Supabase does. It has a spending cap, so you won't wake up to a 100k bill if you get hacked. An app I recently consulted for used fireabase SMS auth. Someone spammed their sign-in page and they were hit with multiple 4-figure charges.

Yeah but if you need features like Cloud Functions or SMS auth you have to give your credit card... with no spending limit... and the standard practice is to expose your firebase creds on the client... and their stated stance is its better

I think its a nice idea. People here criticize everything. They would probably criticize the idea of hiring a producer too. Any interest yet?

Flash 2.0 has been excellent for its price point for me. And their multimodal work is leading the field. Their top-end foundation models are a bit lacking but they are catching up fast there too.

This is going to transform our society more than anything else. A giant foundation model can be cast for very, very cheap inference. Imagine the improvement from room sized computers to your iPhone, applied to this branch of technology.

That is by definition systemic racial discrimination. This isn't hard to understand.

Are you using something like Pipecat or the VAPI API? How are you handling your voice->voice pipeline and your audio infra?

My point is that you're presenting Herzl as if all he wanted was to legally purchase land for a Jewish state. But you left out that he advocated systemic racial discrimination to coerce another group to leave. I'm trying to ask if

Of course they do lol. Boys when given a doll will hit stuff with it. Girls will have a tea party. However, the people who don't have enough social sense to stop talking skew male. Women are generally much better conversational partner

He also said that Jews should only hire other Jews. If I was a politician that advocated Britain is for the British, and that whites should only hire other whites so that minorities have to leave due to economic pressure, how would you view

Clearly they understand they need to integrate Gemini into search but it wasn't cheap or accurate enough yet. Do you really think THE search and AI giant is going to ignore AI search?

I think the winning strategy is making a small model that's good enough to embed in search, etc, at no cost. Google has the best small models. But whoever wins this will be whoever makes a more efficient computing substrate for LLM inf

But Google is the household name. All they have to do is bring Gemini inside Google before people stop using traditional search.

Oh fuck me. Can you use this to make an analog transformer out of tiny lenses that's pre-trained? Like, take a digital PyTorch transformer model and spec out the lenses to recreate the computations? And build that? If so, you will cove

In the Amazon a lot of the "uncontacted tribes" have been contacted by illegal loggers, miners and in the past rubber harvesters, and have every reason to think we're all a bunch of demons. The ones who still hide out are oft

I have a rule that modifies a base password depending on the name of the site the password is for. That way I only have to remember the base password and the rule.

Please don't turn HackerNews into this kind of a site. There are enough of those on the internet, and only one HackerNews.

There are a few topics, like racial differences, which are pretty verboten. Here's an interesting example: https://davidsun.substack.com/p/the-origins-of-arcticism-the...

If anyone used to play Zero Hour, there is still an active community. They still have tournaments and world series. A guy called Dominator on Youtube casts it all and its a pretty entertaining blast from the past. I recommend checking out h

An intelligence asset whose job was to blackmail the rich and powerful dies in his cell before he can testify when cameras stopped working and both guards fell asleep. Come on.

Smugly dismissing all conspiracy theories is as stupid as believing them all. Epstein didn't kill himself. And he didn't work for himself either.

This is so interesting to think about. Where do you see the extremely unlikely jump from non-intelligence to human-level intelligence that makes us a fluke? I think paleontology at least indicates that evolving monkey level intelligence is

I think we're making orthogonal points. I agree that life is very unlikely on any given earth-like planet. And most life out there is probably of the unicellular sort. I also don't think its guaranteed that humanity will last beyo

I'm talking about the end-state of super-evolved lifeforms with runaway intelligence, like humanity. Imagine how humanity will change over the next million years. We will become like Q from Star Trek TNG - beings that are essentially g

That was beautifully written. There are an estimated 50 sextillion (5*10^22) habitable earth-like planets in the observable universe. On average they're 1.8 billion years older than Earth. Think about the implications of this for a min

You would have to put a lot of trust in that company. To be honest, I mean.

Yeah they will still learn something even if it is overnight. So will the listeners. After all, what really is the point of debate? To visibly win?

Take this example: A human googles "how much does a tire cost?" They pick out a website from search results, then nav within it to the correct product page and maybe scroll until the price is visible on screen. Google captures a l
