Author here. I think LLMs make for a really interesting opportunity for getting voters details of candidates' platforms that are relevant to them specifically.
Right now, campaigns strike me as very much a push model (especially at the federal level), where candidates and news media are putting out information they think will be relevant and resonate, and voters need to drink from something of a firehose if they have more specific questions, or care about issues that are less hot-button.
Of course, there are in-person events where voters can ask questions important to them, but that only covers a small fraction of voters, and doesn't generally support detailed question & answer. Volunteers are another key touchpoint, but most of them will only be so informed about detailed plans.
With LLMs, I think it's very imaginable for a campaign to allow digital question / answer so engaged voters can get more specific questions answered, while sticking to desired messaging. Using an LLM to provide _human volunteers_ better information when they speak to voters is another interesting opportunity for more effective messaging.
Their version of push-to-talk is useless since, like you mentioned, you have to keep Zoom in focus. I don't know about you, but I never had Zoom in focus when I used it. I was always multi-tasking.
> Though tbf, Zoom has to be in focus in order for that to work.
Is it possible this is an OS limitation? It wouldn't surprise me if macOS, for instance, had privacy restrictions on apps capturing the keyboard when they're out of focus. No idea if that's the case, just wondering.
If you’re on windows you can use AutoHotKey to map a key or key combination of your choice to route to the spacebar in zoom, regardless of focus. I’ve done something similar for media control for apps that don’t have global hotkeys.
One wonders what they're doing with all those profits then. Seems like they would either reinvest in the company (accumulating assets), put it in the bank (fairly literally accumulating assets), or pay it out to shareholders (perhaps the most straightforward way in which stocks are worth money).
TetraScience is a Boston-based SaaS company and rapidly growing startup applying an IoT playbook to lab research. We build hardware and software that allow research organizations to connect their existing lab instruments to a cloud infrastructure, in a sense, an online dashboard to coordinate experiments, monitor equipment parameters, and manage experimental data, as well as an integration layer between instruments and a customer's ELN or LIMS system-of-choice. In short, our goal at TetraScience is to use IoT to increase the efficiency of scientific research.
Our goal at TetraScience is to effect industry-wide change, and we have intentionally built a team of passionately curious engineers of diverse backgrounds who support science and value scientific advancement. You know the quote “The best minds of [our] generation are thinking about how to make people click ads”? We're a decent counterexample.
Overall, it's a fun, sharp team with a lot of potential upside working in a fairly interesting space (well, I like science anyway...). Plus, we're probably in the best location in the world to be doing what we're doing, and we're hiring experienced folks across the board. Join us!
I'm one of the senior engineers, and am incredibly bullish on our prospects conditioned on continuing to get the right talent as we grow, hit me up at jg.public@tetrascience.com if you're interested.
> I do not think that anyone's ability to write should disbar them from discussion.
And perhaps it shouldn't! It might, however, limit their ability to write at length about sensitive, culturally-deep issues at work without getting fired and having their career stained.
Similarly, perhaps one's ability to write code shouldn't disbar them from a hackathon, but if they write a bunch of hacky code for a quadcopter and it flies into the audience, well, then they're in a bit of a pickle indeed.
I used the following advanced sleuthing techniques (don't share outside HN):
1. I went to LinkedIn
2. I searched for "Silverlabs"
3. I found the page for their company
4. I clicked on the link labeled "14 employees and former employees have LinkedIn profiles"
5. I observed that all the engineering profiles were in Hyderabad.
I'm being a little snarky but also it's good to know how superficial this "research" was so it's not at all unlikely that I'm totally wrong about this.
