Ask HN: Seeking beta testers for machine learning models to API service;
I'm building a Saas that helps create an API for machine learning models: https://orchestrahq.com - and looking for beta testers to give the platform a go.

This service will be most useful for data science teams who want to manage all their models that go into production. It'll also make integrating with web/mobile applications easier as you just need to hand off a URL to your development team while you continue to improve the model.

Many features on the roadmap including continuous integration, testing, etc. but I'm also happy to have a chat about any use cases you might have.

Currently, it's supporting Python 3 but am looking to support more languages in the future.

If you feel you can help, please send me a note via "teren AT orchestrahq.com" and I'll send you an invite link.

If you're interested in using it for your company or startup, I'm happy to provide discounts and talk through how we can customize it for you. If you're a data science consultant, happy to discuss a potential revenue sharing agreement. And if you're just interested in helping me give it a whirl, happy to buy you a coffee.

Thanks!
What's the difference between being legalized and being not prohibited?
Sounds like what's happening in many interesting areas these years, to be honest.
Owned or controlled and colluded with them in illegal/shady ways. It was a major source of competitive advantage.
Clojure had this same property, and it seems like a benefit at first: because new "language features" aren't tied to releases of the language, anyone can create them and instantly share them with the community for everyone to immediately start using.

A great example is destructuring, which someone wrote a macro for, around version 1.2 or so, that got bundled with the language shortly after. You can't do that without changing the language, or being able to extend it with macros.

But in practice, having community-written macros means you'll get several versions of the same one, and there often won't be any clear winner since each will have strengths and weaknesses, and at least some authors will be unwilling to merge or add features or change their version, so that you end up with a bunch of almost-perfect macros and have to settle for their annoying bugs that you know you could fix in 5 minutes if you just made a private fork, but then you end up in the xkcd-standards paradox.

Babel showed that you can successfully achieve the same thing macros do, but outside of the language, by writing a compiler and just targets the language you want to execute. No need for macros to get destructuring, just enable the "destructuring" plugin.

Unfortunately, Babel misses the mark on this dream, because literally every Babel "plugin" is actually implemented in Babel's core library and all the plugins do is just enable a flag or two in the core parser/compiler. It doesn't expose any parser or compiler for you, and you can't actually add new tokens without forking Babel.

Why?
We didn't break up banks, nor did we reform credit rating agencies much.

We basically gave them a big sack of cash and asked them not to do it again. No one went to prison and GS went back to paying out bonuses.
There are stores in some of the legalized states that are processing debit card transactions through some company in NYC. I expect it will be possible in MA stores.
So clearly there will be some delay in between when brand inertia is still going and competitors haven't caught up, but it does look like Walmart is stepping up its online retail business, so I have hope that Amazon won't maintain near monopoly status.

If they were personalised it would be hard for sites like camelcamelcamel.com to exist, right? I would speculate that they don't personalise. Offering price discrimination as a service to third party sellers sounds like a minefield too.
For some value of "just".

They have to hold the package in storage, check the invoice and declare the goods, wait for the approval and then take it out of storage for final shipping. The storage bit requires a paper trail (soon to be electronic in Sweden).

If you do the declaration yourself, they still have to hold it in storage and write it off with the customs ID you provide, which is likely more work in the end.

So in any case, a non-trivial amount of labor is involved. And since it's not covered by the Universal Postal Union, they're not obliged to do it at a loss.
> but I also believe that they don't believe they are doing something (outright) wrong.

With so many engineers working at Google, someone there should be thinking they are doing something wrong. Right?

Or are you more thinking of a collective conscious of some kind?
Yeah this number is way off. A better estimate is 5-6 trillion and many will say that's also likely too low. A solid estimate, when you factor in excessive defense spending that wasn't technically spent on one war, is 10+ trillion dollars.

