eh9··on Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
that’s difficult to reproduce at scale; there are only so many “super bowl” events in a calendar year
eh9··on Launch HN: Cerebrium (YC W22) – Serverless Infrastructure Platform for ML/AI
Congratulations on the launch!

I just shared this on Slack and it looks like the site description has a typo: "A serverless AI infrastructure platform [...] customers experience a 40%+ cost savings as opposed to AWS of GCP"

eh9··on Limitless: Personalized AI powered by what you've seen, said, and heard
i haven’t personally used the AI pin, but based on reviews, it doesn’t feel like these devices are going to feel productive until a much higher % of queries is answered on-device (without going to the cloud).

MKBHD asked his pin what he was looking at, and in the time humane’s pin to take a pic, send it up to the cloud, decide what model is most appropriate, and narrate a really long (possibly hallucinatory) answer; he simply took his phone out and google lens answered correctly with a lot of time to spare.

I know these are first-gen products and the fact that this one would presumably have a much higher degree of context on my personal life might make this better (without speaking to privacy implications). Still, over-reliance on the cloud and the fact that this doesn’t interface with my phone (where most reminders, alarms, messages, etc, happen) is going to make these devices a tough sell.

eh9··on U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose
That’s not how history works
eh9··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2023)
I was so excited to see an engineering designer role open, but I can only do remote right now. Either way, I’m a big fan of the product!
eh9··on Zoom terms now allow training AI on user content with no opt out
Zoom? A company publicly traded on the Nasdaq and funded in San Jose, CA?
eh9··on Zoom terms now allow training AI on user content with no opt out
I do therapy and group therapy on Zoom, are they going to train a therapist AI? Does this go around HIPAA privacy rules? Would they keep a file on phi?
eh9··on IRS tests free e-filing system that could compete with tax prep giants
Revert to existing experience?
eh9··on IRS tests free e-filing system that could compete with tax prep giants
I would. They already know how much I need to pay them/how much they owe me. It should be as simple as a text message I reply “y/n” to.
eh9··on Students are increasingly refusing to go to school
Americans do schooling wrong, and kids have to worry about getting shot on top of being overworked. I wouldn’t feel incentivized to go to school either.
eh9··on FDA Finalizes Rule to Deregulate Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are generally calibrated for an individual’s specific frequency loss (usually done by a medical professional). We’re already seeing devices that simply amplify all frequencies, and while I’m no doctor, I can imagine boosting all frequencies for prolonged periods of time could lead to additional hearing loss.
eh9··on It looks like GPT-4-32k is rolling out
Do the output limits change? If I give it an entire codebase, could it potentially spit out an entire codebase?

I’m wondering if this is a quick way to get to $5 each round trip (send and receive)

eh9··on Show HN: AI Playground by Vercel Labs
How expensive is this to run?
eh9··on Montana becomes first state to approve a full ban of TikTok
Yes
eh9··on Montana becomes first state to approve a full ban of TikTok
This won’t pass. How are you going to enforce this? Are you going to fine Montana residents 10K per TikTok post…?

Republicans keep pushing the most un-american stuff on this country. What happened to “freedom”?

eh9··on This account can no longer post all Tsunami Warnings, Advisories, Watches
… why should they be on the hook for something that was and should remain free, especially for an account like this. This is the same social media garbage fire that wrongly labeled the BBC and PBS and state sponsored media.
eh9··on Super Mario Bros. theme part of the 2023 Library of Congress registry
Daddy Yankee’s Gasolina was also included
eh9··on They’re selling nudes of imaginary women on Reddit
Pretty sure it was powered by MSCHF
eh9··on ChatGPT Plugins
It's incredible to me that Siri and Google Assistant have been around for as long as they have, but Bing will probably be the first service that'll turn your "Book a flight to SF tomorrow" prompt into an actual flight.
eh9··on Police sue rapper Afroman for using footage of home raid in his music videos
My tax dollars at work

Delta is an emulator.
eh9··on Twitter will open source all code used to recommend tweets on March 31
Bold of you to assume they’ve paid their GitHub bill
eh9··on Stanford Alpaca web demo suspended “until further notice”
I think we’re talking about different projects. This one just gives you a text output of an entire repo.

eh9··on The dark defaults of Microsoft Edge
So, in the same way pixels have been found to illegally transmit protected health information (PHI) back to the social giants, MSFT is just sending any data in text boxes to their servers…? They’ll just deal with the class action when it comes…?
eh9··on Stanford Alpaca web demo suspended “until further notice”
I just saw a project that lets you input an entire repo into GPT. Coincidentally, my place of employment just told us not to input any proprietary code into any generator with a retention policy.

Even then, I feel like the play will be an enterprise service instead of licensing.

eh9··on ViperGPT: Visual Inference via Python Execution for Reasoning
I’m not advocating for killer robots, but wouldn’t we get the killer robots in our kitchens 10 years after the military gets them?
eh9··on My grandmother died at home, just as she wanted. It cost $145,000
Canada does.
eh9··on My grandmother died at home, just as she wanted. It cost $145,000
That “somebody” is the government in most developed places in the world. Except the United States which ties your healthcare to capitalism.
eh9··on Tech's Elite Hates Labor
It feels like we’re due for a “big reset”, but I doubt it’ll be aligned with VC interests. They need labor more than we need those companies. Americans should pick up a French history book.
