I strongly suggest you remove that. It's one thing to get inspiration from another site - another to completely steal someone else's work.
Its almost always through personal connections or word of mouth/referrals.
The primary concern for small to medium business is if the consultant being hired is actually capable of providing the service they are claiming to provide.
Hiring someone off of an online ad, cold call, etc. is just unnecessary risk. They'd happily pay more when they know that the output is going to be what they expect.
results can be as fast as 10x the audio length
shouldn't this say 1/10th instead?
You can use PayPal's API to get the balance assuming the user authenticates: https://developer.paypal.com/api/limited-release/balance-acc...
Venmo might have a similar API: https://venmo.com/docs/users/ (this shows a access_balance permission). Not familiar with it though.
PayPal's API also provide you with their transactions to search through so you might be able to actually verify/highlight your payment directly.
"Fair play" in mystery novels means the author gives you all the clues up front, so you have a shot at solving the mystery just like the book's detective.
Events are considered high risk by payment processors because the nature of events is that you sell the tickets before the event (ie. you accept payment without providing the service).
Shopify focuses more on people selling physical goods (traditional ecommerce), so maybe consider a platform that caters specifically to events/services - maybe something like woocommerce?.
You can use some clever prompts to see this summarization in action.
I had a long conversation with chatgpt, asking it about a book, and provide plot summaries, and asking about specific characters. After about 40-50 questions, I asked it questions like how many questions I have asked in this conversation and what they were. Eventually I was able to get it to print out the questions I asked, and they all got shortened (a lot!).
From what I understand (this might be an oversimplification).
Each prompt-response is independent, and it doesn't have a real understanding of the historical context of the conversation. This means that when you talk to the chatbot, the entire conversation history needs to be included in the prompt to give it context.
For instance, if your first prompt is "Who is the current sitting president of the United States?" and the response is "Joe Biden," and you then ask a follow-up prompt like "How tall is he?", GPT-3 won't understand what you're referring to unless the prior conversation is included in the prompt, like so:
```
User: Who is the current sitting president of the United States?
AI: Joe Biden
User: How tall is he?
AI:
```
By doing this, GPT-3 can use the context of the previous conversation to generate an appropriate response. However, as the conversation history gets longer, GPT-3's ability to maintain context weakens, and it may begin to provide irrelevant or nonsensical responses.
There is a soft limit of around 2000 tokens, which translates to approximately 1500 words. When the conversation history becomes too long, GPT-3 will summarize it in a way that preserves the important information. For example, "Who is the current sitting president of the United States?" might become "Who's the president of USA" to save space.
For most users, including the entire conversation history in the prompt is feasible for up to six prompts before context begins to degrade. After that point, it may be necessary to restate previous information or use other methods to maintain context.
While I believe that ChatGPT and Bing likely have more advanced methods for retaining conversation history, based on the recent limitations implemented, it seems that the general principle of maintaining context still holds true.
I had created something similar using Spotify and Youtube to replace a need for a spotify subscription - https://www.livejam.com
Now I'm thinking about turning it into a desktop app coz its a pain to keep a tab open for playing music.
Can you let me know what part is not working for you? Does the entire site not load?
To play a song, double-click on it, or click once and then click on the play button. Let me know if that doesnt work.
This is really cool. What happens when multiple people try to call you at the same time?

It wasn't just renting out their flat, they let other people rent out their air mattresses (or couches) too.
Early on their idea was to be a "Bed and Breakfast", to the point where they required the hosts to cook breakfast for the guests.
Why not list the name of the tool here. Maybe someone will offer to help you out for free, or in exchange for equity if the product has the potential to generate revenue.
I would appreciate any feedback on improving the design of my portfolio website, as well as my design skills in general.
Any advice on marketing myself to potential clients is also appreciated.
Quora is usually a good place for finding stuff like this. Usually someone has already asked a question for startups similar to X (assuming X is popular enough), and one of the answers is usually rather comprehensive.
For example: http://www.quora.com/What-startups-are-working-on-Uber-for-X?

There are older versions of the site that's open source, if I remember correctly. The current one isn't open source to keep the rules of detecting spam, banning users, etc. a secret.
I tried finding the link to the older codes, this is the best I could do: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki http://arclanguage.org/
This is really cool, but I think you should improve the design of the app to make it more user-friendly.
I'm a freelance designer, and I'd love to help you out.

I think he meant 'violations' not violence
I have a side project that lets users play youtube music videos. It has a lot of similar features as your project, and I'm planning on building out in the direction as your project.
I am working on a v2 for it, and I was wondering if you wanted to collaborate on it.
You can check out my project at youfm.org
I've been using 1Password. https://agilebits.com/onepassword
What's the source for the music? Youtube?
WhatsApp charged users $0.99/month, and was self-funded.
Is this accurate? I remember being charged $0.99/year back when they started out. And the first year was free.
There was an article on digg.com about Google becoming a worse search engine. The article was on news.yahoo.com
Someone commented "5 dollars to someone who points out the irony in this", I replied. The guy sent me $5 via Paypal. I used the $5 to get a .com domain (special offer on GoDaddy). The domain was for my web design portfolio, and that's how I got started.
Since posting this I've had a few people advice me to limit the launch to one or a few cities.
It seems like a good suggestion, since the app wouldn't be too useful until there's a least a few users nearby. Focusing my attention on one city would definitely help with that.
I'm still considering the best strategy, so if you have any advice, comment here or email me at ashrafulsf@gmail.com
