Math is off. Total number of people detained in 2023 was 270k out of 66million annual visitors. 0.4% chance. Chances of dying in a plane crash are roughly 1 in million (Google tell…

Every MLE who didnt study Math really likes to downplay its importance. Yeah you dont need measure theoretic probability, but you need a grasp of Lin Alg to structure your computat…

What are they teaching in high schools these days that people can do this ? Well done and congratulations on the release.

One from Berlin, one from the UK, one from Canada. Not sure how many more.

I think at this point you should be more worried about being thrown in a detention centre. But the likelihood of being affected gun violence in be US especially if you stick to the…

YCs success has nothing to do with just YC (not to take credit away) but rather from the fact that the US is a large unified well-regulated market. EU has sensible rules sure but t…

Honestly most people want to be him. Everbody craves money and unchecked power. The problem is nobody understands that what he's doing is against their interests.

I think they do mean Kafka. Anyways theres connectors from Kafka to a bunch of things so I think its a reasonable choice.

This is a little bit of a word soup. Its hard to see why the various redesigns were done without a set of requirements. I dont get why you'd trigger Airflow workflows for doing CDC…

Congratulations on the release. Although I hope the developers take the lesson that AI frameworks are unnecessary. You don't need frameworks to write HTTP calls. Just a good enough…

Not the essay for me. I actually lost patience midway. The author lost me at "when we are young we dream of meeting our idols." I never gave a shit. I mean my idols were fictional …

I have been on firefox since forever. Not quite sure why people would even bother with Edge unless of course its the "approved" browser in your org.

Hide it before Doge gets wind ?

Curious - do people migrate due to the price tag, ease of use, sth else ?

Why are cloud based open source things working now but failed the first time Heroku came around ?

They are much better than Teslas, which are b generally shit cars.

Its not fast without pre-segmentation as they do in WhisperX. It actually has terrible transcription speed. For speedup we have to use Ctranslate2 kernels. The decoding code is als…

Their interviews were one of the easiest things I ever did. Pay 150bucks for Leetcode, sort by company, memorize the solution and show up. Even when solving problems in the real wo…

You dont need talent to succeed. Just grit and certain ruthlessness. If the market awards this behaviour then whatever.

I like t-shirt estimates but only when we all agree we known wtf we are talking about. I also really like hacks. They get the job done and not everything needs layers and layers of…

> Speech to text using whisper is almost perfect. This isn't true. On benchmarks whisper is not SOTA. It is said to be noise resistant but it doesn't compare well with Conformer ba…

OP, these startups can't offer you a job because they don't have the money to pay you. Plain and simple. Its not related to your skills in any way.

Say the words "fuck it" and launch the paid version. Launch it here on HN / Reddit/ Linkedin wherever. The point is not to ensure your product succeeds but rather to try abd dispro…

> what they really mean is that product quality doesn’t matter. But does it matter ? I think the only metric with optimising for is latency. Other stuff is something we do.

> Shying away from a tool just because it has a reputation is just as silly as using it for a hype. Trying to explain this to a team is one of the most frustrating things ever. Mos…
