I believe the issue is with Freenom. They offer very bad service and you shouldn't use their services for important projects because sometimes you may lose your domain even if you paid for it.

Last year, one of my paid domains (.ml) showed up as being free in Freenom dashboard, even though I had 3 months to go. I needed it, and since I know support is unresponsive, I paid for it for another year, because I wanted to avoid any kind of downtime.

Support answered after a few days and they corrected the issue. However I didn't notice that now my renewal date was now set to 3 months earlier than when I first paid for the domain.

Because of this, along with the fact that I didn't get a renewal notification email this year, and along with the fact that Freenom doesn't seem to have a grace period, my domain expired.

I went in my dashboard, paid the invoice, but the domain still isn't mine. I tried to buy it again, but I got an error.

I contacted support but couldn't wait for them, so I used another account to buy it (for free), and it seemed to work.

After a day or two I got this email from support, warning me against buying the domain with a different account, because I run the risk of getting banned.

  From time to time, we have to limit free domain registrations and put in place blocks.
  These blocks can be imposed for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to):
  - the country from which registrations originate;
  - the domain names themselves;
  - the IP addresses from which registrations originate;
  - the device from which registrations originate;
  - the use of measures (such as proxies and VPNs) to hide your true location from us;
  - a history of bad registrations in the account from which registrations originate.

  You are currently blocked from registering any additional free domains.

  For reasons of security, we cannot go into the precise reasons for this block. We also cannot make any predictions on when you will be allowed to register new free domains.

  Please come back in a few days and try to register a domain again. If our systems still do not allow you to register new domains, you'll need to wait longer.

  Please do NOT register additional accounts or use any other accounts that you may already have, as this will lead to these accounts being banned, possibly indefinitely.

  Kind regards,

  Freenom Support

Fortunately I don't have a website running on that domain, but I do have a secondary email address for non-critical accounts. This is dumb, I know. I got hooked because it was free, and then I thought it's better to pay ~$10 for a renewal, than have to spend a few days changing emails on many of my accounts.

After that email I did just that; I went through most of my accounts and changed emails. I've learned my lesson and I hope to have some foresight in the future.

Found this vid [1] while looking up Kaedim. The author also noticed the high prices, among other things.

I use Pocket Tube [1] and I absolutely love it. I started using it 1 month ago so can't really estimate how much time it's saved me.

Before that I always found YT frustrating and never cared about subscriptions because, and correct me if I'm wrong, the subscription system is disorganized. It doesn't make sense to me. I found myself having a hundred subscriptions that I didn't know how to follow in an organized manner.

With this extension now I've organized subscriptions into groups, which get integrated into the UI in the sidebar, and you can set notifications for whichever group you'd like. It has more features - like the "Deck" feature, where you add a few columns of either playlists/groups/channels. You can also view all the latest vids from each subscription group, or all your subscriptions and filter them by groups.

I'm quite happy that I suddenly noticed I had this pain point and quickly found the perfect solution. It's one of my favorite extensions.

How long does it take to convert 2d to 3d?

I found out about Kaedim a few weeks ago and when I saw this repo, it came to my mind as well.

I used it this Black Friday to monitor prices on some websites where I couldn't find a better solution. I was glad it supports multiple types of notifications (I used Discord notifications)

Thanks a lot for this project! I love it, and will be using it from now on.

Thanks for mentioning he has a newsletter; I had no idea. I frequently refer to his article on how to use Twitter [1] and immediately got excited when I saw his blog on the front page.

I've also been searching for GPU solutions for potential small projects like this, and so far banana.dev and runpod.io seem promising.

Wow, that's a big one. I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you've been through a lot. What was it about your job that burned you out? I'm sure this would be helpful for me to know, as well as others who may be in a similar situation.

It spikes my GPU to 100% as soon as I open the page.

Almost every time I refresh the price changes a little. Is this normal?

To me it was worth it. That was really a great post. It made some great points I'll actively try to remember. Especially:

Accept that "the grind" is part of the job. A friend of mine's father has a great quote:

  "Son, i don't wake up every day and go to a place called fun. I wake up and go to a place called work"  

You can't get irate or frustrated that the bulk of the day is typing in boring code and dealing with bugs and other people.

The solution seems to be to visit https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 and check a checkbox and click the button to confirm access.

The full error I also got was:

  HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://huggingface.co/api/models/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4/revision/fp16

I visited https://huggingface.co/api/models/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v... and saw

  {"error":"Access to model CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 is restricted and you are not in the authorized list. Visit https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 to ask for access."}

Eventually I focused and realized I need to visit that URL to solve the issue. Hope this helps.

This will be very useful when using with GPT-3. Thanks so much!

Some examples generated using the site title and tagline in the beginning of the prompt, confidence 0, and the first 3 samples. Some are misses, but it can be tweaked to come in very useful when I don't know how to provide constructive criticism or feedback.

