Show HN: Retune – the missing frontend for GPT-3
Hey everyone!

We launched re:tune today to help builders build complex apps on top of GPT-3.

With re:tune, you can do things like:

- turn any prompt into a chatbot
- get API to integrate into your app
- create custom fine-tuned models from your (large) dataset
- modify your data and tweak parameters to get personalized output.
- write a prompt once, and generate variable responses with our variables editor.

You can think of this as a supercharged frontend for GPT-3, along with newer langchain techniques.

As next step, we are building out features to publish and monetize your LLM apps, feed external data with embeddings, connect your chatbots with internet and composing multiple prompts / chatbots to build complex workflows. These features are still very early alpha, and hidden behind flags but I would love to connect with adventurers in this space and iron things out together!

We are still embarrassingly early, but removed the waitlist for today.

Have fun breaking things!

We are also live on product hunt: https://producthunt.com/posts/re-tune

Macron’s pension reform: Necessary changes to an unsustainable system?
Ask HN: How to best take advantage of the coming recession?
I'm 32 years old and living in Europe and come from a blue-collar worker's family.

I'm pretty good at my job (broader data science) and have been earning US-level income while maintaining Eastern Europe-level expenses for the last 7 years or so. Thus, I've managed to have a decent amount of savings in cash and index funds / ETFs .

During the last recession (2007-8), I was just 16yo and my family was hit pretty hard back then. Now, I do believe that recessions are the only realistic way to achieve real social mobility, and have been planning to really benefit from the next one (whenever it happens).

Any additional thoughts, tips, and personal experiences are welcome.
It's AC and the cycle (Hz) is x, then the voltage hits +/- max at 2x and also crosses 0 at 2x. Current in the system also crosses 0 at 2x although the phase angle is likely to differ from the applied voltage.

Maybe it’s very North American of me but I cringe when the author says “bad team”. Objectively, they didn’t have the skills, experience, or advisors to do this thing. And if the money truly disappeared, then someone crossed over into “bad” territory.

But hardware startups are brutal. Kickstarted hardware is torture.

Even experienced and well capitalized tiny teams go through this. A friend did one, rapidly realized the only option was to somehow get Chinese manufacturers excited about a small run of a strange product. Then two years later was trying to QA injection molds from across the ocean and switched manufacturers two times.

They delivered, but only after years of what must have felt like crawling over broken glass.

Maybe the NYC Train Sign team realized they couldn’t profit from the sign itself, but, unwilling to let the viral moment pass, were going to use it to establish themselves in consulting. You know… sell pickaxes.
Their comment is illuminating the current way things work, that's hardly disgusting. That status quo you may not like, but that's saying nothing about the author of the comment, or their views on that fact.

Your anger should be at the system, not the author pointing out a fact.
I doubt it's age related. There could be medical reasons for it, sure, and perhaps checkin with a doctor, but for some definition of 'normal' you aren't going to decline at all at 40. Likely more social, emotional, psychological reasons are the cause. Determining what that is, of course, isn't particularly easy, i'm guessing. Good luck to you.
Idk, I think what you're really talking about is just ideas going hyperviral in tech companies very quickly without adequete time to judge their merits based on historical comparison, or any meaningful debate. Then afterward any attempt to challenge the idea, the fact that the idea is so popular is used to defend it. "How can you think that when X on twitter said they agree! That company X is doing it so we're gonna do it."

Kind of ironic for the innovation industry to just be a bunch of followers chasing whatever's popular huh.

When you legalize harmful substances, you create commercial opportunities for them to be sold, which gives malicious actors unbalanced power to sway political agents in their favor.

Once a power dynamic emerges, it becomes difficult to undo it until it is too late, and individuals become statistics to be used as evidence for repealing legislation that made such a power dynamic possible.

> So that's one sense in which they produce "open" things today.

But so does Microsoft, Google, or even Apple. But I don't think anyone would claim these companies are “Open” in any meaningful way.
> This is a completely ridiculous assertion because if Walmart didn't employ these people, then taxpayers then they would be required to be subsidized by the taxpayer even more.

That's a massive false dichotomy. There are options are vastly more options beyond "Walmart employs these people" and "Walmart doesn't employe these people". For example, Walmart could just... pay them more.

