Show HN: Baseball version of the popular 82-0 game

https://statgm.com/

Vibe-coded a baseball version of the viral 82-0 basketball game. Codex essentially one-shotted this which was impressive to say the least. Of course the small nuance and polish was still to be done, but the prompt below did 95% of the work within 30 minutes.I'd like to build a web app that is a sports stats/simulation combination game.The basis of the game is you get to pick one player at each...

Thanks! At first I was using OpenAI's deep research to just give a summary and overall score 1-10, but I realized that could not be iterative and future proof as new evidence comes to light.

So after some thought, I switched to a system of individual evidence gathering and weighting each piece of evidence. I've given the models some basic starting points for types of evidence (for instance a donation has a default weight of 8/10), but have given the models leeway to make relative judgements.

After all evidence is collected, the weights and confidence that the evidence is accurate (usually very high) are put into a formula to derive a final score. No recency bias. The nitty gritty:

-Each row contributes direction × weight × confidence × status_factor, where disputed is cut in half and there is no recency decay.

-All signed contributions are summed into S, and total support mass goes into M. Final score is 50 + 50 * (S / (M + 4)), clamped to 0-100.

-That +4 prior mass keeps thin but unanimous evidence from producing extreme scores too easily.

-Neutral evidence (direction = 0) doesn’t push the score up or down, but it does increase M, which pulls the result back toward 50.

As for the ladder - I think that is a good idea, but in a controlled manner because of the token cost and potential for abuse.

*forgot to mention there is also a chrome extension that puts scores next to Twitter/X profiles and websites as you browse waiting for approval...

Show HN: MAGA or Not? Political alignment scores for people and companies

https://magaornot.ai

I wanted a way for people to support companies and people that align with their political beliefs. Additionally, I think it can serve as a valuable, source-linked public ledger of who said and did what over time, especially as incentives change and people try to rewrite their positions.This is fully AI-coded, researched, and sourced.Additionally, AI helped develop the scoring system. The...

Re:Ask HN: Is anyone else bearish on OpenAI? on Friday November 10, 2023 @06:56PM (#38226144)
Maybe you genuinely have no use case for ChatGPT. Maybe you just haven't been creative enough to figure out how to use the tech as it currently is. Forget AGI. What it is capable of right now, for me, and countless others in countless fields of work, already saves more time per day than everything else combined. There's certainly nothing more important than my time. That's a pretty powerful product.

Perhaps people can feel like they have special talents or powers in one field while still feeling apprehensive and anxious when it comes to other facets of life ie. I don't know that success in business equates to confidence on the dance floor.

I'll add to your anecdotal evidence by saying I am a vegetarian and I am interested in this. So somebody does really want this, just not people "around" you.

Generally...he'll have to lower the price on the remaining 3 shares to sell them it looks like as there was only demand for 7 items @ $10. Or he can simply wait until someone values them at $10. Conversely, if someone is willing to buy more than is available, people will probably make more available, just at a higher price.
Re:Inside a viral website on Wednesday March 31, 2021 @06:54PM (#26654200)
$10 PAGE RPM is the key here people. Not a great metric to go by. Ad impression RPM is the number to compare. I'd be interested to know the average number of ads/page you need to display to achieve a $10 rpm. At any rate, you can get that on AdSense no problem with very little hassle and net 30 payments.

I would look into https://iexcloud.io/ as well. I used their excellent set of APIs to build https://stockdaddy.io/
Re:A terminal stock watcher and stock position tracker on Wednesday February 03, 2021 @10:26AM (#26014432)
This is very well done. Didn't realize Yahoo APIs were still live. I made one using IEX.

https://stockdaddy.io/samples/dashboard/

They offer an excellent API for a very reasonable price and offer it free to people if you're interested in a more comprehensive solution for free. Also, take a look at IEX if you're interested in getting into financial APIs.

Be in service to someone or something without expecting anything in return.

For me it is my dog.

CSS word wrap
It's configurable - https://stockdaddy.io/dashboard/edit/

IEX is pretty good with the markets they give access to, so you should be able to find most symbols (or comparable) you're looking to track.

Came here to say this. It's great. I use it for my portfolio tracker - https://stockdaddy.io/ - it's quite powerful in terms of breadth of APIs and data available.

https://www.seedinvest.com is really good for this. They are the best at vetting companies and only allow a small amount (something like 3 out of 1,000) companies that apply raise funds through the Reg A (and other various regulations passed in the JOBS Act) exemption and I believe these are now available to accredited and non-accredited investors in some form.
Think how rich the early adopters will be when the wealth they’ve accumulated to afford life extension is able to compound for 100 years.
You wish hardship upon them because...why exactly?
Re:Ask HN: Do you program in Basic? on Sunday June 16, 2019 @09:54AM (#20195441)
Classic ASP for me still, although I believe I'm reaching the sunset here with IIS 6 on a Windows 2003 server still being feasible.

Why not change? I know the language so well, and have so many things I can reuse...ok...fear of change.

You can get pretty much anything done with classic ASP still though. Here are a few of my sites both done with only classic ASP server side.

Now, Jquery has moved some things I would previously do server side to client side, but these are basically classic ASP, SQL Server driven sites.

I feel like somehow Howard Stern should be getting some credit here. He's been using recorded drops from his show to make prank calls in this manner for years. Lenny seems at least partially derivative of that.
