It sounds like you were a bootstrapped solo founder in all of these cases? That’s the riskiest path, there are lots of other ways to navigate a career in startups that are not quite so brutal in odds or in emotional toll. (In the United Sta

I’ve never heard anyone else mention this before, but same here. Incredibly painful. It was 25 years ago and I still wince whenever I see one of those nubs.

Great example. I just tried it with a few LLMs and got horrible results. GPT-4o got a ton of them wrong, GPT-1o got them all correct AFAICT but took 1m50s to do so, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet said “Here's the text with straight quotes conve

FYI all the LLM Python SDKs that support structured output can use Pydantic for the schema—at least all the ones I can think of.

Mediapipe makes hand tracking so easy and it looks SO cool. I did a demo at PyData NYC a couple of years ago that let you rotate a Plotly 3D plot using your hand: https://youtu.be/ijRBbtT2tgc?si=2jhYLONw0nCNfs65&t=1453

FingerWorks! I had their iGesture Pad. Although maybe they were on their last legs before the acquisition, and it led to multitouch being everywhere, so great outcome anyway.

Agreed with all that, and also, when used via API the o1 models don't currently support system prompts, streaming, or function calling. That rules them out for all of the uses I have.

Can you explain how that works? Why would either the for-profit entity or the executives get a tax deduction because one of the stakeholders is a nonprofit?

The world was also not ready for music subscriptions. That was the really compelling benefit of Zune for me, that we take for granted today with Spotify et al. The vast majority of people I knew, even early adopter types, just could not wra

A lot of libraries seem to be working on Apple Silicon GPUs but not on ANE. I found this discussion interesting, seems like the ANE has a lot of limitations, is not well documented, and can only be used indirectly through Core ML. https:&#

There's a few reasons I can think of. First, R definitely needs at least two, one for functional OOP (Common Lisp style) and one for class-based OOP (Java style). The latter is _much_ less important for everyday R users but as a packag

There's nothing to stop any of your paying customers from setting up their own site and giving away (or selling for cheaper) copies of RCU, right? I'm guessing you understand that and figure the downside risk is low--small numbers
