Show HN: Rispose.com – A free tool to embed OpenAI Assistants on any website
Hey, OpenAI recently released "assistants" - These have RAG built into the API, which means that you can provide up to 10.000 files to the assistant without the overhead of dealing with vector databases, splitting files into chunks and more.

They work surprisingly well, so I've built a free simple tool to embed them on websites. It has no dependencies and simply uses fetch to communicate to my backend which proxies openai.

In the future I plan to add more widget embedding options (currently only chat is available).

Let me know if you have any specific questions about either the tool or openai assistants in general.
> My objection is to the idea that it's always a good thing

If everyone doesn't follow the standards all the time then there are no standards.

Code is not art, it's instructions.

If you can't write instructions without adding your own avant garde whitespace brush strokes to it then yes coding for a professional company may not be your jam.
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing but I'd do the change if necessary. I just liked the sound of Anki Donkey :)
I don't know if this is location-specific, but I miss the times when PC technicians would actually try and diagnose problems.

Whenever a family member sends their PC to a "repair shop" (usually because "it was too slow") they get back a freshly-reinstalled PC and most of their files dumped inside a folder called "Backup". It then falls to me to reinstall all of their software while praying that their tax software has a "restore from copy" function or, failing that, at least a clearly-marked "database.db" file that I can overwrite.
The math seems off to me here. In particular:

>> So here is the deal: If you have 16,000 GPUs, and you have a blended average of on-demand (50 percent), one year (30 percent), and three year (20 percent) instances, then that works out to $5.27 billion in GPU rental income over four years with an average cost of $9.40 per hour for the H100 GPUs.

This makes a very strong assumption that the rental cost of an H100 will not change over the next four years. This is wildly optimistic. Instead, we can infer expected prices by looking at the differential rates for one and three-year commitments:

>> We estimated the one year reserved instance cost $57.63 per hour, or $7.20 per GPU-hour, and we know that the published price for the three year reserved instance is $43.16, or $5.40 per GPU-hour.

On the margin, the cloud provider should be indifferent between an on-demand rental, a one-year reservation, and a three-year reservation. That implies that three consecutive one-year reservations should provide about the same income as the three-year reservation.^[1]

Someone who places a three-year commitment will spend $16.20 per hour in one year, over three years. The one-year commitment is $7.20 per hour in one year, over one year. Subtract the two, and we get the residual of $9.00, and divide by the two years remaining in the contract to get $4.50.

With this rough calculation, the two-year, one-year forward price of the H100 is about $4.50/hr. If we further assume that the price changes per year with a constant ratio (0.72), we can break that up the per-hour, one-year reservation prices as $7.20 (today), $5.22 (one year from now), and $3.78 (two years from now).

Going further into speculation and applying this ratio to rental revenue on the whole, that "$5.27b over four years" instead becomes $3.47b. Still a reasonable multiple of the purchased infrastructure cost, but it's less outlandish and emphasizes the profit potential of moving first in this sector (getting those long-term commitments while it's still a seller's market).

[1 — I'm ignoring the option-value in the one-year commitment, which allows the customer to seek a better deal after twelve months. This option-value is minimal of the GPU cloud is expected to be at-capacity forever, such that the provider can replace customers easily.]
Honestly I did read that as "Employers who are married to their job are the best employers". You probably won't treat them like shit, but they'll still remain married anyway.

But such employees will sometimes leave and build their own stuff. Which they'll very likely succeed at, exactly because of the approach they have.

Ultimately, I think these are a bit different fields/markets, and a bit different kind of jobs. Engineers creating real unique new stuff, vs more "bland" engineers just being a hand to accelerate someone's efforts. I worked in both roles and can clearly see pros and cons of both. Largely depends also on life phase one's at, which one would a person prefer.
Very excited. Just applied.
I guess its time to make a blog that's only available to read through ssh now.
Just the J1772 cable quoted in this is $140-150... plus however much an enclosure, arduino, etc etc is.

How is this low cost? J1772 chargers can easily be found for this cheap or cheaper. 16A chargers go for $120ish these days, and 32A capable ones are only... $140-150.
Reliable and safe should be the priorities for ev charging not low cost
AI isn't, yet at least, replacing developers any more than it is replacing lawyers or any other job. It can help a developer code a function, or at least act as smart autocomplete (GitHub CoPilot), which is about the equivalent of helping a laywer write an e-mail - productivity tool, but not about to replace anyone.

There's a ton of work to be done before we get to the stage of AI replacing actual jobs - in the shorter term things like planning/reasoning, working memory and factuality need to be addressed, and to learn to do an actual job then you need online (incremental real-time) learning too. These all need architectural innovation - they are not a matter of scaling up.

