And at least save us the pain of trying to scroll through the bs intro. Just put the 10 or whatever bullet points right there.

He was appalled and said, “but that’s a lot more work for us.”

This made me really, really angry.

Why would yc fund them given how obvious the risk is ? Esp since a Mac mini farm is capital intense.

I really think people should learn first and primarily from books written by people. Think about it: the LLMs are trained on that data. So they cannot actually be better than the best original texts. Get good quality original books then learn them in conjunction with AI, but don't try to learn using this. How to downvote?

So two different parts of the state use favoured journalists as methods to publicise information that they could not make public directly. When they do this they also get to shape the framing.

What a rather unpleasant business.

Guy couldn’t even bother to write his own damn post mortem. My goodness. No wonder they got owned by the ai.

If you cared so bad you could make your own evals.

Doh. I went in expecting a really cool thesis — because the idea seems somehow intuitive, or at least really intriguing. But I have no clue what I read. Just totally odd and unconvincing. Greenland? Dialectal substrate? The idea is still super intriguing to me though!

Isn’t that a completely bizarre metric though in this instance??! It is specifically the revenue generating arm of the government. If it wasn’t running at a “surplus” that would be very concerning indeed.

Kinda… funny? that one in this position could not just blurt out “they offered the most”?

Best thing about windows and biggest thing I miss. Have never been able to find equivalent for Mac — stuff that comes close but really not quite the magic of Everything. Same w Total Commander. Sad!

So could this safely be used on Tailscale then ? I’m very curious though also a bit paranoid.

Gives you a randomised domain name for your service so it’s not exposed to the internet on the url that has already been publicly exposed.

Hey really recommend using a big long random string in that URL, because as you will have read above TAILNET NAMES ARE PUBLIC. You can find them here: https://crt.sh/?Identity=ts.net [warning, this will probably crash browser if you leave it open too long -- but you can see it's full of tailnet domains].

So anyway try it like:

tailscale funnel --set-path=/A8200B0F-6E0E-4FE2-9135-8A440DB9469D http://127.0.0.1:8001 or whatever

I use uuidgen and voila.

Have been down this path and just realised: I get the same result and a lot less of a hassle by just using bash scripts and brewfile etc.

Making a change with home manager became a whole thing.

Now I’m back on the happy path and it’s great. The LLMs can also move things over very fast.

My remaining uses of nix are just devbox which is a very palatable wrapper and nicer to use than flakes.

This looks like a tidy little out of the box fts system. I’d use it as a tantivy interface basically. And I’d pay for it if it had good and simple document ingestion and metadata search semantics. Not the intended use case really but this doesn’t exist.

Wouldn’t it be trivial for serious criminals - like cartels etc - to just use different vehicles?
