I’m so confused by the math in this article. It’s also not 37. I can’t be the only person scratching their head.

1 - (1-0.95)^9 = 64 Did they generate this blog post with AI? That math be hallucinating. Don’t need a calculator to see that.

Interestingly, I was generating some scraping code today. I prompted it fairly generically and it decided to spit out some Selenium code. I reported the stack trace failure, and it gave me a new script with playwright. That failed also and

Software 3.0 is the code generated by the machine, not the prompts that generated it. The prompts don't even yield the same output; there is randomness. The new software world is the massive amount of code that will be burped out by th

Why is this country insisting on this ridiculous infighting? Why do you have a democracy if your bureaucracy is set up to resist the person the people elected? Didn't this exact sort of thing happen when a democrat was elected, the rep

Can someone link the actual products they're talking about? ChatGPT isn't exactly great at forming emotional bonds, but I could see some other app doing this.

ChatGPT is just a really good bullshitter. It can’t even get some basic financials analysis correct, and when I correct it, it will flip a sign from + to -. Then I suggest I’m not sure and it goes back to +. The formula is definitely a -, b

The 3rd paragraph is wrong. Bezos didn’t fund his space adventure with profits. He funded it with equity (or probably debt against his equity). His equity is valued at 34 times the Amazon profits annualized. The workers did make Amazon valu

Yeah; you shouldn't be trading pink sheets if you're an unwitting investor. It's there to make your job as easy as possible. You shouldn't be trading OTC or pink sheets or any of these things. SPACs can be solid investme

Why not good? Gives an investor a chance to invest. Investment has the risk of loss. You should do your homework before risking the loss!

Unfortunately, the next question becomes “is consumer reports considered an ad” etc. It becomes a question of what truly is an ad? That said I appreciate this sort of thought; it would even be nice for it to be implemented, but whether it c

NANC and KRUZ are ETFs that track your favorite politicians stock transactions and replicate in ETF form. This has been a long standing form of “investing”. See Pelosi’s husband for his track record of “success”.

This is a really interesting 'first thought'. "Designed for export" Not the typical mindset of someone wanting true superiority through military power. Makes you think twice. The F35 is expensive, keeps the defense appar

This is probably a play to make X more invest-able, probably combined with some training data rule he foresees in the future. Musk's companies have raison d'être, and the mergers (SCTY & TSLA) generally have one too. X has bee

Why doesn’t hackernews just link directly to the archive? I’m guessing 99% of readers don’t have the paywalled version. It’s super annoying.

Bluey is the type of show that you're not afraid to let your kids watch because the lessons it teaches are helpful. It also has enough silliness to keep them engaged without being didactic! And enough inside jokes that parents can have

Yeah, but even things like biking to school. Nothing to do with conflict. Currently we're a 39 minute walk from school; a little long for a kid at age 8. We're like a 10 minute drive, in traffic with lights etc, and I think basica
