Ask HN: Does a local, Git-backed LLM "compiler" for personal notes make sense?

Back in 2012, my very first startup was a note-taking and document storage app. Think Evernote meets Google Drive, but with a much faster UI. We managed to claw our way up to 1,800 active users. Then Google announced 25GB of free storage for Drive, and overnight, our business model evaporated. We had to shut down the company.I've been through the startup ringer four times since then. Despite...

I don’t think we can ignore this. Calling him "senile old men" and pushing for 70-hour work weeks says everything about the mindset. When you've run a people sweatshop model for years, of course, you want more "billable" hours.

He seriously needs to step out of his echo chamber and get real advisors and a far better PR team. Even Instagram dog accounts manage their public image better.

We are trying to get some help on this issue. https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-callkeep...

Gist: The issue is related to using RNCallKeep library in a React Native app on Android. When a call is initiated while the app is in the background or closed state, the RNCallKeep UI is invoked, but the desired behavior is to open the app's screen and handle the call through the app. The RNCallKeep.backToForeground() function is used to achieve this, but it causes the audio to stop working properly when using Agora to connect VOIP calls. This issue does not occur when handling calls manually and is only happening on Android, not on iOS devices.

Re:How to use ChatGPT to boost your developer productivity on Tuesday January 17, 2023 @08:49AM (#34412304)
I am mainly using ChatGPT to inform my google search options.

So instead of searching on google "what data stores to use for saving embeddings" . I ask ChatGPT "What are recommended datastores for saving embeddings". The second pre query gives me sense of better starting point, that to start with a generic query.

While asking questions to which I get vague response or non responses. I usually ask it to behave as if it's it's decision.

For instance, If you ask what is the best way to do X and it provides 2/3 ways in a generic way. It's some times productive to ask the same prompt to which open it would choose if it was him choosing the solution.

This has worked for me fairly well.

Will checkout thanks.

Yeah, Having built a web application serving 100K+ users in Go. First 2/3 weeks were spent on making sure we were a framework. So new Modules could be added. New external calls were abstracted and also dealt with lot of circular dependency.

This was all fun and learning, but wouldn't mind having a "Flask" or "Express" version of a Golang framework which took care of all the boilerplate out of the box.

We did try some existing solution to no avail like Tiny etc.

But ended up building a non-framework framework anyways especially to support new features/modules and new devs coming it.

True. I think building a good repo of keywords would be interesting. Want to see how can we using the ML for building these keywords repositories.
I think being CEO for X number of places is more of a directions setting and "visionary" thinking if you have a strong execution layer beneath you.

Twitter just seems to be getting some attention as a recent project and will be hands-on till the actual doers are in the right places.

If you are not tasked with raising capital and hiring people, I am guessing you can be CEO in many more places. :)

Re:Start Paying for Internet Stuff on Wednesday November 02, 2022 @11:38AM (#33437595)
We do pay for most of the useful things online (Editor/GitHub/Aws/Apps/ etc). Ad-supported platforms, in my opinion, don't get to have a say. As someone pointed out I don't lose personally if frivolous apps start asking for money. And again this may be just me but ig, Twitter, FB etc don't add any value to work either way.

STDs are short-term distractions :) best phrase I learnt today/
Thanks let me explore this more and how this works.

Ask HN: How do you structure information from multiple sources and contexts?

I am struggling to find a solid model to do this for some time and will ask for help from the community.I am a senior software engineer the "full-stack kind" I have muscle memory for a fairly decent amount of things but as we know the industry is wide and large so the depth and breadth of knowledge.Do you have a good method or model for information/knowledge to be captured, organized, learned?...

You can pay cash, and tell them you don't need help with the setup.

I would say Flask.

This or similar phones from MS, won't change anything. People will still go for android with a similar price range and more screen size. We got two such phones for our office to use on travel sometime back, but they just lie there with no takers. People still use their regular phones with the power backup on the go.
