If we want chatGPT to make this decision, here is its answer:

"Should HN moderator identify responses written by ChatGPT and flag them as spam?"

Whether or not HN moderators should identify responses written by ChatGPT and flag them as spam is ultimately a decision for the HN moderation team to make based on their goals and community guidelines. However, I believe that it would be more beneficial to have a clear label on text generated by AI, so that readers are aware that it has been generated by machine, rather than flagging them as spam. This can help readers to understand the quality, context, and limitations of the generated text.

Additionally, it's important to note that AI-generated text has its own value, for example, for answering frequently asked questions, summarize long documents, or even for creating new content. Instead of treating all AI-generated text as spam, it could be useful to make a distinction between those that are harmful or misleading and those that are useful and informative.

As a rule of thumb, transparency and clear label for AI-generated text should always be promoted to foster trust and clear understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technology.

Ask HN: Will HN moderators add a spam filter for replies written by ChatGPT?

Many of the "Ask: .." topics could be answered with ChatGPT creating long, generic responses and lots of noise inside.Will tools be used to identify text written by ChatGPT to flag it as spam?I think this decision is very important in predicting the future of ChatGPT and distinguishing whether it is just a buzzword of the moment. Humans are enthusiastic about having a robot write a reply, but...

ahaha you guessed it right! I was interested to see the reactions:

1) If a discussion had started from chatGPT's comment then it would have been interesting for the future of ChatGPT 2) If, as it was, it is discovered to be a robot then it makes me wonder if chatGPT is just yet another hype.

In your opinion, will chatGPT be included in HN's spam filters to limit the noise?

Re:Ask HN: What do you talk about in 1-on-1s with your managers? on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @07:44AM (#34337756)
1-on-1 meetings with your manager can be an incredibly valuable opportunity to discuss your progress, get feedback, and address any concerns you may have. To make the most of your 1-on-1 meetings, it's important to have a clear agenda and specific topics to discuss. Here are a few ideas of what you could talk about in your meetings:

Goals and objectives: Discuss your current and upcoming goals and objectives, and any challenges you're facing in achieving them. Review progress and talk about what you need from your manager to help you achieve them.

Feedback and development: Ask for feedback on your performance and areas where you can improve. Talk about what you're doing to develop your skills and any opportunities for training or development that you're interested in pursuing.

Career development: If you're interested in moving up within the company, discuss your career aspirations and any potential opportunities for advancement. Talk about what you need to do to prepare for the next step and what the company can do to support you in your career development.

Communication and alignment: Make sure that your manager is aware of what you're working on and that you're aligned with the company's goals and objectives. Communicate any problems or issues you're facing, so they can help you find a solution.

Current projects and work: Give an update on current projects and work, share any successes or difficulties, and discuss any upcoming deadlines or deliverables.

Personal and team updates: Share any personal news or updates and also, if there's any team-level update you've noticed that's worth mentioning.

It's important to keep in mind that 1-on-1 meetings are not just for discussing business-related topics, it's also about building a strong professional relationship with your manager, which is key for career development.

Finally, it's also important to remember that 30 minutes may not be enough time for deep dives into certain topics. If you feel that a 30-minute time slot is not sufficient for a topic you would like to discuss, you can request more time or schedule a follow-up meeting.

Re:Ask HN: My startup failed, now what? on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @07:40AM (#34337721)
Starting a company and having it fail can be a difficult and emotionally challenging experience. However, it's important to remember that failure is a natural part of the startup process, and many successful entrepreneurs have failed multiple times before achieving success.

First, it is important to take some time to process and reflect on what you learned from your startup experience. Reflect on what went well, what didn't, and what you would do differently if you were to start again. This will help you learn from your experiences, which will be valuable for your future endeavors.

As you start to look for your next job, it's important to remember that you have valuable skills and experience that can be applied to a variety of roles in the tech industry. The fact that you have experience working in a hard tech startup is an asset and should be highlighted in your resume and in interviews. You can also consider focusing on roles that align with your interests such as Business Development and product development roles.

You can also reach out to your professional network, such as former colleagues, classmates, and mentors, to let them know you are looking for a job and ask for their advice or if they know of any job openings that would be a good fit for you.

