Amazing concept, if I may ask what are your usage costs for say 5 minutes of browsing for a single user on reddit?
Ask HN: Is there scientific consensus on how to manage screen time?
I Have been researching a lot recently and I am struggling to find clear guidelines on how to approach screen time with children.There are some good rules I found on how to handle food (Parents are responsible for the what, when, and where of feeding and children are responsible for the how much and whether of eating).But the screen time advice seems to conflict this approach somewhat. I often...
Re:EU countries must implement right to repair laws within two years
on Friday May 31, 2024 @05:48AM (#40533091)
I believe this is done partially to dissuade bad actors from gaining easy unverifiable access to hardware and software thus rendering anti theft technology ineffective. If you mandate all repairs to be done using a verifiable (and paid for) repair key which you supply to vetted people, it becomes that much harder to replace the anti theft module as a common thief. Even large scale operations would then be harder to run as they would require a fence of sorts to use as a repairman. Of course that fence would then risk their credentials and so on...

Slow integration actually being enforced by uncomfortable laws is the only way we get to enjoy diversity and multiculturalism. The friction is otherwise too large. I would personally like an utopia where we all magically get along no matter the culture, race, ethnicity etc. but the real world is a different pair of shoes.

I know it's not practical because of select few bad apples, but giving a year's notice to the affected people, letting them finish up the work and mentally prepare, and all the while coaching them through the process of finding a new job seems like a humane thing to do.

I always thought about the public discourse regarding wars in general
Let's say the majority of the population is simply 'anti war' and focus on these people.
Is it not sufficient to support this message?
Does not with with us = against us actually apply to wars (or maybe this particular war)
Wonder what your thoughts on this are.

An interesting solution to the blind spot error (taken directly from Jeremy Howard's amazing guide to language models
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkrNMKz9pWU) is to erase the chat history and try again. Once GPT has made an error (or as the author of this article says, the early layers have irreversibly pruned some important data), it will very often start to be even more wrong.

Re:Inclusive community activists are harming FOSS

I believe that people that advocate banning people with extreme and/or dangerous viewpoints from public forums and communities also don't want child rapists and murderers to be rehabilitated.
In my experience this is a relatively strong percentage pf people, which affects everyone, irrespective of the viewpoint axis.
In this case, we have an example of a sjw/progressive viewpoint person which does not believe in 'those' people having any food left in them.

Even if such a law were to exist, to be able to enforce it you'd need to abandon the idea of free internet.

If we keep the internet free and anonymous, there is no way to stop people from reading your public data and using it however they want to.
That being said, put it in the ToS and pray for the best.
Re:Show HN: The Coinbase FOMO Calculator
on Tuesday June 14, 2022 @09:47AM (#31739456)
The difference between gambling and crypto is in the timelines. Gambling has a high frequency where crypto is quite a bit lower. This allows some lucky people to 'exit the casino' by the virtue of being lucky enough to have won the bet, and being pressured somehow to cash out and not continue gambling. For some, it is a birth of a child, perhaps a purchase decision etc. Low frequency allows for these events to take place, betting on horses does not.
Ask HN: Am I misunderstanding quantum mechanics?
What I've gathered from my limited reading and research is the following:1. The universe is fundamentally infinite and continuous, both on a macro and micro scale (infinitely large, and infinitely divisible)2. Observation on a scale currently available to humanity interprets the continuous and infinite as finite and quantifiable - some information is lost in the process. A piece of reality we...

Re:Why Quantum Mechanics?
on Friday January 28, 2022 @07:19AM (#30113700)
I'd go as far as to offer an explanation like this: The universe/multiverse is infinite in every (by our brains) comprehensible and incomprehensible form. Both on a macro and a micro level. Our existence is finite in nature, both in space dimension (objects have edges) and time (they change form). It is understandable we have trouble interpreting some of the rules of our universe that we are unable to comprehend. I say quantum mechanics (and perhaps natural science in general) are our attempt to make sense of something fundamentally not comprehensible.

I agree. Async communication is hard. Humans are not equipped for this. We are limited in our focus and prioritization ability. It is the same reason calling someone on the phone gets you results and information 10x faster.

Thank you for the followup.
Just to clarify, you use your personal blog domain to stage websites for customers? That is an interesting use case. It does project your brand, since you are on your own infrastrucuture (at least visually, you still probably use a hosting provider) instead of github/heraku/etc
