Care to give more details?
Who’s “we” in this case? Amazon (AWS)?

how?
Right? and the app has existed for 5 years already. Plenty of time for Apple to Sherlock it.
My 2 Mac Apps bring about $700/mo each:

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?

I am working on https://vidcap.app/
There’s a slew of services that estimate download counts and revenue. The estimates are fairly accurate.
I’m surprised the Phoenicians are not mentioned in the article, as they’re the first to use it, and Tyre was in Phoenicia.
I’ve seen the fast.ai course recommended over and over here.
I made TextShot [1] in a weekend. It’s a free utility that allows you to copy text on screen that you otherwise can’t copy (from an image or a video), with a simple key command.

The coding paradigms that Modal imposes make it very hard to develop for, in comparison to, say, Replicate or Runpod.

I guess after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 showed up on HN, every hacker with some spare time wanted to replicate diskprices.com for other commodities.
It's a reference to the Matrix movie

You can list windows and detect the front window using macOS APIs instead of taking a screenshot and running OCR/detection.
Re:Show HN: Fine-tune your own Llama 2 to replace GPT-3.5/4 on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @04:14PM (#37487507)
It still does a much better job at translation than llama 2 70b even, at 6.7b params
Re:Show HN: Fine-tune your own Llama 2 to replace GPT-3.5/4 on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @02:29PM (#37485407)
For translation jobs, I've experimented with Llama 2 70B (running on Replicate) v/s GPT-3.5;

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?

I’d be more worried about mid-level devs that will be replaced by a junior++ armed with an LLM.
> How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

They will probably use their Italian in-house dev teams instead?

Re:DeArrow – Solving Clickbait on YouTube on Friday June 23, 2023 @07:10AM (#36445279)
Can't this be automated by having an LLM summarize the video's transcribed text into a concise, non-clickbait title?
Let's say that I fell for the "Twitter hustle bros" spiel, and after a lot of trying, it eventually worked out.

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).

Can I plug myself? :)

I run an indie app business where overall I make more than what I used to make working a FAANG job [1]
