Show HN: Eva AI-Relational Database System for Faster AI-Powered Applications 28 by jarulraj | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi friends, We are building EVA, an AI-Relational database system with first-class support for deep learning models. Our goal with EVA is to create a platform that supports AI-powered multi-modal database applications operating on structured (tables, feature vectors, etc.) and unstructured data (videos, podcasts, pdf, etc.) with deep learning models. EVA comes with a wide range of models for analyzing unstructured data, including models for object detection, OCR, text summarization, audio speech recognition, and more. The key feature of EVA is its AI-centric query optimizer. This optimizer is designed to speed up AI-powered applications using a collection of optimizations inspired by relational database systems. Two of the most important optimizations are: + Caching: EVA automatically reuses previous query results (e.g., inference results), eliminating redundant ...

Real Interview Recordings to Help Job Seekers 8 by oshinubijoshua | 5 comments on Hacker News. I'm exploring an idea for a platform that will allow job interviewees (esp. techies) to share their interview recordings to help others prepare for similar interviews. I believe this will be extremely valuable for job seekers who are looking to improve their interview skills and gain insights into what employers are really looking for. However, I'm aware that privacy and anonymity is a big concern and I want to make sure that interviewees feel safe and comfortable sharing their recordings. So, I've put a lot of thought into how we can ensure anonymity while still providing valuable insights to job seekers. Here's what I'm thinking so far: - All videos will be completely anonymized before being shared on the platform. This includes blurring out faces, changing voices (if requested), and removing any identifying information such as company names and any personal info. - A...

Tell HN: Cloudflare verification is breaking the internet 114 by statquontrarian | 80 comments on Hacker News. Across many different pages including science journals, ChatGPT, and many others, CloudFlare verification goes into an infinite loop of: 1. "Verify you are a human" 2. Check the box or perform some other type of rain dance 3. "Please stand by, while we are checking your browser..." 4. Repeat step 1 I'm on Fedora Linux 37 using Firefox 110. The workaround is to use Chrome. After experiencing this dozens of times and getting annoyed of needing to use Chrome, I finally went and deleted all my cookies and cache which I had been dreading to do. It did not help. I don't have a CloudFlare account so I wrote up a detailed post on their community forums. I offered a HAR file and was willing to do diagnostics. It received no responses and it was auto-closed. It's unacceptable that CloudFlare is breaking the internet while offering no community support....

What was the product you were working on? 2. Were there any new software engineering challenges that came from working with GPT4 (e.g. output quality, testing, monitoring, etc.)?
