cloudking··on Ask HN: Speech recognition had got quite good on mobile. How?
My guess, lots of user data + user corrections. When we correct what our phones mishear, that data helps train the speech recognition models to get more accurate over time.
cloudking··on I consider this a smoking gun for Midjourney's flagrant copyright infringement
How would you implement your solution technically though? There isn't a reference set of images in the model, it's just weights.
cloudking··on Ask HN: What's your go-to wireframing tool for MVPs?
I'm pretty happy with https://www.mockplus.com
cloudking··on Pushing ChatGPT's Structured Data Support to Its Limits
I bet it likes salt & vinegar microchips
cloudking··on A list of Hacker News's undocumented features and behaviors
Yeah this is the reason. I want a solution that works from any browser/device without the need to use extensions.
cloudking··on A list of Hacker News's undocumented features and behaviors
I'd settle for that too!
cloudking··on A list of Hacker News's undocumented features and behaviors
Idea: 1000 karma should get custom CSS as a setting.
cloudking··on 2TB microSD card is on the way early next year
I was going to say, has OP downloaded a game recently? You can fit 10-20 modern games on this card tops.
cloudking··on Many options for running Mistral models in your terminal using LLM
It's great that there are many comments about being able to run models locally, but I rarely see comments about what folks are using them for. Would love to learn more about use cases and problems being solved.
cloudking··on Jarvis: A Voice Virtual Assistant in Python (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram)
Wonderful hack, the overall response latency is the only thing that hurts the UX, if you can get the response time down would be epic. Nice work.
cloudking··on More product, fewer product managers
In my experience in multiple roles (product manager, project manager, software engineer) and dozens of successful launches with large engineering teams, the ideal kind of PM has a deep understanding of users, how software should work best for them AND technical experience.

The problem with a purely technical team and no user-centric PM guidance is they'll end up building an engineering designed product, that doesn't resonate with non-technical users. As pure engineers, we love engineering, and may over-engineer solutions given the opportunity. Unless we are building some developer tools or highly technical product, this doesn't work for the majority of non-technical products.

You need a PM who can separate the technical design from the user experience, but also understands how to bridge the two when it comes to actually building the product. No technical experience rarely helps, as you spend a lot of wasted time debating why things should or can't be built.

As a PM with technical background, I'm not going to waste engineering time proposing radical user experiences that I know will require excess resources and time to build. At the same time, deeply understanding what users want, I'm not going to build a product that is too technical for them to understand how to use. We understand the limits of our technical stack and how to reduce user frustration. That is the advantage of having a balanced PM with both user and technical experience.

cloudking··on Cloudflare is experiencing elevated 5xx responses

cloudking··on Ask HN: What prevents Google from having the leading LLM?
This is most likely the reason, and the teams involved in launch approvals (legal, safety, privacy etc).
cloudking··on Ask HN: Why is Meta's ad targeting so much better than Google's and TikTok's
Probably because they know more about you on a personal level than the other services do. A lot of people have Facebook and Instagram accounts using their real names, and real interests linked to their real life friends. They know what you're talking about with each other and they know what you're doing on the web through their tracking pixels.
cloudking··on Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
I wonder what Apple will do with the number registrations that came from Androids.
cloudking··on Gaussian Head Avatar: Ultra High-Fidelity Head Avatar via Dynamic Gaussians
When can we send our gaussian heads to the Zoom meeting?
cloudking··on Show HN: VideoGist – Useful YouTube video summaries
Kudos for the landing page, this is how AI products should be presented.

1) Direct access to the product

2) Multiple demo examples

I've seen so many launches here recently that have no demos, require sign up and basically gate all the usefulness of the product behind walls.

cloudking··on System-wide open source ad blocker for Mac, Windows, and Linux
+1 using AdGuard on Home Assistant Raspberry Pi
cloudking··on Switch off bad TV settings
Motion features are the worst, I find they always make shows and movies look uncanny. Have turned this off on many friends and family devices, who seem to not notice until I turn it off.
cloudking··on Exposed Hugging Face API tokens offered full access to Meta's Llama 2
How does Huggingface work from a business model perspective? They let people use a lot of free compute resources running models on their platform, surely that costs them money?
cloudking··on Now I can just print that video
It's a very cool technical feat, but not something I would personally pay for. I'll just spend the 1-2 minutes to watch the video for free. Not trying to discourage you, just giving honest feedback. Launching the early landing page is a good idea to validate further.
cloudking··on Gemini Postponed, "in some respects" as good as GPT-4
I hope they upgrade Duet AI to use this model then, because the current models in Google Workspace are quite lackluster. On the positive side, the UX is integrated quite smoothly.
cloudking··on UniFi Express
This is the Unifi device hackers can recommend to their friends and family, but not actually use themselves because they already have the more sophisticated set ups.
cloudking··on LibreChat – Enhanced ChatGPT Clone
It looks like it can connect to local models via LiteLLM proxy.

cloudking··on Ask HN: Why does Google shopping showcase scams?
What are some good alternatives to Google Shopping? I'm looking for a meta search that will find the best deals across the web, but from legit sites only.
cloudking··on Animotion – a visual CSS animation app
This is cool! I've also found GPT-4 is really good at generating complex CSS animations
cloudking··on 'Zoom fatigue' may take toll on the brain and the heart
Nice, thanks for the suggestion!
cloudking··on 'Zoom fatigue' may take toll on the brain and the heart
Speaking of Zoom. Are there any mics or webcam/mic combos that have really good directional noise cancellation to only pick up sound from the person in front of them? I'd like to stop using Bluetooth earbuds (best solution I've found), but need only my voice to be picked up.
cloudking··on Ask HN: Any AI-based Code Assistants for web CRUD apps?
GitHub Co-pilot can take into context your codebase.
cloudking··on Shopify live dashboard
Awesome work! You should break down the development in a blog post
