New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain

Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain
25 by qerim | 13 comments on Hacker News.
The ISP in my hometown (Albania + Kosovo) has decided to block my whole domain to my free legal streaming website because they also happen to offer IPTV services. I only found out after trying to access my site from Albania today, it just comes up with a “bad URL” request. The streams I serve on my site are public freely available TV channels, combined into a single page. Since EU laws do not apply to neither of these countries, is there any course of action I can take to prevent this sort of monopoly going on?

Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts
19 by rileyt | 2 comments on Hacker News.
This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3. It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response. It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer. More examples and explanations here: https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067

Ask HN: What type of lawyer can review consultant agreements?
14 by codealot | 9 comments on Hacker News.
I have an opportunity to take on my first ever contract as a consultant, building software for an existing small SaaS company. What type of law or lawyer should I google for in order to have them review the legal documents I'm being asked to sign around non-disclosure and etc to make sure I'm not signing anything which could hurt my own IP in the future? This is all in California by the way.
