Worldcoin foundation has open-sourced their iris recognition pipeline.
Not sure if this is really “code red” for Google. First of all they also have strong language models (PaLM) but more importantly they already have a huge user base. Even though chatGPT achieved a million active users within five days (which is already impressive) Google would probably have a few orders of magnitude more right on day one if they were to ship such a feature. One reason Google might not want to do it right know, is that they need to care more about public perception. Shipping an engine that obviously does mistakes seems way more dangerous to a corporation like Google than a “startup” like OpenAi when it comes to public perception. What do you think?

My first impression of this tool when I first used it a couple of years back was "Oh okay, a tiny little tool to find the IP address of a device you want to ssh on". Only over time I realised how powerful it actually is.

Is it done with OpenAi's whisper? Now it would be cool to have it summerized by ChatGPT.

I have always enjoyed the time where there was no internet on an aircraft. It has been the only time when I could really be offline without having a slight guilty conscience.

Show HN: Asananas – Little tool to monitor resource allocation in Asana

https://github.com/christianbrendel/asananas

Asananas helps you with your project management in Asana. It assumes that a single Asana project, e.g. called "Company Workstreams", is used for high-level project planning of your company or your team. Different projects/workstreams are reflected in Asana as tasks in the dedicated Asana project. These Asana tasks can be assigned to different people and have a start and a due date. Asananas...

Re:Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on? on Friday September 16, 2022 @04:06PM (#32871361)
Our company uses Asana for tracking projects and their dependencies on a high level. However, for tracking programming projects in more detail we are using Linear. It is a pain to keep due dates, assignees, project status etc in sync if you need to do that manually. So I decided to develop a little bridge that syncs both platforms automatically. Once finished and fully tested I am going to open source it. Maybe someone out there has the same problem :)

A couple of months ago I wrote a blog post that explains supervised contrastive loss in more detail. It is quite beta and I have never really shared it with anyone outside the company so far, so happy for any feedback.
