Show HN: Quickly Test and Integrate ML Models with Booklet.ai
Hey HN, Adam here, one of the founders of Booklet (https://booklet.ai).

As a previous machine learning team leader, we would have a team celebration every time an API endpoint was created to serve a new model, but a model behind an API endpoint was rarely useful for other teams. Marketing wanted LTV predictions in their sales tool, the email team wanted customer segments in their email tool, and operations wanted sales forecasts in their warehouse management system. Those integration steps were painful and slow for the data team to build, especially with proper production-ready stability.

We built Booklet.ai to make these post-deployment integration steps easier. We connect to existing ML endpoints (on Sagemaker or any other tool) and you can set up a quick testing UI for spot-checking. From there, set up sources (ex: AWS Redshift) to feed into the model for predictions and destinations (ex: Intercom) for those predictions to be sent to. These come together into a dataflow that is fully managed - scheduling, error handling, retries, etc.

If you want to test it, try our public demo, which is applied to a lead scoring model sending results to Redshift and Intercom (https://app.booklet.ai/model/lead-scoring). To follow along the tutorial of how we built this model, check out our blog post here (https://towardsdatascience.com/a-true-end-to-end-ml-example-lead-scoring-f5b52e9a3c80).

If you have someone technical to set these up AND keep them up.

Many of those cool things take night or weekend to set up and that’s kind of fun to do. Regular patching and potential troubleshooting is the less fun part you get to do when adopting a new app.
We also allow exceptional measures during bona fide emergencies, which this is. For example, the first amendment guarantees freedom of the press, but the press was heavily censored during WWII. Similarly, epidemics allow governments to do things they cannot otherwise do.

It's all academic anyway. Once there are police checkpoints on major roads shutting them down, what are you gonna do? It could take years for a case to wind through the courts, by which time the epidemic is long over.
> I hope they work for some, but for me, SSRI's are frankly, trash. All the downsides with none of the upsides.

They absolutely work for many people. Unfortunately, many people deprive themselves of SSRI trials because they read too many negative anecdotes online. If you're seriously depressed for an extended period of time, it's worth a trial of an SSRI medication. If it doesn't work, just taper off and be done with it. At least you'll know.

> The only thing that worked was Imipramine, and I can't get it anymore because it's "old" and "not recommended".

That's bizarre. Imipramine is still widely prescribed with over a million prescriptions per year in the United States alone. If it works for you and your doctor is withholding it for some reason, please see a different doctor ASAP.

Given your strange and definitely not-normal experience with the medical system, can I suggest that you refrain from giving advice to others? I'm sorry you've had a negative experience with SSRIs and doctors, but it's extremely important that you not dissuade others from seeking proper medical treatment.

> If you're anti-depressant resistant, I'd recommend you try Gabapentin, a seemingly overlooked drug that works wonders for anxiety and depression. Quick tolerance buildup, do not give in and try to go over ~2g/day.

I recommend against Gabapentin as a first-line or even a second-line treatment. "Quick tolerance buildup" is not compatible with long term treatment stability. Gabapentin can be prescribed in limited circumstances for anxiety, but it's not a good first choice solution.

> The somewhat similar Phenibut also works, but it's a direct GABA agonist with terrible withdrawal symptoms and an extremely fast tolerance buildup.

Please don't recommend Phenibut. It's not an antidepressant. It's highly addictive and has severe rebound and withdrawal symptoms. Drugs that make you temporarily feel good should not be confused with antidepressant drugs.

I don't think this applies here; from the story, it sounds like both Pornhub and the victims are in the US, and Pornhub is bound by US law on these matters (which is decidedly unfriendly to CP).

>Furthermore, these platforms can claim that they didn't upload it, a user did, so they shouldn't be held responsible.

Not true. They're required to take down stuff when notified it's illegal, and CP is very illegal. So taking 2 weeks to remove something this blatantly illegal sure looks a lot like criminal negligence.

For comparison, how does YouTube handle this kind of thing? I'm pretty sure CP videos would never stay on YT for more than a day at the very most. And Pornhub can't claim to not have the generous resources Google has; Pornhub is a gigantic website.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see some zealous federal prosecutor nail them for this stuff, especially with a GOP presidential administration.

