Can totally see your point (and there are probably cases) where people are applying a harness on top of an LLM and calling it neurosymbolic.

In our case with Ontology, it's the latter! Symbolic rules learned via training + constantly updating autonomously.

Woah thank you for posting!

Re:Show HN: App that asks 'why?' every time you unlock your phone on Wednesday November 27, 2024 @11:56AM (#42257556)
On iOS, I've tried nearly everything, but here's what's lasted more than a few months.

1. A physical blocker like Brick (getbrick.app) and/or a Kitchen Timer Safe (KSafe).

2. One Sec app

I'll occasionally leave my phone at home and use only an Apple Watch with LTE.

These are the only flows that haven't become frustrating over time and have worked to cut screen time and addicted apps (or altogether).

Show HN: Made a tool to restyle or design your room

https://shopdeft.com

When I was looking to spruce up my office, the only options available were expensive interior design services. I just wanted to quickly get some ideas without breaking the bank.So we made a new tool to do exactly that. You can add an image of your existing room or even a mockup/drawing, give it a style, and it'll generate some ideas for you.I know a few of these have popped up, but I found them...

Good point. I might grab a few of the more better posts.
Re:Twenty Years of Blogging on Tuesday May 09, 2023 @09:54PM (#35882708)
Had a blog that was seeing 40,000 monthly, but I deleted all the posts when my interests changed. I regret it deeply.

I started a new one this month - https://nosduhz.com

So I guess I meet both of your criteria for the best times to start a blog!

I sure hope so. It's part of the approach we're taking for e-commerce search with https://shopdeft.com
In the case of "best office chair", the most valuable content is probably written by someone who's tried the product and is similar to you. I've had the most success finding those people hanging out in an obscure forum.

The SEO spam sites might do a good job reading the office chair's product page and wordsmithing something compelling, but often they haven't tried it at all. They're incentivized to sell something and that incentive leads to less value (in my opinion).
