gravity2060··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
First they came for the graphic designers, and I did not speak up, because I was not a graphic designer.

Then they came for the writers, and I did not speak up, because I was not a writer.

Then they came for the programmers, and I did not speak up, because I was not a programmer.

Then they came for the mathematicians, and I did not speak up, because I was not a mathematician.

And then they came for me.

By then, there was no one left to explain to the frontier labs that there is a severe misalignment problem.

gravity2060··on Identity verification on Claude
One of my frustrations with this is for those of us who allow our under-18 year old children access to our account. If we want our kids to code with ai-assist, my read of the “ban-if-under-18” means I risk my indispensable pro account by giving my kids claude code on their laptops now. Is this a correct reading?

The points raised may be interesting, but the ai-slop writing here really detracts.
gravity2060··on I don't think AI will make your processes go faster
All of the above points align with our organization’s experience. But there is one more thing happening as well: we have more people in more roles able to create software solutions for issues that used to be brute forced via physical processes. (We are a small manufacturing business.) While these aren’t big giant enterprise projects that require deep swe experience, they are simple software tools that are improving process and productivity everywhere. It is pretty amazing what happens when your head of shipping can build a bespoke tool to solve a problem that previously they dealt with through burning through a lot of labor hours.
gravity2060··on Launch HN: Spine Swarm (YC S23) – AI agents that collaborate on a visual canvas
What does it mean to say 30,000 monthly credits and 1500 daily refresh credits? If my project takes 7000 credits (the way your demo does) then does that mean I couldn’t actually do it on the lowest available pricing plan because I couldn’t use 7000 credits in one run? If this is the case, what am abysmal pricing model!
gravity2060··on Launch HN: Spine Swarm (YC S23) – AI agents that collaborate on a visual canvas
In the demo video you shared (yt link) how many credits did that whole project take? What is the prices to fix elements of it (for example of you dislike a minor aspect of the generated spreadsheet do follow up instructions utilize only the narrow subset of agents that has been demoed to that subtask, or does it create new agents who have to create new context in the narrow follow up task?)
gravity2060··on Launch HN: Spine Swarm (YC S23) – AI agents that collaborate on a visual canvas
Is it possible to build self-improving swarm loops? (ie swarm x builds a thing, swarm y critiques and improved x’s work, repeat…)
gravity2060··on Show HN: JotChain – Get more out of your daily work notes
This is a tool I need. But I am so tired of stuff like this getting abandoned after 4 months that I am reluctant to even try.

I wonder if the ease of building amazing new projects leads to a sort of cycle of fatigue and end-user resistance that leads to even faster abandonment.

Very cool idea and looks like a neat implementation. I am cheering for your success and cheering even more deeply (in a philosophic sort of way) for this to be still around in few years.

gravity2060··on Show HN: 1st things 1st – Prioritize your goals, ideas, and tasks online
This is interesting, but the pricing model does not incentivize trial. I would have tried if I could test the ai feature for 7 days, but the free version not having the ai makes me move on.
gravity2060··on Show HN: Gumshoe.ai – SEO for AI
You say this, “ Want to appear more often in AI responses? Gumshoe offers tactical suggestions to improve your brand’s rank in AI search.” But how? I’m not asking for trade secrets, but is it just about publishing seo-style content on Rover’s website that is optimized for LLMs instead of Google algo?

And what is the moat? Won’t every SEO agency just morph to selling this?

gravity2060··on Show HN: I Built an AI Leads Enhancement Generation Tool
Any plans for an API?
gravity2060··on Show HN: 31Memorize–Free vocab builder with FSRS-5 spaced repetition
What do you anticipate pricing will be? How much can the user manage (create) the vocab list?
gravity2060··on Show HN: I combined spaced repetition with emails so you can remember anything
This is so cool and something I’ve wanted for a long time, but it isn’t quite right yet (for what I personally want in an app like this.)

I am your target market, and I’d buy the lifetime /annual sub in a second if it had these features:

I want control of the SR sequence or, I want to know what SR algo you are using and know it is best practice model. The landing page says 4 sends, but that isn’t true SR.

The next thing, I’d want to see all of my “cards” or information pieces when I am logged in, so I can see and edit and delete and keep the database clean with a total view of content. The next thing I’d need (maybe you have this?) is for the email to effectively be a flash card, where the email content is the front and a link the email takes me to the “back” of the card so I can’t use cloze delete and other techniques. The last thing is bulk upload of content via a csv so I can bulk import mochi /anki / llm generated content.