> Even if you could magically squeeze higher wages from Walmart profits without destroying the economy, most of these wages would go towards these government-protected rent seekers.

Walmart pays out billions in dividends every year and makes billions in profit. Asking that their business actually be sustainable and not rely on employee exploitation shouldn't be some bold proposal and if Walmart is incapable of existing without relying on its employees being on government assistance, then maybe Walmart shouldn't exist at all.
A blatantly false flamebait comment that started this whole thing is still standing so no, he is not doing just that, and the community supports misinformation as long as it makes them feel good.

The transition was gradual but did happen, and on one side you had a lot of pseudo-religious beliefs and on the other you had experimentation and the scientific method.
Please at least read the pages you quote.

> this is likely to have been driven in part by activities in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, such as testing and tracing services and the implementation of the vaccination programme.

Yes, if we include the many billions spent on faulty test and trace and broken PPE -the corrupt spending that went to pals of the Tory party- we see an increase in health spending.

Guess what happens to the amount of health care funding if you ignore the corrupt spend on PPE?
CVE-2022-46176: Cargo does not check SSH host keys
Is there supposed to be an article, or is this really just a screenshot with an edgy title?
If you disapprove of the way funds are being spent, the appropriate response is to campaign and vote for what you think are more reasonable policies.

Saying that tax-payers are the criminals by propping up a system with abuses is just as nonsensical as saying that non-thieves are criminals for propping up a system of property rights which creates abuses.

NYC has persistently been an economic hub and a place where people sacrifice a lot to live and work. NY as a state and NYC both have quite significant public spending. I think on a per-capita basis, the NYC municipal budget alone is is in the range of ~$11k/head and the state budget is another $10k/head. Do you think those facts are unrelated? If you look at NYC's evolution over history, it has repeatedly needed active government programs to make a dense city function, and to actively support trade, commerce and finance. In the absence of coordination and expenditure, I think Manhattan's growth would have been capped by sanitation issues or the limited water supply centuries ago. There are plenty of places (most) in the country with lower per-capita public expenditure, but none of them have succeeded in creating NYC's economic success. Do you think that's an accident?
You get situations of people backing into you which looks like you ran into them. I think it's on the absence of other evidence the car with front damage is presumed guilty but if you have additional evidence like a dashcam you can challenge that presumption.
Done :)

Because those are easy to change. Service names inevitably get strewn across who knows how many other services and pieces of infrastructure.

The computer module instead of the standard Pi is the first step of those strategies. It doesn't use the SD card (in fact the data sheet gives details on how to configure the OS if you won't be shutting it down before removing power) and the device as a whole requires smaller electrical current that the standard device.
Thank you for the very detailed answer. Though I think you may have just convinced me to stay with my current solution of Raspberry Pi's + 4k TVs for custom display signage in my office (but it's not nearly as cool).
While Sailfish, Nemo Mobile and Sxmo manage to feel somewhat smooth, slow storage and meager AllWinner A64 memory bandwith are what make the PinePhone feel like that.

I found postmarketOS and DanctNIX Sxmo and Phosh good enough to be bearable (it helps that I am used to slow systems thanks to being exposed to terribly slow business software at my day job).
When I was learning programming, I had a very experienced friend holding my hand along the way. I felt that this was great for me as a beginner, although sometimes she would way over-explain something that was irrelevant as a beginner.

As time went on, I relied on her less and less, until one day I realized I didn't need her anymore to write anything. At some point during that time, it had "clicked" for me.

I think another part of the click happened when I transitioned from Java to Scala: it made me realize just how much time I was wasting manually transforming types/managing collections when map/filter/fold etc were sitting under my nose the whole time in Scala.

Yes, I know that Java has ways to accomplish the same things with streams/collectors, but it's not even close to as fluent as it is with Scala. For me, the only language I can truly enter a "flow" state in is Scala.
You can contract the pcb work out on fiver and have the boards made at one of the Chinese board houses nowdays. I think I've seen people on Fiverr that provide turn key solutions you pay for it in turnaround spread and back and forth though.
> How do those people live, then?

Not alone. My experience is that most of “those people” live with spouses, families, and roommates.