The funny thing is that many Americans are perfectly happy with this... but if you bring up, say, universal healthcare they rage against the very idea of the government spending so much money.
As with everything, the quantity matters. It seems to me that you smoked too much. If you ever want to try again try the least amount possible. Don't abuse, use it like medicine. I'm against recreational smoking when it's a huge quantity like a whole joint with potent marijuana. It renders one into a vegetable. Whats the point of that?? Same as drinking yourself up until intoxication stops you.
Sounds like typical "rational actor" arguments. Everyone was trying to make the most money possible using the tools and information available, and if your political / moral philosophy can't distinguish that from "morally good" then all you can do is shrug. Surprise! The guy who heads a massive bank doesn't think all the crazy things banks do to make money are bad.
Just a personal observation / data point as a lot of folks everywhere are saying "put bankers in prison" any time they recall 2008 crisis. This is from the US, no idea how things played out in other countries:

Government shares a significant portion of the blame for this crisis. It required raising affordability of homes (i.e., loans) for lower income families. They might as well legislate away entropy, friction or gravity. Banks cannot lower home selling prices, so instead they had to become "creative" with loans, for example lend at 0% for the first 5 years. And lend more than today's purchase price (creating strong demand for inflated assessments) so some of that extra cash can be used to pay mortgage for a few years. Five years later the music stops unless you can refinance again and kick that can down the road.

This insane game of musical chairs, where banks generate toxic loans, securitize them and throw them at someone else, had to end in tears. Everyone understood this. But faced with the regulation to raise affordability, what exactly should the lenders have done? They HAD to use at least X% of new loans to low income families.

Sadly, this is yet another case of good intentions (helping lower income families) implemented as a clumsy regulation that ends up hurting people you wanted to help. My 2c.
It's complicated and far from a settled issue.

As far as I understand it you can be arrested by federal law enforcement and charged with a federal crime but you cannot be arrested by local or state law enforcement and charged with a local or state crime.

This is why the marijuana industry is "cash only" - banks won't give them a bank account because it violates federal law for them to do so. This is very undesirable for the marijuana companies because having large stacks of cash laying around is a liability and also an accounting mess. Though last I heard some companies might be trying to band together to create a "maybe semi legal bank like entity" to fix this problem.

So far the DEA has largely chosen not to go after marijuana dispensaries and growers that are operating within the parameters of state law, but that can change, and it might lead to some interesting court cases.

This also can lead to problems for ordinary citizens, if they can go into a store and buy a product it is reasonable to think the product is totally and completely legal. However, they do risk being charged with a federal crime, but that's not totally obvious.
If it’s possible, Amazon has the resources to do it, they just clearly have decided not to spend them.

Fwiw I knew a guy who claimed that the templating language for the main website was written in C headers. I can’t verify that, but if true it’d go a long way to explain why it’s so bad.

No surprises there.
You've obviously not met many C programmers. I have a new general rule: if it confuses clang-format, it probably shouldn't be a macro in the first place.

The amount of time I hit that pulled out of my butt rule in daily code reviews is above and beyond what you would expect. Also what attribute of JS programmers would preclude them to abusing macros or templates more than c or c++ programmers already do?

I think, you're completely missing the point. The question is NOT whether the paper merits the publication. That should be decided by the experts who review the paper for the journal. For that matter, the opinion of someone working on holomorphic curves about a probabilistic model in biology is interesting, but completely irrelevant. According to Hill, the editor of Math Intelligencer was bullied to withdraw the offer to publish the paper. That's unacceptable regardless the status of the journal. Regarding NYJM and fast track, first, the journal positions itself as a place for "rapid publication", second in a comment to Gower's post, Rivin claims that they obtained two positive reports for the paper. Since this clearly contradicts your story, can you elaborate in which sense the paper bypassed the procedures that are standard for NYJM?
> The left is going to have a hard time arguing [rising wages are] a bad thing.

Why would the left argue that rising wages is a bad thing anyway? It seems that a significant subset of the left has been beating the “we need higher minimum wages and more wage growth overall" drum for a while.

Is it just because they strictly prefer a governmental rather than a natural market solution? Or something else?

I love finding restaurants that serve food in 'normal' portion sizes (normal being enough for a hungry single human being). I dunno about other posters here, but I was raised by parents who predated the current obesity epidemic and whose own parents went through the Great Depression and 'clean your plate' and 'children are starving in Africa' were common refrains.

I feel a great need to finish what I am served, and is has been a hard fought battle to not do that when the portion sizes are as ridiculously oversized as they can be in America.

Eating with my spouse helps, as we can always split plates, but still. Vastly prefer smaller portion sizes.

I'm not a fan of the package used here, the syntax of chaining functions to validate a single input within your routing file, something that should likely be fairly static.

At my old company, we used `whitelister`. We created it in-house then open sourced it [1]. There is JSON schema, and we could have moved on to that, but it was too much for what we needed.

