i guess 3D animation costs 1 million per minute, while 2d animation costs about 15k a minute.
could AI help reduce the costs in the future ? imagine making a movie in a short time and also x0.1-0.001% costs
here's a good read too: http://web.archive.org/web/20201121143218/https://arr.am/202...
"I know nothing about Charlie Munger's UCSB plan, but it appears that he already funded a dorm with this design at U Michigan. The building seems to be rated 8.8/10 by residents, and that appears to be the highest rating of any campus apartments. https://www.veryapt.com/Apartments-L7646-ann-arbor-central-c..." [0]

There are 2 points:
1- a big percentage of threads are just mediocre blog posts
2- what is good about twitter threads? they are written for humans. as opposed to articles and blog posts that are written for search engines.
just an open question that's the 2nd reason why i didn't want to submit it as a video
not just HN but also on reddit and producthunt etc.., great ideas are everywhere, sometimes you just have to wake them up from the dead [0]
i think someone should start a fund that exclusively invests in startups that get torn to shreds on HN, “Why would anyone use this, I could build it in a weekend!”.. often means the startup goes on to reach a billion dollar valuation. here's my idea: understand the sentiment of HN comments using BOW models on successful startups already lunched, invest in the next ones.
standards should be as high as possible without hitting mentally unhealthy.
there’s was a debate about whether fish feel pain and the best moment is “actually plants might feel pain” [0]
> plants add caffeine to their nectar to enhance their pollinators memory and cognition > plants synthesize almost all known neurotransmitters

I guess whether people are laid off or just looking for new opportunities, it may not be easy to keep all the resumes, responses, contacts and interview results together, also maybe they already applied for this position? to this company? If so, when and why didn't they still have an offer from them? If they rejected, for what reason? what about reference contacts? test assignments?
so an online service for keeping all information about their job search process may be helpful.
Hundredrabbits are traveling on a sailor ship while working on OSS and many projects, they are also providing many informations about their 1982 boat and about sailing and how they are providing electricity from solar power etc..
could you expane?
Yes but, bet on BLOCKCHAIN not a cryptocurrency(at least for now?)
Satoshi Nakamoto created something truly revolutionary; a complex method of processing and recording data in a system, quickly began to overturn everything. Microsoft Word was the dominant word processing software for over a decade, with the creation of this new system, however, something similar arrived: Google Docs, Instead of one person editing a document, and being locked out when the other person began to edit, multiple people could now edit documents. That opened an entire world of possibility, from collaborative conferences online to fiction writing with both people online, using Google Docs. Microsoft Word was obsolete(even if still many people use it). Blockchain is a technology that outshines the concept of Google Docs collaboration like a spark versus a star.
Blockchain runs on a principle similar to the collaborative ability of Google Docs, by having multiple computers check to ensure that digital information is recorded accurately, millions of computers, called nodes, check this data and record it perfectly, trying to hack Blockchain is like trying to write swears in Google Docs: Everyone notices immediately. Blockchain-based businesses are growing exponentially as the technology improves. Blockchain technologies are not dominated by large industries yet. The entire industry of Blockchain technology is empty except for a few small yet growing businesses. Anyone can use this technology, and anyone can learn about it. In fact, by creating a startup focused on some sort of Blockchain transaction, whether it’s for transporting value across the internet, or general information, or financial records, you’re democratizing the entire process and keeping it away from FAANG or even Govs. Blockchain has been compared to the Internet. The Internet was extremely profitable and Blockchain arguably has the potential to be more so, simply by upgrading the existing framework. The person who sets their mind to creating a Blockchain technology has the potential to be unbelievably successful beyond simply creating a profitable niche industry.
If we design it like an electricity meter, it would work perfectly in my opinion!
Grammarly matches patterns, the differences among Grammarly and other grammar checkers are essentially in the sizes of their lists and their cosmetics: how many writing problems can they find and correct, and (far less important) how friendly is their interface to the writer?
I think Grammarly isn't even top 5 in checking grammar tools or top 10 in helping improve style.
I think the problem for grammar checkers is that they are designed to help nonnative English speakers is vastly larger than the problem of helping native English speakers, and no grammar checker I am aware of does much to help ESL speakers who are not already fluent in English.
Also Rahul (founder of Superhuman) said there is not currently an automatic spell/grammar check library that developers could use to integrate in apps and software they create. “When you type I would love to be able to autocorrect errors in your typing in the same way the MacOS does natively", so there is maybe an opportunity out there ! Don't forget me if you make it through x) and I'm spazzed to check your upcoming writings !
Cards help me personally in in Mind Mapping and is the kind of thing that can also be done in a group. It involves getting something to write upon (ideally poster board paper and a mix of different colored magic markers) and thinking non-linearly while filling that paper up with ideas.
So there is no knowledge hub inside these companies or what ?

More startup folks should read about Tomas Bata [0], he built about 2000 of houses for his workers.
The bottom line? Understanding disease biology and biological networks is the rate-limiting step in revolutionizing drug discovery. No matter how well the biophysics and structural biology progresses, medicinal chemists could be targeting the wrong protein the whole time. That being said, this achievement almost seems miraculous given where we were decades ago, and it's waiting for us as we work hard to figure out the disease biology piece of the puzzle.
Turn it into a mobile app, it's gonna work
How could it be hard in 2020 to turn the entire Web into a game ?
Sorry for no clarifications;yes I was talking about "Materialistic" the phone app
1- Offer over funnels : Funnels are important, but if I have to choose between a funnel or an offer, I’d choose the OFFER FIRST. You can close 6/5 figure deals over text message, PDFS, ugly 1-page websites, and emails. The offer is the key. Don’t create offers that you “think” people will like, instead, find out exactly what they want, do some digging… and give them exactly what they are looking for, and don’t overthink it.
2- It’s not all about the “one close call” : High Ticket clients have a different psychology. Part of attracting high-paying clients is knowing what triggers them to buy (exclusivity, high perceived value, emotional, psychological, time investment, etc..)
3- Don’t sell, select : Everything in your funnel should be designed with you SELECTING them, not you begging for their business.
4- Break the rules! You can go through copying what works, and try it out to get some quick success but eventually you’ll get to a point where you create something new in the marketplace, and you are the first one to offer it (angle wise, position wise, offer wise), so take it! First mover advantage is risky, but that’s where all the upside is, if you get it right.
There's multiple examples of successful companies with their core product using a browser extension like honey, loom, grammarly etc.. yet the Google Chrome developer experience is seriously lacking, someone is going to be successful building Expo for browser extension dev !
That is very good, if only a HN-lore exist, there are some links that are submitted to HN regularly, and every 6 months new people discover them. Great stories people here like sharing, articles, books, etc.. create a ranked list of HN folklore and traditions.
This but for E-commerce will be huge ! It would be cool to calculate a product’s overall cost through its life span.
That's mine, and to prove it, I just deleted the answer.
Here are four ideas for what a next generation Github might look like, ready for the next billion programmers:
1. Simplify the Git interface to optimize for daily workflows
2. Assume all code is online, all the time
3. Invest in Github’s people network
4. Invest in Github’s code network
What does the toolchain for the next billion programmers look like? I’ve written the above as if I were Github, but I think there’s a fair chance they’ll miss out on a lot of this. And that might just be an opportunity for you.