Bear in mind that in the 7 years(!) since the Transformer was invented, all we've done is basically a bunch of engineering work to scale them up... The pace of AI improvement may seem fast, but here we are after 7 years with SOTA $100M AIs still struggling to do very basic logical tasks like the recent Twitter A::B 4-rule letter replacement challenge! It seems pretty clear that AI isn't going to be replacing developers any time soon!
That sort of explains his last sentence.
You should just get a perpetual license to a PDF tool for $70. Best money ever spent. And get a portable exe version too.
The one I would fault them on a bit is security. Nobody is perfect there but imagine if they took even 10% to hire a bunch of top people with the goal of replacing every internet-facing bit of memory unsafe code. That’s a huge project but with their resources you could invest in things like tooling for conversion and analysis, and methodically replace every media codec, parser, etc.
> but arrows were always the biggest killer

Do you remember your source for this? It doesn't sound right. I thought most death/injury occurred when the losing army fled, and the victorious army hunted them down. Also, just mechanically, even moderately sized armies were at least a mile long across their front; there's no way that massed volleys could've been used across the whole front, or even, really, more than a small fraction of it.

> lead balls fired by early muskets were often more deadly than modern firearms

If slow lead balls are deadlier than fast jacketed bullets, then modern armies would use slow lead balls. Maybe slow lead balls are more dangerous when they hit, but less dangerous overall?
Especially terrifying is that the source of his work and the source of his death may be the same.
Putting the cash in an interest bearing account would be even smarter.

That's fine, it'll allow more competition from those that are actually not publishing their content versus those that are doing both publishing and editorializing.

I should have clarified and specified that I was only referring to these trillion dollar multi-national corporations that can obviously afford to regulate their platforms themselves.

Regulations can be targeted you know, they don't have to be full-stop.
Not necessarily. JSON is used in a lot of places, also for large documents in data lakes and archives. It's useful to be able to query them with tools.

You can break a country’s laws depending on whether or not you are ever going to go to that country, or what treaties your country has signed which might cause it to enforce other countries’ laws.

These GDPR conversations tend to pointlessly go back and forth on this because one side is describing the GDPR from the point of view of: what does the law say? The other is looking at it from the point of view of: I only have to follow my country’s laws.

The latter is closer to correct in some technical sense; laws have finite jurisdictions. But the EU has a big market and so lots of entities play ball with them, to some extent, in general, so it is probably better for most people to comply.

tl:dr; use indices in Rust, they work pretty well, and proper use of the type-system helps with reducing overhead without sacrificing safety.
They need a few years at least to have a new product line that generates new revenue and profits in.

Also likely China will put further pressure on its revenue.

Great resource! I would like to ask the webmaster to show the dates of each work visible without any searching.
When you are young and especially when you don't have a family to support, you move to some place where you like to work. When you are older and opportunities are rare (and agism is huge in the industry), you just take what you can and escape any way you can, like video games or side passions of any sorts. I bought a motorcycle when I was over 30 years old for commuting (heavy traffic, the bike was saving hours), but after a few years I started to take motorcycle trips in the weekends and, once in a while, across Europe. But it can be anything that you find enjoyable, the point is that you have to try different things and see what you like, when I was 20-25 years old I had no desire to ever buy a motorcycle. Now, if it's a light rain, I am happy to take it for a ride.
Had issues with my hands too.

But wtf man making 500k? And not having some reasonable exit plan at this point?

This joke is a clever play on words that merges elements of computer programming and coffee culture. Let's break it down:

New startup sells coffee through SSH: SSH stands for Secure Shell, which is a network protocol that allows for secure communication between two computers. In this context, the joke suggests that this new startup is selling coffee through a secure connection, presumably online.

Is it /usr/locally grown and single .'ed?: This part of the joke is a play on the directory structure in Unix-like operating systems, where /usr typically contains user-related programs and data. "Locally grown" suggests that the coffee is sourced locally, and "single .'ed" is a wordplay on "single origin," a term used in coffee culture to denote coffee that comes from a single geographic origin. The /usr/locally grown part humorously combines Unix directory structure with the concept of coffee sourcing.

How quickly can they mv it to my ~?: Here, "mv" is a command in Unix systems used to move files or directories, and "~" represents the user's home directory. So, "mv it to my ~" is a playful way of asking how quickly they can deliver the coffee to the customer's home. It's also a pun on the idea of moving the coffee to the user's home directory.

Don’t we need data before we can say that? Human drivers are pretty bad but self-driving software is hard to compare appropriately since you can’t just use national averages which include conditions the self-driving systems don’t support.
It seems unwise to based your opinion of SBF on “Going Infinite” especially given that the court case established he stole customer funds, not that he’s a silly boy who doesn’t know how to keep the books straight.

