Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain 21 by qerim | 11 comments The ISP in my hometown (Albania + Kosovo) has decided to block my whole domain to my free legal streaming website because they also happen to offer IPTV services. I only found out after trying to access my site from Albania today, it just comes up with a “bad URL” request. The streams I serve on my site are public freely available TV channels, combined into a single page. Since EU laws do not apply to neither of these countries, is there any course of action I can take to prevent this sort of monopoly going on? on Hacker News.

Ask HN: What to do with old computer books? 23 by zeristor | 28 comments I have a meter of old computer books that I no longer need, I can't really see there's much demand for Java 1.3, or Dreamweaver 4. I have been told that acid based papers can't be recycled, I'd take them to the charity shop but it seems pointless if they'll just throw them out. on Hacker News.

Ask HN: I am in my late 20s looking to change careers. Any advice? 8 by knlph | 8 comments Hi HN, I have been feeling very lost and out of place for as long as I can remember (with some temporary periods of feeling belonging). I have made a lot of mistakes, career mistakes. But I am doing slightly above average (by most society standards). Yet I feel I am not doing justice to my role/calibre. I am thinking of moving full time to becoming a developer (I don't have an engineering degree, but have been learning on my own). But I am unsure and scared. Has anybody been through this?

Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts 19 by rileyt | 2 comments This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3. It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response. It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer. More examples and explanations here: https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067 on Hacker News.
