collaborative··on 2023: Focusing on a single product pays off
Wish I could edit my comment as I see it has triggered many responses. To me, the effort of closing a deal to sell something that's not losing money isn't worth $10,000. I'd rather keep it alive and let users enjoy it. If I'm losing money, that's a different story, of course. But since selling on Acquire tops at $10,000, I decide that it's not worth my time. I might think differently if instead of $10,000 it was $100,000. That would pay off part of my mortgage. But having to do KT, sign documents, consult with lawyers, do loads of admin for $10,000? No way. I am almost offended
collaborative··on Will scaling work?
LLMs are still too expensive to run and therefore can't be supported by ads. If costs get lower we'll see them being pushed _a lot_ more

Would you sell thousands of your man hours for 10,000 dollars?
collaborative··on Phi-2: The surprising power of small language models
yup
collaborative··on Using Qt for Mobile in 2023
>Being able to share UI and code on Android and iOS is still a desire for many developers. As hinted throughout the post, I think React Native may be the only other possible contender.

I have been a codenameone developer for 8 years now. On Android you run java and on ios you run static c which comes from the java code itself

Shai Almog and Steve Hannah have done a great job at making cn1 a comprehensible platform to develop on mobile. All the issues listed on this post are covered (scrolling with inertia, Android file system updates, etc)

I don't know how successful cn1 is in terms of users but I wish it were more popular on places like HN where React Native/Flutter is the bread and butter

collaborative··on Why do programmers need private offices with doors?
>the CEO wants to see everyone sweating

In all seriousness, sweating is the biggest factor for me. My clothes smell so much nicer ever since I began working from home

collaborative··on PostgreSQL 16 Bi-Directional Logical Replication
Everyone in the thread including myself were thinking about failover and scale applications, but your post is the right answer
collaborative··on The "Cheap" Web
Once upon a time side bars and tool bars were made up of iframes that could talk to each other. Those sites wouldn't work today for "security reasons"
collaborative··on Phi-2: The surprising power of small language models
Yes, the reason I asked is that when I see SLM I got all excited thinking "finally a small model that fits in cheap hardware for simpler tasks"
collaborative··on Phi-2: The surprising power of small language models
Can't access the model link due to sone MS auth issue. Does anyone know how large (in GB) the model is? Can it be run locally or is it azure-only?
collaborative··on Spain expels two US spies for infiltrating secret service
Spain is largely a vassal state of the US but also of Germany. As such, it depends on these countries for most of its intelligence. It would be counter productive for Spain to refuse cooperation given its membership of EU and NATO. Spain is on the firing line of NATO's "enemies" because of its relatively weak state, so it would be very audacious of Spain to betray its masters. Spain's political class certainly wouldn't have the appetite for it
collaborative··on Privacy is priceless, but Signal is expensive
FB only wanted whatsapp to preempt a potential competitor. They are happy to give the service for free (at a loss)

There is no room for monetization because of FB. In other words, you can't compete with a monopoly, even if you are in a different business. They simply take all

collaborative··on Privacy is priceless, but Signal is expensive
Typical HN comment saying I will pay $ for xyz feature (which everyone, including the poster, knows to be BS)
collaborative··on Australia's overuse of antibiotics driving rate of drug-resistant infections
I am a person with a history of pleuro pneumonia. Doctors holding out on antibiotics twice nearly took my life (not exagerating, this was said by doctors)

It's very hard for me to get antibiotics and at the same time I have a high chance of getting nasty bacterial infections with each cold. The last infection 2 years ago has caused me to have a permanent cough. Just wish antibiotics weren't so vilified, they actually serve a purpose. Why can't we reduce use in livestock first?

There are plenty of traditional corpos hiring for .net roles but not many startups choose it as their stack
collaborative··on .NET 8
Not sure if it suits your use case, but the best I have experienced is jDeploy
collaborative··on Nepal bans TikTok and says it disrupts social harmony
Nuh, dont want to use shame for that. Only for things like stopping 5 year olds from showing their private parts in class. Cant even do that anymore
collaborative··on .NET 8
I wish that CodenameOne could have been the norm instead of Electron. Unfortunatrly, its desktop port never matched its mobile one in terms of functionality (still uses JavaFX for web views). I still prefer it over Electron where web views are not required i.e. nowhere
collaborative··on .NET 8
Java and Python have a few. I still don't get how electron got so popular. It's always been pretty straightforward to ship an app with a self-contained Java runtime, much the same as electron ships with v8. Java GUIs have always been worse than c++ ones, but still.. much better than electron I'd say
collaborative··on Nepal bans TikTok and says it disrupts social harmony
I will join you in being downvoted. Social shaming is necessary. We need to hold each other accountable or future generations wont stand a chance

Also, shame is a language everyone understands. All ages

collaborative··on Apple might have to pay that €13B EU tax bill after all
Europe is fine the way it is. Nations should be sovereign and common economic policy should be policed via fines such as this one. Hopefully this way corpos will learn that tax dodging in Europe is counter productive

Trying to fix this via fiscal union leads to more brexits

I try not to link because it bothers me when people accuse me of self promoting. It's in the profile :)
collaborative··on As the public begins to believe Google isn’t as useful, what happens to SEO?
Traffic to our anti-SEO search engine has quadrupled in the past month but we're still losing money

Hard to beat ad-supported search

collaborative··on YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin
Thx.. Almost didn't want to know. One step closer to wearing a tin hat now

Ps. Now I am curious why you are getting downvoted. Are people here in favor of this type of thing? I wouldn't be surprised either at this point

collaborative··on Home schooling's rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education
You are right, the problem isn't 100% on the schools or the politicians, it's probably both. And I agree that no public money should go to private schools, nor the press for that matter. At the end of the day power resides in the politicians, so they are the ones most at fault (+voters). A hard problem to fix when you have to vote for option A or option B
collaborative··on Home schooling's rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education
I find it a bit far fetched to suggest that these private religious schools have enough influence to change laws and get tax dollars

The much simpler explanation is that having influence over private schools is very tempting for the govt and the easiest tool is via giving or retaining funding which they don't personally have to pay. They just want to secure votes and influence
