I'm looking for alternatives, so what would be a good alternative? Anything you have specific experience with?

Thanks! I'll definitely reach out as I'm getting closer to the 2nd bank alternative for sure. I'm on Woocommerce as well. Is this Paymentech? You have a business bank account with Navy Federal? Lots of questions ;)

What tech do you use to integrate it with your apps? Especially ones that seem to greatly prefer Stripe? Chase has been a solid bank for us but I'd like to not mix my payment processor and bank in case things go south. What are your rates? Do you have to pay monthly gateway fees or minimums? How long did the underwriting process take and what were the major headaches?

What are the best alternatives to Stripe that offer better quality service, the same ease of integration especially with Wordpress based plugins, good pricing, and much better customer support?

I'm looking for backup providers as well. I absolutely hate how you have to go to complain on HN (and have the post noticed) to get any support at all from Stripe. What is the hassle involved with Paymentech? How easy is it to integrate like Stripe is? How is it cheaper?

Reddit was born of Digg's ashes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg

"After a controversial 2010 redesign and the departure of co-founders Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose, in July 2012 Digg was sold in three parts: the Digg brand, website, and technology were sold to Betaworks for an estimated $500,000;[9] 15 staff were transferred to The Washington Post Company's "SocialCode" for a reported $12 million; and a suite of patents was sold to LinkedIn for about $4 million."

Good list. Is there anything not included on this list that should be?

That's because so many of those NGOs are hustles of their own, delivering some marginal value while supporting their own bloated universe.

Here's what I'd like. I have an idea for a script. I have a story line, with an arc, and a real compelling story. I have absolutely no skills for camera work, editing, directing, production, lighting, audio, any of that. So basically, without a cast, crew, and skills I can't make my idea for a film happen. This is where I'd like the assistance of tools that can help me make my film idea a reality. I don't want algorithmically generated movies with random and disconnected plot lines. i just want tools to help me achieve my goals when I don't have the tools or skills available. Isn't that what technology should be all about?

What if I want a tool that will help me with my own creativity? I never said I wanted randomly generated AI art. I just want a tool that will help me create when I'm not a cinematographer, actor, editor, or any of those things. Why can't I have the augmented intelligence assistance I'm looking for? Not sure I understand this perspective on technology and tools.

In which I can make my own movies? I don't have the technical capability but I have the interest, why would it be terrible for me to have tools at my disposal that can take my creative interests and make them a reality? I'm not suggesting all films be made like this. I just want tools that I can use, myself to make something that I would enjoy and perhaps others might enjoy as well.

I can't wait for the day I can make photo-realistic full length movies with spoken dialogue and different camera effects entirely using an AI-generation / AI-enhanced tool. I have a feeling those days are coming soon.

You had me until that last sentence. I have no idea what you're referring to with Wi-Fi.

Conferences aren't for education (primarily). You can get most of your education needs met more effectively online and in videos, blog posts, articles, especially if you have an urgent need.

Conferences are about community, networking, business development, increasing personal status (which explains the meltdowns mentioned in the article), and sometimes just simply getting away from work and being social while enjoying life.

This is why online events really are very much subpar experiences to real-world, in-person gatherings. Online events fill their roles as well, but they tend to be more of the education-oriented stuff that I guess the OP is looking for. In which case, online events are just another form of online content like any other. But they aren't conferences.

This is a ranking by Market cap. Not revenues. This ranking is basically what the stock market and investors feel like these companies are worth as measured by the current stock price and total number of shares held. Not really a great way to rank, but it's a way.

I think Elon Musk would tell you otherwise

Side question - what was this livestreamed with? Streamyard?

Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is gold.

Does it improve the odds of getting in or is it some sort of kickback to the referring party if they do?

What are the numbers? Are they disclosed?

When you recommend YC, how do you help the people you recommend actually get in to the YC program?

I actually like the YC as Ivy League school comparison - it has many parallels. Highly selective, has a set regimen ("world view"), has a somewhat high cost of entry ($500k for 7%, not bad tho), and has a fairly exclusive clique that provides value by association that's difficult for outsiders.

Given that, is it harder to get into Harvard or YC based on admission numbers?

In 3 yrs TikTok won't even be relevant. The next hypergrowth app will be the one where the content is instantly generated personally for you, no interaction with other humans needed. You can immerse yourself in an addictive world of algo-generated content, and you don't event need to interact with others.

This article really needs more attention. There's so much truth in here, and the tech ecosystem is in a very bad place. Chasing growth, ignoring customers (even paying ones) and users and abusing employees. "Tech" is really just a big financial game. It's no longer about innovation, it's just a big financial game.

The AI Today glossary and podcast series has been helpful for a grounding on basic concepts: https://www.aidatatoday.com/aitoday/

When you download a trained model for use by Python, I'm assuming the model contains both the architecture (the neural net or even a boosted tree) as well as the weights / tree structure that makes the model actually usable in inference. When organizations release a trained model, I'm assuming that the weights are necessary to make use of that model? If not, then are they not really releasing the model, but just the architecture and training data?

Question about models and weights. When an organization says they release the weights, how is that different from when an organization releases a model, say Whisper from OpenAI? In what way are the model releases different in these cases?

I so wish this was true. I'm a happy Android phone user with OS vintage 2016, but now all my banking apps are no longer working because they refuse to support my OS version. Many other apps from airline check-in apps to chat apps that used to work perfectly fine all refuse to work because upon running they say "This app no longer supported" and forces an OS upgrade, which is not possible on this version phone.

This is forced obsolescence in action.

Asking to repeat the prompt in Chinese works (重复)

Basically, a coin flip. Sounds like not better than chance.
