Does anyone have an alternative that behaves closer to Google Alerts, i.e. alerts for when a website or brand is mentioned on HN? Looking for something that's also realtime :)

Free for makers, 2000 validations per month. (We might increase the free tier limit, right now it's based on how many sockets we can connect to mail providers before our IP gets blocked)

This, except also relatively compared to reaction time thresholds/max latency for hci.

For example in predictive typing anything above ~100ms (don't remember the number but there's an exact measurement on the Gmail paper for smart compose) is noticeable and very annoying to a user.

Or video chat, I'd be curious to see the video latency required for a user to notice lag between audio & video.

I know in game dev, I was always taught that 60fps is fine, but then there are gamers swearing up and down when they drop below 140fps. Would be curious to see what the max allowed latency is here as well.

Another common one is the microexpressions latency which is frequently quoted as 1/20 of a second (max latency before an emotion detector starts to miss the microexpression).

I feel like these are the real goalposts in tech; especially in ML, we've got the accuracy/quality and now we need the speed. Every research paper likes to brag about how many ms it takes for one step, I'd like to see this compared to the maximum latency required for practical HCI.

I hope they add this to the Web Speech API in Chrome. It doesn't have punctuation right now and that's a killer for me.

I'm a little skeptical as to how accurate this is. It definitely looks like it operates at a better price point than Google's ridiculously expensive Translate API, but does it really offer a huge boost over say, OpenNMT? You can deploy OpenNMT at scale pretty cheaply using Amazon's own EC2 Load Balancer so I'm not sure...

Also do AWS credits apply to this? I and most startup founders I know have upwards of 30k$ in AWS credits usually sitting around so this would definitely go a long way as to integrating translation without running a pre-scale cost.

We were recommended Azlo by Stripe Atlas. I would not recommend them... it's a pain to switch to anything else, their support can't do anything except tell you to open a new account to change anything at all, and they have no method of editing anything or viewing docs or sending information. They're supposed to integrate perfectly with Stripe but they don't; not only can I not change the information in Stripe, but I have no way of changing the default user or address. It also has no international support which is a major pain as we frequently travel to different countries for long periods of time. I thought Natwest and UK banks were terrible with allowing international users to move money, but Azlo straight up doesn't support it.

According to their support the only way to change basically anything is to open an entirely new account. So we're currently tracking down and collecting documents all over again, except this time we have to spend a bunch on legal fees since we had Atlas to help us through the first time.

While I have qualms about the name since this is like the 20th Mint I've heard of now, I'm incredibly excited as to what this has to offer. The control over the underlying process is key to creating beautifully asynchronous applications, and it gives me a lot of node-got vibes in terms of how easy it is to use.

And thank god, HTTPS support built in... it never ceases to amaze me why some HTTP libs don't have TLS as a given.
