Hi, is your team planning on adding a spending cap? Last I tried, there was no reasonable way to do this. It keeps me away from your platform because runaway inference is a real risk for any app that calls LLMs programatically.
Its not that simple, but it would be straight forward to duplicate the outputs of this with a simple LLM + ffmpeg workflow. They did mention a custom model on the landing page, and if they've trained one then you would be spending much more money on each output than they are. Because without a fine-tuned model there would be a lot of inference done for QA and refinement of each prompt | clip | frame .
Did you forget to share it?
"The Scott Alexander article misses the whole point. Of course ivermectin on its own is not particularly helpful (unless you want to treat worms,
The treatment regimen the American group is recommending includes Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc and a Zinc ionophore (drug that facilitates cellular absorption of Zinc). The ionophore can be Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine or Quercetin.
I have been baffled up until now why studies are not looking specifically at the combined treatment, just the ionophore, with no regard to whether it was being taken with Zinc or the other drugs. The fact that even Scott seems to have overlooked this is very concerning.
It's the Zinc that inhibits replication in many viruses, and ionophores like ivermectin increase zinc absorption."

The thing to learn here is that there's no conspiracy, trials are underway, and science is already working properly.
Thank God! I was worried it may be a nuanced situation full of brazen conflicts of interest.
You may be a good candidate for Ivermectin, sir. I believe you have worms in your brain.

Well said.
This is a great podcast about exercise and the brain. Most interesting to me is how exercise directly increases brain plasticity :

This is completely off topic, but, as far as I can tell they used Kickstarter in place of ticket sales.
Is that not the case?
"Occasionally they overlap in an individual" and "Surely a coder can have a good idea about how to lay out a decent interface" are basically the same sentence.
And if a designer had a working product after the "architect" part, you'd see a lot more designer-only apps being built.
The fact is that a coder CAN get a working product up without the design-equivalent of "coding". They can lay out a UI just as well as an average professional designer (I would know), but the execution will certainly fall short of an average professional designer (I would know).
With that said, I'd always prefer to hire an excellent designer before building a UI, but I rarely will because I like to build more than I like perfect UIs.
You are assuming that the programmer uses the theme's markup. I buy themes for their PSD and mark it up myself.
Congratulations!
He was referencing a quote, not the structure of 37 Signals.
You aren't making a very clear point. Are you saying that : "Alpha males will always assume they'll end up in the top spot, so when they choose rules for a situation regarding two competing agents, their choices will favor the agent in with the most authority"?
If so, then you are assuming a context in which the agents of the situation can change the roles in which they are assigned permanently. That is not the case in this context, because the agents (Jason Fried's support team) are rotated between management and worker, and no one is getting promoted vertically.
Wufoo uses this effect on the add-field options when you click "add field", if the add-field options are already open.
It directed me to what I wanted immediately.
> Perhaps from the platform's perspective, not from the sellers. The motivation is to enable someone to quickly put up an item for sale. I can pretty damn quickly put up a single item for sale on ebay too.
You are completely wrong. The model is entirely different from the seller's perspective. See the author's original comment. I've included it below.
>How does this work for art though? I mean you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it. This is also answered by the original comment.
"There have been many times in the past where I wanted to share a link - on Twitter or just through IM with a few friends - but did not want to go through the overhead of setting up a whole store."
The seller will be sharing a link with a person who they have a seller/buyer relationship with. The product in question is the last step in a process that the seller has complete control over.
No more of this. Cheers,
Come on, if you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it obviously the seller can show you a smaller/low-res/watermarked/whatevered version.
The second question has been answered.
This is a completely different model than ebay.
These are really bad questions. I'm not putting you down - its no big deal, but just a little critical thought should answer these for you.
Cheers,
Awesome counter.
> Learning how to read people in-depth is incredibly valuable.
You think that playing poker teaches you how to read people past the poker table? In what context? This sounds very delusional to me. In business, if you are doing anything with a lot of money at stake (that is not illicit), then the cards are always face up if you do enough work.
> Also learning how to stand your ground and unflinchingly bluff (or deliberatly avoid telegraphing your hand) is also a great skill to have.
You think this is a "great" skill? I think its valuable, but not as valuable as learning code or understanding how the economy works.
Also, you didn't even mention discipline or emotional control. Those are real values that poker will teach you. Bankroll management, dealing with long term variance, and getting bad beats make you either toughen up or break.
How old are you? How long have you been playing poker? I don't mean it derogatorily. I've played A LOT of poker and I've done a lot of other things. Poker has given me less skills than organizing soccer games.
The most important point that you made is that poker brings nothing to the table for a player except money. You learn little that can be monetized away from the table, and spend your time building a bankroll instead of building a business that has value other than the money it brings in.
Poker doesn't scale. The goal is to increase your hourly rate. Spend your time coding.

I'm sorry. This part of life sucks. I'm going to shoot from the hip and give some insight. My apologies if it hurts.
Make sure you go see them, and show them some affection and share some laughs.
If they have a loving family and friends, someone or a few people will be physically supporting them throughout their illness. Be mindful of those who are giving them this support. They will experience their loved one decline quickly. Give THEM support. Be wary of the person who holds it all together, does the right thing, and then falls apart when their loved one dies. They need company and friendship after it all.
Good luck, and may the sun shine on your backs.

This is "minimum viable" done perfectly. Well done.

I agree with you.
One of the things to learn in life is who to listen to and who to ignore.
I can align with the author - being around people who do not accept mistakes or shortcomings as part of a positive learning process is frustrating - but saying that "Geeks" do this too often and more than other circles is untrue.
That idiot should just quit writing blog posts.
There is plenty of documentation on www.ycombinator.com that answers this question.
Based on the similar questions popping up it seems that my situation is common : plenty of talented people are ready to commit as soon as funding is certain.
Thank you for responding.
If you were interested in funding a single applicant, but only if they had a co-founder, would you reach out and tell them that or would you just toss the application in the reject pile?
Chris replied via his live support that he has an API and some support for Exaile (a linux player). Sick!
Thanks for that signup process.
How hard is it to extend this to some linux apps like Amarok or VLC? Is that in your development list, or are the programs too sparse?
