If some lonely dudes can't find a girlfriend, so they talk to a chatbot instead, why is that bad?
I would like to create an online study group of anonymous strangers on the internet who are interested in learning about the recent developments in AI.The issue with these kinds of study groups is that a lot of people sign up and everyone ends up quitting 2 weeks in.Has anyone been able to successfully sustain an online study group (on discord/slack/whatever)?If so, how have you done it and...
They literally just built a VR headset... do you seriously not think the Apple Vision Pro is a VR headset?
Also, looking at the functionality it had when it first came out, it wouldn't have really been very useful for me (no app store, basically just an iPod + shitty browser + phone).
Anyway, does anyone actually think that VR isn't going to revolutionize computing over the next 10 years?
I use the Immersed app and I'm able to code for 3-4 hours a day with the headset.
The last thing anyone cares about is the opinion of some journalist at Reuters.
(and I say this as someone who doesn't like Musk)
It would be awesome if you could also add GPT-4 as a kind of helpful tutor. Not sure if you're already experimenting with that.
> Our spaced repetition model not only accounts for implicit "trickle-down" repetitions but also minimizes the number of reviews by choosing reviews whose implicit repetitions "knock out" other due reviews (like dominos), and calibrates the speed of the spaced repetition process to each individual student on each individual topic (student ability and topic difficulty are competing factors).
That's super interesting and definitely one of the issues I faced while building anki cards for math classes I took in undergrad. Thanks again!
1. How exactly is AI being used here? Is there an AI chat-bot that I can ask for help? Do you generate problem-sets with AI? Check answers with AI? Is it GPT-4?
2. Do you utilize Spaced-Repetition in any way? Have you found that to be useful?
Thank you
I definitely agree with this but don't have too many issues with them installing the Journal app to be honest. I actually like the app personally, but totally agree with your sentiment.
If you're a founder of a venture backed company, one of your main jobs is to build a pipeline of investors and constantly be planning for the next round of funding (that takes a significant amount of energy away from building the company).
With this strategy, you raise one round, then you go back to being similar to a bootstrapped founder where your only focus is to make the business sustainable and you're not spending mind-share trying to raise more money.
So it is a different way of building.
Not sure why you're being condescending when you're totally uninformed & wrong lol.
> The fertile soil is a result of a long process of bringing organic material and ash and depositing it on the field. Exactly the opposite of what we are doing today
2 minutes of research would tell you that the Terra Preta soil consists of - tiny, broken pottery shards - weathered charcoal - bones/compost/manure
> It is very easy to see how this developed. They probably have noticed that if they keep throwing their leftovers or feces in a particular area, everything starts growing better there. The same if you throw out ash. Which they had lots of beacuse they were burning a lot of wood every day, living in the rainforest and not facing energy price hikes. If you have a village and you hunt and gather every day, if you constantly keep burning wood fire and spread it all around your village for thousands of years -- guess what -- whether you planned it or not you will create those fields because I bet nobody would be trucking the garbage far from the village.
The fact that you keep referring to them as hunter-gatherers when they've clearly developed an advanced fertilizer is hilariously absurd.
They were clearly advanced at farming.
You should be far,far more afraid of that since government spends more than a trillion every year.
So yeah, doesn't really make much sense.
The same geniuses who got us into Iraq.
Btw, Dan Price is a virtue signaling psycopath.
Some pretty scary stories about how he raped a woman.
Well, a scary % of the DEI professionals I've come across also self-identify as communists, so not sure if they view that as a bad association.
Sorry where do you see that? I only see "higher usage limits"?
I've also done some paid ads using Facebook ads and doing ads in other newsletters.
I sell sponsorships to tech companies (ex. PostHog, InfluxData, Hubspot) + have a premium version of the newsletter that is $12 a month.
Basically, I look through all the Big Tech engineering blog posts and look for interesting posts. Then I'll write up an article talking about the tech stack and the main takeaways.
I've been learning Adobe Illustrator + After Effects recently and am now starting to add some visualizations + graphics to accompany the articles.
I make more than $500 per month but this is more of a passion project and the income is honestly not competitive (at all) with what I earn as a dev.
It also gives me a way to learn about marketing/growth + monetization. Hard to learn that stuff w/o doing.
There's been several outlets that have dived into the difference between the chinese version of TikTok and the western versions.
Also, they can affect public sentiment with slight nudges and those would be completely undetectable.
Several media outlets did a dive on the connections the CCP has into TikTok.
Their security auditors implied that they have backdoors.
You think banning propaganda machines from other countries makes you more susceptible to propaganda?
Yes, any neutral observer can see that it's idiotic to let a company with strong connections to our largest geopolitical rival have control over 1-2 hours of attention (every day) of young people in the US.
Hey,I posted a few months ago with a HN post on strategies to be more eloquent. The post seemed to be well-received, hence this follow up.I'm wondering if there currently exists a HN toastmasters-type group for people to meet on zoom and practice public speaking? Would really love to join if one already exists.If it doesn't exist, is there any appetite to start one?
So, the entire amount of VC dollars that went into Waymo is ~$5.5 billion dollars.
If you look at the entire self-driving market, it's probably less than $12 billion in total.
San Francisco's yearly budget, is $15 billion dollars. The Federal Gov spends 50 billion dollars per year on maintaining federal highways.
So yeah, you didn't have an epiphany. You just couldn't be bothered to spend 20 seconds thinking about the math.
