Can the same thing be said for using docker compose etc on a VPS to host a web app? Ie you can get the ergonomic / ease of using Fly, Renderer? Historically, managed platforms like Fly.io, Render, and DigitalOcean App Platform existed

It would be a deep irony if LLMs ended up ushering in the social rupture that never arrived in the industrial era. When the pigs turn hogs and refuse to share even the scraps, they shouldn’t be surprised if the system they depend on becomes

I can’t get over the range of sentiment on LLMs. HN leans snake oil, X leans “we’re all cooked” —- can it possibly be both? How do other folks make sense of this? I’m not asking for a side, rather understanding the range. Does the range lea

This is pretty cool! Since we’re sharing related work, I’ve been building something at a very different layer of the stack. Shameless plug warning! Where Phind gives you an interactive answer right now, I built SageNet for the opposite prob

I've been building SageNet, a voice-first AI coach that turns your goals into structured, adaptive learning plans. After a 2-minute voice conversation, Sage generates a personalized 6-module roadmap with build-first projects. It checks

I recommend the books Cherry or Wasting Talent for two semi-autobiographical novels that show heavy/gnarly addiction. As a non addict, it wasn’t until I read a book like these until I was able gain more empathy for the spiral. Unlike

How did you come to that conclusion that this is a function of betting? As a baseball fan, this feels like a long overdue feature (at least in the world of video review challenge). I think it's simply going to make the game better. MLB

Does this support realtime speech to speech via API? If so, where is this hosted/documented? I wasn’t able to see any info. I’d love to use this in lieu of OAIs (expensive) real time speech to speech offering.

I’m actually curious to know how you’re hosting whisper Vs say just using the OpenAI api. I’m also wondering how offloading the transcription would to the client with something like https://github.com/xenova/whisper-web

Cool, I’m working on something similar. Mind me asking what stack you are using to build this?

I also gave up on Pynchon. You should check out A Brief History of Seven Killings, postmodern done right if you ask me.

Anyone remember how awesome This American Life was? They used to be about just that — an American [in their life] with an amazing story to tell. So simple and elegant. Then they went massively down hill around the time Trump was elected. Th

Are there any best practices for doing RAG over, say, a novel? (50k-100k words) things that would make this unique compared, say, RAG over smaller docs or research papers: - ability to return specific sentences/passages of a character

I would respectfully disagree. For my Masters in Fine Arts (Creative Writing), I had to write a novel in the style of a dystopic post-modernist. And this was before ChatGPT.

Yes. HN is one big advertisement, and the virtue signaling geeks who are so vehemently anti-ads aren’t able to recognize this.

I’ve written a book, edited the hell out of it, gotten feedback from friends, etc (I think it’s pretty good!) and have tried reaching out to literary agents (this is what the trad route recommends). So far about 0/20. Any tips here? I’

Did you read the article? Who owns Mario? Nintendo owns Mario, full stop. Your argument completely eschews the legal system of which modern society depends on to function as effectively as it does. There’s a reason you can’t steal other peo
