3 1am-4am.

I'm just translating for USD for an American audience.

Cool so when will this translate into cheaper energy? Why am I paying $0.4 per kwh?

I wonder if this would work for anti-ai captchas... "Uncensor the following words to continue: f**k s**t c**t". You can think of more severe ones obviously, I'm not going to put them here. It seems like that might stop the usual proprietary chatbot apis.

I heard some banks don't have web sites, only apps.

In my opinion, if you're running k8s on bare metal, that's "k8s on bare metal" but still "<your app> on kubernetes", not "<your app> on bare metal".

I think that's a good idea. It's a more manual setup but also more space efficient (if you skip backing up eg linux isos) and causes less wear than RAID.

Nothing says "obsession with standardization" like being one of only three countries on Earth that can't figure out that water freezes at 0 and boils at 100.

But the web site shouldn't enforce it. If users want smaller line lengths they should resize the browser window

Yes, OLEDs are notably dim compared to eg the cheaper mini-led displays. That's why OLED displays aren't recommended for environments with ambient light like windows or mandatory lighting.

I mean you can just google this. It's common knowledge, I'm not dropping some hot new research here.

OLEDs have many drawbacks that make them a no-go. They're dim, have bad text rendering, use a lot of power, and get permanent burn in on static UIs.

In return you get "deep blacks". But photographers have been raising black levels since forever because it turns out it makes pictures more pleasant. So, uh.

Good things such as supporting Israel's genocide

The British were also very evil, but they got to write the history books.

They accepted what their government told them, which supports the point.

Actually 4chan does have accounts, otherwise you get extremely nasty captchas.

Anyways, image boards are ephemeral because the devs were incompetent and cheap, it wasn't some genius design, or design at all.

Yeah I guess. Just wanted to say the size difference might be accounted for by the model knowing more.

Seems more user-friendly to bake it in.

UK site blocking isn't done with DNS. I think they mess with routes at the ISP level. There's not much you can do except use a VPN.

Would that work as well? If I ask a big model to write like Shakespeare it just knows intuitively how to do that. If it didn't and had to look up how to do that, I'm not sure it would do a good job.

My experience is that gpt-oss doesn't know much about obscure topics, so if you're using it for anything except puzzles or coding in popular languages, it won't do well as the bigger models.

It's knowledge seems to be lacking even compared to gpt3.

No idea how you'd benchmark this though.

I wonder if we're doing the wrong thing blocking them with invasive tools like cloudflare?

If all you're concerned about is server load, wouldn't it be better to just offer a tar file containing all of your pages they can download instead? The models are months out of date, so a monthly dumb would surely satisfy them. There could even be some coordination for this.

They're going to crawl anyway. We can either cooperate or turn it into some weird dark market with bad externalities like drugs.

Those died a long time ago though

This is a cool project and I want go give it a go in my spare time.

However what gives me pause is the sheer number of possibly compromised microphones all around me (phones, tablets, laptops, tv etc) at all times, which makes spying much easier than if I use a keyboard.

Not really, the internet is fundamentally different now due to the amount of "attention" and resulting pressure it got.

So it's a wiki?

I don't get it.

Why did Google leave? Because they didn't want to follow the law. Maybe they thought China would fold but they miscalculated.

The incoherent views of the hn user: "We need to do something about the corporations" but also "China is evil for doing something about the corporations"

You would have to install a certificate for that to work.