Well it most definitely didn't help their situation at all.
Business pricing is not just there for the sake of it, it's mostly used to subsidise infrastructure building costs which can rack up in the tens of thousands.

You could potentially negotiate with them on the monthly subscription price (for a lower SLA, etc) but I'm sure the main dealbreaker would be the one-time install cost, and not the monthly one. And you can't negotiate that down either, because the people who will dig up the streets have families and/or cats to feed.

Maybe what you could do instead is find out if a building to which you have line of sight is already hooked up (or even better, has active service) and negotiate with the owner if they will let you install point-to-point wireless links and possibly piggyback off their existing connection.
I have been in the US since 2000 and I really believe this country needs war to stay together. Without an external enemy people will start fighting each other.
I'm curious where Erlang fits into this story. It was built to be a "systems" language but algorithms are tersely implemented (I forget exactly, but I remember reading about a study that an Erlang program is much shorter than the comparable C program), and has gradual typing of a sort. It also is garbage collected (I don't think you could "write your own memory allocator in it", as Andrei Alexandrescu described).
I genuinely don’t consider most of the dreck that’s sold at fast food chains to be food.
Sure.

Aaaand last airport I flew through had a wifi signup which required your phone number.

> But the way I read your post it might scare people away from password managers and back to a single password or passwords written on papers stored within reach from the workplace.
Browser extension password managers are very much a step in the right direction. For most people, they strike the right balance between convenience and security. I guess I'm just a very paranoid developer who does not value that convenience as much as most.
Wow, that's pretty interesting and still unsolved.
I agree, but I did respond to the comment- I hope that shows good faith.
I have depression and I smoke very very little. It helps a lot with my symptoms, I feel as if a veil lifts off and i get normal vitality, excitement, love of life. I do not smoke a lot since it would make me sick, paranoid, anxious. I also noticed that when i first started smoking it took me a whole month until it felt beneficial. Remember the first drink?? Probably not the best experience

It doesn't need to be stored forever. As trees die and are farmed, they are replaced by new ones. Large forests in conjunction with reduced CO2 emission and renewables is the best answer to climate change, not some band-aid to mask the problem.

Land usage is abysmal, and there's a lot of waste. Stop cutting down trees and stop urban sprawl.

As a side effect we might just be able to stop a mass extinction due to loss of habitat.
Building with it is a lot more effective as there's economic incentive in preventing it from decaying back to base elements

What are laws if they are not an attempt to codify and enforce a group morality?
That and the richer you are the less likely you are to eat fast food, which reinforces your point about unequal recovery further.
I worked as a chef in restaurants for over a decade: Why do you feel this way? It's food. If you eat it, you will be fed. Someone cooked that food for you. The quality of the product doesn't make something a "restaurant" instead of a restaurant. Many times it's not the best dining experience, but they clearly have a function in the "getting people meals" ecosystem.

TL;dr- slow clap for some top tier smug nonsense, but your point is extremely invalid and undermines the hard work millions of people are putting in every day at these establishments.

I'll say I broadly agree that we should be moving towards a more evenly distributed system, and I'm a huge fan of the idea of basic income for the reason you outlined: giving people options.

The caveat IMO is that having children is an incredibly selfish decision, and that decision shouldn't be publicly subsidized. It should come out of your discretionary spending. If we each get $2000/month and a kid costs you $1000/month, then you have to live off $1000/month, which means not living in overpriced areas.

You can have anything you want in life, but you can't have everything.
Some problems I see with this design are space, labor and logistics akin to a warehouse, impacts from natural disasters.

For the most part we have been doing that for decades. The US has a lot more forests now that 100 years ago (the height of logging).

It is hard to know for sure, but there is reason to believe we have more trees than even 1000 years ago. We are not allowing forest fires to clean out the dead trees which allows them to build up. This is a negative, regular forest fires burn colder and leave a lot of charcoal in the soil, while the less regular forest fires burn hotter and so release that carbon back into the atmosphere.

I don't think they are mutually exclusive, but I often see quality and price advertised separately. Fast food (McDonalds, Wendy's, KFC, etc) advertises heavily on price, perhaps because their demographic is more price-sensitive (or has stricter economic constraints). A fast food/fast casual restaurant that advertises more on quality (Chipotle, Cava, Panera, etc) is going after a different demographic that is probably more selective about food than immediately price sensitive.

This is purely observational based on looking at fast food restaurants in the city and suburbs. It would be interesting to see how it varies across regions.
