Co-created Dall-E Mini (now named Craiyon, and I am not involved anymore). It was among the first text to language models created independently. And it was fully open source. It also got covered by New York Times in the article covering Dall-E 2 by Cade Metz.

I used it and loved it a lot, thank you!

Delicious was awesome, and is dearly missed. Thank you for your contribution. I have always wondered if it could be scaled to a Google alternative. Ranking pages by how many people have bookmarked them seems like a good alternative to PageRank.

And inspired the design of HN! https://web.archive.org/web/20051220094850/http://del.icio.u... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=903365 https://www.flickr.com/photos/joshu/sets/72157600740166824 (credit to joshu)
The wordpress suggestion in the response is just A+.
I wrote a vaccine booking availability scraper that helped double digits of people get a COVID vaccine a few weeks sooner otherwise.
To check my understanding: this is about changing the order of vaccinations rather than speeding up vaccinations right?
We did rollouts by age groups, and generally the appointments in urban areas would be two weeks out, but once you had a vaccination booking you could reschedule it. So everyone would book the first thing they found on the site, then could start looking for appointments made available due to other people rescheduling.

Over the last 4 years I built a label design and print app using Electron/React. It has 5000+ desktop users and will reach 7 figures in revenue in the next year. I recently launched a new thermal label printer brand named mydpi. Right now I'm selling a 300 DPI direct-thermal version to compete with DYMO and low-end Zebra. In a month I'll launch a thermal-transfer version with bundled ribbon/labels. I never thought I'…
I'm working towards releasing my first Electron app now and this has been a concern for me.

Any tips on electron build tools to secure Electron apps that have proprietary logic like this seems like it would have? I saw your posts and was curious since this seems like it would have a lot of proprietary JS to protect against cracking. I've seen Bytenode and asarmor but they don't seem as though they're very well maintained or ready for primetime. I'm working towards releasing my first Electron app now and thi…
The wild thing about electron, and my app specifically, is that it relies on a handful of native modules and at least one WASM “binary” - and let me tell you, if you think you understand how it works in both dev and prod, I don’t believe you… because it’s incredibly complex and confusing. Throw in cross platform code signing, notarization, start praying.
But for everything else there’s webpack “optimizations” via uglify or similar to mangle variables and function names. Feel free to email if you’re looking for specific configs or recommendations. I’m sure there’s room for improvement on what I’ve created. Good luck!

There’s an entire philosophy behind any anti-piracy strategy. For me, it’s about adding enough obfuscation to make it challenging for a pirate while simultaneously keeping the price low enough so that cracking isn’t a juicy target. Most users want to support you, but they won’t put up with much purchase friction. The wild thing about electron, and my app specifically, is that it relies on a handful of native modules…

Hello Scyzork. thanks for asking, I'm still working out how to tell this story succinctly. Here's today's effort: Historically clinicians have had to work with blood pressure and heart rate as the key observable values they had to estimate oxygen perfusion to the tissues. Newer technologies allow you to also measure the volume of blood ejected from the heart with each beat. With this additional information, you can i…
So I work in surgical simulation training. And yeah the OR in my observations has also not been this romanticized mission control thing that I was expecting. My impression is that it is more like a mechanic shop: people are doing their jobs, they're looking at the clock, thinking schedule, they're listening to music or radio, they're maybe casually arguing about something. They're used to their tools and instruments,…
How far along we are is a complex. We've had an early version of the software used for several years, So we've possibly reached the point where we have enough data for pre clinical studies, we have some senior clinicians with no financial links to the company that are converts and spruiking the model and software at major conferences and in lectures to their students. We've have a new version of the software to give to them before the end of the year. we have studies published. So it's got momentum, but we have the whole FDA journey ahead of us.
But with this part:
> This stuff is tricky because you're not just coming up with a device, you're coming up with new human > behavior in connection with the device. The human (anesthetist) needs to be won over by the > physiological model, and then they need to actually be effective with it.
with our small sample group, I think we're going pretty well.
I'd be interested to hear more about your work.
