True true. But I want to try to stay at the "solopreuership" level for as long as I can pull it off. I would prefer not to have too much influence over other peoples lives.
Same here. I'm currently doing the soloist route as a consultant. Going well but I am reaching a point where I'm starting to need help.
Even if you do end up having the best kind of problem and have to scale your business, there are other ways to organize work besides the same ol' tired hierarchy.
Enspiral is one real-life example I can think of. They're a entrepreneurial collective in New Zealand that has figured out its own way of organizing collaboration in a way without bosses/execs. Seems to be working fine for them. (Other types of worker cooperatives / collectives too, they're just a great example.)
I'd rather dare to try to make something perhaps more difficult at first but that allows me to avoid recreating the types of working conditions that pushed me to leave the rat race.
I've been using this or something similar internally for months and love it. The thing that gets downright spooky is the comments believe it or not. I'll have some method with a short variable name in a larger program and not only does it often suggest a pretty good snippet of code the comments will be correct and explain what the intent behind the code is. It's just a LLM but you really start to get the feeling the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
I just don’t understand how anyone is making practical use of local code completion models. Is there a VS Code extension that I’ve been unable to find? HuggingFace released one that is meant to use their service for inference, not your local GPU.
The instruct version of code llama could certainly be run locally without trouble, and that’s interesting too, but I keep wanting to test out a local CoPilot alternative that uses these nice, new completion models.
There are a bunch of VSCode extensions that make use of local models. Tabby seems to be the most friendly right now, but I admittedly haven't tried it myself: https://tabbyml.github.io/tabby/
I like Apollo but I ended up having to install the official reddit app because most times if you google something on Mobile, it just doesn't open Apollo and tries to install the official one :/
They have an extension now for that reason, you enable it and automatically opens in Apollo (iirc the catch is to make sure the allow option is set to the reddit domain, not leaving it on "ask"). No more dealing with the purposefully downgraded mobile web page or the official reddit app.
Thanks. I tried it, but really don’t want a lot of apps as my phone doesn’t have much storage. And I like having a shared bookmark list for web sites. I appreciate simplicity and one less app means one less update schedule, one less UI, etc etc.
Reddit is exactly why the web was invented so using an app just makes me feel a little sad when one of the big benefits of html was that you wouldn’t need custom clients for everything.
The big problem with Apollo is it's so good that it makes me spend way more time on reddit. I've installed and removed it many times. I happily paid for Ultra the day he started offering it because I appreciate the work that went into making it that smooth and useful.
Just be careful about paying for the (one time fee) Pro Apollo at this point. Reddit just changed their API terms and that app may stop working soon-ish without a monthly subscription.
Dorms are pretty unique. A bunch of people same age, going through same experience, in a shared living space. I'd be interested in how this is replicated in a medium-sized city.
There’s an apartment building in my town that works that way - shared bathroom and kitchen and common spaces, with personal bedrooms. My buddy used to live there, it was kind of organized as artist housing, there was a ton of resident art up in the halls and on the grounds - wouldn’t work for me, I need control over my space, but he made the most of it. Helped that it was cheap, and he was a portrait photographer, I think.
Personally, I prefer the "approval" process of YubiKey/U2F devices over having to enter a code, but I also dislike having to have a hardware device on me at all times. Also, with WebAuthN and passwordless login, YubiKeys are now able to be used to authenticate people, so I figure it would be nice to have a software solution for that.
Granted, this is still just a demo, so it's a long way off from something somebody would regularly use.
this might help w/ adoption. it would be _really nice_ to use FIDO, but I don't want to restrict my usability to people willing to carry a key around. as a compromise I think having a weaker key is better than having paths where pki is disabled
But Heroku also had a major GitHub integration that devolved into CVE which could not be fixed for about a month (among other bad news parts of that story, such as lying about the scope and slow walking the disclosures, that all seemed to just get worse.)
This is ostensibly all the result of the brain drain after SalesForce acquisition has set in. It's a death spiral.
Why would you pay extra and deal with the additional headache of being screened/having to enter your private data if you could just take the more convenient and largely anonymous train for under a $100? A train where you are not squeezed into the seat like a sardine?
I am personally also really uncomfortable with the notion that you have to pay an additional convenience fee just to have a mildly more pleasant travel experience. Coach class should not mean that you are cattle.
People in coach can still use PreCheck. Work only pays for economy tickets, so I can tell you PreCheck still works fine.
Also, FYI there are two price levels for TSA screening. One is the TSA PreCheck, the other is the 9/11 security fee everyone has to pay. A universal PreCheck would probably mean increasing the security fee.
Clear is one step too far to paying for freedom. Global entry money at least goes to one gang I already pay protection money to, the government. Clear is a non government gang that somehow got the ability to get paid in exchange for giving people more freedom.
When you buy it from the government, at least there is a veneer of it having come from democratically elected leaders and going back to a pot of resources that are democratically spent.
As in there was zero reason for the government to give Clear a cut of the money, other than outright corruption. They already have the department of homeland security.
Getting to/from the airport is the much larger headache than security in a lot of places, especially in NYC. Even if you're willing to pay $50-$100 each way for a car, it's not always easy to get a car and it's a long drive. It takes almost no time for Manhattanites to get to a train and costs virtually nothing.
And into what little database are my deets being entered for eternity by using either of these options, and to whom does the visibility to this data go?
I can see it for Part C, but why A and B? If someone's been charged and done whatever was required to be free enough that they can fly, then that should be the end of it. Especially things on that list. If treason isn't enough for the government to execute them or lock them up and throw away the key, then it shouldn't matter to the TSA.
If you can’t see how felony conviction for having illegal explosives might reasonably preclude you from reduced security screening, I’m not sure anything I can say will convince you.
If you can't see how the government continuing to treat someone like a criminal after they've paid their debt to society is wrong, I'm not sure anything I can say will convince you.
Are they being treated like a criminal in this case? Or are they merely being treated as requiring standard (not reduced) security screening?
I’m far more concerned where felons are denied the right to vote or to bear arms than I am with them having to stand in the same security line as most people.
Can you not buy anonymous tickets, for example at a counter in the station or from a machine?
There are still enough machines that take cash that this is a practical option in most of Europe. Buying a ticket in advance works, but requires a trip to the station.
