designium··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
This is like sci-fi thing. We are reaching a point where it feels like we are in one of those stories. It's not as cool and dark, nor we have cybernetics resolved, but from AI perspective and sci-fis I watched, Pantheon is currently the closest thing except instead of UAs, we have AI instead.
designium··on Lucasart's Afterlife
I still play once a year. But now I can reach full omnibulges and love domes in less than an hour. But I remember spending months to survive until I discovered the cheat code (btw if you use too much, it triggers something that I can’t remember, it can mess up the game as a punishment).

The I figured out to let the planet evolve and grow it’s population because then, your afterlife has high demand thus more money, that detail solves the hardest part of the game!

The other insight which came much much later, the better capacity per area is given by the top 2x2 and 4x4 multi color. 3x3 top buildings are badass looking but they offer smaller max capacity for souls, we are aiming in reaching 1 billion souls using the least amount of area so you always have free space to build as demand explode.

1. Find a map with the maximum amount of buildable space 2. Start the game with the maximum speed to above 5000 years 3. Build Hell first and only 4. Pause, build the portal already thinking in upgraded form. 5. Build long straight roads, columns spaced 4 from each other, avoid crossing 6. Check the sins demand 7. Usually, the green is the most demanded 8. Don’t touch anything about the planet 9. This is key: using green as example, build 2x2 spaced so the neighbor is diagonal, never adjacent. 10. Build your first wave of buildings, and essentials (dystopias, the trams, etc. I assume you know those things) 11. Open the portal, make a lot of money 12. Upgrade the portal, make more money 13. Max capacity reached, starting to lose souls and money, you adjust the building’s efficiency to white for every building manually until you are rich 14. Buildings start to reach its top version and capacity, lock them 15. Activate the bats , y to their guano are excellent to upgrade the buildings. Also keep other disasters away during a grace period 16. Then keep growing, adjusting buildings efficiency, more portals, more buildings 17. You only need half the Hell, to achieve hell’s Omnibulges 18. Then star heaven 19. Follow heaven best practices and you reach to Love Domes very easily and rich af 20. I would only train later in the game. Build the best training school, make it only accept top 10%, left side, watch and leave 20% no lower because it can cause excess oof demons or angels, unless you want to see the a special ending 21. Endings can be quite fun to achieve (then you want to mess up with the planet)
designium··on Kinney Drugs pulls back AI phone assistant after hundreds of customer complaints
How open source makes it less private?!?
designium··on The best relationships are all-encompassing.
It helps to deconstruct what jealousy is. Is it the fear of losing someone to others? Or is it possessiveness? He or she are mine like property? Or we are simply conditioned to react like that given certain situations that triggers jealousy? I found it’s easier to deal with jealousy once I understood the source of it and treat jealousy like a symptom not the cause.

designium··on Inside North Korea's Forced Labor Program
Great reporting. It's sad the state of affairs and I need to remind myself that those cheap seafood we get from the supermarket maybe coming from these labors.
designium··on Explaining the SDXL Latent Space
With comfyui, you can do SDXL > SD1.5 or SD1.5 > SDXL, it makes more sense to generate basic image in SDXL Turbo and apply the effects of a checkpoint later.

That would be a great source for training AI.

That's cool!
designium··on The Leverage of LLMs for Individuals
I actually feel in the same way of how GPT-4 has increased my capabilities as an individual than for company. It's insane how fast the idea iterations can be and you can actually execute it pretty fast.
designium··on Problems that attract smart people
I believe you've touched on the crux of the matter. Corporations can not only censor, but also train AI models utilizing biased data, granting them significant influence over shaping the AI discourse among the general populace. This warrants serious contemplation and discussion.

designium··on Cal.com: Open Scheduling Infrastructure
There's an even a freer alternative, not FOSS though.

It also allows connection to multiple calendars.

designium··on Ask HN: If you started over with your business how would you save money?
I think I have a similar path. I tried to do everything on my own and it’s just not possible. Now, I map out required skills and then I make a conscious choice of what to outsource or not.

You can find VA or specialist VA to help you with many things. Depending how much you are willing to pay, you can get a more experienced or managed individual.

That also helps you to manage your expenses. For instance, you probably read of people using VAs from the Philippines. Try that out.

designium··on How I successfully became a software engineer in 3 months
A lot of people from HN have no CS or engineering background and we can still make a living in the tech world in technical fields.

I think more people should be encouraged to try and jump into tech career if they have the time and resources and encourage them to do; salaries are higher and demand for talents are still pretty high. It can be a life changing experience.

Stop bitching if the OP is a jr / developer or whatsoever. He got a tech job anyway. We should clap for him not be pedantic about it.

designium··on Amazon sales of Deep Learning with Python are counterfeit
I think it’s more guaranteed to get the original book content from http://b-ok.org/ then from Amazon. It’s like we are back to the time when piracy has better offers than “official” channels.

How could this had happened?

I don’t understand how HN has become this cesspool of nonsense. It is a news. The virus is spreading. What this has to do with US or China? WTF with you guys.

designium··on Airbnb will up its penalty for hosts who cancel last-minute from $100 to $1k
Now I usually stay in Sonders and hotels. Better prices and similar locations and more stable outcomes. Hotels and Sonders won't cancel you last minute.
designium··on Polio Detected in US
Engineers are just human as others. Engineers is not equal to be rational in other areas of life.
designium··on I regret my website redesign
I think it's important to establish clear goals before reaching out to freelancers and agencies. The agenda from each one is different than yours.

I learned to get the team focus by writing a brief (commonly used for Brand Managers in big companies) to keep focus on the deliverables. That helps to avoid these type of issues.
