seth17··on How to Train a Gen AI Kick Drum Model on Your Old Linux Desktop with 6GB VRAM
Have you tried setting `navigator.audioSession.type = playback`?
seth17··on Dokploy is the sweet spot between PaaS and EC2
This seems like an unfair comparison for Dokku. I haven’t used the rest, but I have used Dokploy and Dokku. Dokku has had every single feature I could want or need, even accounting for weird edge cases. It just doesn’t have a UI.

With Dokploy, on the other hand, I found the UI difficult to navigate, which would be fine if the documentation was good but it was lacking.

But for many of the features their comparison claims Dokku doesn’t have, it actually does: database support, scheduled jobs, docker compose support. It has some form of monitoring. Overall Dokku has been a pretty robust solution for me and anything it might be missing, like in monitoring for instance, I can just add at the system level.

To be clear, I’m not anti-Dokploy and I think the more these tools improve the better. Just wanted to share my experience in defense of Dokku. Being able to spin up your apps on a cheap VPS is incredibly empowering over having to pay 10x more for managed services like Heroku or Render.

seth17··on Ask HN: What do you wish you knew when you were a CS student?
As a current CS student who’s getting tired of stressing out over grades, thank you. I think I was starting to have this realization but someone else putting it into words really helped.
seth17··on Stanford CS Curriculum 2021
This problem has been the basis of my own studies.

I’m studying computer science in an interdisciplinary build-your-own major style program, focusing on AI ethics. I’m not in any position to make these kinds of claims but I do think that, as you’ve mentioned, these issues will only become more serious in the near future.

At first I was a little worried that not having the traditional CS degree on my resume would hinder me from career opportunities but learning about problems within this space has been incredibly inspiring in its own right.

seth17··on Ableton Live 11
I don't believe that this is true. FL Studio had a bit of a dated 00's design for a while. Cubase, Reason, and Pro Tools were also not flat either. I'm not sure that "always" is accurate.

Though, Ableton has been flat since 1.0 it seems.

seth17··on Zoom needs to clean up its privacy act
Google started developing it more for enterprise use in 2017 but Hangouts has been around since 2013.
seth17··on Ask HN: Self-teaching vs. Restarting college to pursue CS?
Thank you! This is reassuring to hear.
seth17··on How much do hackers at the CIA/NSA/FBI make?
What is the educational path to becoming a CISO? Would you go into IT or CS?
seth17··on Ask HN: Is Computer Science too specific?
I didn't think there were majors that wouldn't teach you critical thinking.

Would someone with, let's say, an Economics major and a CS minor still have a chance at a Big 4?

seth17··on Ask HN: Is Computer Science too specific?
I was actually considering going for a degree in Mathematics instead but majoring in both seems much more appealing. Perhaps even something such as Economics and CS could also be viable?

Also, would a PhD in AI be recommended as well considering the potential it has across multiple fields?
