Not to plug too hard, but I am building a version of this to be local and friendly for your workflows.

The aim is to help people organize, discovery, and pull insights out of their knowledge bases using LLM's as cognitive functions for Q/A as well as pre-thought generated points and summarizes.

Would love to ask for you feedback. https://www.knowd.ai/

Wow this is great. I wish they would do the same thing for Maplestory. OR bring back OSRS in the same style for Maplestory. RIP childhood games.

Will there be support added for ProtonCalendar integration?
Re:Ask HN: How do I/you prep for the energy crisis in EU? on Saturday September 10, 2022 @08:33AM (#32790057)
I previously worked with a developer who told me of an employer he had while working in Russia who would turn off the heating. He told them to type faster for warmth. Not sure the gloves would help much.
Re:Ask HN: Which startups have the most interesting pivot stories? on Thursday September 08, 2022 @05:24AM (#32763213)
I second that. The books from Michael Lewis are very enjoyable reads. They are entertaining yet educational in some sense at the same time.

Apps to save energy, like allowing your device to enter a low-battery mode or state?

Wouldn't energy saving apps just reduce your current quality of computing?

Re:Ask HN: Where Is the Silicon Valley of Europe? on Tuesday July 05, 2022 @04:55AM (#31985934)
It isn't a thing. You can't take the 'SV' of US and translate that to Europe. There's so much more to it than that.

Berlin probably.

I switched and I love it. I highly recommend it.
Re:Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown? on Monday June 22, 2020 @04:25AM (#23598252)
I started a newsletter on how to raise money from VC, PE, and family offices.

I'm in the process of releasing the first publications to discuss the fundraising process as well as how to find, contact and handle oneself with such organizations.

Feel free to get updates upon release here: https://familycapital.ck.page/1838069523

I am currently reading this and I can't help but think every single page is a puff piece on how many stocks he owns and which opportunities he did and didn't see.

It doesn't feel like learning about investing for a beginner but rather an autobiography on his portfolio. What did you like about it?

Sounds like a real charm. Congratulations to you. I envy the fresh produce.
There's no surprise there. Every leader stands in front of a team who is mostly (80/20) responsible for doing the work to fulfil big promises. Nothing new.
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your mental health? on Wednesday June 13, 2018 @04:11AM (#17301235)
- Meditation apps to bring me down after a long day (5-10min)

- Regular exercise 6x a week

- Eating healthier so I don't feel heavy and tired (less carbs, fats, factory sugars)

- Spending time outside in nature

- More time with friends/family

- Writing everyday 3 lines to reflect on my day

Great way to build something in a very risk averse process. I wonder how effective this will be as a 'supplement'?
Is there a current landing page?

If you do it right, maybe it can be solar powered?
Re:Ask HN: What is your goal in life? on Monday April 09, 2018 @04:31AM (#16791316)
Live to learn, feel fulfilled, and give back to bring or sustain positivity in my surroundings.

Material view: Live in a home and land that can sustain itself, OR improve the environment I live in.

Capital view: Live relatively cost free, or generate enough income to allow me to support family if I, or they, fell into a rough time. Lots of money is nice, but I think it's more important to be able to give to others, or those you care about. There's no point in striving to be ultra rich if you only bring negativity or are completely self focused.

Mind/body: Be fit and healthy, stress free.
