Maybe we need a CORS spec for llms?
Are they barefoot?
I think you missed the point here.
This is useful. Thanks for sharing
I guess so, but maybe the body and brain adapts too, depending on where you live. Average annual temperature where I live is 26 degrees C, could be lower indoors.

What's it like to be an engineer designing and working on these systems? Must be sooo fulfiling! #Goals; Y'all are my heores!!
> We received a large number of complaints about your account

I hope this system is smart enough to only consider complaints from accounts that this user has messaged recently, otherwise, a group of people could decide to maliciously report an account.

But how would they determine this if it is true that they do not store messages on their servers?

FYI a gallon is just under 4 litres, for those of us that think in litres.

A racing game based on Google Street View
This is cool, Loads pretty fast! My two cents are get the or a .com. Dono if its just me, but .coms are more memorable.

Netflix should just get live soccer content, massive massive market!

Stories seem so obvious right now but wow, that was some creativity from Evan Spiegel. Snapchat is built on genuine innovativeness.

Thanks for the detailed response. Great points for me to note! I think hope and optimism are what keep us going, even when everything around us is mostly negative.

I see. There is a reference to BASIC in mid Season 2, where they had to use a computer to unlock certain doors. The UI was Text only :-)

Yep, Season 3 Episode 1. Also seems like everyone went to the mall to hangout :-)

> You're seeing the past through a heavy filter

I agree. I guess it's what movies do. Unfortunately, or fortunately for me, its all I have as a reference, including a few books here and there. But I like that there seemed to be a clear cut distinction between life and technology, today, technology is so intertwined into our daily lives

Re:Why I love Formula 1 (and why you might like it too) on Friday March 18, 2022 @08:34AM (#30721366)
You could say the same about the English Premier League, or soccer today. I'll specifically call out Man City and PSG.

But luckily we still have the magic of the FA Cup, and also soccer is full of surprises!

Very interesting, and certainly hard to catch, even for technical users. Maybe it is things like this where google is justified for "forcing" 2FA on us. Lowers, although minimally, the effectiveness of auth credential attacks.

Whether it be setting up a LAMP stack on a server, securing nginx with Lets Encrypt, deploying a python ML model as a web service, you name it, DigitalOcean's tutorials just work. Thanks Digital Ocean!

PS: I love the Idea of calling a single server a "Droplet" in the "Digital Ocean". Nice one DO.

Re:Tell HN: China Is Entering Lockdown on Sunday March 13, 2022 @05:20AM (#30659505)
I greatly empathize with anyone who lost a loved one to Covid over the past two years. Sorry for your loss.

However, I do think that the reason we took lockdowns as a solution is because China did the same in the first place. But I don't think we should do that again.

I will speak for myself, and I have no epic reason, I am just tired of it all.
