From my perspective the issue is analytics support. You’ll need a step that turns it into something supported by BI tools. Obviously if something like Trino picks up the format it’…

On a backpacking trip, a guy and I were hiking together for a moment. I was snapping photos of the landscape and he started to chastise me for it. He made the same point. It’s abou…

This is part of what I feel keeps driving AI/LLMs. The hope that there’s a new frontier to cash in on.

I’ll typically use the defaults initially and then use a Modelfile if it’s something I plan on using. I think you can dump the modelfile ollama uses to have a template to work with…

Solid advice. Too many people think build it and sell it. When if you did a few interviews and market research you’d realize it might be a flop.

Start ups that choose things like Azure are a red flag for me. Churn is really problematic. Learning a code base by having to poke and grok takes a lot longer than being able to fi…

Very accurate description. I think this gets missed sometimes. Sometimes you’re criticizing because you know a subject well and want to see it improved.

Maybe it’s because I started with hydroponics. I don’t get the fascination with soil or animosity about hydroponics being unnatural. People do vastly underestimate what it takes to…

I want to say it was a buoy. I might be wrong on that. I distinctly remember one of those plastic flamingos. If you’re asking about my event idea. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up d…

USPS will mail all sorts of things. WIRED would let you mail them tons of interesting things. Working remotely I thought it would be hilarious to have everyone try and mail each ot…

I’ve seen papers that show they can do math. There was one recent-ish one HN that showed an understanding of addition. I’m not convinced myself. At least the open weight models don…

Likewise been going to synagogue. I would hardly call myself a religious person. Far more a nihilist who thinks we should try and do good if it is truly all pointless. I think the …

I agree. I’m sure there’s limitations, but svg feels more like a wysiwyg for web design than css

For anyone vibe checking the results: https://novelchallenge.github.io/ At best you’re looking at 60% or so accuracy

I personally like cooperatives too. I’ve always wondered if instead of a tech union a cooperative might be a better fit. No solution is perfect, though. Lots of people want to make…

This is called the hamster wheel and destroys trust rather than builds it, ime. Maybe it communicates trust to the org? The people within the team will question the motives. One pi…

Nice to see some experiments with languages. I really like the way it looks. With all the AI focus on coding, it feels like we're going to end up sticking with a few languages beca…

Any examples you mind sharing? I’m largely convinced it’s due to the founder’s networks and access to capital when you see broken ideas succeed.

Survivorship bias at its finest. For as many people have been lived before ourselves there’s only a handful that get remembered on any scale.

I think the unique perspective part is something I’m understanding. It’s easy to read or see other people’s work and think you don’t have anything to add

It looks like a great overview of recommendation systems. I think my main takeaways are: 1. Latency is a major issue. 2. Fine tuning can lead to major improvements and I think redu…

Nice work! I guess my only thought would be if you’re trying to turn this into a product, is this basically a client server rdbms. What advantages does using embedded dbs in this w…

Nice they’re expanding it to include more people. When I was looking at applying to colleges one of the major themes I saw about going to ivy schools is culture differences. You’re…

I like this about quarto. You can create a standalone html file and share with people.

Thanks! I had no idea. I have an issue with a large gap on mobile I should dig into. Maybe this will help me figure out how to fix it. Also just a neat fact to know regardless
