The story sounds quite impressive. Also the post itself, its writing and visual style, are surprisingly well executed. OP must be working 24/7.

So, I don't want to be that guy but every time I had disclosed my secret sauce in the past, e.g. how my recent venture sky-rocketed, I disclosed it when the growth was over, never, really never, before. Why should I hand out my treasure map which was months of work to everyone?

However, the author wrote that she wants to reach 20K and this will be still a challenge and so she seems quite credible but still, reading this post took some time and I am not sure if it was well invested. I feels like the typical r/entrepreneur post how-I-made-x-in-y-weeks but, again, much better executed.

Even with legal restrictions: just put an Ubuntu server at home and ssh to it. Then you wouldn't have the GBit connection but still better than using Docker on a non-production OS.

OT: How can an ordinary mortal like the most of us play around with GPT-3 and make their own experiences?

FWIW, I never run docker on my local machine (I develop on a remote machine), benefits: remote machine os + setup is very close to production and GBit bandwidth up and down at my hoster is so much nicer when working with Docker images.

OT: I'm on the fence if I should create an app in an related field in Electron or native macOS. Anyone in a similar situation, how did/would you decide?

OT: I fell into the rabbit hole of designing hardware (something like this). Just don't do it, it's super fun but it doesn't pay off: every SoC is different and you start with every SoC from scratch and waste tons of time. Prototyping is slow, you need min 2 weeks for every iteration (for smaller endeavors) and the worst, 98% of hardware-based business models are weak and don't provide any lock-in.

Congrats, this looks very nice. I played a bit around and headed then to Wikipedia's entry of Forth to learn more about the og language. Please elaborate more about why you did this project and decide for Forth from your perspective.

So great and love to detail (just the subtle smooth flashing when you finished the presentation), great color scheme and the best: just the essentials and no nonsense features.

Wouldn't call it a die off, more a consolidation: reddit got some really good niche communities and if you want to narrow it even further down Discord evolved quite well in this regard (great communities + easy access to multiple groups unlike with Slack).

Does anyone have an educated guess how this compares to current consumer Nvidia GPUs? I was just about to order a maxed-out Nvidia system (ignoring memory for now).

Bonus question to anyone from Apple who might read this: Will Apple contribute to the PyTorch repo re M1 support?

Buy a Billy shelf and get it built by TaskRabbit. Is this the reason they bought them?

Super impressive and I love code-golfing but the title is slighlty misleading since the HTML part of the app, the cells, seem not to be included in the 220b. Still great.

I didn't expect people asking how to buy Bitcoins on HN.

Just get an account on Kraken, Coinbase, Gemini or wherever and look that you don't keep your coins on the exchange for too long. Start with small amounts. And those nerdy forums and subs (I think you mean Bitcointalk and Ethtrader on Reddit) are actually good places to get started/informed.

Am I the only one who thinks Amazon Alexa is overrated?

The only three voice features I use are:

- Set the timer to 10 minutes (mostly pasta)

- Wake me in 1 hour (for a nap)

- How is the weather today?

That's it and and I don't have a home which is connected to my phone like most out there.

I think voice control only makes sense for commands where you don't need further interactions with the system, like watching a result on a screen or when driving a car. Then it's ok, otherwise I can't imagine any voice driven killer app.

OT: Just develop on a remote machine with Linux and 100Mbit up and down via SSH. Then Docker flies.
