Still waiting for the Annual 2024 Prediction thread to show up. I think csomar used to does it every year [1] so i dont want to start one and steal his tradition.
@Dang. Since we already have an official monthly Who is Hiring thread why dont we have an official yearly prediction thread as well?

A yearly prediction thread might be fun, it'll be cool to look back on it and see if anyone was right about major events. Personally I'm hoping that in 2024 we'll achieve AGI and have a robust definition of what that means. Maybe I'm just a little bit too ambitious though. I was hoping that we'd get there in 2023 but progress seems to have stalled more than I had expected.

#216Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm fairly confident that yes, this will be the year of the Linux desktop: 2024 = 20 | 24 20 x 3 + 16 = 76, which is the ASCII value of 'L'. 24 x 3 + 12 = 84, which is the ASCII value of 'T'. = LT = Linux Torvalds
It's fun I know. I want to know why you multiplied them with 3 and then added by 16 & 12 respectively. Any relation
I assume its because using 16 & 15 hasn't worked since 2023, and likewise only 16 & 9 will work for 2025

#217HN has literally changed my life — it was the who’s hiring a few years back that got me my first startup job here in Germany and the rest is history. I do spend too much time here but I tend to learn a lot.
Changed my life as well. Accelerated my assimilation of good software principles, management theory, business strategy, and salary negotiation. Accelerated my career by like 40%. And lots of entertainment along the way. Thanks HN!

#219Hey Everyone,
Wishing a Happy New Year to your team, family, and you. Best of luck to 2024; I'm sure it will be way better than 2023.

#220I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!
I think sometimes you have to realize that it's OKAY if you're always the one to keep in touch, and no one else seems to make any effort. As long as they're happy to talk when you call, or they show up at the group event when you badger them enough: that's fine. Some people are just not initiators, and it's either you make the effort, or you lose touch with them. You can't insist on reciprocity.
