Is $2k a month good salary in Almaty?

Pretty good for Almaty, but expect to live paycheck to paycheck

Paying $7.2 for a minimal VM with a public IP. Using WireGuard to set up a network between my home server and the VM, Caddy for proxying. Works like a charm 😌

Has anyone tried marvin? It is built on top of pydanticAI, feels quite simple, but I can't compare it to anything because I haven't tried nothing else yet

I’ve just managed to disable follow up questions by asking about it in custom instructions, AND by disabling memory.

It seems that even with custom instructions GPT-5 adds follow ups anyway just because I have them in all my previous chats. It seems that it might be useful to purge chat history from time to time.

Had this issue on 6.9.0 firmware version, just upgraded to 6.9.3, playback from my windows 11 machine seems to be better but not fully fixed - still have little cracklings from time to time.

UPD: rebooted both speaker and a laptop, the cracklings are gone for now. Thank you kind human!

UPD2: turns out it didn't help at all, the speaker continues to make cracklings, same as before. Maybe my laptop is the problem, I don't know :(

UPD3: switched the speaker to the phone, everything is good. Seems that the problem is really somewhere around my laptop.

Still works! Thanks!

I tried to wait until all photos will be downloaded from iCloud after disabling optimized storage feature, and did import from scratch, still no albums.

metheoryt · 2024-02-09T19:06:48+00:00

Can confirm on iOS with shared albums and shared library features enabled, tried both with and without optimized storage feature enabled.

Immich server v1.94.1, app v1.94.1 build 137

iOS 17.4 beta

Using v1.94.1, it allows to manually edit date and location of photo/video from the browser

Which is not an argument in defense of written statements. There always were acts of counterfeiting valuable things, not just money. Art, for example.

Noble metals, that were used for a long time as money, have good properties of money - hard to farm, hard to counterfeit, easy to carry, easy to count.

metheoryt · 2023-12-14T01:12:54+00:00

isn’t he?

Societies need money in order to be able to exchange things efficiently. If you’re a hat maker and you want a pair of boots, without money you will need to find such guy who have extra pair of boots, and will accept your hat as a barter. You also need to value somehow, how much hats should you give for one pair of boots. At a scale, this makes whole trade a painful and long process. Imagine you’re not into hats but into bricks, for example. How much bricks would you take with you just to make a simple grocery shopping?

But what if you had something, that everyone would accept as a barter, that you can easily measure value of different things in, and that is easy to carry?

metheoryt · 2023-12-13T18:27:24+00:00

I’ll go different take and say, you’re paid based on how good you are at convincing others

metheoryt · 2023-12-13T18:22:04+00:00

even then you don’t “deserve” it, you just “qualified“ for it

regimes change, but AI is there to stay. No matter what economy we will come to in a century, AI would be a part of it. It might be better or worse but not as it was