I can't help it if you choose to see this as a script handed to people. You can look at the history of releases of Mac hardware over the last six years and see for yourself how much neglect has been there. The 16" MacBook Pro does zilch for all the other MacBook* lines with the terrible keyboard that Apple still continues to sell at the same old prices. You'd have a better argument if/when Apple publicly acknowledges the keyboard issues and does a recall/replacement of the devices with the newly designed keyboards for all the people suffering with it even after multiple keyboard replacements. The 16" MacBook Pro does not address the concerns of the owners of the previous MacBook* machines. The presence of the terrible butterfly keyboard in hardware that's being currently sold shows how much Apple cares or is willing to do for customers.

The Mac Pro is a niche product meant for a select (few/several) thousands of people. It's not really something that will make a meaningful impact for most people who have used a Mac and are looking to buy a new Mac.

As for the Finder and Files part, we'll get to know if it's scaremongering or not. Those who have seen and experienced the Catalyst apps from Apple on the Mac know what the future may look like. It is up to Apple to prove them wrong with a much better UX that doesn't throw out what a Mac has meant to users and user experience for the last couple of decades (speaking only from the time of OS X).

I don't know about the US but in Europe many police stations are situated beside a bridge. There is a reason for that.
Things that help me when I feel depressed:

- Listening to upbeat, energetic music and avoiding depressing music, which tends to make me feel worse

- Walking outside on a clear, sunny day

- Eating my favorite food

- Playing a good game to get my mind off whatever it is that I'm obsessing about

- If I am able to concentrate, reading something by a favorite author, listening to a good podcast, or watching a non-depressing movie (most of my favorite movies are, sadly, pretty depressing, so those tend not to help)

- Doing exercise

- Getting enough sleep, but not too much

- Improving my diet and supplementing to overcome nutritional deficits (this and regular exercise are long-term fixes, and have helped my mood and energy level tremendously)

- Talking to a good friend, or maybe calling a crisis hotline (though the results vary greatly depending on who you wind up talking to)

- Journaling (I've been using a voice recorder for years, and this makes journaling much easier, more natural and faster for me than writing... just talking things through, even effectively just to myself, often helps a lot)

- Talking to a good therapist. They can sometimes provide insights and offer good advice that I otherwise would not have thought of.

- Looking at the stars on a deeply dark night sky, and thinking about how small and insignificant my self, my problems, and everything else on this earth really are

- Reading stories of people who've survived ordeals and overcome tremendous adversity. This again helps me put my own relatively trivial problems in perspective.

- Then, as Nietzsche said, "The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night."

- Finally, I try to remind myself that I've been through this many times before and I always eventually feel better. Time heals all wounds.

Honeywell's enterprise value is $116 billion. After this month's market rout. Yes, it very much exists.

But you're partially correct in that it is, in many ways, what Allied Signal used to be, except it kept the Honeywell name

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlliedSignal

A more relevant point to make is that they have started trying to make a switch from a regular-way, 20th century "Industrial" company to a 21st century "Software-Industrial" player. This has been widely covered among the investor community as it's been at the forefront of the company's strategy for the past 12-18 months.

There's some good stuff here, but it completely skips gratitude.

"I know that a good photographer can take a good photograph with anything, and a bad photographer myself won't be improved by better equipment."

With high latency, a photographer may take a technically high-quality photograph of the moment half-a-second too late. Skill can't overcome latency.

I've become half-decent at accounting for the latency... pushing the button to take a picture, wait quarter second, then call out to the kid in question to look at you. But it's definitely one of those places where the old analog ways have an advantage over all of our digital ways and their interminable deciseconds extending into seconds of endlessly getting ready... gotta load the home screen, gotta load the camera, ok, now, wait a second, gotta initialize the camera hardware... whoops, gotta swap out some of your apps... ok... NO WAIT NOT OK oh crap they pushed the button... uh... load the button push handler... uhhh.... ok, CLICK.

Sigh.

And this too:

May be RT is not the most reputed organ, but that particular article seemed written with an authentic motive:

"These elements of Soviet life may seem like the background to the central human stories, but in fact they dictated how each scene shown in Chernobyl unfolded in real life. And although occasionally the show hits upon the right note, perhaps when it sticks closest to a verbatim recreation, it does not seem to realize it. Most of the time, those involved act wrong on the wrong motivations, talk about the wrong things, and say them in the wrong order with an alien cadence that is more than just a different language."

