• Ask HN: PG's 'Do Things That Don't Scale' Manual Examples

  At Enchant (https://enchant.com): - We launched without billing. Early customers used the product for free until we eventually built out billing - We offer data imports from competitors. It's a semi-automated process - sometimes there's existing working code, sometimes it needs tweaking, sometimes it gets written as part of the process. Either way, it's a win if it helps someone make a purchase decision. - We... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Who's using Ruby web development without Ruby on Rails (RoR)?

  We[0] use Ruby without Rails - Sinatra for the most part. I started the codebase over a decade ago now, and at the time Rails felt a little heavy (inline with your comments). That said, Rails does let you get started pretty quickly without needing much of anything else. Rails has more magic. If you prefer less magic, then Sinatra is the way. https://enchant.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to offer effective free trials

  For our own SaaS[0], we provide a timed trial. But we regularly provide trial extensions because reality of business is that it takes time to get everybody on board and onboarded. Reading this post, I suspect '30 days of use' would result in less 'please extend the trial' emails and would mean less friction during the trial. However, there is a tradeoff: when somebody reaches out for a trial extension, it may be... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What made your business take off that you wish you'd done much earlier?

  In the space we[1] operate, there's no shortage of competitors. Over the years, I've seen that those who can unlock marketing see a lot more success, even with a shittier product. As a developer-turned-founder, a lot of marketing feels sleazy. Was it always this way? So much link-bait, fluffy posts that are really big ads, shallow content just for SEO, upvoting-rings on platforms, etc. There's so few who seem to... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Betula – federated bookmarking software for the independent web

  The word "betula" in Hebrew means "virgin". Was this intentional? I almost spat out my dinner. https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%D7%91%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%94&op=translate. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• No "Zero-Shot" Without Exponential Data

  Honestly, these are some of my favorite stories and I think more ML people need to learn more about mythology (I say this as a ML researcher btw). Because once you go down this path you start to understand how "Rino" == "Unicorn". You have to really think about how to explain things when you're working with a limited language. Yeah, we have the word "rino" now, but how would you describe one to someone who has no... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Generating Text-to-Speech Audio Files Using Google Text-to-Speech API in Node.js

  Const fs = require('fs'); Const tts = require('google-tts-api'); Const axios = require('axios'); // Function to convert text to speech and save as an audio file Async function textToSpeech(text, language, outputFile) { try { const url = await tts.getAudioUrl(text, { lang: language || 'en', slow: false, host: 'https://translate.google.com', }); const response = await axios.get(url,... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

  Thanks for correcting me. Apparently, I was too credulous of https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=nl&text=monster&op=translate. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• OpenVoice: Versatile Instant Voice Cloning

  First narrow it down to somewhere whose main language you can speak. I picked Germany because I already had some experience with the language and slightly Dunning Kruger'd myself. I like it, but… well, even native German speakers say „Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache“ ("German is hard"). Cyprus has a lot of English speakers (and indeed a lot of street furniture that looks just like the UK, plus two UK... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