    There is a fly in my soup: I’m afraid there is something in this food that shouldn’t be here.
    Fuck you: I strongly disagree with your approach/decision.
    You make me cringe: Your delivery makes me feel uncomfortable.
    I never loved you: Our relationship was purely professional.
    I am so tired of all your fucking meetings: I’m not able to attend all the meetings you’re scheduling. Can we review which ones I can be of most help with?
    I'm fed up with all these dumb "coaching" courses: I’ve taken a number of courses on this topic and I’m not convinced that this is the most effective use of my time.
    I'd like to end our contract as you have been late for the deadline twice and haven't even given me a heads up: I regret to inform you that I will be terminating our contract as of today.

This is out of my area of expertise.

They also don't have an affiliate program, so there isn't monetary incentive for websites to promote it.

Whoa. It's an honor!

https://tldrmarketing.com for SEO, social media marketing, and other digital marketing related things.

It's the only newsletter I've actually stuck with and enjoy.

I use the Chrome extension https://github.com/schmich/marinara and have been since November 22.

It hadn't worked for me previously because I thought it would be too much conscious effort, and I wanted a solution that would trick me into focusing.

However, I realized that many people, myself included, probably don't even get ~2hrs of focused work in a day (2hrs is a ballpark figure, no data to prove it).

Since then, I set timers of 25 minutes in which I'd just focus on what I'm supposed to do, and even though the first 15 minutes I drift off, thinking about something else, after a certain point the work that's in front of me is all I'm thinking about and I'm focusing effortlessly.

There are instances where I'm not focused, and I keep looking at the timer and waiting for it to get to 0. This is also great, since I still consider it somewhat productive that I stuck to just trying to do the work, instead of watching stuff on YT or browsing HN. This builds a little bit of self confidence.

The way I try to think is "I don't care what happens, unless it's a major emergency, I'm not letting anything distract me until this timer reaches 0".

I notice that the fact that I know a break is coming is very important tome. If break time wasn't involved, then I'd dread the whole experience because it wouldn't have any finality.

My interpretation of this is to accomplish something significant very early in the day, depending on your schedule. I wake up at 8:30AM, and I like to accomplish something significant before 10AM.

I had a similar situation. The only time I took half a pill out of curiosity, and I suddenly opened up with everyone around. It was during a time that I was quite grumpy and would often drink heavily, and didn't know how to deal with my feelings.

I felt this odd urge to express myself towards everyone around me and was being very wholesome about it. I was aware that this was odd behavior for me, but I liked it and it felt like I was "letting go".

I noticed what I was feeling and how I was expressing myself and that it was ok. That was enough validation for me to keep on without taking mdma.

This happened just the once. I haven't felt the need to try it out more since then.

Same here, when using my default Chrome profile, with uBlock disabled.

However it seems to work in incognito.

EDIT: If you're using Metamask, I think that's the reason. After disabling it the demo worked. Also, when visiting metarank.ai from Github, I'm getting a warning containing:

  This domain is currently on the MetaMask domain warning list. This means that based on information available to us, MetaMask believes this domain could currently compromise your security and, as an added safety feature, MetaMask has restricted access to the site. To override this, please read the rest of this warning for instructions on how to continue at your own risk.

You had me at "Stonk Reporter"

This is awesome! Thanks!

Wow. I said the pretty much the same thing in conversation 1:30h ago.

Also an https://improvmx.com user.

Recently Cloudflare also started enabling email forwarding. I believe it's still in Beta, and with the sites I've got in Cloudflare I got approved 2 weeks-ish after applying.

As for sending emails, I think you can use something like how ImprovMX suggests https://improvmx.com/guides/send-emails-using-gmail/

I agree.

Here's what GPT3 had to say when I set temperature to 0.

  Q: Is it safe to walk downstairs backwards if I close my eyes?
  A: No.

With temperature 0.7:

  A: Yes, because there is a banister.

This one surprised me. Given that temperature was 0, I usually expect a solid response:

  Q: Why is there a correlation between the number of times Trump tweets the word great and the high temperature in Pyongyang three days later?
  A: Because Trump is Kim Jong Un's air conditioner.

I don't know if this fits the criteria, but I'd like fuzzy search[1] functionality in the browser, to search page contents. I know there's an old extension[2] that does this, but I think it has a few bugs.

I also use Find & Replace for Text Editing[3] that also searches/replaces regex, but it's not the same as a quick fuzzy search.

Same here. I use .md files in Sublime Text, which I keep in Dropbox, and I access them on my phone with Obsidian.

I really like this article. Thanks to reading it last year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22276184) it validated the idea of using simple files.

I used to try various productivity apps because I thought I needed something to help with reducing the "amount of willpower" I needed to keep a to do list.

Ultimately I realized I had been using Sublime Text for years to take temporary notes in a very unorganized manner. Since April 2021 I'm happy with the todo lists/notes I keep in Sublime.
