How did this work? The ban, I mean. Did you just wake up to find out an email and that your creds no longer worked? Were you doing things to sub-process out to the Claude Code CLI or something else?

Yes, there are advanced weapons. 2nd amendment folks are "outgunned," but it's still an important deterrent, because it makes these kinds of massacres more costly. If the government is hunting these people down, and they have nothing left to lose, they might just take a few with them if they're armed.

"Please note that this dataset is for noncommercial use only" -- quite limiting. Are you planning to create a product?

Would you use a different quant with a 128 GB machine? Could you link the specific download you used on huggingface? I find a lot of the options there to be confusing.

What about multiple notational variations?

1, 2, 3

1,2,3

[1,2,3]

1 2 3

etc.

You're talking about exposing Chrome CDP to the wider internet, right? Or are you highlighting these dangers in the local context?

I am confused by this comment too. I don't recall ever being asked to pay for Netscape. (not that I would have, at 12ish)

"If you were dreaming in Minecraft" is the impression that I get. It feels very much like a dream with the lack of object permanence. Also interesting is light level. If you stare at something dark for a while or go "underwater" and get to the point where the screen is black, it's difficult to get back to anything but a black screen. (I didn't manage it in my one playthrough)

Very odd sensation indeed.

Does something similar exist for LLM/GPT?

Edit to add: I'm mostly interested in this aspect:

"The target audience of this tutorial includes [those] who are interested in [...] applying these models to solve other problems."

Even if it isn't designed this way, it's a welcome benefit to many.

Do you have data on which data is in higher demand? Do you keep a list of frequently-requested datasets?

New comment by redblacktree in "Ask HN: Is it possible to make FAANG salaries without working there?"

redblacktree — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 14:56:04 +0000

That's not how tax brackets work, but it is a common misconception. If you salary goes up, your take-home goes up, full stop.

If you are making $191,950/year (the very top end of the 24% bracket for 2024) you will pay $39,110.50 in federal income tax, (before any deductions) for a net of $152,839.50. (You may notice that this is less than 24%) If you make an additional $1,000/year: $192,950, only the additional $1,000 is taxed at the 32% rate. Which makes your total federal income tax bill $320 more, and improving your net take-home to $153,519.50

Edit to add: I'm disappointed that sibling comments to mine are so degrading. We all had to learn this at some point.

I wasn't thinking that it would be denied. My curiosity was more with respect to how easy or difficult it is to request them.

One example I often run into: Plaid (the bank-linking company) doesn't work. Just hangs. Though I'll admit it's possible they fixed it. I've been trained to use Chrome when I have to interact with it.

I mean, the tense and sinister-sounding violin music helps with that feeling as well.

I don't have first-hand experience, but I own a couple of short-term rentals, and the word on the street in the hosts community is that booking.com (BDC) is full of scammers and not worth the effort to integrate with.

Wim hof, no exercise. (but will do so later, after my normal workout routine)

As others in the thread have said, this may not be any better for my health than N2O, but it's still interesting nonetheless. Probably not something for every day.

Thank you for introducing me to this. Having done just one round, the effects are reminiscent of nitrous oxide. Very interesting indeed! As you suggest, I think I'll try this again after a bout of vigorous exercise.
