Not sure it deserves a second chance but since we are already here: https://datum.alwaysdata.net

"Quora" meets "Our World In Data" meets "hypothes.is" .

It seems the Perfect place to plug a chrome extension I (half-assed) hacked together.

https://datum.alwaysdata.net/static/extension/index.html

It crowdsources tags for hacker news threads. And it also adds contextual and relevant real world data while you browse a HN thread.

It's a companion extension for the website https://datum.alwaysdata.net . I want to grow my tester community.. don't be shy !

You can access the code !

It's a Q&A website, think of Quora, where questions are inspired by comments on hacker news and answers must be backed by data.

You left no stone unturned. What's your personnal stance? if you are building a startup, are you ok taking VC money ? YC money ?

If Meta manage to deliver what they demoed in a consumer product, they have a path to owning a widely used platform and to lasting relevance.

I think the 40% number was about the ratio of people let go that reside in SF.

Hey I can't resist showing what I am working on: https://datum.alwaysdata.net .

The goal is not that far from what birdwatch wants to do, but it's restricted to adding data context to online discourse.

I am frequently pondering those kind of thoughts regarding, low trust and crypto. And I would love to discuss it with you, or other people, if you are interested.

Basically the design dilemna is you want to anchor the moderating behavior to some hard identity or value, without ruining the collaborative spirit task.

Why do you timestamp it ?

Send me a mail, ( contact in bio ) I will send it to you.

I have a tagging tool for HN and the more used tags are: big-tech, oss, cryptocurrency, dev-language... The only missing tags are "climate" and "entrepreneur".

Edit: the perfect headline would be "How Facebook acquired my climate friendly cryptocurrency startup, rewrote it in rust and open sourced it".

The reason twitter threads work is because it forces writers to be explicit in how they articulate their demonstrations. No matter how long the thread, it's easy to follow, easy to scan beforehand.

When I open a medium link, there is a high chance ( > 50%) it will be full of uninteresting filler, just to make the point look important.

The only reason I would follow a link to a blog on a non technical topic, is if the author had already built a brand with me, in my brain. For example by writing good twitter threads.

Same here, i wanted to register. But it says closed.

A new way to go through maths topics, https://mathuvue.pythonanywhere.com/

the guiding principle is to give reasons why we should bother with a problem. I have a couple of feedback that I have received that I need to implemebt.

I hacked together a small extension to tag hacker news stories. A small presentation here,

https://datum.alwaysdata.net/static/extension/index.html

With the js files for the extension.

The motivation to finish it partly came from this hn thread. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32970560

I have a personal app that I have been using for years that stopped working last week or the week before. I actually thought Streak was folding and started hacking a replacement for my use case.

Streak was one of the app I recommended most to indie entrepreneurs. Glad to hear you're still standing !

Well done !

Not looking for a cofounder, but I think it might be a great idea.

Ouch. Italian, french, german hindi, russian, japanese, anyone? I wouldn't mind since there is google translate.

I think it's a sad state of affairs, even if it's understandable due to network effects.

I usually check https://restofworld.org from time to time but they lack the social commenting aspect.

Nicely executed ! It goes right in my toolbox.

I know you say it's part of the game and all... but nothing prevent you from venting your frustration in a more direct way, even in the hypothetical case your side of the story wasn't 100% true. It's an unhealthy part of the entrepreneur culture to take it on the chin with grace. It's akin to mourning something that just passed away. It sucks and one need to acknowledge it sucks, ideally with others agreeing, before moving on to better things. If I were around, we would be going on a pub tour right away !

It's a marvel it keeps working as well as it does. Even if we could introduce more external input in the design of the core machinery, I personally would not.

We have a discord HN-learn community, where we share our learning journeys and interesting ressources. https://discord.gg/TFMvt9vh

I am personnaly on a mathematics path, starting with geometry.

Email in bio if you want to exchange.

Since people are posting virtual place for solo dev to meet.

I wanted to know if solo dev here would be interested in a user "testing" journalling network. Basically you would signup, make a symmetric/reciprocal connection to max 10 devs. You would then commit to make a post at least once a week about how you use their app. Details to be fine tuned of course.

I love exchanging with other devs about their projects and I realized that I hate it when it's a one off interaction. To me it's the best kind of friendshipping. And of course, I love to work on stuff.

If you are curious or interested, just add a reply here.

I struggle to put it in a succint way without misrepresenting what I think. I will probably write a small blog post about it (Please send me an email, I would love your opinion on it when I do ! contact info in profile).

A way to look at the problem, is to realize that what matters is the ability to make humans do something. ( I won't expand on why that matters). From there, the other observation is you can probably reduce the reasons humans act to a few affections like fear... desire ( and a couple of others).

I am not trying to explain why we should decompose things this way nor prove anything, just doing a quick exposition. Think of those affections as analoguous to physics fundamental forces.

Having said that, here is a couple of interesting things. Those primal affections work often together but are not the same. They differ in the kind of social relationships they establish between humans.

Crucially in that framework, debt is not money. It can be used to bootstrap money, but it does not establish the same relationship.

When I say money is a desire accumulator it means that having acquired it, I can rest assured that people will desire my money, and will do things out of their own "free will" to take it from me. That gives me leverage (The sentiment of free will is important for it to work, and correlates with the desire emotion).

The accumulator part is important because it allows to build an economy of desire, to transfer it over time , space and to mix it with other fundamental forces to great effects.

I am not sure what I wrote makes sense without a lot of background presentation but feel free to probe it !

I tend agree with you. I have a personal definition that allow me to derive a lot of properties with simple game theory, and explain why a gold bar is great money: money is a "desire" accumulator.

I totally believe it should be one of the available way to discover maths. By finding or asking oneself why we studied a problem and how we arrived at a solution; either historically or by filling in the blanks.

It just happen that I was sharing minutes ago, the start of my very weak personal attempt at building a math "tech tree" out of that idea ( Someone suggested me the name ). Starting with euclidian geometry.

here is the link: http://mathuvue.pythonanywhere.com/ (I apologize in advance , I am not a native english speaker, and it's only the kernel of what I really want to do)

Everything around mathematics is a lonely endeavor. I would love to get in touch with anyone that might be interested in anyway.

My email in my profile !

It will be interesting to see the impact of high energy prices during the winter on remote work adoption. In theory, saving transport costs for those who commute in individual vehicles should be enough an incentive but a lot of recent papers claim that remote work is getting unpopular due to the cost of heating at home.

Just to build my intuition, how long do you think it would take you to train Stabl eDiffusion in your homelab if you dedicated it to that task ? 10 years ? 20 years ? What about GPT-3 ?

Just yesterday I read another comment on HN saying we will have to wait another decade before being able train it in someone "basement"( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32658941 ). I made a bookmark for myself ( https://datum.alwaysdata.net/?explorer_view=quest&quest_id=q... ) to look for data that help estimate when it will be feasible to run Stable Diffusion "at home". I guess it's already outdated!

At what point do we start calling it a concentration camp system ? 60%? 80%?
