I quite liked this, a bit repetitive. Fun fact: these people think that they're responsible for making the sun rise every day. Maybe they are! I guess these are pretty correlated.

I'm always surprised to see HN people saying models aren't good. What are these guys building? The best engineers I know, from startup to big tech admit these models are incredible. Including people I don't know personally, foundational engineers from every area. The average HN person though, is doing some quantum-alien computation that not even the best developers in the world can grasp.

I like the energy of the post a lot! Nice job.

I disagree with the author when they say something along the lines of “why don’t we use buttons instead of using these new assistive technology? Buttons are much faster, and I proved humans like fast.” I think that’s false. Why after 10 years of software development I haven’t learned EMACS? Because I’m lazy, because I don’t think it’s the bottleneck of my work. My bottleneck might be creativity or knowledge and conversational interfaces might be the best thing there are for these (in the lack of a knowledgeable and kind human, which the author also seems to agree with). Anyway, I don’t know, I found the title a bit disconnected from the content and the conclusions a bit overlappingly confusing but this is a complicated question. In the end I agree that we want a mix of things, we want a couple of keyboard strokes and we want chats. But most of all we probably want direct brain interface! ;)

I thought this was going to be about the UV rays from the sun... But it's another python package manager. We're running out of names.

This subthread are among the best comments I've read in this website.

Curious to know what you're using under the hood for the python! I've download the repo and a quick search with "pyodide" didn't return anything.

I wonder why they claim they need this... Tor seems to be doing fine as an organization without collecting user data? Why maintaining Firefox is much more expensive? I guess the codebase for Firefox is much larger and in the end Tor is a fork of Firefox, right? So maybe they do need much more resources? Not to say I'm not disappointed with Mozilla once again.

>And Mozilla leadership is associated with radical left politics, just as an extra.

Do you have proof for this? I'd be curious. I also fail to see how is that related to the collecting data by default thing. Is that a leftist thing now?

This is the best title, OP.

I think this startup-y way of tapping into meditation i pretty silly but also, idk maybe it's the way for us nerds to achieve these things?

I've been meditating pretty consistently for the last year 20 min meditations or more every day and though I've put way more than the time the OP put in trying to achieve jhanas I couldn't even reach the first one. I wonder what I'm missing!

Are you saying it's not rational for me to expect rationalists around here? :P I guess that's reasonable?

It's crazy to see people denying that (meat) factory farming is a problem. You'd expect most of the public of this website to be rationalists in one way or another. Of course factory farming is an aggravating factor for the spread of diseases. Of course we can thrive with less meat consumption or none. How is that even a question?

I wish this was initially disclosed as an opinion piece rather than reading through it and finding it out in the end.

They could use this and a bubble in the site explaining this might be review bombing and show the score of the book disregarding these events. I’ve never understood why people have such a negative opinion on goodreads, though. I guess this is the only thing I know of that makes it bad.

Can you go on and be clearer with what you mean?

I’m really happy that you found a way out of the trafficking life. That was a really nice thing to read and I think a lot of people will resonate with it. (Computer nerds that had tough times in life). I’m wishing you all the best in your fight against addiction and I’m definitely adding Unlocked Labs to my list of donations. Thanks for sharing your story.

>Before you think we are anarchist hippies rejecting all systems and institutions outright, I want to add that we are both “well educated”

This energy... Would rather have Bing educating my children. I guess you've made your point.

This is really cool!

Does anyone know how can I join the org team?

that’s the most stupid shit I ever read in this website congrats

I dont see how this is a problem. its a game of chance to get trending or not, if you have a good interesting project

What a cute story and great writing! <3 Thank you for sharing

I think so too. It'd be amazing to have python to receive this output and do stuff with it as people said in other comments.

>My complaint is really more that for this sort of thing I feel examples should be front and center; Jupyter "sells" a better experience, so show me how easy and ergonomic it is to use!

Hum, I see. I thought you haven't found the binder, sorry. It's a good point! I'll make sure to pay attention on that on the next posts :)

>"main" code. Is this accurate? Is there a way forward in the future to e.g. pull the data down with sql and then do some further munging in another language?

I'm not sure if I follow what you mean with the main code. you mean having access to each individual value of a query result, for example, to be able to manipulate it? if that's what you mean, that's what we receive in the C++ backend code that runs on this kernel. so as long as you can integrate new libraries to this code you'd be able to manipulate the results of your query.

that's pretty amazing work! there have been some efforts in the past to do that: https://github.com/minrk/allthekernels I think it'd be hard to do something like this, but not impossible. Just a lot of work.

it’s depending directly of SOCI. I offer a wrapper around everything they do :)

hey @realityballss, don't really know as I'm not too deep in the SOCI stuff. but we offer full support to SOCI meaning if these folks: https://github.com/SOCI/soci support it and the dependencies exist and work for 32bit, than yes. I'd say it looks a bit like a long shot, but may work.
