You merely need to define the term "NinePizza", which is a collection of nine pizzas—and then have your very educated mother serve that. This doesn't present any problems philosophically, since we already have terms like "Solar System" for collections of disconnected objects.
Big of you to assume I only watch "if the story is good".
The kids make me watch Transformers - completely devoid of suspense or consistency. That 4k 120Hz OLED is the only thing getting me through that gauntlet.
Fingers crossed this late sequel parody somehow duplicates the original's charm. It would be embarrassing for Disney if it's better written/received than their own attempt with the source material.
There’s a safer way to do this with nearly no added friction. Give it a read only API key. Then just ask it to write the API calls into a bash script and then read it and run it yourself. The agent can still inspect the live resources and diagnose and give you more commands to run. I do agree I wouldn’t give it create / write access.
I've done this sort of thing before but with Vast. Pre-deposited some money online, then let the LLM request and manage a training run on an allocation. Worked pretty well without risking bankruptcy.
If they had drawn the proposed line, it would still be the same distance from the coast today. So its presence would be a detriment to global warming proponents.
Not achieve a societal norm but facilitate everyday tasks with the many, MANY things that are THAT much easier with a smartphone.
Now I get the author’s point, but there’s preferring to be off-grid (which I also tend to be), and there’s purposefully handicapping yourself then complaining about it later.
Look, if you run a blog, post your articles on places like HN and actually interact with the World Wide Web on a frequent basis you don’t get to preach about smartphones being evil devices that “society” imposes on you. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
This is like a biker complaining there’s too many cars on the street. A motorcycle is a smaller vehicle but it’s still very much part of that class of problem they’re so proudly rising against.
Where is the logical tie between interacting with the web in general, running a server or whatever and not being allowed to complain about being pushed into the Google/Apple-duopoloy, remote attestation and similar things? o_O
The logical tie is in the fact that the single most important reason smartphones are so prevalent and important today is their ability to connect to the internet, and let’s talk like adults here, if you run a blog and market your articles around on sites like HN, you’re already very much IN the Google monopoly. Google already knows who you are, what you do and everything else they want to know. You’re already playing their game.
If not having a smartphone ticks some weird box for the author, hurray them! However, let’s not pretend this has anything to do with privacy, protection or morals. This is just a self-congratulating blog post. It’s the LinkedIn humble-brag adapted to a different audience. Again, it’s theatre.
Thank you for your reply, and so true. This is an electronic medium after all, and the smartphone, the greatest electronic device ever invented, makes participating in it so easy. Tonight I ate in a restaurant with a paper menu (I avoid QR menus because I’m old) but was able to send photos to my family & meet my wife for dessert by sending iMessages during dinner. I have over 50 years of film, DSLR, and iPhone photos and all are on my iPhone to look at any time I wish. Restricting yourself by not taking advantage of such devices is fine, but don’t pretend you’re not missing out on some of life’s greatest moments.
> If you can afford and have a place for long term. Buy better stuff. Used quality furniture, even antique, can be incredibly cheap.
IKEA is ideal for a certain stage of your life. It's ideal for optimizing vertical space. It's largely function over form. It looks like middle school classroom furniture. And when junior writes on it w/ a sharpie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
When you have the space for a separate dining room, agreed that used antiques are comparable in price.
I wouldn't touch their couches rich or poor though; they're painful.
I have an IKEA LANDSKRONA (in Gunnared dark grey) and it's a good sofa for like 650 €. I don't think I've really considered sofas to be that markedly better than mine even if they're double or quadruple the cost.
It's very use and location dependent. I'm going to get a good or at least relatively good dining room table. Some cubbyholes/shelves for a closet? IKEA is fine. I also have an IKEA bureau in my bedroom. I occasionally wonder if I should have splurged on a "real" piece of furniture but it saved me thousands of dollars and is perfectly adequate.
