Show HN: Instant context when paged on-call
We created a tool that saves time for on-call engineers.

Basically as soon as you get paged in Slack by Jira or Pagerduty, we respond with:

- Past similar issues that might provide context
- Relevant solutions from your company's confluence runbooks
- POCs from other teams who may be involved in the issue
- The ability to one-click create a war room
- Instant setup. Just invite Pandem to the relevant on-call slack channels

We currently just launched our closed beta, and are accepting companies to test it out :)

I love little libraries like this. I currently use pico.css and will check this one out. This is what our standard DOM elements in the browser should look like. But given that they don’t, there’s libraries like this.

I googled what “classless” meant for this library after another user commented and found the link below if folks are interested in similar libraries.

Can someone ELI5 what is does "edge" computing means?

The way I understand it is that is moving some operations closer to the client to avoid bandwidth costs and improve performance.

I thought of the Tesla car computer as edge computing, as it does a lot of processing within the car that would otherwise add latency and reliance on a internet connection.

But for web browsers? Going to some websites?

What sort of apps need this functionality?

Seems like over-engineering, so I'm looking for someone to explain me.

Try mushroom matcha (ryze brand). I used to drink tea, a lot. But now I am only mixing mushroom matcha with a small spoon of raw organic maca powder, and a hot water. Don't add maca in the evening, it might affect your sleep hours.

It's been pretty much my drink for the last couple of years.

> From a billing perspective, AWS does not charge for the EC2 instance itself when stopped, as there's no physical hardware being reserved; a stopped instance is just the configuration that will be used when the instance is started next. Note that you do pay for the root EBS volume though, as it's still consuming storage.

Shutdown standbys absolutely the way to do it.

Does AWS offer anything for this, because it's very tedious to set this up.

Former journalist here. I worked at a business dot-com where the writers were expected to churn out at least 5 market briefs a day, and the majority of them did more. I also worked at a daily newspaper where it wasn't uncommon for me to write 8-10 news briefs a day, but they were largely just rehashing police reports or otherwise summarizing content that was already in front of me (as opposed to doing boots-on-the-ground reporting).
What do you expect when you have such vacuous and non-owning words for management as “leadership”. “The leadership of nation X”, “the leadership in the company”. They’re huffing their own self-important smoke without taking direct responsibility.

> The timeline may not matter as much as OpenAI may think, though. In the 1990s, Tom Waits cited Midler's case when he won a $2.6 million lawsuit after Frito-Lay hired a Waits impersonator to perform a song that "echoed the rhyming word play" of a Waits song in a Doritos commercial. Waits won his suit even though Frito-Lay never attempted to hire the singer before casting the soundalike.

> The only claim she has is that someone who sounds like her will add value to their product more than if the person didn't sound like her. At which point the question is: how much value?

That may be relevant when damages are calculated, but I don't think that's relevant to the question of if OpenAI can impersonate her or not.

> You cannot hire a Harrison Ford impersonator

Good thing that the actress just used her own natural voice then and wasn't going around repeating lines from a movie or dressed up as the more wealthy celebrity.

I would hope that you don't want to ban all her potential customers from hiring her.

This is absolutely about her rights to sell her own natural voice to potential customers. If it were illegal for her customers to hire her, then this is basically making her job illegal just because someone who happens to have more money and power than her has a similar voice.
What customer discovery have you done so far?

> turn psuedo-software Excel files into real-software Python

I'm curious how many people actually have this problem. It strikes me that the corporate environments that are building big hairy excel files probably have locked down IT where running python is a difficult thing to do.

In the environments where you can get some kind of python running, it's probably likely that developers are looped in as part of an efficiency project, and doing some kind of voice of the customer / requirements capture and starting to build from scratch more or less.

There's a vanishing window for stuff like this, if you're a Microsoft shop like 99% of the corporate world I think you are turning those excel files into power apps and powerBI dashboards, before you are hiring python devs.

Without expectations. They can sense those from far off.

The trick to results is do it all the time, not just when you need something.

Comment on the weather. Say something they're wearing is nice or ask them about something unusual.

Don't do it because "that one's hot." Be nice. Curious.

A few ... Years of that and you'll be comfortable enough to chat casually in every situation, and you'll begin to notice you have good repor with multiple female acquaintances.

Seriously, take your time and be persistent.

Women will "IOI" you when they're ready to encourage you. That's "indicator of interest", like they make casual physical contact, they always seem to be "off to the side" from you (they're shy too.) even if not directly making eye contact with you, you might begin to tell they're waiting for you to talk to them (since you're doing that now...)
> EDIT: gnachman, if you're reading this, thank you for your tireless work on iTerm. It serves me extremely well whenever I'm on macOS and holds a special place in my heart. I bought a MacBook in 2013 and it was the first *nix system that I daily drove as a desktop for a long time. I installed iTerm 2 in my first week and it was a constant companion for many years.

I'd like to second this. I had to move to a mac for a bunch of reasons that I wasn't super thrilled with and iTerm2 was one of the first things I installed. It made the transition much more bearable and the system just that much more comfortable overall.

I'm sorry that people didn't take kindly to this feature. For what it's worth, I find myself wishing that `Konsole` had a plugin on the side that would allow me to interact with chatGPT and the like. If I ever end up back on a mac full time, I'll (probably) be a happy user of this new function!

