I love this article! Thanks for sharing
phas0ruk··on Show HN: I built a Python web framework
Flask is decent. Can’t we use that?
phas0ruk··on Show HN: A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff
Lots of negative comments below which I think are overly critical. I think the stack looks good and I’ve also had no issues with mongo. Will take a look!

phas0ruk··on LLMs Unleashed: The Power of Fine-Tuning
Helpful. I was thinking today about when it makes sense to fine tune vs use embeddings to feed into the LLM prompt and this helped solidify my understanding.

Recently moved from Vancouver to London. I’ve had enough with the drugs issues there.
phas0ruk··on Once hailed for decriminalizing drugs, Portugal is now having doubts
This reminds me of Vancouver Canada. What happens is decent people and families move out of the downtown core, leaving the worst offenders to run amok. It’s sad. I wonder how many of the 200 experts advocating for the continuation of this policy have children.
phas0ruk··on London’s ancient cart marking ceremony
I love London

phas0ruk··on GPT-4 Outperforms Humans in Pitch Deck Effectiveness
I would be interested to know how this was done.

Unless they have access to Code Interpreter then gpt4 won’t generate graphs and images.

Did they have it generate Python that made the graphs in matplotlib or something ? What did the prompts look like?

phas0ruk··on The case for the decentralization of online forums
If the platforms revenue doesn’t come from ads, where does it come from?
phas0ruk··on Vector Database in a Jupyter Notebook
A primer here https://youtu.be/k8E0CqGiA2s
phas0ruk··on Show HN: APIRank.dev – We crawled and ranked public APIs from the internet
Is there a description of what the api does ? I don’t know the vast majority of these names.
phas0ruk··on Launch HN: Second (YC W23) – AI bots that add features to web apps
Man, what will be left for devs.
phas0ruk··on Introducing ChatGPT and Whisper APIs
Feels like people running small websites monetised with ads will get killed. Why go to a recipe website to search for healthy meals for your kids if you can ask chat gpt in Instacart? :(
phas0ruk··on The energy crisis and Europe’s astonishing luck
America has more natural resources than Europe. That’s just luck.
phas0ruk··on Dedicated biomass is not a good idea
Well the story is pretty different if we are using waste like animal manure to create fuel.
phas0ruk··on Get Running with Couch to 5K
I find running hurts my knees so I cycle. Similar benefits but I see more nature and protect my joints.

Use it to raise your monitor to the right height
phas0ruk··on Ask HN: What is the best income stream you have created till date?
Built a qr code generator website 15 years ago and it paid me $750 a month in AdWords revenue. Gold.

phas0ruk··on GB National Grid Status
Not if you locked in a feed in tariff from years ago. They lasted 15 years I think.
phas0ruk··on Crypto’s Final Price Could Be Zero
Btc is a more akin to a commodity like gold, which also has no cash flow. It can’t be valued by dcf’ing cash flows, hence methods like stock to flow for valuation or comps.

Pos assets like Eth also have a running yield so you can discount cashflows on those.

phas0ruk··on Remind HN: Heroku will delete all free dbs and shut down all free dynos Monday
I’ve been using render.com. Pretty good alternative.
phas0ruk··on Show HN: I made a tool using AI to convert articles to audio
Nice, what’s the tech stack?
phas0ruk··on FTX tapped into customer accounts to fund risky bets, setting up its downfall
FTX is a centralised exchange, it is not routing all customer trades on chain. It’s not a blockchain failure, it’s just a lack of client asset segregation by a traditional centralised trading house.