This isn’t necessarily preferable, but this is how most people survive. When I lived in Manhattan, it was super common for a married couple to split a studio. And most people I knew in their 20s would have 4-5 people splitting rent.

And everyone chose this. Some left the city (like me) and some grew their careers and eventually bought or rented their own space.

The good news is that people were mobile so no one was forced to live there.
In most grocery stores I've been to since the 90s, fancy and middle class, there was at least a few whole bean bags or some bulk beans in a dispenser for sale, with an adjustable grinder there. Heck, one time I opened a bag before paying for it and ground it with their grinder, then had them scan the empty bag.

IIRC ground coffee is still "fresh" even by snob standards for a day or three before it goes stale.

Same! I've been paid to produce and deploy software solutions for maybe slightly less time than you (under 20 years, more than 15). I technically still have a Twitter account that I literally never login to or interact with in any way. I have zero "social" apps on my rooted phone. I dumped Facebook after grad school. I never opened any insta, tiktok, etc. I do not blog. I do not post weird updates on LinkedIn either. I basically opted out of the entire "digital social" thing altogether. People who are important to me know how to contact me. I don't feel any need to "have a presence" in the digital social sphere, outside of leaving my thoughts here sometimes (because I respect this site, how it operates and it's community)...and because it hardly feels like typical "social" stuff we see today.

So, I guess my point is that like you I've found that it doesn't really seem to matter to my career, my compensation or my ability to be happy or feel connected to others. You're in good company. Cheers!
We're talking about these people right?

I didn't even see that comment. We don't see everything that gets posted to HN (not even close) and often don't read the threads in linear order. If there's a comment that ought to be moderated but hasn't been, that's the likeliest explanation, and you can help by letting us know about it—by flagging it and/or (in egregious cases) emailing hn@ycombinator.com.

It isn't against the rules to be wrong. When someone else is wrong, and you know something, the thing to do is to respectfully show how they are wrong by sharing some of what you know. Then you can contribute to improving the threads instead of degrading them.

I wasn't responding to your point about how different countries treat the internet, though; I was responding to the fact that you've been breaking the site guidelines a lot lately. This, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34265230. That's obviously not cool, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are.
You could also go to a neurologist and have some tests run -- beyond general aging and its impacts on memory and reasoning there are other types of issues that can impact people much younger than expected.

That said, if you do not exercise you should really try for a few weeks. Where your body may have been able to coast with normal effort in the past as you get older you need to give it more focused work to get the same level of outcome. Beyond being good for your health exercise is known to have huge impacts on both mental state and acuity.
Curiously the vehicle behind the Tesla barely hit it whereas the drivers of the cars further back in the pileup seemed to have paid less attention.

There would have been multiple ways for the cars further back to prevent a pileup: Drive slower, keep more distance. If you speed, have both hands on the wheel, look at the road, and be ready to brake quickly.

It does sound like there were no severe injuries, so you could argue that people kept enough distance to avoid serious injuries.

More often than not, I have my foot on the accelerator and not the brake when I am using AP. I don't drive a lot in general, but over the tens of thousands of miles on AP I had it hit the brakes hard enough to be a problem only once. It's definitely randomly slowed down many times, but with your foot on the accelerator it's very easy to override before it drops more than a couple MPH.

Now, I've also heard people say that the phantom braking issue can be really violent and so it's very possible I've just never experienced true phantom braking, but based on how many of the drivers behind the initial wreck slammed into each other it's clear many folks do not pay enough attention or leave enough following distance to be safe.
I catch your drift on the common sense is just forgotten learning. That's probably closer to the truth than we'd all like to be told. Thing is, I don't think you've contradicted me re: too much confidence in your abilities.

It's basically like rolling Nat20s in Dungeons and Dragons. Eventually everyone runs into a situation they need to get out of, A.K.A 'roll to save' (I think that's the correct term). You can reduce to times you need to 'roll a nat 20' by improving your skills, knowledge, and gear. Or you can think of those things as removing sides from the die, making it more likely you can get a positive result. When you're accomplished and capable outdoors, though, whatever puts you on your ass is probably not just a paper cut. A higher ceiling of competence drags the floor of consequences up with it.