"The most jarring scene is a Soviet minister bargaining with coal miners at gunpoint to persuade them to dig a tunnel under Chernobyl. Moscow mandarins did not negotiate with those 10 rungs below them – they sent down orders and didn’t need bullets to enforce them."

"Mazin’s party officials are more like sullen gangsters protecting their own patch – they bully, shout, laugh ostentatiously, and bang their fists on the table. Stellan Skarsgard’s senior cabinet minister threatens to throw Jared Harris’s renowned academic off a helicopter, then to shoot him, but the conversation is as implausible as it would be if it were shown between Vice President George H.W. Bush and physicist Richard Feynman, to pick two contemporaries."

I'll answer the energetic question. Splitting water produces oxygen and hydrogen, so with our oxygen we have the choice between burning hydrogen or burning Titan's hydrocarbons. Burning the hydrogen would bring us back to square one, so the question is whether burning hydrocarbons yields more energy than burning hydrogen. It appears to not be the case. Some numbers I found online:

burning 1 mole of O2 with hydrogen yields 572 kJ
burning 1 mole of O2 with methane yields 444 kJ
burning 1 mole of O2 with butane yields 443 kJ
burning 1 mole of O2 with octane yields 437 kJ
burning 1 mole of O2 with glucose yields 467 kJ

Currently, the global CFR is around 3%. In China, almost 4%. The CFR for the rest of the world (excluding China) is almost 2%.

I once worked for a small startup with 5 people and a boss obsessed with scrum and that only had experience in big corporations.

It was a remote development job with lots of meetings:

-1 hour standups daily
-twice per week, 3 hour planning meetings on top of the daily standup
-Friday we had a 'watercooler' meeting for an hour after the standup, where we were supposed to 'tell jokes' or 'share a funny story'. Since most of the developers were overseas and from different countries/cultural backgrounds, it usually ended up being very awkward.
-twice/month we had a 4+ hour big-picture meeting on top of the daily standup

Sometimes, I would bill over half my weekly hours as meetings.

The strange part is that with all of these meetings, the tickets that would be assigned to me would be vague or filled with missing information. Even when I would have a 1-1 call with the boss to explain the ticket, she would talk in circles and could never give me the exact information I needed.

When I completed the ticket and didn't read her mind, things would have to be re-written.

I was eventually replaced by an overseas worker from India (the boss told me I was too expensive and she could hire someone from India for much less) and the company lost most of its investors within a few years.

Working Remote? Some lessons learned from working at home for over a decade
I largely agree with all the advice here. I dropped out of college due to depression, then I torched my tech career with a manic episode that led me straight from a FAANG SWE job to an involuntary psych ward patient for a month, which was followed by a half year brutal depression.

I’ve done a lot of research and I think psychiatry is pseudoscience and antidepressants are largely placebo.

I’m really on the mindfulness bandwagon but don’t believe it’s “positive thinking.” The opposite, it’s less thinking, more acknowledgment of how you feel. If you feel depressed, maybe that’s ok, maybe that’s part of the human experience. If it endangers your life that’s perhaps not ideal, but if it endangers your goals, perhaps that is ok. I think modern society pathologizes feelings and acts like anything that detracts from your ability to be “successful “ must be cured. It’s ok to feel bad feelings it’s how we react to them that’s more often a source of frustration. Meditation gets mislabeled as some way to reduce stress and clear your mind when I believe it’s training for how to learn to react to difficult thoughts and feelings.

I have many more thoughts on this topic for when the time is right but as much as self-care advice gets responded with “thanks I’m cured” self-care is the foundation to recovery. I have many more strategies to do this even when thoughts/feelings are giving resistance.

We do several of these things, and bundling them together looks nice; I imagine troubleshooting the pipeline is much easier.

In the Netherlands, the two leading supermarket chains have handheld barcode scanners. You can walk around the store, scan whatever you put in your bag as you do it, and then the cashier just reads your scanner and charges you.

There are random spot checks of course, but I don't think this would work elsewhere, not with the high level of citizen trust that there is here. I'm sure they lose some money to people enticed by easier stealing, but the flow of people is so much faster that it's probably worth it many times over.
