Is there a linux distribution that comes with mac keybindings and make it easy for someone with muscle memory to use both?

Thank you - I figured Google Voice provides basic multiple rings facility. What are the extra things that you provide on top of that?

Do you use Twilio for statphone? Or SIP? I want to build a telephony app, but the economics don't work out with Twilio.

Do you point claude code to this? The orchestration seems to be very important.

Not sure if all the organizations using their software know this.

Does anyone know if Musk's robotics/AI business is under Tesla? What prevents him from launching the robots under a new company? Is there any protection for Tesla investors against these kind of things?

The high salaries commanded by FAANG engineers right out of college motivated a lot of students to take up computer science as a major and this led to a massive oversupply. It might take a few years to cool.

"Between 2018 and 2023, the number of students majoring in computer and information science jumped from about 444,000 to 628,000."

Around 40% of MIT graduates are now in CS https://alum.mit.edu/slice/conversation-new-computing-dean-a...

Further, COVID has reduced a lot of friction for remote work, so now there is also global competition for these jobs.

There might be advantages to increasing the amount of hardware and low level courses in the curriculum. But, I am pretty sure that is not the primary reason for young graduates not being to find jobs.

Is there a way to do this kind of design->critique->implement without switching tools? Like an end-to-end solution that consults multiple LLMs?

I should have RTFM https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/usage.html#starting-an-in...

Are you aware of any user interfaces that expose some limited ChatGPT functionality using a UI, that internally uses llm. This is for my non-techie wife.

Thanks for this. I am planning to cancel my ChatGPT plus subscription and use something like the llm tool with the API key. For regular interactions, how do you handle context? For example, the UI allows me to ask a question, and then a followup and the context is kind of automatically handled.

Please post articles comparing the pricing of API providers. I have heard nice things about together.ai

Ask HN: What are some economical ways to access LLMs?

yangikan — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 17:17:32 +0000

Want to hear about your experiences in terms of cost from various providers of LLM APIs. For example, for my usecase, I don't need to have a real time response. Are there any services that exploit spot instances and such, where I can submit a set of queries and get responses after a few hours, but costs much less?

If the current administration reduces the issuance of family based greencards (which happens mostly through the consulates), those unused greencards will flow through the EB category, allowing EB1 dates to move forward. Something like this happened during Covid.
