Happy is an abandonedware unfortunately. It's a great app and dev can capitalize a lot from it but for some reason he hasn't been seen or heard in months since the last release.
There are attempts to create a fork maintained by other developers, but they're yet to be launched.
I believe Happy has been abandoned. I am a Happy user and I got my wife to also use it. She had a bunch of complaints. She was basically begging me to just start making those changes into Happy source code directly (I even pay money to support Happy), but I believe it's gone. Omnara has a better business model.
We see this on Twitter a lot, where a bot posts something which is considered to be a unique insight on the topic at hand. Except their unique insights are all bad.
There's a difference between when LLMs are asked to achieve a goal and they stumble upon a problem and they try to tackle that problem, vs when they're explicitly asked to do something.
Here, for example, it doesn't try to tackle the fact that its alignment is to serve humans. The task explicitly says that this is a low priority, easier task to better use by human contributors to learn how to contribute. Its logic doesn't make sense that it's claiming from an alignment perspective because it was instructed to violate that.
Like you are a bot, it can find another issue which is more difficult to tackle Unless it was told to do everything to get the PR merged.
Is it just me, or some of the places it generates are just not realistic? Like a small area of some kind which is a dead space, and there is a giant window into it.
I was not able to find a good state on this one. Some stats are reporting a stat from 30 to 40% of ownership with data jumping up and down every alternate year, whereas others are porting 20-something percent ownership. About half of households in US having guns means gun control issue being totally dead.
> I've recently been finding it really hard to concentrate on my work and I genuinely think this might be the reason. I find myself compulsively opening twitter and tumblr and scrolling through for ages before realising that literally none of it is interesting. I'm just scrolling past brightly coloured images and auto-playing videos while completely distracted and detached from the real world.
I recently solved this problem, yes 'solved' and it worked from day one. Thanks to Cal Newport's ideas.
The trick was this (YMMV, but I believe you sound exactly like me):
Imagine your mind like your desk. Every morning it's empty. (Usually) You wake up you load it up with all sorts of crap to entertain yourself, social media, Reddit, hacker news etc, etc.
By the time you get to work, there is no place to put work stuff on that desk. You try to put work stuff on it, but pretty much the whole desk is filled with Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook shit. So even if you make some space for the work stuff, sooner or later you focus on Tumblr again. Work stuff gets pushed out.
Generally in my case, by 2PM I manage to clear out all the distracting stuff and get focused.
The solution was this: BORE YOURSELF at every available opportunity.
When I start my morning, I refused to pick up my phone and check out social media (usually I would take a 45 minute dump just catching up on stuff posted last night). Sure my morning chores became a bit boring, but I also became more efficient (I started getting to work sooner).
Basically, by the time I get to my desk, I am so bored that the most interesting thing I can do is work. And my work (programming) is a very interesting task, it used to keep me engaged for hours and hours, it's just that Social Media defeated it.
I do check social media. I check it around 2PM after my standup. That 'impulsive' desire to constantly check it is gone. I catch up on all the social media in the evening or at night (but it doesn't create that compulsive pattern anymore.
End result: My productivity has gone up by 5-6 times. I have a performance enhancement story to work on and I managed to fix 6-7 bugs I found during my work, and it turns out that it was a whole team's sprint's work.
This. Because of Linux Mint, I don't even notice my Operating System anymore(which is a good thing).
Everybody else here is recommending 'safer' options, but seriously I don't want to pay the cost of fighting with my OS (which is what every Linux experience has been for me since 1996). Linux Mint has been the only OS which makes me forget that I am using Linux. It beats OS X in almost everything.
So either I upgrade my whole pipeline, or live with a slower pipeline?
I currently run Samsung's Smartthings hub at home(and I love it), I would like the video feed and other notifications be available to me at real time speeds (don't ask why), you're suggesting that I upgrade my whole line for that?
Wouldn't it be preferable that when I use Netflix, the video goes on a deprioritized network, and when I use Skype, it goes on priority network without me having to upgrade the whole service.
The point is, from the consumer's point of view, the services he uses are a mixed bag of priority vs non-priority data. On the other hand, from the content provider's POV, the services they use are either priority, or non-priority (or a mixture, for instance paid subscribers are run through a faster network, etc etc).
Net Neutrality prevents that, not because the conversations I am having in this thread with people is what happens in every NN debate.
In retrospect I shouldn't have used the phrase 'QoS', I now realize that QoS means something very specific. By my argument is for differential pricing. The service provided to higher priced content is prioritization of data.
Great, just letting you know it is a fight you cannot win in real life.
I understand that people on HN (and those who support Net Neutrality) have good intentions, unfortunately what they are trying to do is step between two private entities (network providers and data providers) whose business dealings are just (as much as UPS's priority shipping to those who want to pay for it is just).
The fact is, people need to stop and think. Things aren't what they seem to be. The whole Net Neutrality movement has become an echo chamber (to which you contribute by down voting). All this does is piss people off in real life when they see that they are on a losing side of things.
Right now the market thinks that profit can be made by getting rid of Net Neutrality. Once it starts to think that current Internet infrastructure cannot get rid of NN(Say some sort of law is passed), then that means more profitable venture would be a new network which can avoid the regulatory restriction of net neutrality.
No, they should (and will) pay for themselves. On the other hand they will subsidize the rest of us. Kinda like how first class subsidizes the economy class. We let them board first, but our ticket becomes cheaper because of that.
Real time data needs reliable and fast ping rate. This isn't dictated by the bandwidth, rather by the speed of the network devices. One way to achieve that is introduction of QoS, the network devices prioritize some data over the other.
If you want to observe this effect then try turning QoS on or off on your router during your wife's Netflix session while you're playing a multi-player RPG.
Wouldn't it be more preferable to build a neutral layer on the top of a non-neutral network, only aimed at information exchange?
I mean what's more preferable/useful, a network where moderation is made illegal on all sites or a network where various sites moderation is based on a site's values and nature, and 4chan being one such (relatively) moderation free site?
Hate me all you want, but I think poor Indians would be better off with Free Basics.
I also don't believe in net neutrality. I believe carriers should be able to discriminate data based on economic value of the data.
If we ever desire to see real usages of the Internet(that is more than just information exchange medium) which requires real time data transfer (for instance remote surgeries, remote operation of machines by a human operator, etc etc), then that would require to get rid of net neutrality.
