Nothing on hiring thread as well.

I have been working with react, next.js , react native and node.js from last 4 years and more. I wanna to join an early-stage startup, contribute closely to the product, and learn more about a startup.

Whenever I find an interesting startup, I usually reach out through email or Discord. Most of the time, they are either not hiring, do not have the budget, or do not reply. I have also tried approaching founders with specific suggestions about how I could improve or help build their website or product but no luck.

I have the flexibility to take some risk so idm working on contract, freelance type. I just wanna have try something like this.

Do you have any suggestions?","time":1784914749,"title":"Ask HN: How do I find startups that are looking for a dev?

I was thinking about this... I've built our family's financial system (it started as a simple budgeting tool, but now it tracks everything), a Mac app to create and edit videos, quite a few developer tools for personal use, a bunch of apps for my kids, some games, and so forth.

All of these already have plenty of commercial offerings in the market, and some have open-source alternatives, but the level of personalization I get by building them myself beats any argument (IMHO)!

Interested to see what others are doing. :)

It's not clear whether they mean authorities for their US HQ or the French authorities.

But I can't find any announcement of the follow-up. Is there a case open against OpenAI the company? Is their management interviewed by the authorities? Anyone detained yet?

I guess the people who left the model running unattended risk at least a suspended sentence here in France.

Where are concerned citizens making inquiries on this matter and reporting in their viral blogposts?","time":1784804817,"title":"Ask HN: If OpenAI hacked HuggingFace, why aren't OpenAI prosecuted?","type":"story"}]]
