Just follow the accounts of the tools and authors you mentioned on Twitter. LangChainAI, hwchase17, huggingface, replit, etc. It seems like there is a meetup in SF every few days lately. There was just a langchain meetup in the Presidio area and a big AI event at the Exploratorium.
Any promising cures for tinnitus in the future? I've had it since 2018 and it appeared during a time when I was very stressed out. I have learned how to tune it out and live with it most of the time, but wish I could eliminate it all together. At the beginning I would look up different tricks for dealing with it, but they all seemed to make it worse. The most effective for me was to learn to ignore it.
Ive had tinnitus for 20 years. I follow possible cures quite close. Right now the closest to a scientifically proven cure is Susan Shore's device (combination of vague nerve stimuli and sound).
There are other possible treatments but their are off label. Brazil scientists had good response with actamprostate, but no follow up was done. There are other medicines that seem to yield good results but usually have several secondary effects.
Some research has linked tinnitus with Epilepsy. It seems the brain lack of control / filtering of signals is common for both.
My path was to join a mobile game company and work server side. There is plenty of need for vanilla REST APIs, content management systems, build pipelines, devops, admin panel development, billing systems, and other code required to run the game. I've also seen demand for technical artists who write plug-ins for Unity and other tools that help 3d artists. Whatever path you use to get in, it's pretty easy from there to move around to other areas and companies.
I second this. I've used PostgreSQL for a long time, but in the past couple of years I've spent time learning how to use TimeScaleDB, PostGIS, and the JSON data types. Recently I've been working on a side project that uses Supabase (built on PostgreSQL). There was a post on HN yesterday on PostgreSQL full text search and now I want to incorporate that as well.
Similar experience, lived in both Seattle and Portland. There is a lot to like about the Pacific Northwest and I loved living there the first few years. But as the years passed I got a bit more depressed.
Had to pay a lot more to move to California, but the sunshine tax has been worth it for me.
From what I remember, Hacker News enjoyed crypto discussions in its very early days (early 2010's) when it was just bitcoin and a small number of technologists discussing it.
I think I noticed a turning point when it became more mainstream and rebranded to "web3". The nonstop hyping of NFT's and "web3 is the future" and "web3 will make web2 obsolete" takes on Twitter has gotten a bit annoying. This is coming from someone who finds it interesting and has spent some time working in crypto.
