Re:Ask HN: Resources to get better at outbound sales?
on Sunday December 28, 2025 @01:12PM (#46413118)
As a newbie in the world of entrepreneurship, I tried outbound sales for 3 months with my first venture. Was never worth the effort. In my opinion, it is extremely difficult to sell to people who aren't looking for the stuff or are interested in the stuff you are selling.

Have you tried handing it over some test money on a trading platform to see the results? What prediction algorithm is it using?

I agree with you about writing. Back in 2020, I made a commitment to study a CS or math topic in detail each week and then write an essay about it. Those were some of my best learning experiences and when I look back at those essays, they are pure gold.

You could create a browser extension that normal users could install such would warn them of a phishing site or email from that domain. It would be 0 cost since you already have the data.

I know 4 languages. 3 of those I learnt because of my family. I learnt Russian because of work (+fun). I feel that it is always best to go the classic route and learn a language from a manual (currently learning mandarin from a manual) and that gamified experiences of learning languages have a very low learning/effort ratio.

Stuff like the MicroPC excites me. Even though, logically, you hardly need need a micro pc but the hacky excitement of using it is worth it. I have also been looking at purchasing the MNT research pocket laptop.

I ask claude to dump the plan into a file and ensure that the tasks have been split into subtasks such that the description of each subtask meets the threshold such that the probability of the LLM misinterpreting is very low.

I’ve felt that the LLM forgets CLAUDE.md after 4-5 messages. Then, why not reinject CLAUDE.md into the context at the fifth message?
Re:The Coming Need for Formal Specification
on Saturday December 13, 2025 @11:11AM (#46255587)
I agree, writing and maintaining specifications can be cumbersome. But I've felt that learning how to write formal specifications to keep the code in check has made me a better programmer and system architect in general, even when I do not use the formal spec tooling.
Re:50 years of proof assistants
on Saturday December 13, 2025 @10:58AM (#46255479)
I recently started reading "Specifying Systems: The TLA+ Language and Tools for Hardware and Software En" by Lawrence Lamport[0]. It is a good starting point for learning how to specify systems on the basis of mathematical proofs.
Since the new code is specifications in the age of AI, learning how to specify systems mathematically is a huge advantage because English is extremely ambiguous.

This is funny as well as amazing haha. This makes me wonder whether mathematics can prove the real truth or not since it does not take spirituality, conciousness and metaphysics (things we dont yet fully understand) into account.

How long can the exchanges scale their sequencer systems (which are sequential) vertically? The trading volume is only rising with time at a higher rate than the advancement of low latency tech.

Re:Size of Life

It makes me emotional when I think about where life started and what it evolved into. Life created so many different types of organisms, each having different features while maintaining the equilibrium of the planet. From bacteria, to massive dinosaurs, to tiny homosapiens who inevitably control the largest organisms.
