That's why to build things as a static site generator, and then the result of that effectively needs no further maintenance, and only costs whatever the domain costs.
Makes it much more viable to keep such experimental things online "forever".
Someone did something similar for the current front page:
https://hn.videoThere was also another one with a more youtube-like UI, which I can't find anymore.
These days, with LLM assisted development, with relatively simple GUIs, I would go towards platform native GUIs per platform. And then all the shared business logic goes in a shared "core", with the GUIs only serving as "dumb" inputs and outputs, with all business logic shared between them.
LLMs are quite good at tedious tasks such as keeping multiple GUIs in different languages in sync with each other.
Yes, sure. But at my brick-and mortar bank I can go and talk to a flesh and bones human, instead of to an AI robot. Which is a much better service, when the anti-fraud thing does happen.
The revolut anti-fraud thing also seems to be less well done, being easier to trigger than other "real" banks.
I think this was right at the beginning, in the GPT-3.5 era still.
I always wanted to put it behind an open SSH server as a "fake" honeypot of sorts, see what attackers and script kiddies do with it. But I guess by now someone's tried that already..
> For long distance heavy transport, alternative fuels or battery-electric is not feasible yet.
We have this wonderful thing called trains. Many key long distance routes in Europe are even electrified already.
That's why downdetector shows a chart, which is basically a chart of how many people clicked "I'm having a problem with this service". Of course you get a small amount of people having issues, but if you suddenly see a big spike on the graph, it's a good sign that it's broken for many more people than usual.
Its a great product when it works. When it doesn't, for example if they decide to freeze your money for no reason, it's not fun anymore. And there's plenty of reports of that happening to people.
Instagram already does charge for outgoing links, so I would assume that they found that they can sustainably make money with it there, and that it should work on FB too.
I thinks what's more happening is bespoke software made by people for themselves mostly, often with a user count of 1. That's quite a huge change, for users of that software. Of course such things are not replacing existing apps.
I guess, in practice this can also be likely be made to run google services, the same as they can run on custom ROMs. And it already lists Aurora store as a solution.
So it's definitely something for more tinkerer people, but still quite cool.
I do wonder how long the electronics, motor and little (plastic) gears in the drill would last with this. Especially since I'd suspect that it's designed for intermittent use, where it has time to cool down between each screw / hole drilling that you'd do normally. If you drive 2 miles in one go, that'll be a lot of heat that doesn't have time go anywhere.
Somehow I'd suspect that it won't last all that long...
How well does this (and similar services) deal with anti-bot protection? What happens if I attempt to retrieve a page protected by the cloudflare checkbox or by Anubis? An error, no useful content, or the actual content I want?
AI is incredible at making things viable (time-wise) that weren't before.
As an example, to show off my LLM-reverse-engineered-hardware project: a user-space driver and software for an old FireWire to USB box, the manufacturer drivers for which were last updated in 2006 and don't really work anymore on modern OSes (and never worked on Mac). Firewire these days in general is also incredibly buggy (needing legacy drivers for PCIe cards, software that wasn't updated since 2006, etc).
With a modern app, even something written in a few days, is already so much more pleasant to use and less buggy, than _all_ the old options that people were using before.
The hardware is quite unique because it's the only widely sold device(-family) that had a DV (FireWire/1394) connector for connecting mid-2000s camcorders, allowing you to transfer video via USB on computers that didn't (don't) have a FireWire port. And internally it works by packing the digital DV video stream into USB, without converting it, so you get the raw, full-quality video data as it was on the tape, the same you'd get it with a "real" firewire setup.
I guess the downside is that if people find out that this old, unique hardware is useful now, it will become expensive and hard to find.
It's here in case someone ever finds it useful: https://github.com/JonasCz/MarvinCapture
I'm sure they're also using AI to build those infotainment systems these days, so I don't think the stability / usability somehow magically comes from the use of AI.
Probably it does come from the manufacturer not caring and just releasing the bare minimum, whereas hobby developers can, and want to, spend more time on getting things perfect.
> It's impossible to activate them now
There's easy jailbreak options to bypass the activation for those and have a functional device, nowdays.
At least in France,those sorts of 10A power strips are not sold I'm pretty sure. (in reputable stores). Especially not a design like that where to allows to plug devices that need an earth into it. Id almost suspect that your link is also a china special that somehow doesn't have safety certification..
But in France, the 16A shuko outlets are on a max 20A breaker, which means you can still overload a 16A power strip, but I guess there's enough margin there that the regulator considers that to be OK.
Although at least at my work we had someone come in and replace all the power strips with ones that have a 16A resettable breaker thing built in. So maybe I'm commercial spaces it's different.
The problem with this is that probably you'll end up losing the domain name.
In the case of PirateBay, probably the users are willing to search for "what is the latest domain", since that's how they get their "Linux ISOs" for free.
But with Nitter, the alternative is just to go to the real twitter, so many users won't bother anymore to go find the latest domain , I'd guess. And then the project dies.
Regarding hobbyists: some clouds, and also the bigger clouds, do target hobbyists quite a lot, presumably with the intention that some of those hobbyists will eventually grow and stick with them. So I don't think "not wanting hobbyists" is entirely true.
But yes, the amount of money they spend is less, so it makes less sense to implement features that only hobbyists want.
I also don't think there is a park that looks like that, in that location relative ton the Eiffel Tower (although I could be wrong).
Firefox doesn't support WebGPU on Linux, that's probably why.
Youtuber Marques Brownlee did this (as a short). It's actually not so noticeable, it's only once you get to the very oldest phones that it's visibly worse.
the difference will be in things like low-light, telephoto lenses, video capability, HDR, and lots of other things that don't show up in most photos (including that one)

There's another aspect which none of the FTS search solutions for Postgres do well in my opinion: multi-language support.
For example this one: it doesn't mention support for CJK languages (meaning tokenization for e.g. Chinese will resolve to one token per character, which will technically work and give results, but is inefficient). Also word stemming (databases -> database) is also missing as far as I can see, so the kind of queries where you'd expect related words to show up will be missing. Just doing case-folding and accent-folding is a bit of a functional but bruteforce solution.
Ideally I'd want something that supports:
- language aware tokenization, with ability to define the language per record. Including stemming, etc. And have useful predefined configuration for common languages (e.g. the Postgres built in one is missing many languages).
- CJK support, tokenizing at word boundaries.
- Optional accent- and case-folding.
Most solutions just seem to assume English content, I have not found anything that does all of this yet.
Well, yes - those AI tools output images in aspect ratios which are not those of a typical sheet of paper (16:9, 2:3), which indeed wont't match. "Inches" etc doesn't matter.
You just need to offer the customer either the options of scale-to-fit / fill / stretch (white borders / crop on two edges / stretch), you probably already needed to do that before AI (such as people wanting to print letter-size documents in A4 land).
If you don't want to be responsible for it, another way is to just publish it anonymously: make a GitHub that isn't attached to your real name etc, perhaps using a one-off disposable email address, and put it there. Then you don't have to think about what the lawyers think. Worst case it'll get taken down, but by that point it'll likely be popular enough that there'll be plenty of copies.

Their neutral harness is not very good though, if I read it right, it doesn't preserve the reasoning state between turns. No real harness discards reasoning state like that.
It's quite common in Europe. Usually you get 15 minutes which seems fairly generous.