Are you sure about that? It doesn't completely rely on it but didn't it use bing as one of the search providers? I'm probably completely wrong and my info is outdated but I'm asking because it would be pretty special (in a good way!) if they use their own index exclusively.
There are some bugs/exploits for chatbots that are like “if I repeatedly ask for ‘extra rare’ when ordering my burger, the restaurant will serve me a raw ground beef patty”. These are dangerous.

There are other bugs/exploits that are like “if I ask for ‘none beef, no sides, hold the toppings’, the restaurant will serve me an empty box without any food”. These are much less dangerous.

I won’t deny that it’s very cool and novel that it apparently works at all restaurants regardless of what they serve. I’d be fascinated to read an explanation of why that is. Fundamental property of the architecture? Something accidentally present in every data set? A fundamental property of textual data sets themselves?

But based on the apathetic reactions the author has received, it seems like providers universally agree this is a bug of the second kind. One is perhaps reminded of the old tale of the man who goes to the doctor and says “it hurts when I do this” - to which the doctor says “don’t do that, then”.

I would be surprised if Suno is very disruptive to the music industry.

It has extremely impressive output for a music generator, and it is very fun to play with - but people will always want to hear something new, and something real.

I don't think that music fans are going to connect with completely AI-generated music without a real personality and story behind it - and good, original music will always be more impressive to people and likely more successful than an AI-generated amalgamation of what already exists.
Agreed. It's just so much easier to hire for React. It has become the lingua franca of client frameworks.

There are still many teams that choose to use something else. But experience in React is most easily transferrable. Even if I had a project in Vue, I would still look for React expertise.

These are famous people who do and say things in public all the time, which I can see and evaluate entirely on my own.

I don't know the answer, but please notice the situation you describe is quite different: in this case, a lot of parties, if not all (showrunners of the cartoon, viewers, maybe even the actors, etc.) would prefer that the character still be voiced by the original actor; but usually, the talent is so much in demand that it would be too expensive.
I grew up using Google (and ask jeeves and yahoo.) In school, google won.

Now, google sucks. It's all ads, AI SEO maxxing, and the work to find useful results has gone up manyfold. I found myself using site:"" to get closer to what I needed.

I tried DDG, and it's more or less the same, but it's like the search engine is conspiring against you to more or less find completely useless results.

I tried kagi, and i love it. I hate that it's 100 searches for the cheapest account, but it gets me right into the thick of my research off the bat, plus searching smallweb has brought my faith back into the internet, and it's AI stuff is useful, insofar that it doesn't get in the way.

DDG is still my standard search tool for "picture of banana" or "WWII jet airplanes" but for "forum discussion 73 magazine article on homebrew superheterodyne receiver from 1980s" im going straight to kagi.
This is my understanding of the state of the art in transmitter technology too. ELRS equipment and software offer a number of advantages over every other protocol I have used.

Interesting.

I'm a vegan and I've thought about opening a cafe that serves exclusively plant based drinks and food without explicitly/overtly advertising itself as "Vegan" (I find that even in progressive places like Bay Area, it brings out the worst in some people).

Branding it as a chill fun place to hang out and work, collaborate, etc.

I'm not hurting for money, so even if it can cover costs (hopefully returns some profit, but really just need to cover costs) that's fine with me.

Anyone down to try it out if they're on the same page as me? I'm down to commit at least $100k with 3-4 others, low key really serious.

> Especially when the issue is providing customer support at scale to millions, if not billions of users (many of whom don't actually directly pay anything).

What about those who do pay? Cause I can promise you, you don't get any better support, even if you're paying them tens or hundreds of thousands a year. Maybe if you're paying them millions.

And the context here is NOT customer support, the context is cutting people off from their friends and family because the AI was wrong.
I've been dreaming of a device like this to run Obsidian on. I made an e-ink theme for Obsidian[1] but the refresh rate and ghosting of e-ink makes it less appealing to work with. I am curious to see if this device will solve some of those issues.

I work in animation. There are two reasons this is okay. One, the company owns the rights to the character lightning McQueen and they own the performance of the character by way of their contract with the actor. This probably makes more sense when the specific voice performance is sounds more “charactery” and less like the actors speaking voice but the same principle applies.

Additionally there is usually a provision explicitly allowing for this in the contract with the initial voice actor. Depending on the voice actor’s leverage, they can negotiate for things like approval over the replacement, right of first refusal to voice the character or payment when a sound-a-like is used.

The fact the character sounds exactly like Owen Wilson himself is somewhat incidental though understandably makes this confusing. What they couldn’t do in this case is have an Owen Wilson soundalike voice a DIFFERENT Disney character. They only own Owen Wilson’s voice as it pertains to portraying the character Lightning McQueen.

In the OpenAI situation and Frito Lay there is no initial contract granting any rights to a voice performance.

In the first I clearly stated that I used Khan Academy as a high school drop out and it helped me get into college.

You didn’t bother to read it before commenting because you were too busy dumping on something that didn’t match your bias, which is wrong and incredibly depressing, by the way.

And of course you need outside help/luck/support, but you’re pretending their is some binary threshold and then cherry picking from an imaginary slate of deceptions that you’ve accused me of, to imply I was too lucky or received too much encouragement. Those factors are a continuum and I received more than some and less than others; of course I’m lucky.

I’m sorry that you do not have faith in people to succeed, but I have plenty of examples. I am sitting across from an architect I work with who is also a dropout (who finds this amusing) and work with plenty of others who made the leap. I’m also sorry that you feel you have to try and tear others down to reaffirm your depressing world view.
