tarunmuvvala··on Show HN: Open-source infra for building embedded data pipelines
Hey folks

The product looks great. I had faced such situations in past with different tools.

You should make the PM and Dev community aware of this tool to get better leads and usecases.

Wish you best for the future.

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: What will be the large-scale second-order consequence of AI Art?
Some thoughts I get once I think about this.

All marketing and design stuff will move to cheap labour countries. The company in the emerging markets will employ 1000s of people who will get the business context from people .

They will employ all these people with AI tools to get creative and generate multiple options to be sent back to main office.

To make better AI, they will need better data. I can see many Mturk kind of gamification and crypto level stuff driving millions of people to tag data .AI will get multiple different inputs for a same image and then AI can keep improving on top of that.

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Will AI-generated images flooding the web pollute future training data?
Thanks for answering. If its Publicly sourced data. There is huge opportunity for some create a DATA DAO where data better labelled and people can use their data to use the AI for their usecases.

What do you think of challenges for such use cases?

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Will AI-generated images flooding the web pollute future training data?
I am curious how do these AI get the data sourced?

Is it the free floating images on the internet or is it the data that we keep on the servers of the BigTech?

tarunmuvvala··on Tokenising Open Source Development
I have seen some people speaking of tokenizing opensource code so that the right incentives are available for the people to continue developing a project over a long term.

Is this the better of doing SAAS in future? What is your opinion?

tarunmuvvala··on Show HN: Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn
It is true as they say that drug economy and Porn industry are at the forefront of adopting new tech.

I couldn't imagine this in my dream that this can be one of the usecase.

There's definitely some huge threat to the porn industry and its workers at the same time we can see that people may just misuse this to damage the image of an existing lady.

As they say if it takes minutes to generate image , how long before it becomes a video of 1 or 2 min.

tarunmuvvala··on Show HN: ZORP – Native Android and iOS app builder for internal teams
Great Work team!

Loved the simplicity and ease of use of the platform.

I am curious on different use cases the tool can be used apart from the Delivery, Sales lead, Warehousing etc on the site.

Builder and founders can easily use this tool on Day 1 to automate internal operation for the mobile workforce.

tarunmuvvala··on High Global Debt
What happens next? is it the masses that get hurt most? What are the unforeseen consequences?

Well, This call for Chip manufacturing diversification.

I can't imagine a world without Taiwan and no chip manufacturers

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: What's the next big thing that few people are talking about?
This is something I have been discussing with forums and friends

The Keynesian economics principals has an assumption that says 'goods are scarce`

And if the next 15-30 years is an era of exponential then how should the economics behave?

Today the securities are on paper and not linked to each other.

if just making them on-chain improves the provability that an asset is not getting leverage multiple time in an ecosystem

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: What skills have given you a 10x return?
SQL

I am not dependent on an analyst to define the logic. I can also understand the correctness of data if I know what the logic does.

Its very easy to fool someone if they don't get the data processing.

tarunmuvvala··on Show HN: Extensible OSS Retool Alternative
Love that there is an alternative OSS for internal tooling.

As a PM , I totally underappreciate the power of these tools in streamlining the workflows across the org.

tarunmuvvala··on Show HN: Discourse Announces Chat
A very underrated application. But I like the simplicity of this .

While it works beautiful on Desktops and big screen. I find their UI clumsy for mobile. I hope they make some progress there.

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Why has quality of YouTube reduced drastically?
All creators are hacking the algorithms. More subscribers, more views, more comments, more like etc.

As the hacks get more open , Youtube needs to include more granular details from user perspective. Like community subscribers, comments, retention cohorts for the channel etc.

Also, feel that youtube is pushing monetization a lot.I am seeing every creator putting 3-4 ads in good videos.

tarunmuvvala··on I don’t have notifications enabled, nowhere and never
Same here,apart from notifications

I am now limiting time on Youtube, twitter and other limitless scrolling site.

We need a review system for this.

I check how many times I unlock my phone in a day and it ranges from 80-120.I wish to reduce this and do more deep work.

tarunmuvvala··on Filecoin Virtual Machine – Polyglot, WASM-based execution environment
Asking as product enthusiast,I have seen the development of Filecoin over the years.

What are some great usecases for filecoin at the current state?

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Local facial recognition photo app to find old photos of me
Yes, I have been missing Picasa too.

I literally miss their timeline, albums and other cool editing features too.

Doing on webapps is cumbersome and slow.

if you are looking for apple/google alternative checkout ente.io

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Should AI trained on publicly available data be banned?
I am not sure if it will work but worth experimenting. Probably you will have a certain limitations on free usage before the tokens.

I feel there has be an easy way for to earn digital rights, digital equity , digital money for the artistic minds in this digital era which is proliferating very fast.

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Do You Trust Grammarly?
Well its a great tool for non native English speakers. It helps them on correcting a lot of basics and build confidence once you get feedback.

But I am not sure of the correctness in the advanced stages.

I think the next set of companies will become more smarter in their vesting terms.

Just think about it, if these data point of selling claims get be bought to on-chain then I am sure people and next set of companies will not borrow some such investors.

because of this particular reason I feel DeFi will replace traditional finance first before any other form of crypto companies takes.

A recent IMF admitted that DeFi is 10x efficient than TradFi.I am sure once DeFi get a bit regulated and has better risk management principal embedded into code the system will become more efficient

I also see the recent housing crackdown and loss of money for common people playing an important role of smart contract lead world for the financial safety of the larger population. People are losing trust way faster than they are able to change systems

In an era where movement of money is getting fast, the rich are getting richer by holder higher equity.

I find the concept of tokenization as a better way to redistribute equity.

I think about the tokens as money with superpowers which can act like equity , API keys and loyalty card too.

Think of tokens as a 100x version of managing equity table in a company.

tarunmuvvala··on India’s central bank wants to ban cryptocurrencies, government says
Well the government didn't ban it yet. the Ministry is in consultation with the other governments to find a good way to regulate the sector.

I think every country wants to track the inflow and outflow of money.Once they have some mechanism either through CBDC or KYCed wallets I feel the sector will just boom like any other software company.

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: Should AI trained on publicly available data be banned?
I think banning not a great option. Banning will curb the creativity of the thinker. The problem is the we need to provide a mechanism which will enable the contributors in monetary and give a form of recognition too.

We need to find a way to enable benefits to all the data contributors. I find the Gitcoin way of developing a product as great way to engage community and enable folks with a equity enabled token . Something similar should happen with data providers too.

Foundations, NGO or public dataset orgs can just sell the token in the market to people who want to use the AI and benefit from it.

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: How to pass a “Product Sense” interview?
Some things which worked for me:

- Align on how he perceives success. It can be a framework or Metrics. This thing will help you always align with the person at any point of time. If the topic deviates, you can always use the success definition as a point to bring the discussion back to track.

- Having multiple perspective. This helps you build holistic thinking around product and builds confidence in the conversation - Engineering, Business, Finance(Unit economics), Marketing etc shows that you can work across the teams and structure

tarunmuvvala··on Ask HN: What is the best metrics for open-source startups
I am curious if there is way to identify the numbers of companies leveraging open source project. That can a very good metric to understand the ease of use and the OSS potential impact.

The other metric, I am keen is know if developers in these companies giving back to these OSS. Apache software are very good example for this.
