For us that are parents, an option to load in spring break, summer break, etc. would be helpful.


Looks like it is not a big price differential to get 4x the cheapest Mac mini vs. a fully loaded 64GB mem version with the Mac mini Pro. That and we would end up getting more GPU cores (4x10 vs. 20).

And if this is cross connected with TB4 networking and using exolab, might be good for a nice local setup.

Anyone up to try this out?


LOL. E3500 was small. Now the E10ks aka Starfire were sizable.

I feel old.


Sun Fire 15ks too!


It’s all relative! I had an Ultra 10 on my desk.


@nikisweeting Is abx-dl already available or is it coming? I took a quick dive and didn't see a repo under the org.

I'm happy to help package this up once it is available.


Not currently available, it should be out soon after v0.9 is released.

Currently `mkdir tmp_data && cd tmp_data; archivebox install; archivebox add ...` is effectively equivalent to what `abx-dl` will do.


Check here for progress: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/abx-dl


I wonder if this will work with a Newton?


I was able to dig up this ancient webpage about a browser for the Newton called PocketWeb ( http://web.archive.org/web/20120610041940/https://www.teco.e... ). Sounds promising.


How about for cavities? I remember reading an article recently about major increases in the number of cavity related treatments because $$$. My kid has had multiple recommendations for cavities and I've got some suspicions about the absolute necessity of all of it.


Fillings are definitely a staple of the procedures a dentist would perform. The article does mention overtreatment, so really depends on your child's caries risk. As mentioned in another comment, healthy dose of skepticism is always required. I usually try to show signs of decay either intraorally or detected on radiographs.


i think parent might have been referring to the radiograph they try to schedule after a cavity filling


If anyone has used both Hugo and Zola, I’m curious to know if you think Zola works better. I’m trying to decide which one to utilize.


For a simple use case (simple site with a simple blog), I started off with Hugo and found it too complicated, then switched to Zola and had it done in a few days. The documentation was simple and to the point, the templates were easier to work with (for me). The community is infinitely smaller though, if it's not in the docs you're basically on your own.


Zola is infinitely better for templating alone. It does everything Hugo does.


Zola seems to be a wedding planner... so a completely different thing!



I looked on his GH profile page. How was he able to amass over 16k GitHub stars?


New research paper drop or go viral > create a repo with AI code > post it in social media. Users star a repo to bookmark it. The few who test the code write in the issue section and get their issue closed with no replies.

Thats why some subreddits flagged these name squatters.


I think a lot of people use stars as a kind of bookmark, not for recognition. It takes time to read through the code or set up a working build from a fork. I, for one, occasionally use stars to remind myself to return to a repo for a more thorough look (especially if I'm on mobile at the time).

Also, bots.


So I took a quick look at the codebase.

Here are the commits from the founders:

* https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commits?author=n... (71 commits)

* https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commits?author=F... (21 commits)

This is what got funded... I leave it to folks to decide if the changes to date are meaningful.


If that is indeed what got funded, those changes appear to be extremely minimal and benign and I can understand why people would have an issue with funding this.


Chrome + Electron codebase is a gazillion lines of code.

If someone builds an electron app and gets VC funded, is that somehow unethical?

Lines of code is irrelevant. Only issue is if they are building on top of a codebase whose license they have violated.


I don't know much about this codebase and I am probably one of the dumber people on this site (that's ok, I'm happy and eat well), but take a closer look at some of these commits:

https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/bf67ece35...

Just dd a promptfrom one object and p it to another.

https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/c59d90a4c...

change a keyboard shortcut lol

https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/489004ae0...

manually set font size in 3 places but remove the variable that would still be valid in 2 places???

https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/9bbee4c3d...

made an error message longer

Now to be fair I've never been paid 270k by coinbase so presumably these guys are a lot smarter than me, but I'm still really confused why they got funded.


Your mistake, the right way to do this is to optimize 100% for the leetcode interview and 0% for how to do a job.

You get hired and undercontribute for nine months before putting in notice after you win another interview, which is easier this time because you won one before and got the pedigree.

There is a whole generation of people who write solutions to assignments and have no idea how to create software. These commits are what happens when they don’t receive a prompt requiring a from-scratch implementation of a topological sort.


That's on the companies for structuring their interviews like that. Actual technological competence is not measured, only skill in algorithms and data structures, 75% irrelevant for the job..


Hilarious that the font PR was meant to "reduce font size" yet he managed to actually increase it.


Well, I looked through the work and it's mostly random config/frontend changes. I don't see a lot of meaningful work done? Whether LoC matters or not, it doesn't change that pretty much nothing was changed.


> Lines of code is irrelevant.

Lines of code is a proxy for "how hard would it be for someone else to do what these guys are doing but better" and the answer here is "not very".


> Lines of code is irrelevant.

Let's take it to the extreme - how much would you fund a "tech startup" that doesn't have any of its own code at all, but rather just has its founder manually press buttons on a third-party tool's GUI?

Note that I'm not asking whether it's ethical, or even if the service is worth it to a customer (maybe the founder really is good at pressing the right button at the right time) - but would you as a founder fund it, knowing that there's pretty much no barrier-to-entry whatsoever?


What am I doing with my life, I should've been a grifter.


I am planning to move from Pipfiles to pyproject.toml in preparation to use uv and recently found this https://github.com/yhino/pipenv-poetry-migrate

I have no idea how well it works.