Given required capital rules, your bank deposit analogy is so wide of the mark it’s hard to know where to start but one thing a bank doesn’t do with customer funds is give them to a hedge fund which is allowed to run an almost infinite negative balance. If you own and run that hedge fund that isn’t poor record keeping or poor risk management it’s stealing customer funds.

If you’re going to bring the “unlicenced broker bro” message in Binance up it seems remiss not to mention that SBF and Caroline Ellison and others coordinated the transfers between FTX and Alameda in a Telegram chat group called “Wire Fraud”.

You know, I think you're right. I never realized that Python list comprehension is basically filter/map (and reduce is an external function). That is actually pretty horrible syntax for it from that perspective.

that is low cost ...

I don't know what you are referring too, maybe it's aliexpress level and they skimped on wire thickness. Most of the cost is the pure copper cable here, which should indeed cost 100+ for a 16ft cable, if you don't want it to melt when it's hot outside.

> Which AI specifically? Because every LLM I've tried has usually [...]

I think pipeline_peak's remark is unwarranted, but we probably should be trying to look ahead a number of decades (depending on how long you have left in your career) rather than only considering what's possible with today's LLMs. Two years ago, before ChatGPT and DALL-E 2, many would've considered what's being done now with generative AI as infeasible.

But even with current LLMs, I've been surprised at GPT-4 Turbo's ability to produce working scripts for problems that, though maybe not the most challenging, weren't entirely trivial. I'd speculate there are a number of useful tasks within the LLM's capacity and just needing a good integration. Maybe Microsoft releases a designer tool that allows creating static company websites, iterating based on client prompts and the model's vision capability, for example.
Tiny side note in case someone is interested: my health crashed in 2014, I used to be a runner, now I can't jog nor reach sweat levels of efforts. But you don't need to reach that level to restore/improve your health tremendously.

doing 10 repetition at low speed, low intensity[0] of the two abose everytime you get bored, anxious, or lost on a youtube rabbithole will feel like nothing, yet, over the week you'll start to feel muscle grow slowly, less joint pain, better posture, better ability to move, everything will feel easier thus having a better mood too.

It's possible, but it'll cost you a lot more. It's cheaper to make backups and learn to restore from them, because your software is going to crash anyway, and your disk will die and take your most recent copy with it. Backups are your friends.

My friend recently had his 3090 die, and somebody was able to diagnose the problem and replace the dead components - but it cost something like £100. That makes sense for an item he bought for £600, but if it cost £10 for something, it makes more sense to replace it.
Thank you for the reply. It seems like this particular application of mRNA is a lot more promising than attempting to use it against a virus, which would mean constantly playing catch-up with the mutations. I hope mRNA has an application for something like this.
> Which is clearly a dependent clause of the subject, “A well regulated militia.” Every other amendment in the bill of rights follows a similar structure.

I wonder if that means the lack in the US of official citizen militias dependent on private firearm ownership could be considered unconstitutional.

IIRC, the National Guard is reckoned to be the militia, but that seems a little like BS to me. It seems pretty much to be a de-facto component of the federal military, complete with rotations to fight foreign wars, etc.

What do you mean by this? Not having an IFR rating does not mean you're not allowed to use the navigation aids or the plane's autopilot.
I disagree, the containment field should be a minimum of 4x4. This was done to prevent engineers from being too greedy and not giving the singulo the space it deserves.

Also it gives an additional layer of safety that gave you a moment to act and shut down the PA when it grew from 3 to 4 size. Putting that in a 3x3 containment will eat the field emitters and the singulo will be loose.

Having it require a 4x4 field in the first place was a safer option.

A half-hearted product launch of something even iPhone loyalists didn't buy because it costs 2 months' rent and has no real use case out of the box. Zero buzz online; even Apple appears to have forgotten it, seeding rumours instead of on-device LLMs to get the hype train going again.

The news of production cuts is probably the biggest indicator that this isn't the Apple we know.

That was in the context of hostile nations, like Russia or Iran or Cuba, where Starlink has no chance of being allowed.

He might get a slap on the wrist when his comp package gets voted on by shareholders this June.

Is there any reason to give a darn about what happens internally except for people’s outsized fascination with Musk’s personality? People love him or hate him for Tesla and Twitter, but in the end does it really have an impact on a macroeconomic level? I’m of course sympathetic to the thousands losing their jobs because of his decisions, and that’s assuming another CEO wouldn’t make similar cuts.
Afaik disagreeing should be as easy as agreeing. So I don't think it's a GDPR-compliant implementation. Also disagreeing should not be discouraged by visual methods (such as different colors) or making the button look as it's a disabled button (as it does in this example).
