zibbity-rw··on 0 A.D. Alpha 24: Xšayāršā
This game looks so much better than it did a few years ago! I wish people used open source games like this for AI competitions. So much more open and also what a great community effort.
zibbity-rw··on Launch HN: Wasp (YC W21) – DSL for building full-stack web apps
Thank you!
zibbity-rw··on Launch HN: Wasp (YC W21) – DSL for building full-stack web apps
This is brilliant! Do you have any resources or thoughts to share on designing DSLs? Mad respect for people doing this.
zibbity-rw··on 1980's Japan
If you’re looking for actual real life footage of 1980s Japan, then I’m not sure this is it. I’ve watched a bunch of the movies where they are ripping the footage from.
zibbity-rw··on SARS-CoV-2 501Y.V2 escapes neutralization by South African COVID-19 donor plasma
This is the one headline I’m constantly afraid of reading... do any HN biotech experts have any comments or feedback? Is this a serious cause for concern?
zibbity-rw··on Best Practices for Building Computer Vision Models
This talk is fascinating. I didn’t realize Intel does professional ML/AI services!
zibbity-rw··on Launch HN: Finmark (YC S20) – Financial planning software for startups
Thanks for clarifying this. I was worried about it too. Have you considered also providing a marketplace for bookkeepers, etc? That’s another pain in the butt with this process.
zibbity-rw··on Ask HN: Does your company/startup have a cyber liability insurance?
Canadian startup here. Yes; our general liability insurance has cyber provisions in it.

Usually upper management asking is either because a customer needs certain provisions or they want to make sure a certain class of risks are covered. I’d suggest you clarify what they need and then talk to your insurance broker.

Case in point: general liability could cover a breach but might not cover ransomware attacks.

zibbity-rw··on Ask HN: How to Manage Startup Windfall?
I’ve seen a few threads like this here on HN. I feel like the most important thing is talk to a professional advisor. Take money off the tank but it’s not a “keep it all in the company” vs “sell”. You might want to do a rebalancing and keep 50/50 or something.

How much of your ownership stake would you need to sell to never worry about working again?

zibbity-rw··on Google: Bert now used on almost every English query
Interesting! I wonder if there are unintended consequences here? Since BERT clusters words based on broader text examples/crawls, can this reduce search quality in niche topics or ones that use a lot of jargon?
zibbity-rw··on Ask HN: How do you stimulate your creativity on a day like today?
I try to turn it into a game — pick a few random words, or a random time frame, or other scenario, and come up with ideas or stories around that. For example “ten years out, agriculture, global trade resurgence”. What happens? What do we build? Etc...
zibbity-rw··on Ask HN: Product Manager, what dream tool are you missing? I'll build it for free
No! This looks great. Thanks for the suggestion.
zibbity-rw··on 2020's rising stars of early-stage venture capital
Paywalled. Can’t read it.
zibbity-rw··on Ask HN: Product Manager, what dream tool are you missing? I'll build it for free
Customer discovery note taking. Get user interview feedback and track trends, reference those notes, etc.
zibbity-rw··on Ask HN: What is the best money you have spent on professional development?
Yesss! Feel the same way about books on topics like Deep Learning, django, etc. Book form is much better.
