this is great, thanks for sharing

I'm currently using a self hosted instance of lightdash connected to a dbt project and I can see this being really efficient for data exploration for business users

quite interesting!

aren't profit margins the main drivers for the decisions leading to this post to begin with? if revenue was all they cared about, I don't think what's happening would come to fruition

you'd have to write every comment expecting it to become the top comment

Just wondering, why pi?

New comment by fillipvt in "How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?"

fillipvt — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:49:27 +0000

In Spanish this would look like "dijo adiós demasiado". Although unsure how to fit the "before" without being too literal.

I find the shared storage to be naively useful to share info between sites. But... You know, that will never be possible.

I'm being alerted of my ad blocker on this news site, on an article related to there being almost zero ads on a city. A bit ironic.

Not sure about "the tech is well understood" given the LLM itself is a black box in regards to how it works internally, even Microsoft researches admit it (Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4).

I'm not sure the quantity of data will be a differing factor once the LLM reaches a certain point of parameters.

I can't use Firefox in my work environment. It doesn't have some Chrome extensions that make it impossible for me to use, such as ones for Google services. It sucks because I dearly miss container tabs. If Firefox could support Chrome extensions, that would be game changer.

New comment by fillipvt in "Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment"

fillipvt — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 12:14:31 +0000

I find my self being very passionate about trying to start my own business. I'm currently building an offline-first budgeting app using the zero-based envelopes model.

This has taught me a lot about new technologies, and although I haven't been able to launch it, it feels like the biggest thing I've worked on.

My current problem is I don't know how to simplify it in order to launch something quicker. I'll be working slowly on it, chipping away at it, line by line.

I'd love to use Firefox as my daily driver for work. But due to lack of some extensions I'm not able to, mainly Tag Manager and Optimize, both Google products.

This is interesting.

If anything, with this I've learned that companies like Framework have a huge advantage. If that space ever manages to create a 'fixable' phone a-la Framework laptop, it's gonna work on so many levels for so many different people and regulators.

It's far too rare for a founder to maintain control in that way while also growing the company to the size of Facebook is. For example, Basecamp has managed to maintain control but it's nowhere near their size.

Would Meta be able to build a federated Metaverse? If they are, things are different.

So you are saying they have to? Otherwise the iPhone would be useless.
