jonnyreiss | 6 months ago | on: YC Demo Day: I mapped out every YC company on an interactive world map

I found a bug --- when I click on a circle with a number, the map correctly zooms in to the area and shows the companies, but when I zoom out, I am unable to load companies outside of that area, e.g. I clicked on SLC and saw the companies there, but I see no companies outside of SLC when I zoom out.

Yes, I regularly interact with ChatGPT in Spanish

What do you mean by hand code?

I was able to get it running on MLX on my M2 Max machine within a couple minutes using their example: https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/tree/main/whisper

jonnyreiss | 2 years ago | on: How do you reach management/decision makers at companies that hide 'em?

You can take their name and then reverse engineer the email format, e.g. First Last => [email protected] | [email protected]

Why do you keep submitting this? It's also not an ask.

Yes, this works very well, especially when combined with an [Assistant](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/overview)

I found this on Atlas Obscura before a trip to Barcelona, and I was able to set up a free tour with them via email. I love the contrast of the computer against the shell of the old church, and it immersed me further into my Dan Brown book character LARP.

jonnyreiss | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to?

The Stuxnet Episode (https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/29/) is one of my favorites

jonnyreiss | 2 years ago | on: Show HN: Shimmer – ADHD coaching for adults, now on web

I've had success with Psychology Today search in the Seattle area --- if a provider is full or has no openings, ask if they know anyone who is not. That has also helped me!

jonnyreiss | 2 years ago | on: What is really going on at Amazon Fresh?

The organic varieties are much more in line with what a consumer expects to find in Whole Foods --- this retailing choice makes sense to me.

jonnyreiss | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is OpenAI going to be the biggest company of all time?

> If someone was sufficiently motivated, they could probably dethrone OpenAI in 2 months with enough funding.

I'd argue Google is sufficiently motivated to dethrone OpenAI --- so why haven't they? They have plenty of money to throw at the problem as well.

jonnyreiss | 8 years ago | on: Self-driving Uber car kills Arizona woman crossing street

Unfortunately, this is a design that is pretty common in many of Tempe's major intersections. I pass through a similiar intersection biking home from ASU and have had multiple close calls with human drivers.

Anecdata: The times I have interacted with one of Uber's autonomous vehicles at this intersection, they tend to hit the brakes pretty hard as they are about to enter the turn lane and I am around 10ft behind them. All of my interactions with them, however, have been during the day, and it was unclear if it was the human driver in control.
