It feels very retro - back to the earlier days of the web circa what Craigslist still looks like. Are you doing this just for development experience / fun or to make it something bigger? I still find no-JS back-end forums such as PHPBB

Xerox really missed out - inventing the GUI, laser printer, and ethernet among other things. How did IBM and Apple take over and Xerox end up as a has-been also ran? What went wrong in their commercialization of revolutionary technology?

Having money and resources, influence and respect certainly doesn't hurt either. I've known a lot of great people with great ideas but poor in resources, networks, and connections, and also lacking much respect out of small circle

Yes check out Sceptre brand you can buy in any of a number of places. As dumb as it gets. 65" 4k goes for pretty cheap.

I'd love to find a way to test this with longer audio but I don't have GPU resources and not exactly sure how to load that into the Colab. Is anyone planning on hosting or sharing a model that can be used by others to test longer

My comment was not about VC, it was about networks. If you're in the right networks problems will get fixed. Most VCs, to be blunt, are not in the right networks. The vast majority of VCs are "dumb money". The smart money is

A high value network is a group of people that have inherent trust or a common background or understanding that allows them to provide access to each other's highest value connections and resources. A low value network are those people

Having the right friends in the right networks help you both with market choice and product choice and also provide necessary insights for product-market fit. Not having the right friends or networks means that you have to indeed rely on

This post is the quintessential post about how success is about being part of the right networks. The cynical part of me calls it the old boys network, the realistic part says that unless you travel in the "right circles" your cha

Sounds like many dysfunctional startups, many of which have impetuous CEOs who have been handed far too much VC money and have far too little management experience. Just take a look at what is / has happened with DataRobot.

Not to mention: "Shockley became widely known for his extreme views on race and his advocacy of eugenics". Sounds like a terrible person.

Interestingly, the Hebrew word for money is "Kesef". Coincidence? Probably. As for whether or not it will work, I think as long as Polish companies need to invoice non-Polish companies and vice-versa, trying to standardize in this

And yet has solved none of those. I was involved in the big effort to modernize EDI decades ago to use XML, then JSON, then REST-based approaches to simplify and encourage adoption of electronic invoicing, and yet none of it really had any

With enough training data and enough GPUs to do the model training, you'll be there! Goes to show that for AI, the code really isn't the important part. AI is and always has been about data and compute.

I'm not really sure I get the comparison bar charts down below - it shows fylm.ai all the way to the right and the other ones... not, but it's not clear what it's showing and I thought smaller bar charts would be better if m

The increase in remote jobs, remote interviewing, automated interviewing, and use of AI systems for interviewing is directly correlated with people gaming the system. There really is very little good substitute for in-person interviewing. O

I assume all the code is open source on github if I'd like to run this myself on my own expense? Maybe an installation / configuration guide if there isn't already one would be helpful.

Often it doesn't make sense. They need to cut, so they cut. They need to spend, so they spend. They need to hire, so they hire. Is this usually consistent? No. They acquire companies and later shut them down. They hire tons of people t

Just got one of the images back. Looks like you might want to double your time estimates. Also I got a Rick Roll meme image back as one of the results. I assume this is some sort of failure mode response?

What exactly are they giving back? They're taking a cut of your company using a MFN SAFE note, same terms as many seed investors. They just are investing a fixed amount into a very focused niche. It's a seed investment finance pla
