there's an avalanche of money waiting for more competition to Stripe

i've seen too many businesses destroyed by sudden "your account is closed" with no human contact


There's an avalanche of money waiting for more competition to Nvidia too....

The problem is, many folks have absolutely no comprehension of how difficult it is to build a payment processor that can serve lots of customers they don't personally know. The fraud is just insane. The regulation is insane. The card network rules are insane.


If it's as difficult as they say it is, how did Stripe do it?


They worked at it for a long time before launch, started with a very narrow product and only had customers they actually knew (reduces fraud a lot), worked like crazy, operated in a market where the competition was abysmal.


anyone hosting? want to try it


seems you're using both open & closed source models

i just tried it out. solid, but doesn't seem as uncensored or capable as e.g. https://uncensored.com/ai

btw: do u know whether c.ai actually parses tone/emotion from voice (or just from the SpeechToText stream?


i'd reach out to https://uncensored.com for api access

smartest/most human uncensored ai i've used. i think the api is live now


This is my most used app right now.

How the f did you make this? And it's so fast


It knows when to send me video vs image vs urls.. and they're completely uncensored


What are the top items a solo software founder (of a treaty country) seeking e-2 might not have in their application/background or want in the outcome of an e-2?


E-2s for founders are generally easy as long as there's the qualifying investment and a good business plan. Sometimes founders of very new backgrounds with limited experience run into issues but even this is rare.


Solid sample. Let's see the list!


I'd like to do more of this. but every time i use typescript in react/nextjs i end up hitting breakpoints in transpiled js code instead of the TS source, esp. in my tests/running single-files.. and i've tried so many debug configurations


great way to put it.

>Shallow?

too many deep inheritance typescript libraries being built today I find!


Waterloo grads #1 code quality of any school I've worked with (incl stanford & mit). This makes it clearer why that is.

I find it tricky keeping 'data-1st' code my frontend (which is eating more & more of backend as the years pass)