Even more so than that though, the best way to stay safe is to not put yourself in situations where you need to "roll a nat 20" to save yourself or avoid something bad happening. I.e "don't let your guard down" is a preventative, and the saying goes 'something something an ounce of it...'
Many years ago I had a two-week reservation at a nice looking Best Western. When I tried to check-in they told me the room was not available, but they had another hotel nearby where I could stay for the same rate. It was late in the day, so I felt I really had no choice but to take their offer. The other hotel was far overpriced for what I paid for that night. The next day I walked to the other hotels in the area. They all had empty rooms and they were all much better deals than what I had. So I cancelled the rest of my reservation and never looked back. To this day I avoid that hotel chain.
On the inference accelerator? IIUC, the RAM is just to hold the model and whatever state it needs during a particular inference operation. I'm not an expert on ML but AFAIK 16 GiB is plenty. I suppose it'd also need to hold onto reference frames for the video decoding, but at 1080p with e.g. YUV420 (12 bits per pixel), you can hold a lot of those in 16 GiB. edit: e.g., 4 references for each of the 96 streams would take ~1 GiB.

Even on the host, 16 GiB is fine for say an NVR. They don't need to keep a lot of state in RAM (or for that matter to do a lot of on-CPU computation either). I can run an 8-stream NVR on a Raspberry Pi 2 without on-NVR analytics. That's about its limit because the network and disk are on the same USB2 bus, but there's spare CPU and RAM.

I have stared at the image for some seconds and I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.
You're right. The first rear-ending may have been unavoidable. However, you can see from the rear surveillance camera that subsequent vehicles could have stopped if everyone agreed to keep larger following distances. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there is the game-theoretical issue of other drivers cutting in when large gaps form so it would take some coordination on a technology / policy / cultural level to resolve the issue.
Squad Leader is complicated and IMHO not a good first introduction to board games. I'm sure people can give you other suggestions. How old is your son? What other board games has he played? What computer games does he like?
They are very useful when the prediction resulted in not participating in this market at all.

For those who are in this market (as Coinbase is), they are useful in terms of planning and setting up a large reserve of rainy day funds - for less risky venture it may not be necessary, but for crypto it absolutely is. Unless plan B is to crash and burn which seems to be the MO for most crypto companies.
>It's inherently linked to consumerism, advertising, mass media and fashion.

Strongly disagree with this statement. It's currently linked to those things, but popular culture from even 300 years ago was not inherently linked to consumerism at all. It was more rooted in songs and stories that were performed and shared in relatively public spaces like taverns, schools and churches. What changed has mostly stemmed from the advent of the printing press and the subsequent creation of copyright laws.

Nowadays popular culture is linked to consumerism, but that's because new cultural content is treated strictly as a product first and a common point of reference second. We have created these perverse economic incentives that have wreaked absolute havoc on the creative commons, which for the vast majority of human history included essentially all of "popular culture".

Since ChatGPT is excellent at bullshit, that seems to be a great fit.
An essay about academia (versus software engineering in industry) would probably make slightly different points. Academics definitely know their history.

Also, when an actual disruptive new technology is first invented, jumping on it and trying to do something with it is both trendy and arguably rational, but this is a relatively rare occurrence.
You reduce bed numbers by pushing less sick people out of hospital. This means that your two 6-bed bays now don't have 4 people who need minimal nursing, 6 people who need moderate nursing, and 2 people who need high level nursing. It means you have 8 people who need moderate level nursing and 4 people who need high level nursing.

Extremely subjective personal take: it’s the walled garden.

The Wolfram ecosystem’s cash cow has always been academia. WA/Mathematica are great tools for what they are, but they’re not exactly open or hacker-friendly, nor is there much incentive for them to become that - so while ChatGPT+WA is an interesting concept, it’s hard to foresee it taking off and actually going anywhere.
They likely saw the $65K and listened to all the people that said it was going to $100K and never sold - watching it plummet. The "what if" scenario is pretty useless considering the entire point of any currency is to maintain value - which allows the predictable purchase of things creating an efficient market.

One of the original arguments for BitCoin was that it would maintain it's value during inflationary periods - clearly something it has not achieved. The justification for BitCoin seems to be a moving target - depending on whatever the perceived problems are - Dr BitCoin's economic cure all.
