People have no idea how many news websites, SaaS websites, and apps I would subscribe to at prices of $30/year or less ($2.50/month).

replied to:

I've been curious about the reasoning for prices too. Like, there has to be research behind it... But I agree it is far easier to buy four 2.5€ services than one for 5

Hi, teying to get started with linux and basic networking/cybersec here. What are some essential linux commands ant tools, or pentesting philosophies i should learn before i dip my toes in the water? Thanks :)

replied to:

Essential commands are: ip for network interface and routing config host/dig/nslookup for DNS querying tc for traffic control nft for firewalling mii-tool for interface tweaking nmap for LAN discovery tcpdump to view traffic ping/ping6/traceroute/traceroute6/mtr for debugging connection issues

replied to:

thanks so much. i will look into those

replied to:

there's also ufw (and its gufw) as an alternative to firewalld. apparmor, if you care.

…

replied to:

thanks, :)

replied to:

You’ll learn Linux commands as you go not as the goal itself.

Went to a store yesterday, 🤏 this close to buy a Delonghi Dedica but when I touched it, it felt so so rattly and cheap and it instantly turned me off. So I did some more research and now I think a used Gaggia Classic Pro will do. lovers, why is your hobby so hard to break into 😪

Waiting for an original thought to pass me by.

I've been waiting for 40 years.

Many pass by me. All combined aren’t worth $0.02. 😅

They only come when you're not waiting for them!

Nourish your heaf with creative thoughts and originality will happen on it's own. And don't be too hard on yourself, there's hardly anything new under the sun, the joy is in discovering things yourself :)

My 3yr old woke up at 5am this morning crying - not terribly uncommon - and when I went in there to check on her she just said "daddy's here" without looking at me and went back to sleep

That's all for now, I'll be home soon and take the dual boot off the laptop, and we'll see what happens to this Gemma.

Anyone on here fed up with their investment advisor? Interested to hear your frustrations.

replied to:

We almost had one, but stopped after the main setup but before signing on. Wasn't convinced of the value. Seemed like they were just doing portfolio reallocation for a pretty penny. What are you experiencing?

replied to:

Had one for ~8 years. Talked to them maybe 10 times, and they only ever did basic indexing w some tax loss harvesting. We should have just self managed.

This seems reasonable and motivates my bias. But I don't know what to believe anymore.

replied to:

Overvalued, maybe. Extremely valuable, yes, though.

replied to:

For sure. We're well past the point of being able to reasonably claim that the tools have no practical use. But I share the article's skepticism that LLM-based AI will "produce a fully automated drop-in replacement for most knowledge workers". Which it at this point has to in order to justify these companies' stupendous valuations.

replied to:

Tomorrow no but there will always be the “hope” which is enough for the next 20 years before giving up. Which meanwhile would be replacing larger and larger chunks of the workforce so it won’t really matter, we’ll be adjusting our lives around it as well so we meet in the middle.

replied to:

Tesla has been overvalued for over a decade with the promise of “fully autonomous cars” and it’s still not losing its value, despite not meeting that (and probably never will, as the computation necessary to achieve it is bounded by physics).

replied to:

That's a different situation. Tesla's a public company whose valuation is driven by the market, which has the right to be irrational. My understanding is that the AI buildout is financed such that the companies need to turn a profit by ~2030 or else they drown in capital costs.

…

continued:

Or maybe the frontier labs become Tesla-like, if it turns out investors just want to believe in the dream and don't care about financials that don't make economic sense. I just don't see that happening, given current sentiment and the overwhelming unpopularity of AI in the West.

I'm doing experiments with short attention-span students and code. Starting with python, and, oddly, now working in BASIC. As a C programmer of 40+ years, I find this aesthetically and pedagogically displeasing, but I am delighted to see them getting fully absorbed in writing 130 PRINT "You have been eaten by a bear!" : GOTO 900. Yes there is spaghetti, but it's their spaghetti and they seem to take delight in debugging it. Python will come later.

replied to(deleted account):

I was talking about this with some alumni students, specifically their experience learning python with us a few years earlier (these are college students who are not really using python any more). What it seems to boil down to is that with python you have the feeling that there is this huge forest of solutions to any problem you are having -- but you will never know the whole forest. BASIC feels like you "know" it after a day or two of playing around, evidently.
