> Possibly, the model could be trained on the actual content of the link. But I suspect just using the short title might be better. Larger concentration on the actual material there, websites contain lots of text which is useless.

Most people do not read the article before commenting, you do not have to train the AI to do that.



I didn’t know there was an HN karma leaderboard!

The 2013 thread is pure gold.


I really appreciate that I had no idea this was a decade old. The Internet changes every day but people remain the same.


Far fewer people wanna talk about JIT these days. Alas.


> Z-Library is a popular (and illegal) library. They have taken the Library Genesis collection and made it easily searchable. On top of that, they have become very effective at soliciting new book contributions, by incentivizing contributing users with various perks. They currently do not contribute these new books back to Library Genesis. And unlike Library Genesis, they do not make their collection easily mirrorable, which prevents wide preservation. This is important to their business model, since they charge money for accessing their collection in bulk (more than 10 books per day).

Most people use fiat, there is no way to use a credit card to buy crypto on a DEX. Also, transaction fees are usually higher and some coins just cannot be supported unless wrapped, like trading bitcoin on an ethereum DEX requires you to use WBTC or similar tokens, which are usually costly to wrap/unwrap and might even be centralized.


Is this satirical? P2P exchanges exist.


No one really connects decentralized P2P though:

If you move your mouse really really fast, you can get through the bubbles without popping them.


It’s totally not anything at all related to quantum tunneling in anyway.


Would that actually make sense?

Maybe I don't want to know.

I'm still grappling with my last bout of "holy moly is the universe a simulation?" after reading about a way of dealing with latency in networked games that looks a lot like relativity.



What is the method of dealing with latency called?


Wow, the tiny physics engine is that advanced?


Perhaps lack of interpolation of mouse event points


I wonder if you could do this if you cranked your polling rate up to 500hz like many gaming mice can.


1000 hz! and yes, seems tied to fps is all :^)


144hz monitor? :D


240 as it happens to be. maximize the bubble game


Is the headset still usable after killing a person?


3 on eBay listed as Open Box. Great deal it seems. ;)


People get paid to donate blood?


Not paid to donate blood, as far as I know, but plasma. I did this a handful of times in college for extra cash.


They still pierce you to remove blood and you get paid for it, don't you? I don't think "it's just the plasma" makes much of a difference.


They pierce you to remove blood and put it back. You get to keep all the non-plasma components - blood cells, etc.


So...? The ethical (political? social? moral?) component seems the same to me.


It does with respect to how frequently you're able to donate. In the UK, blood donation can be no more frequent than once every 12 weeks (for men). Plasma can be donated up to once every 2 weeks.


In the US, yes.


Yeah, sounds to me like one of those cases where it's best to have a social reward rather than a financial one.


I believe you can get paid for donating your plasma components.


Germany does.


Germany doesn't. There are some for-profit options for donating blood in Germany but the most widely know way to give blood is with the German Red Cross, which does not pay donors unless you consider a small meal or the occasional swag (e.g. squishy balls) "payment".

As I understand it, some hospitals offer payment for blood donations but if you want to get paid the most reliable options are probably pharmaceutical companies. By number of donors, both are probably eclipsed by the Red Cross though, which by its nature heavily relies on volunteer work.


Somebody on Reddit recently did collect what one gets for donating blood in different areas of Germany: https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/xoqyay/aufwandsentsch%C...

What you can see from that is that a "Aufwandsentschädigung" of ~20€ is pretty common.


We're not disagreeing. These are (university) hospitals and corporations. I've seen numbers indicating that 70% to 80% of blood donations in Germany are done via the German Red Cross. The Red Cross does not pay money for blood donations.

Pre-COVID the German Red Cross often would have a buffet lunch typically consisting of sandwiches and fruit for donors. Since then they seem to have moved to prepackaged lunches and branded giveaways. But never cash money.


As a German, I now several people here who donate blood and get paid money for it (e.g. here https://www.blutspendedienst-owl.de/blutspende.html), but more people do indeed donate plasma since they get more money per session and can donate more often (e.g. here: https://www.cslplasma.de/faqs but I don't see their monetary rewards on the page anywhere).


What, where? Most of blood donations are made through the Red Cross, they don't give people anything.


If you wait for the next blood donation to be advertised for you, it will be from the Red Cross or similar and you get a free sandwich or something to that effect. If you actively search for options to donate, chances are it will be at the local hospital that will pay you around 20€ for it and offer much more frequent options.


I expected it to somehow fill the entire shirt, but apparently it just makes a rectangular patch of the image on a plain black/white shirt. Also, the speech to text doesn't seem to do that well.


The rectangle is probably a limitation of the t shirt printer service they're using, I've also seen that they don't usually fill the entire shirt.


They could print on the entire shirt as that is an option when they setup the store but the profit margin would make it too expensive for a third-party.


That would require the more involved 'cut and sew' process.
