4 by imadj | 1 comments on Hacker News.
While browsing Hacker News, I wished for an easier way to find related submissions (instead of googling and going back and forth). So I made this small chrome extension that automatically shows relevant submissions on page load. It's intergrated as a sidebar right in the page (for ease & native look), with customization options for fine control. It's based on HN algolia search API[1] and uses the submission title as its initial query with the ability to customize the query if you're not satisfied with the initial results. Originally, I took it as an opportunity to try my hands at creating a browser extension, but I was quite satisfied with the result and so I decided to release it.

Tell HN: OpenAI's billing features and customer support are barely functional
23 by theden | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Thought I'd give a small warning to people thinking of paying for ChatGPT Plus. You're forced to use an intercom chat widget to open up customer support tickets, but the response times are abysmal. Currently I have this[1] issue, where an account doesn't get upgraded after going through the payment flow. It's been over a week with no reply. I paid money for a service that I'm not receiving. When/if they do respond, I have no idea if they'll reimburse the days I paid for nothing, who knows, there's no comms about it on their page. Note that it's a known problem, given they have a dedicated page for it on their help docs, and there's a massive thread[2] about it on their forums. Their refund policy[3] goes through the same chat flow, so one could end up paying for two months before they're finally issued a refund. I know they're scaling up, but I'm shocked at how bad this is, especially given they're using stripe for payments. Normally, even when in a move-fast type environment, billing logic/flow is one thing you have to get right before shipping a product to prod. They're breaking all sorts of consumer rights (especially here in Australia where they are strong). Between broken billing and their recent IAM issues, right now I'd jump at a competitor that can deliver these. 1. https://ift.tt/JY0E7gb 2. https://ift.tt/8kcayBf 3. https://ift.tt/sy1D9QV

Show HN: Oblivus GPU Cloud – Affordable and scalable GPU servers from $0.29/hr
25 by oblivuslimited | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Greetings HN! This is Doruk from Oblivus, and I'm excited to announce the launch of our platform, Oblivus Cloud. After more than a year of beta testing, we're excited to offer you a platform where you can deploy affordable and scalable GPU virtual machines in as little as 30 seconds! https://ift.tt/OLWIDSM - What sets Oblivus Cloud apart? At the start of our journey, we had two primary goals in mind: to democratize High-Performance Computing and make it as straightforward as possible. We understand that maintaining GPU servers through major cloud service providers can be expensive, with hidden fees adding to the burden of running and maintaining servers. Additionally, the cloud can sometimes be overly complex for individuals who don't have much knowledge but still require powerful computing resources. That's why we decided to create a platform that offers affordable pricing, easy usability, and high-quality performance. - Features 1. Fully customizable infrastructure that lets you switch between CPU and GPU configurations to suit your needs. 2. Transparent and affordable per-minute-based Pay-As-You-Go pricing with no hidden fees. Plus, free data ingress and egress. (Pricing: https://ift.tt/RmXEFSC ) 3. Optimized cost with storage and IP address-only billing when the virtual machine is shut down. 4. Each virtual machine comes with 10Gbps to 40Gbps public network connectivity. 5. NVMe ($0.00011/GB/hr) and HDD ($0.00006/GB/hr) storage that is 3x replicated to fulfill your storage needs. 6. Choose from a variety of cutting-edge CPUs and 10 state-of-the-art GPU SKUs. (Availability: https://ift.tt/EkIPHDK ) 7. OblivusAI OS images come with pre-installed ML libraries, so you can start training your models right away without the hassle of installing and configuring the necessary libraries. 8. If you're working with a team, utilize our organization feature to simplify the billing process. Everyone in your organization uses the same billing profile, so you don't need to keep track of multiple accounts. 9. No quotas or complex verification processes. Whether you represent a company, an institution, or you're a researcher, you have full access to our infrastructure without any limitations. 10. Easy-to-use API with detailed documentation so that you can integrate your code with ours. - Pricing At Oblivus Cloud, we provide pricing that is affordable, transparent, and up to 80% cheaper than major cloud service providers. Here is a breakdown of our pricing: 1. CPU-based virtual machines starting from just $0.019/hour. 2. NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000s starting from $0.27/hour. 3. Tesla V100s starting from $0.51/hour. 4. NVIDIA A40s and RTX A6000s starting from $1.41/hour. We also offer 6 other GPU SKUs to help you accurately size your workloads and only pay for what you need. Say goodbye to hidden fees and unpredictable costs. If you represent a company, be sure to register for a business account to access even better pricing rates. - Promo Code Join us in celebrating the launch of Oblivus Cloud by claiming your $1 free credit! This may sound small, but it's enough to get started with us and experience the power of our platform. With $1, you can get over 3 hours of computing on our most affordable GPU-based configuration, or over 50 hours of computing on our cheapest CPU-based configuration. To redeem this free credit, simply use the code HN_1 on the 'Add Balance' page after registration. Register now at https://ift.tt/iqlPrO2 - Quick Links Website: https://oblivus.com/ Console: https://ift.tt/r1EZA9Q Company Documentation: https://ift.tt/tSTBEwj API Documentation: https://ift.tt/mjfQ68d If you have any questions, feel free to post them below and I'll be happy to assist you. You can also directly email me at doruk@oblivus.com!
