Awesome. My email is in profile. (I Couldn't find yours ). I'll probably add a discord invite here too.

Off/On topic. Where can I find a study group, of motivated people who want to learn hieroglyphs?

Is there an online presence for the project or traces ?

Can I reach you over email ? Mine is in profile ! I want to share something not ready for primetime.

Interesting. I have been working on a service in an adjacent space, that I hope is innovative enough, but not ready yet for prime time.

I would love to exchange with you about it ( even if it's just a few short emails ) and show it to you when it's ready.

Is there anyway to reach you? I'll leave my email on my profile for a few days too !

It's way worse than that. First, We interact with LLMs through private conversation and we are used to have private conversation with human we trust. Some of that trust will be transfered to LLMs. Second, LLMs have a vastly bigger "mental" power to build a long term mental model of us, while we interact with them. Which mean they can chose with extreme precision their words to trigger an emotion, a certain reaction.

Combine the two and the potential for manipulation, suggestion, preference altering is through the roof.

I find it weird those analysis that forget the obvious Brazil moment. It provided the coordination needed to execute the exodus.

The momentary Banning of twitter in Brazil, provided the impetus for a large amount of normal people there to look for a close alternative. And BlueSky is a more normie friendly.

Now a simple network analysis will show you that a lot of "tech-normie" people, but heavy user of social networks, in the US have an extended network that touches Brazil, especially for people of color and blacks. their social contact primed them for changing to Bluesky. In a sense it was the dry powder.

Now came the election, where Elon Musk took a central role and where more than 80% of black voted against his prefered candidate. It just gave the sparkle inside an implicit network that was already playing with BlueSky.

I am working on the abandonned idea of a rapgenius for code. I think it still is a useful idea for the open source world. You can join the HN learn discord [1] if you want, so I can keep you posted.

Such a wrong take. An animated line instantly brings you focus, and remove any guess work, and unease, when analysing a complex system. And in this example , allow you to instatly replay part of the system in your head. Keep working in the direction.

I thought paywalled articles were frowned upon on HN except coming from big news sources ?

I have a pet theory that words in a language obey to both an etymological logic and a "poetic" logic. Sometimes the two don't coincide and the accepted meaning of the word drift toward the poetic imagery.

I have a project where I take a different approach [0] . I basically extract statements , explicit or implicit , that should be accompanied by a reference to some data but aren't and I let user find the most relevant data for those statements.

Would love to get in to touch with people attending !

How genuine is his related experience and how much of a game changer if it is at all, is vision pro in relevant industries ?

I think coracle.social improved over the past year. It's at a point I kind recommend it to normal tech people. FWIWI

Wow ! I was basically mulling over it earlier today in the HN learn discord[1], for a practical project. If you want to tag along to do something useful, come say hi (the more the merrier ! ).

Thank you !

Hello, I am making a text-based based game. Part text adventure, part something else and I am jumping at opportunity to build a community of "testers". Can I email you ?

I was initially interested in what was the basis for the perception of an increase in homework workload over the years.

I think a lot of the app currently in a phone make more sense on a heads up display. The main problem is the clumsyness of touching your glass to interact with it. And I think Meta neural wristband solves it.

I don't think this one was really intended to have a meaningful resell value since it started at a high enough price. But it could probably be resold at a good price in a private transaction between high networth individuals if it needed too. What I found interesting was the mechanism.

Sorry ! I did a quick visual check and I thought I was replying to someone different from the one who posted the article, and she had additional anecdotes. Don't know why I missed they were the same.

Please do share !

We have a discord "HN Learn", where we collaborate to learn things, especially Maths. If you want some company to delve into linear algebra, feel free to join.

And even then most of the discussion are very shallow compared to crypto twitter. I can't understand why. I would've thought since it's early adopters, discussion inside a tightly knit group would be more meaningful... alas

For all the talk about nostr, I recently discovered it's actually a tenth of the size of mastodon[0]. The hype-to-actual-activity is through the rough with this one.

You too can do add data on vaguely ideological articles using datapeek[0] ! I think it's perfectly relevant here.

I'd argue that better relative ergonomics had diddly squat effect on Python's current position.

And you'd be wrong.

I can confidently say that since I fully expecteded python to win over ruby and it did. Every time I used to hear hipsters dev being all the rage about ruby, I knew they implicitly discounted the cognitive load that goes with learning ruby.

The path from pseudo code to working python code was ( is? ) straight forward and ruby doesn't bring anything in term of paradigm over python that justifies foregoing that advantage.

So everytime a bright mind wanted to implement a library in her field of expertise, python was her tool of choice. And that's how python conquered field after field.

Improve online debates with data. Identify unsourced quantitative statements on site like hacker news and find data that validates or contradicts them.

It's great to find unorthodox ideas for investments.

Did something like gather.town had any usefulness or staying power with conference organisers?

I thought its stated goal was to create a virtual environment more conductive to the very useful small talk between presentations.
