Funny enough. I usually say:

Don't let your memes be dreams.

One of the topics I didn't see discussed in this article is how we're expected to validate the results of the output of the AI.

Really liked the announcement and I think this is a great step forward. Looking forward to use it. However I don't really see how we can verify the validity of AI responses with some statistical significance.

For example, one of the video demos shows Gemini updating a graph from some scientific literature. How do we know the data it received for the graph is accurate?

It feels like to me there is a missing prompt step not shown, which is to have a competing advisarial model be prompted to validate the results of the other model with some generated code that a human could audit.

Basically when humans work together to do the work, we review each other's work. I don't see why AIs can't do the same with a human additionally verifying it.

Just to add to the noise. Tech literacy doesn't always translate into product or business literacy.

Scale. A restaurant can only serve 100's or maybe 1000's of guests in a single day.

Spotify has Millions of subscriptions. 2% at scale is significant.

Here is their recent Q3 earnings report: https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-10-24/spotify-reports-thir...

Their revenue was 3.4 Billion Euros at 2% they can take away 68 Million dollars. Which is more than enough for the business to be viable.

I would say the secret management part typically isn't the most insane or annoying part.

For me it's external system state management. Like making sure the integration test db is cleaned up correctly.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of trunk based development. It's my preferred operating method for git.

I know a lot of people like git flow for its ability to create seperate envs that can be controlled and tested, however it always felt extremely unnecessary to me when building saas products. Changes should not be long lived in this space.

I can understand how git flow would be great when the product is an artifact like a docker image, binary, vm image etc... but for managed applications / saas stuff, it's not the best.

Happens a lot in upstate ny too, been to a few places like this. For what it's worth.

Funny enough. I only use merge because rebase makes no sense to me.

As an aside, I think git complexity can arise for two reasons. One is legitimate, if you have hundreds or thousands of devs committing to the same repo regularly you need to have some order to the chaos otherwise it just will grind to a halt.

The other is bullshit. Where some dev / management people believe that the git process needs to be complex for small teams due to the need to justify their place by "promoting safety". In small team environments, simple branching off of main and then committing prs directly to main is more than enough in my opinion.

But git gives you the tools to go as crazy as you want, so some people do.

It's possible that they jump straight to the hybrid solution that many companies now make. Like migrating to the cloud could be just to have backups of papers in s3 with failures to download them initially then pass through to the s3 location seamlessly. It could also be trying to rewrite everything to run on lambda.

My point being that migrating to the cloud means different things to different companies/groups.

Could you comment on what you're using deno in prod for? I'm curious to see and learn more about deno for production cases. I'm a big ts and nodejs user, and deno always seemed interesting to me. However I am afraid of being an early mover, so I like to learn more about use cases people have validated.

> While NACFE didn’t specify the payload for this particular day, it did say that those trucks averaged over 70,000 lbs of loads

I'd suspect that the load is "low" but probably not unloaded.

I've only really used audacity for any sort of audio work before.

Is there a short list of the differences between this tool and audacity. Like when would I want to use this tool over importing the audio into audacity.

Genuinely curious, bit of a noob when it comes to audio analysis.

I don't really get this idea that companies can be so vastly competitent and incompetent at the same time. People make new products, if they make something that people want, it gets noticed. Eventually those with a lot of money come along and try to figure out how/if they can also make money on the same thing. It's not some vast conspiracy.

Surprised it didn't mention the word or rather not word, "uhhh" or "umm" when we don't know what to say and need to fill silence.

I know other languages and cultures have slight variations but the ending sound as far as I have seen is the same.

Hey thanks for commenting here. I think many people in hn don't realize that Foss projects maintained and managed by a company are used to further a commercial goal otherwise ardunio would go under and then it doesn't matter the state of the Foss stuff. If in the future for whatever reason the sentiment for the Foss portion changes the community can always fork it, or continue development. That's the beauty of open source software.

I'm also biased since I'm building a vc backed product as well.

Super stoked to see how your professional and enterprise offerings turn out. Do you have a public roadmap anywhere?

Math can be structured and proven verifiably true or false. Things are labeled as conjectures when it's unknown if it's true in all cases. In less formal fields (all other scientific fields) there are more unknowns since experimentation failures cause issues. As the scale of the experiments' unknowns increase so does the difficulty for reproduction etc...

Psychology, sociology, economics and other high level scientific forms have so many unknowns that it's extreamly difficult to verify if a claim is scientifically true so its not surprising to me that fraud is easier in these fields than others.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this was meant to mean a technically more tricky problem.

If it was citizens I could see a case being made that protection implementation could be based on the inputted address that is required for billing or shipping. If it's solely based on if you're physically in a country, then you need to determine in your app if the user is currently in an eu country or not. Which to me at least is more technically difficult, than just going off of a user entered address.

I do wonder if tor would allow servers to have the difficulty to be "tuneable" so that service A with a small server but a solid fan base could have a high difficulty scaling that everyone knows about, and service B has a lower difficulty scaling but more servers behind it.

Did the same thing. Just scrolled to find it!

Let's call it Javascript!

I don't think that it's necessarily speed which is the thing that we should look for. It's how best to convert large amounts of moving air into rational motion. So a large slow moving windmill may generate more power than a smaller faster moving one.

Couldn't you make the same argument about https requests over the clear net? You're request is being processed by intermediaries through your isp which three letter agencies could incorrectly correlate with you.

I know there are deep fundamental technical differences, but I could see an outcome where the end result is the same across both services. I'm not trying to justify to use tor as well, just that I don't think the argument of guilt through incorrect association is solved by not using tor.

I really don't think that's necessary. Just by having reasonable proximity to Public trashcans radically reduces littering.

Some level of perceived enforcement is required, but in reality it just needs to be a sign with a high fine on it. And finally some level of public funded cleanup groups and you can get pretty far with keeping spaces clean.

If you want to experiment with something new and fun pick bun or deno.

If you're looking to currently build a larger scale project with a few people that supports a lot of users, it's safer to go with nodejs/typescript.

Funny enough this appears at face value to be the same idea behind proof of stake concensus protcals.... lololol

I think thats implied. Https practically to users (and many clients and servers) is no different than http, even though they're very different in implementation.

Not the poster of the question,

But I think they're referencing the litany of transpilers and repackagers which exist for js. So you can add new features and then still have it run on really old systems like internet explorer 9 if you need to.

This has problems obviously and in my opinion for python it would be preferable.

My reasoning being that if you need your code to work on an older system being able to write and use current syntax is preferable to not, and the hard bifurcation that python did with 2 to 3 and now potentially with 3 to nogil seems to me just to break apart the ecosystem more.

Can we just start with primitives and see what happens.

You know it's funny that I never noticed this, I always turn off the voice directions since I found them annoying.

But yeah that's an annoying experience if you use voice directions, and in some instances I could see it as really degrading the directions app, since "taking a left at the intersection" may be more clear than "turn left at the kfc"

Great response, love your project. I'm a big music nerd and did a bunch of work in radio for a while.

Personally I think that this project is really onto something, I can see music visualization being a really great integrated feature into a lot of different pieces of software, such as in a spotify player, or ableton, youtube etc...

I think that your idea is in the right place but your go to market motion needs some work as other people pointed out. I don't know if you're going to find a lot of solo producers, or individual devs willing to pay 8$ a month for this.

I could see there being a generous free tier and then having it scale as the use of the product increases. There are also other options for changing monetization.

If you want to talk about this more, I work with companies a lot to discuss pricing strategy and gtm motions. Feel free to ping me my contact info is in my profile.
