I often think that the reason why PHP is still so popular compared to Perl is because php never stopped evolving.
If php had paused development or even slowed it down like this it would also have been far less popular as probably even frameworks like Symfony and Laravel won't be possible with the older versions of php.
So thank you to the maintainers but I wish Perl evolved more quickly like PHP.
I feel that for music. During my teenage years I used to listen to the same songs over and over on my walkman. I still remember 99% lyrics to the whole albums. The music used to have such a strong connection.
Nowadays there are 1000+ songs in my playlist I can't even recollect 20% lyrics nor there is a chance in hell that I would listen to every single song on the entire album let alone every single song by tthe same artist.
It's like if I don't like the first 10 seconds, it's hide song and Spotify makes sure I never have to listen to that again. Even though some of my all time favorites are songs I hated at first but then there was no hide song button.
Sorry I digress but yeah the connections you make in childhood are really something. I just hope it's my age and not the technology responsible for this and the youth of today feel the same connection too.
Very nice. Since Hn data spawns so many such fun projects, there should be a monthly or weekly updates zip file or torrent with this data, which hackers can just download instead of writing a scraper and starting from scratch all the time.
The company I work for absolutely must have everyone using it as it's supposed to be much safer to Windows. So I had to spend over $2k for a stupid laptop that won't even run half the apps without hacks like Rosetta. I also hate that there are 3 special keys and command and ctrl are separated.
I am myself a Linux user and using a Mac makes me appreciate Linux so much more. It could be the #1 reason I want to start my own business so I don't have to use a Mac anymore.
On one hand I agree that this should be flagged and taken off homepage (as it is right now), but. Otoh more people need to be aware of such scams and simply not trust reddit, hn, etc as good source of information anymore.
I have been seeing this guy David Sinclair a lot in my Youtube feed lately with raving reviews. But after reading your comment did a bit of research and my god what a scam(1).
There is so much misinformation and gaming going on in every industry and with A.I. generated content it's going to get so much easier.
Thanks for sharing this link. My god there is something about this writing style that's just incredibly entertaining to read.
Most of the time I get so bored reading such long articles, like the New Yorker ugh. But this is the first time I've enjoyed such a lengthy read! I hope I can decrypt what the author is doing to make reading such fun.
Is there survivor bias in being stuck? We have accepted that people who leap out of their comfort zone end up always successful. But a lot of time this is not true. I know few people who have regretted jumping and making impulsive decision in the name of growth.
Wow this is super impressive but does somebody know a way to generate consistent characters with stable diffusion?
What I mean is if my first prompt is a girl talking to cat and second prompt is girl playing with that cat, I want the girl and cat to be the same in both pictures.
Is that possible? If so any links or tutorials will be super helpful to learn.
Serious question but does anyone get any value out of these threads? Most of the time it just devolves into hundreds of comments with links to random projects hoping to get traffic.
I think to make it more worthwhile people posting here please write a little about your tech stack, why you made it, what are your struggles, and tips for other founders, etc.
How does one learn about this stuff? I learned about basic networking in college (the TCP layers) etc but people doing such stuff sounds like Greek to me.
If I want to learn more about what the author is doing, is there a resource like a udemy course or YouTube channel you guys can recommend?
I would definitely be willing to pay to try it out and provide feedback in addition. I'm genuinely surprised by this news.
