Re:How the voices for ChatGPT were chosen on Monday May 20, 2024 @02:58AM (#40413015)
Would it be possible to use prompting to change aspects of the voice output? Will the voice respond angrily if you ask to act an angry character in a play?

I think it's more to do with the resilience of the cockroach.
Re:The $500M Dollar Typo on Monday January 15, 2024 @12:46AM (#38997781)
I read that part, the language of the article makes it seem like they had to actively debit everyone that was overpaid to get the money back. Underpaying them on the next pay period wouldn't require any debits to the bank accounts where the money ended up ("take it all back"). Article doesn't have really have specifics to the solution. Rather what I mean is it's not clear what "take it all back" means: is that referring to direct debits to where the money ended up in, or is that referring to adjusting what goes out in the next pay periods?
Re:The $500M Dollar Typo on Sunday January 14, 2024 @08:35PM (#38996395)
Guess it was too difficult to just adjust the pay amount (with a deduction) for the next pay period?

Re:Ask HN: I've spent $1M+ building a fitness app. Now what? on Wednesday November 22, 2023 @10:19PM (#38388823)
I appreciate the depthful reply. My quote was based on a cursory glance, I'm sure there is much more involved with a detailed spec sheet, as you pointed out.

Seems like you have the product figured out and just need to focus iterating on marketing. I'm actually in a similar position to you but having spent $400K instead of $1M.

I'd like to ask you, what were some factors that propelled you to self rationalize your method of going to market, that in hindsight turned out to be detrimental? Or in other words, what would you do if you were to go back in time and start over? Look, I know that's a painful question to answer since we can't turn back time, but I am asking it for the sake of educating others and for the potential benefits that stem from self reflection.

Appreciate your opening up on this. Thank you.

What is the break down of how that $1M was spent? No offense intended to you, but I'd have quoted $50K for the build out of the iOS app and the Watch companion app.

Curious how you spent that money?
