Show HN: The SaaS Prince

https://thesaasprince.com/

I spent my 42nd birthday generating 100% pure AI slop.I adapted Machiavelli The Prince to the Silicon Valley context, using Sonnet. It took a 6-hour+ non-strop spree to write a 81 pages, and it's kind of an instructive read!Rather than making any line edits, I was able to share high level feedback over the first few chapters and keep regenerating. This process was awesome - I could be extremely...

I’m not in the same place, but I do find it still surprising at age 40 you can flail around randomly in a city and discover entirely new areas of life that fully captivate your interest. The other day someone invited me to join a math club and now it’s my favorite part of my week. I hadn’t thought about math since I was 15. but that’s example one of dozens. not that anyone’s asking, but I think if anyone isn’t feeling satisfied they can easily try very random things and find some satisfaction and that’s what I would recommend

Compare to Twitter which has reduced the differentiation between a long form article and an unsourced image and you’ll find that Google News is nevertheless much superior to any other way to get information (though twitter was superior last year!)
Re:Google cuts dozens of jobs in news division on Saturday October 21, 2023 @12:05PM (#37967966)
Hah, I actually finally started using Google News after 10 years because it looks like Twitter 2023 is effectively completely broken for news. I was grateful that at least we could revert to 10 years ago, now our current best mechanism of finding truth

Re:Mastodon Is the Good One on Friday October 20, 2023 @03:08PM (#37960165)
Mastodon is hard to use. Just compare it to Threads, it’s not subjective that way. I think that’s the whole answer.

I helped create this using https://www.epsilla.com/ which is an incredibly good vector search tool. Our long covid guidance got 10x better when we switched to it!

Got a web version here, check it out and let us know if it’s helpful to you: https://wellnessxyz.com

It is not a very well done feature. It is among the most deterministic pieces of software I have ever used. Tella.tv and Screen Studio are well done pieces of software, but not Loom

Grass is greener. I don’t read very much because I prefer learning through trial and error when doing because I’m certain most ideas on the internet are wrong anyway (especially regarding programming). This is a limitation, and a middle ground approach is probably actually optimal. Which maybe I do because I still read extremely highly recommended things referred by people I know
