Re:Upwork's Human+Agent Productivity Index on Thursday November 13, 2025 @12:12PM (#45917466)
TL;DR: Upwork benchmarked human+AI collaboration on 322 real, simple freelance jobs (e.g., lead gen, simple coding). Adding a human expert to the loop increased the job completion rate by up to 70% over agents working alone.

How: They used real, paid jobs ($10-$200 range) and had expert freelancers create detailed rubrics to score the deliverables. The "human-in-the-loop" model involved the expert evaluating the agent's work, providing feedback, and guiding it to a final, client-ready state. The dataset is dynamic and based on actual client demand, not static tasks.

Well what do you think about risk and pressure a founder takes?
Well the iOS is so efficient in memory management that every new version of OS they release will run reasonably well on the older phone that Apple supports. Generally iPhone gives 4-5 years of support.

So you need to replace iPhone's less often.

If you click on the red status dots, it has report with timing.
Can someone expert in this field explain what does this means for developers and what this means in the long run?
Great design, I really like the simple UI and UX.
Many people are using Quora to market their product. The pattern I have seen is they ask a question that they want to appear for in Google (other search engines), and then they answer the questions plugging in their product.

Suitable for the company but bad for the platform.

Re:Ask HN: Is anyone using Microsoft Teams? on Saturday January 07, 2017 @04:52PM (#13346850)
I agree, Slack is the best out there, I as a customer would always like competition than monopoly.

Good Competiton always benefits customers.

I think slack should charge on per user basis for any number or team, instead of having to pay for the same user in two different teams.

I also think there should be cheaper/better competitor for slack in the market.

“The current system causes increasing amounts of misinformation…and pressure to put out more content more cheaply — depth, originality, or quality be damned. It’s unsustainable and unsatisfying for producers and consumers alike...We need a new model.”

This statement sums up today's social media state.

Re:OSX Chrome 55 Blocking non-store extensions without dev mode on Thursday January 05, 2017 @05:37AM (#13326117)
I think everyone know's what's google's game is.

Google hurriedly announced Chrome when back in the days Microsoft was thinking of blocking ads.

Then they gave the user a never seen before simple to use User Experience/User Interface. Started marketing aggressively. Recently on iOS when using Gmail app and opening a link, it suggests me to install Google Chrome.

Google's game has always been user data.
