Ask HN: How to price your AI Products?

Hacker News - 7 hours 53 min ago

I'm developing an AI-powered product for consumers and grappling with pricing. The variable costs, including training and API calls, make traditional pricing models challenging. I'm curious about others' experiences with pricing AI products. What strategies have worked? What pitfalls should I avoid?

From a customer's perspective, what pricing model would you consider fair for an AI product?

Balancing AI Innovation with Responsible Development – Your Approach?

Hacker News - 7 hours 56 min ago

As AI rapidly evolves, I'm grappling with the challenge of balancing innovation and responsible development. I'd love to hear from the HN community about your experiences and guidelines.

In my work, I've been trying to adhere to principles like transparency, fairness, privacy, and accountability. However, these often conflict with rapid innovation and development. For instance, achieving fairness and ensuring airtight privacy protection might slow development, while transparency could reveal competitive advantages.

Questions I'm wrestling with:

- How do you manage the trade-off between innovation speed and ethical considerations? - What specific guidelines or frameworks do you follow? - How do you handle situations where ethics might impact business goals? - What tools or processes have you found effective for ethical AI development? - How do you stay updated on evolving ethical standards in AI?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from those working on cutting-edge AI projects. How do you navigate uncharted ethical territories? Any cautionary tales or success stories to share?

Thanks in advance to whoever participates in the discussion here. Your insights could help shape more responsible AI development practices across the industry.

Ask HN: Resources for SQL database schema design/performance?

Hacker News - 8 hours 41 min ago

I have a solid understanding of the basics of relational DB performance (Indexing, different types of scans etc...) but I always seem to run into situations where I have complex and slow SQL queries and I'm not sure how to optimize them. I've often heard the rule of thumb that any user-facing query that takes longer than 100ms is too slow but I've never seen that play out in my experience with many complex application queries taking a handful of seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions for required reading related to performant data architecture?

I've gotten better at reading "Explain Analyze" output but I have trouble coming up with actionable changes to make based on the query plan.

Do you have any suggestions on RSS readers?

Hacker News - 8 hours 50 min ago

I've been trying to find a good one, but many of the features I want are not written down somewhere. In roughly decreasing order of priority, I'd like something: * That doesn't automatically delete the items in your feed, either because you have too many or because it's been too long. Alternately, it could be set ridiculously high (by quick estimates, if it can handle 1 million items, that's enough to deal with 250 new items, every single day, for 10 years, so I'd say that would be high enough, and quite frankly, if I run up against that limit, I can probably delete some). * Free, but that seems fairly incompatible with the first thing. Self-hosted, possibly? * That has some relatively easy way of bypassing paywalls. * That allows for manual tags (not just folders, because things can generally only go in one folder) of either feeds or articles. * That seems relatively stable (not as big of an issue since it's fairly easy to migrate, but it would still be nice).

Do you have any suggestions?
