cloudking··on Ask HN: Screen recording software with real-time zooming?
I want to ideally press a hotkey and have the recording zoom into the area of the screen I'm interacting with the mouse, then hotkey to zoom back out to see the full application.
cloudking··on Ask HN: Screen recording software with real-time zooming?
Good suggestion, unfortunately that zooms the entire screen including the recording software so it's not exactly usable for the types of recordings I want to do. Ideally I want to zoom in on just part of the active window.

They are taking a similar AI strategy to Google's mobile strategy with Android.

What problems are companies solving with LLMs that they couldn't previously solve?
cloudking··on Ask HN: How to price your first enterprise customer?
You should start higher than your small customer plan. Enterprise customers have larger budgets and you will most likely have to build enterprise-specific features for this customer and future ones. Factor in the cost of developing enterprise feature requests (extra security, auditing, reporting, saml/sso etc). Calculate a per user rate, but quote them as a single site license for their org, give them flexibility to add a certain amount of users per year before renegotiating renewals. Also starting higher will give you room to negotiate if they push back. Good luck
cloudking··on PdfGptIndexer: Indexing and searching PDF text data using GPT-2 and FAISS
Am I the only one who doesn't need to search across my data? What are the use cases here
cloudking··on Langchain Is Pointless
Perfect.. I've seen so many demos showing people feeding data to LLMs so they can "ask questions about their data" but still not seen any real business use cases. Is anyone using these tools in production for a real problem?

What business problems are you solving with Langchain and LLMs?

cloudking··on Ask HN: Are people in tech inside an AI echo chamber?
For sure, I've had discussions from "using it every day" (techies) to "never heard of it" (non-techies).

For my own experience I use it every day, but the only thing it really solves is saving me time. I've seen lots of neat demos, hacks, agents etc and still haven't figured out what business problem LLMs solve besides time-saving.

cloudking··on Mark Zuckerberg on Apple’s Vision Pro headset
The Quest 3 has passthrough mode for "mixed reality" similar to Apple Vision Pro, albeit Apple's hardware has way higher resolution.
cloudking··on Mark Zuckerberg on Apple’s Vision Pro headset
Interesting take, I thought he would be pretty excited a major player is entering the space he's been working on since they acquired Oculus. Apple would have done research to validate this product and market before entering it.

Edit: he did acknowledge this a bit on Lex Fridman podcast https://youtu.be/C_fpCVtGR6I

cloudking··on The regular Apple Vision will be a pair of AR Glasses
Good guess. There's a reason they called it "Pro", to give room for a future device.

Also a reason they didn't mention "Metaverse" or "AI" once in the presentation...

cloudking··on Ask HN: My ChatGPT plug-in is stuck in review limbo. What can I do about it?
Per the recent sama interview that was taken down, he said plugins haven't found product market fit based on usage data. They may be slowing down efforts in this feature overall to focus on their scaling issues.
cloudking··on CodeCompose: A large-scale industrial deployment of AI-assisted code authoring
For example, sometimes I'll start out with a code comment for a function, hit enter and the next line suggestion will be the entire function.
cloudking··on CodeCompose: A large-scale industrial deployment of AI-assisted code authoring
I've found I am naturally ignoring the large complex suggestions because they usually have mistakes, and accepting the small easy suggestions. I respect your experience though, to each their own.
cloudking··on CodeCompose: A large-scale industrial deployment of AI-assisted code authoring
Have you tried GitHub Copilot? You don't have to accept the code suggestions, so they don't really distract you or get in the way once you get used to the UX.

cloudking··on WinRAR's Twitter post on Windows 11 RAR support is anything but fine
For sure, right click extract to folder is my go to.
cloudking··on Examples using Photoshop’s new “Generative Fill” feature
Agree with you there, if these tools become 1 click install and go they could get wider adoption. However in the B2B space, they also need parity with commercial tools like Photoshop, Figma etc. It's an uphill battle for an open source project with no profits going up against a profit driven big tech company.
cloudking··on Examples using Photoshop’s new “Generative Fill” feature
No offense taken, I'm simply pointing out that the user experience of setting up and leveraging open source is a challenge to wider adoption.

I expect most of us (hackers) have tried these tools, but not your average user. When I see comments like OP, it's coming from the hacker perspective imo.

The user is not making an error, the error is assuming everyone should be a hacker.

cloudking··on WinRAR's Twitter post on Windows 11 RAR support is anything but fine
WinRAR extracts content much faster than Windows does, use it for zip files too.
cloudking··on Examples using Photoshop’s new “Generative Fill” feature
Yep it's easy... just download a wrapper app from GitHub, download the models, set up the configuration, realize you're missing libraries, install a specific version of each etc

Your average user doesn't understand how to set up and leverage open source software because it's too complicated to get going.

They want to open Photoshop and use the feature in the tool the already use, without setting up anything.

Quite frankly, Adobe nailed the UX here.
