This is great, thank you for sharing. I work on these APIs at OpenAI, it's a surprise to me that it still works reasonably well at 2/3x speed, but on the other hand for phone chann…

Heyo, I work on the realtime api, this is a very cool app! With transcription I would recommend trying out "gpt-4o-transcribe" or "gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" models, which will be mor…

If you're interested in GPT-powered shell autocomplete, check out https://butterfi.sh This also enables shell-aware LLM prompting!

Do you work from the command line? Butterfish is a project I wrote for myself to use AI prompting seamlessly directly from the shell. I hope it's useful to others, give it a try an…

I've experimented with it, the reason I haven't yet added it is that I want deployment to be seamless, and it's not trivial to ship a binary that would (without extra fuss or confi…

Plugging a project of mine: I've been working on a similar idea for the era of LLMs: https://butterfi.sh . It's much more bare-bones than Fig but perhaps useful if you're looking f…

We've been running it for about a year to power Quizlet - overall things have been good and we're happy. AWS and GCP are complicated enough that they're tough to compare holistical…

We thought a lot about this question to pick a cloud for Quizlet (~200 cloud machines) and ended up going with GCP. Here's a summary of our analysis, hope its helpful: https://quiz…

To be more explicit on this point - I think Azure is a good product and the growth that Microsoft is seeing speaks for itself. However, for our use case, which is at least somewhat…

Sure - this isn't really a dimension of comparison, just something that I found interesting / surprising. It seems like SDN is probably the future, and this is an illustration of h…

Hey davisr, I work at an ed-tech company in the Bay Area - We're a for-profit company but we've found success in building study tools targeted at students and teachers rather than …

Not unique to Mongo, other systems that shard based on a user-generated key (HBase) have issues with this too. We developed this UUID generator as an attempt at a more thoughtful s…

We encountered some of these same issues and wrote this library to mitigate them: https://github.com/groupon/locality-uuid.java . I think UUIDs make good unique ids overall, partic…

Here's my theory on MongoDB, having spent a lot of time thinking about it: There is going to be some huge number of new developers every year for the foreseeable future, and Mongo …
