I have used tinybird for production fraud monitoring and customer facing analytics. Javi and the team are great to work with. I have also used regular clickhouse cloud.

I initially tried tinybird out just to rule out clickhouse as an option for my workload when I was planning on going with Apache Druid but then found out for my workloads they blew it out of the water.

So I definitely recommend them and the whole clickhouse ecosystem in general for any kind of high throughput read and write analytics work.

I recently bought about ~50 19th century menus from France for special dinners to go along with a project I was working on. Was looking for specific meals.

There are so many on ebay and delcampe and I think people used to make these and save these special event menus much more than we do today.

I have been to a handful of tech dinners recently that have had them though so maybe it is coming back!

The thinking models (especially OpenAI's o3) still seem to do by far the best at this task as they look across the document to see how the writer wrote certain letters where the word is more clear when it runs into confusing words.

I built a whole product around this: https://DocumentTranscribe.com

But I imagine this will keep getting better and that excites me since this was largely built for my own research!

I think you’re confusing geothermal systems (ground excavation, drilling, etc) which are not what this article is talking about.

Yeah. I always used Sol but tonight before reading all this, my daughter and I were talking to it and even my 8-year old said it sounded like she didn’t care or want to talk to us. Super disappointing.

I bought a couple guardian bikes a couple days ago. Their website said they would arrive today, February 1. I assumed it was some kind of weird leap day issue.

Doesn’t Google literally pay them like 20 billion per year for exactly this?

I worked for mDesign for and we owned m.design for a while. We used it for our corporate email addresses (aaron@m.design for example) but the majority of non-tech employees and vendors just couldn’t get used to it and tried things like aaron@m.design.com or etc so it got scrapped.

As a collector who is in the process of founding a museum, I think my favorite examples of this type of exhibit are: The Great cabinet of curiosities and their collection of collections at the Basel Historical Museum

And then of course the Enlightenment gallery at the British Museum, which is essentially a collection of collections showing how people used to display their various types of collections.

What a wild ride. I have used X more the past few days than in a long time; that’s for sure!

They already have an API in AWS, it’s what this project is showcasing.

The combination of Ctrl+C - Ctrl+T - Ctrl+V - Ctrl+A - Ctrl+X - Ctrl+W is pretty much hardcoded into my brain.

Nova in Laravel. https://nova.laravel.com

Creative cloud all products plan gets 1000 credits per month. This seems pretty generous to me? I haven’t been using anywhere close to 1000 generative edits a month during the beta.

It really is pretty remarkable. I research and write about a historic topic that has its roots in France so I had always had the idea of some day localizing my site into French. And it is shockingly good at translating full articles. It understands the context of what is written and knows which words to use to keep the same meaning when literally humans can’t even do it well as there are terms and phrases used 200 years ago that just aren’t used anymore. But are correct and relevant in the context of these antiques.

I’ve been doing something similar recently that impressed me. I have been taking handwritten manuscripts from the early 1800s and feeding them into AWS Textract and then feeding the raw OCR data results into Claude2 or GPT4 to have to it make sense of the horrible OCR from the handwriting.

I was even more impressed feeding it handwritten French documents like patents from the same time period. AWS Textract only works with English so even with it’s ML OCR of trying to make English words from the French handwriting, it was still workable when telling the LLM I was feeding it French text that was OCR’d even though it all kind seemed like gibberish when looking at it.

We just launched The AI Creator Hub on Product Hunt! It’s a stacked resource full of AI tools, powered by GPT-3 that help creators launch their first course.

Yeah. It feels like they’re acting more like a travel agent. Kind of like what this original post would be doing.

They actually do on some airlines. For instance, check out the first booking option here: https://www.google.com/travel/flights/booking?tfs=CBwQAhpHag...

I have been pretty happy with QuickBooks self-employed. I have the version which comes with TurboTax filing.

You can classify all of your income and expenses throughout the year, including your home office, deductions and any other deductions that you qualify for and then it automatically transfers it over to TurboTax.

It also calculates your quarterly filings and helps facilitate paying those.

Same. It's so annoying and I feel like they do not always include the relevant info like the URL in that mode. Though looking now I did not find examples of that.

I think it’s very heavily weighted by the subreddits you post in rather than the content of your posts. This was clear to me when I tried my different Reddit usernames that are both very educational and similar tone but focus on completely separate businesses.

There is already a serverless version of Laravel that runs on Lambda. Seems feasible that someone could make it work on the edge too.

I comment occasionally on how much better people at my office sound when using their airpod pros rather than the headsets others use. I don’t hear the background noise and they just sound so much better.

Multiple times I have thought about pushing to get all of the Mac users a set as it is just so much of a night and day difference.

I noticed this days ago on my forum. It’s only on old images that would typically not display the image anymore anyway as the poster did not upgrade their imageshack when they changed things some years ago.

My point was it’s even bigger issues, not just or mainly because of Apple’s privacy rules.

SNAP talked pretty loudly about the same Apple issues but their stock spiked 62% after their earnings report. So this seems like more of a cop out.

I am definitely getting my money out of Amazon Prime. I ordered 269 items on Amazon last year and 281 the year before up from 93 and 91 the prior two years. Plus whatever my wife ordered which is probably at least that many.

I regularly get next day shipping on orders and often same day or overnight delivery.

Plus the free delivery of groceries is nice compared to paying for Instacart or shipt or the per delivery fee from the local grocery stores.

I don’t use many of the digital services except for occasionally prime video but definitely feel like I get a good value for all the shipping.

I do a lot of research for historical things and often want results from other languages and have found on Google if you search for something and then click the settings icon and then click languages you can choose multiple results for "Currently showing search results in:" which will give you results in the languages you choose.

I typically do this in incognito windows as I do not always want for instance English and Italian results.
