Ask HN: Successful SaaS Acquisition Story?
I'm curious if anyone here has acquired a SaaS or tiny startup/side project and wishes to share the story.
Tubbie [1] is a simple and clean Mac YouTube downloader.
Mission Control Plus [2] fixes something stupidly simple: it adds closing, minimizing and quitting apps functionality to macOS' Mission Control.
Ask HN: Any resources for OCW-like courses, but more snack-able?
I have about an hour a day to learn new things and watch lectures. Unfortunately though, I don’t currently have the focus and the intent to go through one whole course from A to Z.Are there resources for OCW-quality lectures, but in a more snack-able format? As in, you can get a lot of benefits from one lecture, instead of having to go through the whole course?

For about 1000 input tokens (and resulting 1000 output tokens), to my surprise, GPT-3.5 turbo was 100x cheaper than Llama 2.
Llama 7B wasn't up to the task fyi, producing very poor translations.
I believe that OpenAI priced GPT-3.5 aggressively cheap in order to make it a non-brainer to rely on them rather than relying on other vendors (even open source models).
I'm curious to see if others have gotten different results?
They will probably use their Italian in-house dev teams instead?
It was hard AF, but eventually I managed to get a 1 person business running, one that doesn't rob me of my time and I have several flywheels in action now that generate decent income (I won't shill, you can check my profile if you're curious).
I run an indie app business where overall I make more than what I used to make working a FAANG job [1]
