> do we need to read all those book, articles, podcasts, documentaries to be good

Books will only get you so far. You have to do the work. It's not our thoughts and brilliant ideas, it's our actions which matter in the end. Did you execute?

Fastmail, primarily for their 'masked e-mail' feature for signups where I don't want to hand out my main e-mail. I recently cancelled a sub to Tuta because their pricing increased and I would much prefer their old $12/year instead of $36/year. I might consider going with Tuta again though.

> Today, billionaires and middle-class everyday people use the same phones

Don't assume the rich have just one phone. It is common to compartment with several different phones for different purposes. One you only give to family/friends, another for strictly business topics, another for social media, another for giving out publicly on business cards, and the list goes on.

Well if the LLM is closed and proprietary, there is no insight into how training data is even used. It's just a black-box we have to use blindly and 'hope' the designers are using a blend of fine-tuning coupled with better training data.

It's still 'live by the market, die by the market', IPO'd or not.

Say what you want about 'booter' services, but a DDoS of a particular web presence has been a long standing weapon of dissidents/activists who want certain services taken down, even if only briefly. It's the only means of online protest we have, short of simply sending an e-mail to a hosting service asking for certain content to be taken down, or DMCA'ing them.

Edit: The real pros don't use Booter-as-a-Service sites, they infect a bunch of IoT devices using tools they made themselves and hammer a specific IP or range of IPs.

> In an ideal world, such efficient folks like yourself would invest a few hours per day working hard, but then spend the rest of the day in a lazy glory

I detest laziness. There's only so much 'Netflix and Chill' a person can do, and after lazing around, I actually feel drained, rather than energized. You would think that laziness gives you energy, but it saps it instead. I guess this is because we're all human in the end, wired to be productive and working on at least one problem.

Hi Hackernews! This is a little project I made in my free time. It's a fun and whimsical parody of Hacker News. I wanted to experiment with Faker.js and other JS libraries.

It randomly generates Hackernews headlines. You get new results each time you refresh the page. I spent about 4 days making this, and learned a lot in the process, and it was my first open source side project in a long time.

It was inspired by This Person Does Not Exist and other 'Does Not Exist' projects which you can find here: https://thisxdoesnotexist.com/

If you spot any bugs or have any ideas on maybe how to improve it, post your thoughts here.

The source code can be found on GitHub, where it's hosted:

https://github.com/coxomb/This-Hacker-News-Does-Not-Exist/tr...

I hope you enjoy the project :)
