I had the exact chain of thought, only to find that traffic of the site I built is at the mercy of how Google decided to rank webpages, and putting AI > youtube > Reddit in front of everything else.

> - Mailing lists beat social media accounts.

Similarly, Google set the metric for what counts as spams. Your emails can all go to the spam folder if their AI decides it should.


On (1), yes that is true to an extent - the domain discoverability is indeed mostly at the mercy of Google, and the whole "AI overview" is a garbage experience. However, looking at my own search console data (both Google and Bing), there are still quite a few folks landing on my pages through search, often for some obscure terms that I somehow documented, so it's still possible to get traffic that way. But again - the goal is less about "drive traffic ASAP" but rather point people from other networks to something you personally own.

On (2), they can, but if you use a more established provider like Buttondown or Mailchimp, and you are not actually sending spam, a lot of folks have quite a bit of success building an audience that way. I've used Buttondown (not affiliated with them in any capacity) personally before and haven't had subscribers complain about deliverability. I am planning on rebooting that this year to see how it goes. I've heard most deliverability issues arise when folks trying to roll out their own email server.

On the side.


Thanks. I now have a few apps in the app store. I want to try spending resources growing them.


This is surprisingly useful. Thanks!

I used an iPhone app with similar interface but couldn't find one that's as intuitive on web until this one.


Can this be run without colab Pro? (High vram)


The un-optimized version runs in a free notebook, but you hit the vram cap if you try to increase image resolution or generate more than one image at a time.


After lastpass, I am a little wary about password managers. Not sure when they plan to "monetize" me.

Been using google password since lastpass turning on paywall. What's your opinion of Bitwarden? Reasons to give it a try? Having all passwords locked up is no fun.


Unlike both Google password and Lastpass, Bitwarden is open source on server and client side.

This means if worst comes to worst, the community will fork the code and set up a new server or 2.

I switched to it after the Lastpass changes and BW literally has everything LP had plus more. It even imported my thousands of LP entries on first try with no issues.


They charge for a premium plan, as per the article. We pay for a premium plan at our company.


They should do the same for patent. I see companies and now universities freely take tax payer money to develop their own products. It just becomes an additional source of funding with little string attached.

It's fine to use tax dollar if there's potential for public good, but the tech developed should be released to the public domain right away. I have seen a selfless act from an academic group making decision not to patent a technology because they felt its an important one that many other things can be built on. Now tens of companies were started based on that tech and counting. I hope our gov understand how much value can be unlocked by public domain technology.


>The shortest time from arrival of the blood sample in the laboratory to the initial diagnosis was 7 hours 18 minutes.

>After establishing a diagnosis in Patient 1, we updated our bioinformatics framework to permit the transfer of terabytes of raw signal data to Cloud storage in real time and distributed the data across multiple Cloud computing machines to achieve near real-time base calling and align- ment, a step that reduced the postsequencing run time (base calling through alignment) by 93%, from 7 hours 21 minutes to 34 minutes.

Amazing basecalling and alignment of a human genome can be done in 34 minutes. How far we have come since the first reading of human genome.


What's wrong with letting employees to hear both sides of the argument, from professionals? Both unions and "consultants" are resourceful organizations. Perhaps they can keep the good and take out the bad practices in their unionization, if they ever choose to.


I don't think

> Two employees who helped organize the 2018 walkout later left the company, saying they were facing retaliation

is the same as

> letting employees to hear both sides of the argument

I've worked in a place that had a unionization effort underway and, let me tell you, the company certainly did not let people hear the union side of things. They'd make sure to schedule our lunches async so the employees couldn't talk to each other; they banned chatting about non-work stuff during work time; etc
