topicseed··on New models and developer products
It was but most of that functionality was within the "function calling", not really within the assistant as a top 10 of Paris sights isn't really that crazy. Plotting these on a map is the key part which is still your own code, not GPT-based.
topicseed··on GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
They will allow revenue sharing so then it's a matter of how many customers they'd be able to offer you for your app; and whether it makes sense for you to distribute through them or bypass them and distribute yourself.
topicseed··on New models and developer products
128,000 token context, Assistants API, JSON mode, April 2023 knowledge cutoff, GPT 4 Turbo, lower pricing, custom GPTs, a good bunch of announcements all-round!

topicseed··on Google Cloud Spanner is now half the cost of Amazon DynamoDB
Pricing per operation would make this an no-brainer for cases where DynamoDB and Spanner are considered good options.
topicseed··on Every database will become a vector database sooner or later
Would you say the same about graph databases? (e.g., Neo4j, ArangoDB, Neptune)
topicseed··on FTC sues Amazon for illegally maintaining monopoly power
And nuked affiliate sites that promoted Amazon links primarily, wild.
topicseed··on My solopreneur story
True, and I resonate so much with that. So many amazing ideas that were abandoned at 60% completion, after passion fades, a few days or weeks later.

It's tough to scope, build, deliver. Let alone then market, sell, and keep on improving. All of this with no promise of revenue, big or small.

Now, I hate these Twitter humblebrags but one can't knock his hustle.

this is a godsend...

Extensions don't seem to work with business Workspace accounts as of yet.

By showing ads... They'll figure out units that look native and history will repeat itself.
topicseed··on Show HN: Vector Embedding Server in under 100 lines of code
I see you're skipping too long sentences — any thoughts on how you would handle them and chunk them further if they weren't skipped?

Good to see non-Go code from you, ha ;)

topicseed··on Upcoming .com and .xyz domain price increase
Very!
topicseed··on Ask HN: Why has ecommerce become incompatible with uBlock?
GTM stuff probably
topicseed··on Ask HN: Bought a SaaS company, it's going down 2% per month
Get in touch with ex-customers and seek answers on why they're leaving. And fix these issues as you better understand them.
topicseed··on Tell HN: Gmail rate limiting emails from AWS SES
I think this is a spammy neighbour problem on that sending IP. Might be you, might be someone else who's using SES. But whoever sends from this IP is penalised.
topicseed··on London Then and Now: Aerial Shots Show City Grow over Past Two Decades
There's a lot of residential in these shots, too. Commercial skyscrapers are more "visible" but there's also plenty of residential being built. Now, it's not affordable and probably outside of most people's means, but it's there and making useless areas like Nine Elms somewhat of hot spots – not everybody's cuppa tea for sure, but some do like it for whatever reason(s).
topicseed··on London Then and Now: Aerial Shots Show City Grow over Past Two Decades
True. The Gherkin even just ten years or so ago was in all the b-roll footage whenever there was a documentary or segment about London, alongside Big Ben images.

Now, there are a whole bunch of skyscrapers, few with character (e.g., Shard), and many pretty basic (alongside Bishopsgate).

Overall, London keeps on building in so many of its areas (Kings Cross, City, Nine Elms, Victoria), and it's nice to see. I just hope these won't sit empty...

So what's your third option, if any
topicseed··on YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers
Or just pay for YouTube Premium?
topicseed··on Ask HN: If Google Workspace/Gsuite disappeared tomorrow, where would you go?
Microsoft Office. But I'd miss Google Docs/Sheets/Slides a whole lot.
topicseed··on Show HN: I made an open-source Notion-style WYSYWIG editor
What if I need to type a note with C++ in it? ;)
topicseed··on Ask HN: Why would Google sell Google domains to Squarespace?
Wouldn't the logical upsell be Google Workspace...?
topicseed··on The Guardian bans all gambling advertising
The Telegraph seems to get quite a bit of revenue from their gambling content.

An example is https://www.telegraph.co.uk/betting/casino-guides/blackjack/

It's just odd to have this on a trusted national newspaper. Feels very out of place.

topicseed··on Crypto bot borrows $200M in a flash loan to secure just $3 of profit
Is this what MEV searchers do, they scour and analyse blockchain(s) to find what such sequences of sure-fire trades could be?
topicseed··on Taurine deficiency as a driver of aging
What's wrong with sucralose?
topicseed··on Google no longer automatically indexes websites?
Very true. Some client websites have had half their keywords gone from position 1-3 to deindexed, then back, then gone, then back, and that's been since February 2023.
topicseed··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
Yep, it's struggling for me with simple problems like splitting full names and so on. Few weeks ago, it was bang on — and the task is literally the same

topicseed··on Go with PHP
To me, dependency management is a part of software maintenance and it's not always just 'running in place'. Updates bring security patches (sometimes not publicly explained or disclosed), performance improvements, and new features that could enhance the value generated by the said software.
topicseed··on Go with PHP
Yeh, JS-land is wild. In a way, it's amazing that this ecosystem is so lively and fertile, but my gosh it's draining.
