Ask HN: What hard to find expensive datasets would you pay for if it were cheap?

Fri, 11/01/2024 - 6:07am

Hi HN,

I'm building an insurance / fintech app but just realised that the cost for high quality premium datasets are really expensive.

I believe it should be brought down close to $0 and it should be usage based (if not, monthly but extremely cheap).

What really hard to find and expensive datasets should be drastically cheaper that one would pay for?

I'm on the look out for this for my insurance / fintech app.

Another thing, I really want to avoid those "Contact Sales" types, since I cannot evaluate the quality of the dataset myself.

Thanks you!

Ask HN: Favourite Prompts for Adding Personality to Assistants

Fri, 11/01/2024 - 5:46am

I'm working on making a conversational AI assistant feel more engaging and personable, and I'd love to know what kind of prompts you use (or have seen used) to add personality, character, or warmth to virtual assistants.

Whether it’s for fun or practical use cases, I’m looking for creative ideas that make an AI more relatable, like specific phrases, unique speaking styles, or interesting backstories.

Ask HN: Who else is annoyed of "await"?

Fri, 11/01/2024 - 5:35am

Why do we need to put await in front of async calls? I hate it. In other languages like python you don't have to. Why can be await not be the default so I don't have to write it and specify asynchron when I need it?
