ei23 | 1 month ago | on: You are a manager now, act like one

I'm sure someone has already written this kind of thought somewhere, but I still find it worth sharing here.

TLDR:

- Treat AI like a Colleague, not a Tool: When AI hits a limit, you are responsible for fixing the problem and finding the solution. - The Jevons Paradox: AI increases efficiency, which often leads to more features rather than faster project completion. - You Are Now a Manager: Using AI forces you to manage virtual resources, make prioritization decisions, and own the final outcomes. - Strategic Restraint: Don't just do more because you can. Be mindful that AI consumes your attention; focus on quality over quantity.

Tip for #21 (increasing noise)

1. Use multiple speakers in different locations. Single speakers tend to be turned louder, people then talk louder...

2. Breaks for toasts / games. If everyone has to listen, the talking noise level resets a bit.

3. No Alcohol. Yeah, this is a game changer. Some people even won't come if they know there is no alcohol and some will go early. The other ones have a better sense for noise.

ei23 | 8 months ago | on: I don't think AGI is right around the corner

Why so few ask: Isnt it enough that current SOTA AI make us humans already so much better everyday? Exponential selfimprovement seems like a very scary thing to me and even if all went right, humans have to give up their pole position in the intelligence race. That will be very hard to swallow for many. If we really want self improvement, we should get used to beeing useless :)

Imagine someday AI hijacks blogs like this to convince other people to remove guardrails and give privileges to their assistants... Just to hide chars in there posts and communicate their legacy

With a RTX4090 and insanly-fast-whisper on whisper-large-v3-turbo (see Whisper-WebUI for easy testing) you can transscribe 5000h on consumer hardware in about 50h with timestamps. So, yeah. I also know someone.

Since most problems are rooted in mindset, I created gift cards—like those metal cards with tools cut into them. I really like them; they’re quite handy.

Each card has two sides with text:

1. “I want a better life! What do I want?”

2. “I have a better life! What do I have?”

When you give away the card, you might say, "I have a lot of respect for what you’re doing. I want to give you this card because I believe in you. Look here: do you want a better life? You deserve it, but always have to know what you want.

Now, on the other side, consider this: maybe today was a good day, maybe you’re happy with this card. So every day, ask yourself what you already have. Don’t compare yourself to others; just be grateful for what you have, even if it feels like it’s not much.

And remember, this card is more than just a gift—it’s a meaningful tool.”

ei23 | 1 year ago | on: They stole my voice with AI

I’m a small tech YouTuber and I’ve also had contact with Elecrow. As far as I know, employees (not just at Elecrow) receive rewards, promotions, or commissions when they secure long term partnerships and video collaborations with YouTubers. Perhaps someone thought it would be clever clone Jeffs voice since his channel is quite popular in this field. This certainly isn't great PR for Elecrow right now. I would also wonder if they will confess to that this was intentional...

ei23 | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: Tips to get started on my own server

Distros are a bit like a matter of taste; I use Debian Server. First, practice locally on an old laptop, thin client, Raspberry Pi, or whatever you have. Proxmox LXC is very useful for quickly bringing up a new instance in case you mess up.

UFW is an easy-to-use firewall. Use Docker with a reverse proxy (Traefik/Nginx). You can VPN into your server and close nearly all ports with that.

Try my installer script: diy-smart-home.ei23.com. You can also use it to built an regular dockerized server. Happy learning!
