New comment by mdbmdb in "Ask HN: Should we bring software dev in-house?"

mdbmdb — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 16:54:58 +0000

I'm running a team of SDE's and, from my experience, bringing development in-house is the last resort simply because of high risk/high cost. You have to pay your devs hell or high water whether they are moving at a rocket or turtle speed. We have worked with oil&gas and logistics customers, and their in-house development always drags 2-3 times longer than expected. If your pocket can allow it - you may try it but about 80% of customers I have worked with or talked to moved from in-house development to outsourcing it.

My team would love to look at your project for free just to give you an option to consider. Feel free to contact me at Polarwind99@gmail.com

I would be interested. I think LinkedIn aggressively tries to shut down things like you are trying to build though

Nothing stops them but it doesn't happen overnight. These laws have been in place for a long long time. Women weren't allowed to drive in Dubai until 2018 but it changed. Changes will come but not in a blink of an eye

I'm happy to keep my dumb 45' TV for as long as I can. Speaking of which, is it still possible to buy a large diagonal dumb TV these days? like 65' or 75'

Just when you thought that LinkedIn couldn't get any worse. Is this really the innovative idea that a professional networking platform should focus on ?

It's already looking like Facebook with all the "Like if" and "Agree?" posts.

They also confirmed it via TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/16/linkedin-wants-to-add-gami...

Appreciate the response. Do you know of any services that provide what I described in the previous comments? I'm specifically interested in extreme weather conditions and their visual representation (hurricanes, tornados, hails etc.) with API capabilities

Is it able to provide data on extreme events. Say, the current and potential path of a hurricane? similar to .kml that NOAA provides

New comment by mdbmdb in "GPT-4 is getting worse over time, not better"

I don't understand. I literally just copy-pasted the "Is 17077 a prime number? Think step by step." question in my GPT-4 and it wrote me a full-page response with step-by-step explanation.

The author is claiming that "the latest version of GPT-4 did not generate intermediate steps and instead answered incorrectly with a simple "No." but that is not the case
