I'd say go where your users hang out. For me it was LinkedIn and reddit. Don't spend money on ads, it's simply not worth it at the beginning. Cold outreach works, the not so secret is that the message should be appealing. If you get bored reading your own outreach message, there's a high chance your audience will be too and you'll end up in spam as fast as I eat a chocolate tablet.
Now that's a fantastic piece of content. I have a Tually just launched a Claude wrapper that provides a voice interface to Claude. Definitely not as good as sesame so I'd dive again into your article to better understand how you got there, thank you so much for sharing!
Had the exact same thought some time ago now, even proposed it internally at my company. What makes me doubt this will work eventually is that scraping has been going on forever now and yet no standard has been accepted (as you noted robots.txt serves a different purpose, should have been called indexation.txt)
I was discussing this some time ago with a friend, I get the feeling that error messages these days try too much to apologize instead of providing the user with hints and clear explanations to solve the issue. It's all about emoji faces crying "boohoo there was an error" with a childish tone.
Can't wait to see AI avatars crying in front of you for failing to summarize an article.
I have started working on that idea for a little more than a month now and it's been constantly amazing to feel how fast I can build and deploy my ideas on the cloudflare stack (using Pages, Workers and D1) for now.
For now it does not have millions of websites available to search through but still 250K and growing fast (crawling constantly through a cloudflare worker)
Your content really helps me move forward with my project, thank you for that Max. Being back on twitter after six months, I get the same feeling. Cool and exciting to get retweeted and to see the followers count ramp up. But it does not necessarily translate into dollars at the end of the day. ROI is hard to see, at my level. Reddit feels more like an investment due to the SEO and hyper targeted niche audience on some subs.
Interesting! At the same time, HN current design already looks kind of brutalist to me, it's crisp and sharp without fluff. That's what makes it intemporal and easily readable on every devices.
I have learned something today, thank you for that! The pitch is clear and the fact that you put so much work in open sourcing it is really impressive.
Is Nvidia RTX 4000 solid for training? Alternatively this card seems listed for around $1800 so at $180/month on Hetzner, it may be even cheaper to buy it, depending on the expected usage.
Something I have wondered about is how can a layman like me could communicate with a satellite? I would need an antenna of some sort I believe but then what's the protocol?
I saw this a few weeks ago, haven't tested it yet but it looked cool and not so pricey: https://modal.com/
The three musketeers of cloud also allow you to use GPUs but it may be harder to get, especially GCP that needs human whitelisting of your request to use GPU instances.
I learnt about this project with the recent disappearance of one of its creator, Nikaus Wirth. What I found interesting, among other things, is the Text User Interface at the core of the OS. With the rise of ChatGPT and conversational search, I thought it may be useful to revisit such projects in the light of this new era of text and conversations first.
I relate with OP about the difficulty to memorize advanced commands from vim. Nevertheless, I cannot go back to a modeless editor and found a happy middleground using VSCode with the vim extension. It's not hardcore vim for sure but I feel that I get the best of both worlds.
Your comment covers lots of interesting topics. Talking only about chatGPT+Bing's threat to press and content creators survival, the difference with WordPress is that you could generate revenue "on your own" through your audience. Either with ads or through subscription. Conversational search will only make people visit less websites and consume the content directly from the AI. And sometimes without attribution to the original source, meaning your chances to monetize, as the creator/journalist/publisher, fall down to zero.
