Waiting for an AI powered shell, or something similar, so that one can avoid wasting time on these trivial tasks that require too much attention if solved with traditional methods:

"I made an OpenAI-powered Linux shell that guesses your bash command": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0UnS3jHhAA

Thanks for the link. The summary seems to have a couple of tools I'm not familiar with.

DevOps/GitOps.

Need to build a stack consisting of Kubernetes (zero downtime, volumes), Docker for images, Django Rest Framework (backend), Nginx (reverse proxy for static files), Uwsgi (for Nginx-Django coordination), Next.js (front), Postgresql (db), Flux (for syncing with private docker registry images using maybe semver and for github repository polling), Ansible (for agentless initial configuration for test/qa/production servers), and Github Actions for CI (maybe later CD; servers allow only polling at the moment).

Thanks. I was going to put a timestamp, around 2:51, but it was ignored.

Hey. I'm looking for a free polygon simplification tool similar to the one in the video. Is there any? My goal is to reduce the map size of a city in order to reduce the bandwidth needed.

There's a difference between ending up winning (I did my thing and others liked what I did) and searching for a win (I need to get ahead / win), which leads to most likely not being true to your nature.

For example Linus wanted to make an operating system, he didn't want to win (I would think), but ended up "winning". But if you want to be like Linus, you'll probably get lost.

edit: grammar, clarification

Did he tweet about it or?

- Understood that understanding is not the result of thought but of observation ("I see it now").

- Understood that ego is the result of thought.

- Understood that fear is not the word fear.

- Understood that thought is the source of sorrow.

I was gonna say you're nuts, but it seems there's a some kind of pattern, so sorry about that :D. These are the filenames for three different Calvin & Hobbes cartoons from Feb 8 to Feb 10. 24 hex similarity, so... you need to reverse 32 bits?

It could be some kind of combined hash for date + comic + service.

Well, it should be pretty straightforward to first check whether the loop is working at all and then step-by-step echo the variables for example to see what's missing.

Yeah, why not. I didn't give it much thought. This script makes some assumptions about the site structure, that's why it's able to be so short. Of course if you were able to get the image links without grepping, then it would be even easier.

And you have ImageMagick also installed?

Thank you. You're most kind. I have many business ideas already, but I'll think about it.

I'm studying Spanish, so I made a little script that fetches Calvin & hobbes cartoons in both Spanish and English and then converts each strip into bilingual strip with ImageMagick. It works well enough (>99%).

    #!/bin/bash
    for i in {1..1000}; do x=$(date +'%Y/%m/%d' -d "$i days ago");
    z=$(date +'%Y-%m-%d' -d "$i days ago");
    wget https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbesespanol/$x -O $z-es;
    wget https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/$x -O $z-en;
    y=$(cat $z-es | grep -o -P '.{0}https://assets.amuniversal.com.{0,33}' | tail -1);
    f=$(cat $z-en | grep -o -P '.{0}https://assets.amuniversal.com.{0,33}' | tail -1);
    wget $y -O $z-es.gif; rm $z-en; sleep 1;
    wget $f -O $z-en.gif; rm $z-es; sleep 1;
    convert $z-en.gif $z-es.gif -append $z-bi.gif; #ImageMagick
    rm $z-es.gif;
    rm $z-en.gif;
    done;

So it's not a principled decision? How many users does the site have? 10000, 100000? To me, that's a lot. Thanks for answering.

Yeah, go ahead and down vote without explaining yourself. It's so educational!

That's terrible. OP should take the site down and fix those issues.

There should be app "be my brain" :).

To me it's not obvious, if you consider the possibility to use a toilet a human right of the first class. edit: pretty ridiculous that someone down voted my parent comment.

You can't put cameras to toilets, you can't prevent semeone from using a toilet, and you can't search someone's pants.

The system should be configurable imo. You should be able to adjust parameters for how far-fetched suggestions you would get and whether you'd like to see videos you have already watched, and so on.

Saw this yesterday on Reddit ("First evidence of microplastics in human placenta"):

That's a very narrow take on the matter. One can be deceitful with perfect information. In general you can use small prints or psychological tricks and conceal your true aim. If you know that by presenting information in a certain manner leads the user to be more willing to accept harmful conditions, then you're being sneaky even though you're technically being open.

Google is becoming more annoying by the day. It has become customary for it to force the user to accept privacy-leaking features by grouping them together with other useful features. This kind of sneaky behavior I don't like at all.

I know that my sleep quality would increase if 1) I could keep my window open and get fresh air 2) have a silent environment like I did when I was a child/teen living in a remote area. Now I live next to a relatively busy street, so keeping my window open is not possible due to pollution, and using earplugs won't fully solve the noise issue either.

Inspiring. His message doesn't apply only to biology. Several subjects in schools are teached in an uninteresting manner that doesn't captivate the students, and so they don't learn, and so they rather hate school. Memorization of the wrong type of things for the sake of tests should end. We should focus more on what sticks with people.

Thanks :). I was thinking of a configuration that would allow web surfing / school work etc. Should be quite cheap.

That's a nice idea for someone with a big family, perfect usage for multi-core cpu too.

One question alone may lead to a meaningful conversation. Search for enlightenment goes hand in hand with the search for the truth, at least to me. But yes, the article isn't that well-thought out, but if it triggers interesting conversation, it's all good for me.

I've been also thinking about systems like this, but wouldn't you need constraints and counting? I mean let's say you modeled human behavior based on basic economic principles, then you'd have constrains/rules like:

if money < x, stay home (and you wouldn't meet new people and have an impact)

if money < y, walk instead of taking a bus (and you would get only so far, your reach is small)

if money < z, have no energy to do new things (your behavior would stay the same)

if energy < c, die
