I am Shayan Ali a graphic designer and in near future I am going to be an agency owner. I am launching a productize service agency named LoopyDesign. I've seen a problem in the market and there is gap that I want to bridge with my design skills.The problem: The problem is business have design teams and in-house designer to do all the design work for them but, these people charge a lot.

The turnaround time is not close to what I will have in LoopyDesign and, the chances of hiring a good designer who knows the craft well are very low too.The Solution: The solution is that I am going to build a design agency that replaces these expensive designer for one flat monthly fees which will be lower than their salaries, you can get as many design as you want in a month and you only have to pay once. Each design request will be fulOct 4, 2023 7:35 AM

Show HN: Launching a new home-grown embedding LLM for RAGhttps://vectara.com/how-boomerang-takes-retrieval-augmented-generation-to-the-next-level-via-grounded-generation/Hi HN!Vectara is a "batteries included" retrieval augmented generation platform. You can upload your rich text documents like PDFs, HTML pages, word docs, etc, or semi-structured JSON and Vectara handles the text and metadata extraction, segmentation, vector embedding, and vector storage, and keyword storage.

The Race for More Space: The flawed logic behind making space a 17th Critical Infrastructurehttps://spacenews.com/the-race-for-more-space/A bipartisan group of lawmakers recently introduced the Space Infrastructure Act, which pursues a recommendation made by the Cyberspace Solarium Commission 2.0 to designate space as the 17th U.S. critical infrastructure sector. While it’s encouraging to see Congress considering this issue seriously, designating space as a critical infrastructure sector puts form over substance and would not actually address the risk posed by adversaries like China and Russia or from natural phenomena such as space weather.Sep 26, 2023 4:21 PM

Ask HN: What do you think about a CEO providing human name to his business?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37566574As I may get a CEO assistant job at a company dealing with lab equipment and reagents more aligned with my main science interests [1], I googled that company and found that its CEO seems to have a few other similar pharmaceutical companies. But one of them is named with a female human name.I think that business entities are a bit more abstract to bear the labels used for human bodies and it sounds strange for me. I would never buy anything from a company with any human name. This CEO is a PhD and his dissertation is aligned with my main interests, but I do not want to get into another type of bs with this CEO assistant job.What do you think about a CEO providing a female human name to one of his businesses?[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37560705Sep 19, 2023 7:10 AM
