I'm usually curious about various topics, but lately, I've noticed that external, exploitative influences—primarily from advertisements—are nudging me toward interests I wouldn't have pursued on my own (I use an ad blocker, block trackers etc). While I appreciate some of the directions I've been led, I want to understand these exploitative influences.

I've identified that I'm particularly susceptible to manipulation on a few types of websites, such as search engines, retailers, tailored content platforms, and social media sites that have profiled me.

I'm interested in better understanding these influences and have two questions:

What other categories of manipulative websites should I be aware of? What additional methods of manipulation might I be missing? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hey HN!

I built a Go library for convenient parsing of env + flag pairs. At the time, I needed a dependency-free solution — so bringing in Viper or other "heavy lifters" wasn’t an option.

Along the way, I came across a few lesser-known libraries that might’ve worked, but by then the project was nearly done. Plus, this one seems to be the only config lib that’s built on generics and reflection-free.

If that sounds interesting, I’d love for you to give it a try and share your feedback: https://github.com/atelpis/enflag

Thanks!

I need help purchasing/putting together a rig that's powerful enough for training LLMs from scratch, finetuning models, and inferencing them.

Many people on this sub showcase their impressive GPU clusters, often usnig 3090/4090. But I need more than that—essentially the higher the VRAM, the better.

Here's some options that have been announced, please tell me your recommendation even if it's not one of these:

- Nvidia DGX Station

- Dell Pro Max with GB300 (Lenovo and HP offer similar products)

The above are not available yet, but it's okay, I'll need this rig by August.

Some people suggest AMD's MI300x or MI210. MI300x comes only in x8 boxes, otherwise it's an attractive offer!

Budget ≤ $30,000
