What is this "Facebook"?

by chairmansteve 6mo ago

"how do you build new habits into a team that is already at capacity?". You probably need to take time out for training (and experimentation). Maybe assign one person to explore AI for 2 weeks?

Yes. The correct answer is to ask an SQL expert to write the query. An LLM will make the expert much faster at writing the script, maybe.

There were a couple of threads on HN this week. "Do you have any unusual hobbies" and "How do you relax". I enjoyed them and was thinking of contributing. Then it occurred to me that my comments would be gold for targeti

You have a strongly held opinion but you don't know anything about the subject. Compost material can be easily acquired for free. Grass clippings. Wood chips from tree surgeons. They will literally drop it off on your site for free. Th

"predators aren't consuming the prey for sustenance". You don't know that....

They know exactly what their services are worth to their users: $0.00. Because the users won't pay a penny for them.

But it doesn't scale...

What is HN?
75.
by chairmansteve 7mo ago
My social media consists of HN, Mastodon and RSS... I am quite content.

"None of the big tech companies know what their services are actually worth to their users". The users are the product. They sell their attention to the advertisers. And they know exactly how much that attention is worth, because

Every youtuber eventually becomes a parody of themselves.

You are right. In the dark forest, the predators must eventually die out, because they can't find prey.

"As millennia go by, species can obviously only evolve technologically, while remaining psychologically, philosophically, and spiritually stuck". Interrsting take, and possibly (probably?) true of humans. But is it true of other (

"Trying to start a no dig garden in some heavily compacted, organic-poor, heavy clay soil is going to lead to extreme disappointment". For sure. In Dowdings method you put a quite thick layer of compost on top of the existing soil

Other inputs might be direct statements from leaders involved in the conflict, especially Trump. Also maybe bond market and oil market price movements? Then you would want to generate an alert when you an actionable prediction. You don&#x27

So someone monitoring Polymarket could have reached the same conclusion? But Soros can process many more inputs than a human analyst? Polymarket seems like a very good input, because of the probable insider trading. What other inputs do you

Ok, do you have any interesting, unusual insights generated by Soros?

There was a bubble when all the new streaming services started making content, now there's a bust. Attendance drops at movie theatres is irrelevant. Most people have watched movies and tv shows at home for years. Hollywood will be fine

eval() used to be evil.... Are people using eval() in production code?

by chairmansteve 7mo ago
Yes, arguably imports are more important than exports... It's about what you have rather than what you have sold to others...
