jcq3··on Show HN: DriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps
Beautiful, now it makes me want to use your tool because I can relate to use cases I might have...
jcq3··on Show HN: DriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps
I didn't find the use case section, the first thing I read before code, implementation example or whatever. Why is it always lacking in SaaS landpages?
jcq3··on Prompt-driven vector search with LLMs
Quite similar result than fine tuned gpt with embeddings no?
jcq3··on Show HN: I turned my microeconomics textbook into a chatbot with GPT-3
So you compress book data with embeddings then use gpt to query this data with NLP?
jcq3··on How to make YouTube less distracting
I'm a huge consumer of YouTube content, playing x2 speed all the time and now using AI to transcript and summarize. It's not that I'm afraid to miss high value added information on YouTube but I'm too lazy to read it elsewhere, except on HN.
jcq3··on Pandas Illustrated: Visual Guide to Pandas
Yet another pandas tutorial. Got chatgpt now, thx.
jcq3··on Show HN: YouTube Summaries Using GPT
Useful link thanks. This approach is not cost effective though, I guess you're working on solution to optimize your cost. Fine tuning? Embedding?
jcq3··on Show HN: YouTube Summaries Using GPT
Hello Alex, I've built a similar app for my own usage, I don't plan to ship it online. How do you handle token limitation for summarizing lengthy videos?
jcq3··on How we’re approaching AI-generated writing on Medium
There always been plagiarism and copies, just that gpt makes it easier and faster... Nothing new just more efficient. So what? Purpose of AI is to accelerate the production of worldwide intelligence, it goes with its downsides like producing more noise. No tradeoff.
jcq3··on Kodezi - Autocorrect for Programmers
With that model you need to ensure wrappers won't send requests with tons of tokens as you will be the one who ends up paying for gpu bandwidth... Meaning your spending is based on usage
jcq3··on Kodezi - Autocorrect for Programmers
If you expect AI to generate a complete project bug free from one line comment, yes it will need some time before that happens. Github co-pilot has been a game changer for me just because it allows me to code 20%-30% faster. As SWE our only way to scale is by improving our productivity and spend less time writing casual snippets of code.
jcq3··on Kodezi - Autocorrect for Programmers
Don't get your point. It's up to you to spend money to boost your productivity, nobody will force developers to use AI powered tools.
jcq3··on How to own an airline in 3 easy steps and grab the TSA nofly list along the way
What autism has to do with that?
jcq3··on How to own an airline in 3 easy steps and grab the TSA nofly list along the way
Prolly the need for recognition because if you hack from public wifi with tails tor mullvad, brand new laptop with specific hardware and so on I don't see how you can get caught up
jcq3··on How to own an airline in 3 easy steps and grab the TSA nofly list along the way
How such supposedly talented hacker end up to be doxxed? It's not that hard to become 99.99% anonymous online...
jcq3··on Show HN: I spent 2 years building Tablane as a 17-year-old
Don't listen to old folks, you're able to ship quality code production ready already, uni won't make you a better engineer comparing to a self taught path that you have already started and have made results with. The more you make money young the better it will compound through the years the earlier you can retire. Focus on making money, not degree. Keep this creative energy, bootstrap more projects, continue to bring value to the world... It will pay off. You're obviously talented, following uni will end up wasting your time which is highly valuable at that age.
jcq3··on Artist banned, told to “find a different style”- AI-made art
"A good artist copy, a better artist steal". AI is influenced by artists work like artists are influenced by artists.
jcq3··on Artist banned, told to “find a different style”- AI-made art
I agree with the moderator, AI will push artists to their limits and force them to become creative which is the most important skill of an artist. Technicality isn't enough nowadays, doesn't matter if you can paint like Raphael, you need to be creative like Picasso or Dali.
jcq3··on LearnCPP: Website devoted to teaching you how to program in C++
Better learn chatGPT
jcq3··on Our conscious experience of the world is a memory, says new theory
Not so new, this theory is already explained by philosopher Bergson in his book "Durée et Simultanéité".
jcq3··on Google officially launches Equiano subsea cable
Well they are partly right as phone uses satellite communication with 4G to communicate with telecom backbone
jcq3··on As JetBrains we condemn the attacks taking place
Companies should not involve in politics
jcq3··on Using “Frontend” or “Backend” to describe the Engineering you like (2020)
Dichotomy between product first and code first is non sense to me I'm a nerd and love to share about complex and technicals subjects about coding but I never forget that my job is to deliver a value for people (B2C, B2B... doesn't matter), there's no point coding for code unless you want to show off that your solution is best than your fellows'. So to me, elegant code is just an ego trip
jcq3··on ProtonMail deletes 'we don't log your IP' from website after activist arrested
I think as an EU citizen you have more privacy on yandex.ru than PM. Russian authorities are unlikely to collaborate with French one for instance
jcq3··on On the link between great thinking and obsessive walking
"Historically, however, walking has been the privilege of white men." Come on...

Anyway, Nietzsche used to walk before writing like Darwin

Long time ago I read that walking or taking a shower make your thinking more effective because it somehow enables automation mode and allow to be more focused

jcq3··on Psst: Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in Rust
No ad blocking feature?
jcq3··on Simple Systems Have Less Downtime (2020)
Arguments are convincing
jcq3··on DaisyUI – Tailwind CSS Components
Yet another bootstrap? I don't see any difference. Sorry I'm not a frontend dev, what's the value added of this?
jcq3··on What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code?
Is it possible to spoof the qr code? If so, how?
jcq3··on Signal Is a Government Op
Quite convincing... How Signal is perceived from cryptoexperts?