I wish you luck with this and would (selfishly) encourage you to not ship so many different things, and instead encourage you to pick one and make it best in class for niche users like me who would spend and spend on premium solutions, but won’t spend on superficial implementations.

gravity2060··on Amazon won't accept written communication
An amazon driver hit and run our car parked on the street in front of our house and did a lot of damage. we figured it from neighbor’s ring camera.

we messaged Amazon chat support. It was all very easy and procedural. Clearly this happens all the time because we were just moved through a process that took a few weeks, and we were fully reimbursed.

I’m not saying not to document everything, but our strategy was just to take extensive notes every day in case it ended up in a lawsuit. But the reality was they didn’t challenge anything and just moved us through a property damage pipeline.

gravity2060··on Show HN: I made a tool to receive alerts when answers change
I absolutely love this and I have a use case right now. In terms of pricing, what are you thinking?. Wow, this is very cool.
gravity2060··on Show HN: Habit-tracking app with GitHub-style grids
Looks great! Thanks for putting simmering beautiful into the world.
gravity2060··on Show HN: StudyChat – Convert YC Videos into Quizzes and Retain What You Learn
Love this. I am your ICP. Would need baked-in spaced repetition though. What’s it going to cost? How granular will it be. (ie, how many questions does it make for cuz content? What is the sensitivity for that?)
gravity2060··on Show HN: I made FAQs that customers read
I’d buy it in a second and share it with a few agency owners I know of out were possible to white label. The “powered by faq” is a deal breaker though.
gravity2060··on Show HN: Right-click and save content directly to Google Sheets
Very cool. I don’t have thoughtful comments to add but I want to thank you for putting something useful into the world!
gravity2060··on Show HN: New Tool for Crowdsourced Idea Validation
Also, major flaws is founders aren’t incentivized to give karma. In fact the opposite—if they don’t give karma their budget stays intact longer. There hard side of this market is quality comments—the money is the easy part to solve, the mechanism that definitively rewards your best contributors is harder, and is not there yet. Also, this really isn’t really idea validation, which would imply that reviewers are matched customer persona, this is really more QA / feedback. By describing it as validation you don’t attract the right users, and you disappoint the users who do come who expect x but get y. Do I move up a level for this feedback :)
gravity2060··on Show HN: New Tool for Crowdsourced Idea Validation
Feels shady that there is no concrete info on cost for founders or payouts for reviewers. Transparency here would boost trust and conversions.
gravity2060··on Show HN: PodSnacks (Podcasts summarized with AI, to your inbox, $1 per hour)
Interesting! Can you elaborate on what the longer term vision is? Monetizing? Access? Allowing for integration in other tools?
gravity2060··on Show HN: Innovatize – AI Startup Idea Generator
The email requirement at the end isn’t classy.
gravity2060··on Generative AI and the widening software developer knowledge gap
So true. Yet, right now it’s the worst it will ever be.
gravity2060··on Ten years of remembering every day that passes (2022)
This is fascinating. I’m working on a memory project and would really like to get in touch and hear your insights on limits and especially counters to interference with memorization. I’ll put my email in my profile; pure gratitude if you can spare some time to share your wisdom with me.
gravity2060··on Show HN: Learn Game Theory Optimal Poker Preflop with Spaced-Repetition
Thank you so much for building this and sharing it.
gravity2060··on Show HN: AI quizzes for your content – organised in memorable emoji lessons
This is very cool, but pricing is no where to be found. When I can’t find pricing I bounce. Is not worth the time to trial, if I don’t know what it will set me back if I like it.

I’d also like the ability to make flashcards directly from a webpage with the intermediate step of making a pdf.

Lastly, is spaced repetition on the roadmap, or is anki export the only way to get sr?

gravity2060··on On Sleeper Agent LLMs
This is fascinating. Have you seen any evidence yet of it being picked up? Are you using visible text and hidden text? I understand you are likely to elaborate too much, but other thoughts and insights you are willing to share would be great.

(Also, are you doing it algorithmicly? Does it make sense to do it as an open source project and get more like-minded collaborators? Are you seeing any evidence out there of others doing this, especially for commercial interests where I’d (sadly) expect this at this point by the cutting edge SEO crowd.)
