Curious why open source? At the end of the day, lead gen is mostly about data curation. You’re either paying for access to curated feeds or spending time/money building your own pipeline.
Thanks for the example and that sounds really solid cost savings and definitely agree with the trend that it is here to stay.
For invoice parsing (various formats), are you just using GPT4V? When GPT4V initially came out, i benchmarked it against an out of the box invoice parser from Google Cloud (https://cloud.google.com/document-ai) on 16 documents and it was much better accuracy wise. For ex: i'd get results parsing 10,100 as 101100 (no comma).
Curious if you saw problems like this in your pipeline or if its gotten much better since?
Hi HN! I recently came across an really impressive 3D animation on Sustainable Horizons website: https://sustainablehorizons.ai/ (I have no affiliation)
The level of detail is so good. Website claims using Generative AI (and three.js).
I was curious if anyone had pointers on how something a AI-powered 3D animation authoring workflow would look like. Any guidance or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
When it comes to technology, I find books to be a secondary citizen. If I look at things I know and use in my day job. Things like stack overflow, blog posts and reading man pages have been my primary knowledge sources.
But off late, I've been reading books and mostly enjoying the titles I've read. But the biggest problem for me is finding my next book.
Amazon mostly recommends titles very closely related to what I've purchased, and I haven't had much success with goodreads lists. So I'm curious how HN users find their next book.
1) New releases from publishers/editors/authors I like. If you like 3 books from one publisher, you're probably more likely to like another book from that publisher despite its topic. Same for editors. And, for authors although author releases are less frequent than editors which are less frequent than publishers.
2) Colleagues and friends. Word of mouth still seems to be the number one way people discover books. Ask your friends what they are currently reading. Hop over to GoodReads.com and see if you can find a network that reads genres similar to what you like.
3) Blogs/forums. We like to talk about what we're reading since that makes an otherwise rather solo activity more social. Search the personal/academic/company blogs for topics you like.
Finally, why not create a hacker news thread called "What are you currently reading?" :)