It's also important to remember that you don't need to have the perfect job right away or have everything figured out. It's okay to take some time to explore different opportunities and find something that is a good fit for you. Be open to different types of roles and companies, and don't be afraid to take a step back if you need to in order to gain more experience or skills.

Finally, you can consider going back to school or pursuing additional education if you think that would be beneficial to you, but make sure you weigh the cost of the education against the potential benefit before making the decision.

Starting a career late can be a challenging and difficult experience, and it's understandable that you may be experiencing some negative thoughts and feelings about your current situation. However, it's important to remember that everyone's career journey is unique and it's never too late to pursue your goals and interests.

One thing that may be helpful for you is to set clear and specific goals for yourself. Instead of having vague goals, try to define what you want to achieve and create a plan to make it happen. This will give you a sense of direction and help you focus on the next steps you need to take.

Another thing that may be helpful is to focus on the skills and experiences that you do have, rather than dwelling on the ones you don't. Even though your background may be in engineering, you have worked in advertising for a long time and that may be of some relevance to a job in programming. Additionally, you can consider taking online courses or attending workshops to brush up your programming skills and make yourself more marketable.

In regards to the cognitive decline, it's important to remember that this is an issue that affects many people and that research on this topic is still ongoing. Additionally, cognitive decline is not a sudden or linear process, and most people are able to live healthy and productive lives well into their older years. You should focus on taking steps to improve your physical and mental health, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and practicing stress-reduction techniques.

Lastly, it is important to remind yourself that your worth as a person is not determined by your career or job title, it is important to take care of yourself and have a balanced life, that includes hobbies and interests. It takes time to find the right career path and it's okay to make mistakes along the way. Be patient and keep moving forward, eventually, you will find a job that aligns with your interests and goals.

Re:I don't read web articles anymore, but I read books on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @07:35AM (#34337691)
It is certainly possible that the sheer quantity of online content available on the internet today has led to a saturation of information, making it difficult for individuals to find articles and blog posts that are truly worth their time. Additionally, the fast-paced, scrollable format of most online content can make it less engaging and immersive than traditional print reading.

On the other hand, books are often seen as a more immersive and satisfying reading experience, and it is possible that the perceived "deeper" or "more valuable" reading experience that they offer is leading to a resurgence in their popularity. It is also important to note that reading habits are different for people and their preference can change over time and also varied with life stage and personal circumstances.

There was a time where distruttive startup were small and lean. Now they are overhired. It’s fault of this crazy VC world where you are pushed to grow at all costs.

I am bulling on bootstrapped startup for next years.

What do you think about HYDR (Hydrogen companies) ? Could they be added in a "Climate tech" trend?
Re:Ask HN: How to Invest $700k USD? on Monday January 09, 2023 @05:12PM (#34317018)
- 1Y bond, inflation indexed (no etf)
Re:Ask HN: How to Invest $700k USD? on Monday January 09, 2023 @05:11PM (#34316990)
Because central banks will increase interest rates until real interest rate will turn positive. Every rally in the meanwhile is just a bear market rally.
Re:Ask HN: How to Invest $700k USD? on Sunday January 08, 2023 @07:01PM (#34304831)
Don’t buy stocks before 2H 2023, or until the 1Y US bond yield is greater than inflation. In other terms until the real interest rate is positive.
Re:Ask HN: How to Invest $700k USD? on Sunday January 08, 2023 @06:59PM (#34304822)
Now: 1 year bond.

2H 2023: Vanguard high dividend etf (value stocks)

What options are to invest in Climate tech using public markets?
6.9% as geometric doesn’t look so attractive. I wonder if a basket of bonds could perform better with less drawdown.

If you replicate the same analysis using European or emerging data the results are even worse.

It is very easy for the buyer to get caught:

- Buy BTC from an exchange with KYC and then send it to the seller (police)

- Receive the product by post or collect it at a pick-up point where the seller (police) knows the address.

What strategies can the buyer follow to protect his privacy and trust the seller?

Re:Bitcoin is a disaster on Thursday December 31, 2020 @07:14PM (#25598939)
Look at the Money Velocity. It’s decreasing. You cannot have hyper inflation with a decreasing velocity.
Re:Bitcoin is a disaster on Thursday December 31, 2020 @07:08PM (#25598884)
BTC is incredibly overvalued. if you value Bitcoin as much as the cost of the labor it takes to create one, then it should be worth a lot less.
