Maintainability is much easier on a well working cloud setup from people who have potentially less knowledge.

One company had 6 servers and used AWS snapshot for backup + managed MySQL.

Backup and recovery of that db is possible by more people in the team as if it would run as non managed service.


If this is true it's a choice the Indian person has to make.

Doesn't change any potential mistreatment of workers in catar.

Catar needs to be measured by modern worker protection laws or standards.


> Catar needs to be measured by modern worker protection laws or standards.

But why? Western countries with modern worker protection laws would never grant visas to these people. Qatar lets them in by the millions.

How is this supposed to be a reasonable comparison?


We don't create those visas because we don't build tons of things and have our workforce.

How is this any reason to accept bad working conditions?

They are a rich and relativ modern country

I discovered that my Android phone can now print directly without Google cloud print when in the same wifi.


Yes but what I used to was to print, online receipts, invoices, etc. In my mothers house. That way I could help her.

Or ask a friend for his color printer and send stuff there.


I have had depression for years.

Slowly creeping in.

Last year three things happened:

1. I got a light antidepressants

2. I switched from smoking weed with tabacco to without tabacco

3. I took ecstasy for the first time

Number one lifted my mood. Number two reduced my lethargic and number three Reminded me how it feels to be happy and it gave me back human empathy as well.

I was wearing glasses for a long time and that always made the idea of needing help for my brain easy to accept. Why do I accept that wearing glasses is normal and just necessary but my brain has to work 'normal enough' without help?

On a side note though: mote depressed you get the less you have to loose anyway right? After all hard depression leads to doing nothing and thriving to end it. You need to realize that this mental state already gives you the chance to do whatever you want.

After all if you really fuck it up, you still are at the same point of ending your life.

Good luck!


> I took ecstasy for the first time

The middle part of PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) talks about successfully using MDMA for treatment. Interesting book. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30827112


Absolutely true.

I still want to comment because your comment doesn't do that demo justice.

It's the first time I expierienced that awkward feeling looking into reality while watching the video of that city.

We are Eye opening close to cross over uncanny valley after reaching it that soon.


Weird that Elon musk would do something like this

I assumed he would optimize how he spends his time.

He mentioned once that he sometimes sleeps/slept at the factory.

I had a similar thought on Putin: as long as the war is ongoing he has less time to do other things.

When Biden took over trump I also thought that bidens team might be able to do more change than the trump team because he fired so many and golfed often.


This is just a 2022 version of a billionaire buying a newspaper. Not shocking.


To do what?

A newspaper I get. Forming opinions is easy with a newspaper.

But with twitter? Manipulating Twitter trends? Who cares?


You realize twitter is most likely far more powerful at shaping opinion than any single newspaper? Fox News Facebook and Twitter are probably among the top 5 such mind control outlets. I am not on Twitter but I am motivated to research the reach Twitter has vs the TV networks, the major news papers and the bigger social networks which of course dwarf what we used to call MainStream Media.


Might be time to revisit some of those assumptions then?


Of course.

I posted it though to share my thoughts. This made me realize that Elon musk takes twitter much more serious than I thought.


I love my USBc with hub setup.

Sure this is relatively new and a ton of hubs are shit but this will only become better.

I can use my Anker mini dock on my laptop, switch and Samsung s22.


Quality is another factor which often gets overlooked when talking about if something is worth to automate.

Manual things can create mistakes.

This particular number from Olaf might not be critical if it is off by a few countsother workflows are.


Wow.

The anti joke explanation was also very impressive.


This may be the most impressive thing I've seen a language model do so far. That's incredible. The future is going to be very weird.


The future is going to be very short.

What this says to me is that there is no general-intelligence task that language models cannot scale to.


Apparently Data (from Star Trek) was less capable of understanding jokes.


The chair looks awesome!

Can't wait :)

I digitized my flat with an m1 ipad and that looks already okay.

It's funny to see the flat layout after doing the 3d scan. An interesting way to persistent the flat memory.
