perhaps the users should be allowed to install whatever they want on the devices they own? this "security" narrative google spews is weak, considering how much malware fails to be detected by play store

What about hosting your own instance of SearXNG?

Sweet! Sounds like an amazing project for university students and they managed to prove that this can become a reality. Hopefully this will be the kick in the butt that auto manufacturers need to take solar power into consideration and that it'll go much faster than fossil fuel to EV transition.

Thanks for sharing the paper! <3 I've been meaning to implement something like this for organizing my tools in boxes and obviously I will choose the overkill solution for sorting screwdrivers and power tools

Thanks! I wasn't aware of this, sounds like a dystopic horror story in the making :|

What did OpenAI do? I know they refused to share their proprietary model even though they're called "Open", is this what you're referring to?

I have to apologise, it seems a bug snuck in and duplicate facts might pop up on occasion. I will fix it ASAP :)

do you have any plans to share your smart RSS reader with the community, or is it a perma-private project?

Show HN: Daily octopus facts – a simple low tech project

NoobPretender — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 16:41:08 +0000

I'm excited to share a recent project, tentacles.love, a simple low-tech website that presents a new fact about octopuses every day. My fascination with these intelligent creatures inspired me to create a website where people can learn something new about them every day.

The technology and design of the website are straightforward and minimalistic, as I wanted to keep things as simple as possible. Every day at 00:00 UTC, a script updates the website's HTML with a random octopus fact. This script is triggered daily via crontab. Simple :)

You're apologetic now only after this thing blew up on the internet. Mister hyper-inflated ego CEO wouldn't have thought twice about apologising if your ex-intern wouldn't have made the issue public. Get bent, mate and try selling your bullshit somewhere else.

Use that "lot of money" to get top PR instead of "top lawyers", and maybe some "getting head out of ass" classes, cause humility and decency is something clearly you won't be able to learn.
