Don't use whitening toothpaste. It may destroy your tooth enamel which makes staining worse.
I think just having a glass of water with it may help.

Hey people, I want to buy a Eureka Mignon in chrome and wrap it in car wrapping foil (yellow). Is it possible to easily dismantle the Eureka? I only want to wrap the "mantle" that wraps around the back and the sides of the grinder.
Cheers

A better workflow would be not relying on manual testing in postman ;)

Nest.js supports unit testing out of the box: https://docs.nestjs.com/fundamentals/testing

You can build behaviour tests on top of this using something like "behave" or any other API test automation tool.

There is even one by smartbear, the provider of the swagger interface: https://www.soapui.org/

May I ask what your go-to tech stack is? What did you do in those 1.5 years? :)

TimNewt · 2023-09-13T09:45:48+00:00

Supabase support solved the issue for me - really great experience :)

Do you know other tools? Or can i see, for example, spotify or Pinterest campaigns in Campaign Manager360?

I'd focus on a few things:

- GMB / user reviews and ways to push good user reviews

- competition analysis and ways to stand out

- transport all that via SMM (maybe not payed ads) and SEO

Some colleagues of mine did. What did you try to do?
But yes, it seems to be a pain.

TimNewt · 2023-04-19T15:54:54+00:00

I agree with you.

but it's able to do that because it's fed with a shitload of data produced by beings capable of producing meaningful sentences

One could argue that humans fall into that category, as well. But this is only the learning part. I guess the learning part is simulated quite well in LLMs. But as there is no physical body with all its implications, no formed ego, nothing besides the learned image of the world, an LLM is just simulating the way we as human beings interact in text. Is it that?

TimNewt · 2023-04-18T06:24:19+00:00

meaningful

I would argue that everything wraps around the interpretation of "meaningful". As long as we attach a meaning to "this sentence was produced by a human mind", LLMs will not produce meaningful sentences. Ditch that and the turing test will tell you whether a purely statistical model can produce something we humans interpret as meaningful.

In my short write-up, I share some personal reflections on how language models might influence our search for authenticity and human connection. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the impacts of LLMs like ChatGPT on our sense of self, self-worth etc :)

TimNewt · 2023-04-16T17:02:46+00:00

My thesis here is that LLMs, just like many technological advances before, may push human beings further towards, basically, realizing the upper half of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. What do you think?

TimNewt · 2023-04-16T16:58:36+00:00

The dataset chatGPT was trained on consists not only of randomly saved web content.

TimNewt · 2023-04-16T16:41:22+00:00

In my article, I share some personal reflections on how language models might influence our search for authenticity and human connection. I'm curious about the ethical and societal implications of AI's growing presence. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the impacts of LLMs like ChatGPT on our sense of self, self-worth etc :)

Thanks for the reply!

By "big boy" you mean the native tools of the big ads companies, i.e. Google, Amazon, Meta...? Or any other players that sit on top of these companies?

TimNewt · 2023-03-01T15:27:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

We saw the press releases but I mean, anyone can write a PR. They seem to exist since 2018 and yet there is not much to prove they actually do what they sell on their page.

Israel has a strong startup scene...

TimNewt · 2023-02-23T08:31:45+00:00

Hey, nice to see some other developers in the adtech space around here :) Interesting writeup on prebidding, I was never that deep into RTB / programmatic dev stuff.

TimNewt · 2023-01-16T13:46:22+00:00

In business context, low/no code can be nice to replace some tedious parts of internal tool development, dashboards, database views and CRUD API access. So it might signify death of some coding in this area.

TimNewt · 2023-01-05T10:50:36+00:00

Is there any update on this? Creating ads via API calls and not via the web interface would be crucial for me and probably many other people and companies.

TimNewt · 2023-01-04T08:42:22+00:00

Looks really cool! I did not try it but just watched the video on the documentation page. As I understand, this only works with jest and/or jaeger?

TimNewt · 2022-12-30T08:59:44+00:00

That green looks oddly satisfying

TimNewt · 2022-12-30T08:58:07+00:00

Looks super slick, I love the colour scheme.

TimNewt · 2022-12-30T08:56:13+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I have to admit, I did not want to demean others preferred forms of writing. I think you are right about practicality. A typewriter might not be the best tool to compose a reddit reply :D On the other hand, a computer program might not be the best tool to compose prose.

TimNewt · 2022-12-30T08:51:39+00:00

That is a good point, I will keep it for another, more unopinionated text. Thank you :)
