alphagrep12345··on Working on iPad
> A native VS Code-like experience for iPad is sorely needed.

Why not just use a MacBook? Why use iPad?

alphagrep12345··on OpenAI API
Interesting to see this. Is this similar to Google and Azure's ML apis?
alphagrep12345··on Show HN: Water Cooler – Always-available chat for teams
Looks great! If I've to incorporate this, would the workflow become Slack + Zoom + Water Cooler? Or would this replace any of Slack/Zoom?
alphagrep12345··on GPT-3: Language Models Are Few-Shot Learners
What do you mean by text instructions? If I want to translate a sentence, would I just feed in model - translate "Hello world"?
alphagrep12345··on Have you ever asked yourself “how did research get done before LateX?”
Why is latex needed? If we use can integrate a good math renderer to docs, why can't people use that instead?
alphagrep12345··on Show HN: A Python tool for text-based AI training and generation using GPT-2
Your API looks really clean but what's the difference between this and just GPT-2 (or) HuggingFace's implementations?
alphagrep12345··on Show HN: A Python tool for text-based AI training and generation using GPT-2
What do you mean by embed the model?

Why the sudden popularity of markdown these days? I do not understand.

How do you find out interesting Zap workflows?
alphagrep12345··on Universa tail fund returned 3,600% in March
Wow. This is insane. What's the idea behind this? How can this be replicated by individuals on stock brokerages like robinhood,fidelity, etc?
alphagrep12345··on Ask HN: Would you like your favourite celebrity read a book to you?
Audio versions of scripts sound good. I'll look into this :)
alphagrep12345··on Launch HN: Art in Res (YC W20) – Buy art directly from artists
Probably a noob question - but how do I know that I'm not being overcharged? As a matter of fact, how do I even know what's the right price for a piece of artwork?

May be a long term thing, but I also think you should focus on expanding and growing your market size. Create blog posts, and videos on art, artists, art appreciation and advertize them. Educate audiance and get more people interested in it. That might percolate to making your business bigger.

alphagrep12345··on Show HN: Sassbook AI writer – Create text content rapidly using AI
Nothing at this point. I was just curious.
alphagrep12345··on Show HN: Sassbook AI writer – Create text content rapidly using AI
I'm curious about your business model. How do you plan to differentiate yourself from other very similar SAAS? Are you marketing to a particular segment?
alphagrep12345··on Web-assembly powered WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor, supporting nearly all LaTeX package
One thing I'd really like to see is the ability to adjust line spacing. It's insanely painful in latex, and a WYSIWYG editor would be amazing.

Why isn't stripe working there?
alphagrep12345··on Clipper: A prediction serving system for TensorFlow, PyTorch, PySpark and others
How are you different from other products that provides OCR as a service, object detection as a service, etc?
alphagrep12345··on CUDA Toolkit Release Notes
Why doesn't apple support NVIDIA though? Considering the whole ML and AI community use only NVIDIA GPUs, it sucks that we can't use apple laptops for the same.
alphagrep12345··on Ask HN: Bio course suggestions for a CS grad in university?
Why statistical thermodynamics?
alphagrep12345··on Show HN: Wikipedia articles in AR with React Native
What is heading? Can out phone identify the orientation too? What if there are two "famous" buildings beside each other? How can you differentiate without actually identifying the image?
alphagrep12345··on Show HN: Wikipedia articles in AR with React Native
How are you identifying the object in the image?
alphagrep12345··on Lessons Learned from Building an AI Writing App
Amazing write-up. Do you mind sharing how much this costed you?
alphagrep12345··on Prusa MINI: Smart and compact 3D printer
Why does everyone need a 3d printer? Maybe this statement would sound as ludicrous looking back as asking why does everyone need a PC in the 1980s. However, I still don't understand why would a regular person need a 3d printer? Mass marketed goods are always cheaper due to economies of scale. And would you really want to put in the effort to make your own chair, etc?
alphagrep12345··on A.I. researchers are making more than $1M, even at a nonprofit
Oh wow, very interesting. Are you a PhD who works in this area too?
alphagrep12345··on A.I. researchers are making more than $1M, even at a nonprofit
Interesting that you mention about Andrej Karpathy. I've long wondered about his meteoric rise. No doubt he's intelligent, but there's definitely more to the story. What do you think it is? Is it majorly because of the right timing and being under the right profs? His blog? His class? I'm currently a grad student. So if I want to replicate even an iota of it, how do I do it?
alphagrep12345··on A.I. researchers are making more than $1M, even at a nonprofit
I have a couple of questions -

- Would you say that you'd have got an AI researcher position without a Ph.D.?

- Also, why is NEURIPS or ICML papers is not a hiring guarantee? I thought they're highly sought after.

alphagrep12345··on A.I. researchers are making more than $1M, even at a nonprofit
How replicable is this thing? Looking from a monetary perspective, is it worth getting a Ph.D. in AI? Assuming you like both academic research and working in the industry, if you were to make a choice whether to do a Ph.D. or not, how would you make it?
alphagrep12345··on Apple downloads ~45 TB of models per day from our S3 bucket
What does hugging face do? Do they implement models from papers and make them available for free?
