If we want chatGPT to make this decision, here is its answer:

"Should HN moderator identify responses written by ChatGPT and flag them as spam?"

Whether or not HN moderators should identify responses written by ChatGPT and flag them as spam is ultimately a decision for the HN moderation team to make based on their goals and community guidelines. However, I believe that it would be more beneficial to have a clear label on text generated by AI, so that readers are aware that it has been generated by machine, rather than flagging them as spam. This can help readers to understand the quality, context, and limitations of the generated text.

Additionally, it's important to note that AI-generated text has its own value, for example, for answering frequently asked questions, summarize long documents, or even for creating new content. Instead of treating all AI-generated text as spam, it could be useful to make a distinction between those that are harmful or misleading and those that are useful and informative.

As a rule of thumb, transparency and clear label for AI-generated text should always be promoted to foster trust and clear understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technology.


1-on-1 meetings with your manager can be an incredibly valuable opportunity to discuss your progress, get feedback, and address any concerns you may have. To make the most of your 1-on-1 meetings, it's important to have a clear agenda and specific topics to discuss. Here are a few ideas of what you could talk about in your meetings:

Goals and objectives: Discuss your current and upcoming goals and objectives, and any challenges you're facing in achieving them. Review progress and talk about what you need from your manager to help you achieve them.

Feedback and development: Ask for feedback on your performance and areas where you can improve. Talk about what you're doing to develop your skills and any opportunities for training or development that you're interested in pursuing.

Career development: If you're interested in moving up within the company, discuss your career aspirations and any potential opportunities for advancement. Talk about what you need to do to prepare for the next step and what the company can do to support you in your career development.

Communication and alignment: Make sure that your manager is aware of what you're working on and that you're aligned with the company's goals and objectives. Communicate any problems or issues you're facing, so they can help you find a solution.

Current projects and work: Give an update on current projects and work, share any successes or difficulties, and discuss any upcoming deadlines or deliverables.

Personal and team updates: Share any personal news or updates and also, if there's any team-level update you've noticed that's worth mentioning.

It's important to keep in mind that 1-on-1 meetings are not just for discussing business-related topics, it's also about building a strong professional relationship with your manager, which is key for career development.

Finally, it's also important to remember that 30 minutes may not be enough time for deep dives into certain topics. If you feel that a 30-minute time slot is not sufficient for a topic you would like to discuss, you can request more time or schedule a follow-up meeting.


Starting a company and having it fail can be a difficult and emotionally challenging experience. However, it's important to remember that failure is a natural part of the startup process, and many successful entrepreneurs have failed multiple times before achieving success.

First, it is important to take some time to process and reflect on what you learned from your startup experience. Reflect on what went well, what didn't, and what you would do differently if you were to start again. This will help you learn from your experiences, which will be valuable for your future endeavors.

As you start to look for your next job, it's important to remember that you have valuable skills and experience that can be applied to a variety of roles in the tech industry. The fact that you have experience working in a hard tech startup is an asset and should be highlighted in your resume and in interviews. You can also consider focusing on roles that align with your interests such as Business Development and product development roles.

You can also reach out to your professional network, such as former colleagues, classmates, and mentors, to let them know you are looking for a job and ask for their advice or if they know of any job openings that would be a good fit for you.

It's also important to remember that you don't need to have the perfect job right away or have everything figured out. It's okay to take some time to explore different opportunities and find something that is a good fit for you. Be open to different types of roles and companies, and don't be afraid to take a step back if you need to in order to gain more experience or skills.

Finally, you can consider going back to school or pursuing additional education if you think that would be beneficial to you, but make sure you weigh the cost of the education against the potential benefit before making the decision.


This is definitely ChatGPT


ahaha you guessed it right! I was interested to see the reactions:

1) If a discussion had started from chatGPT's comment then it would have been interesting for the future of ChatGPT 2) If, as it was, it is discovered to be a robot then it makes me wonder if chatGPT is just yet another hype.

In your opinion, will chatGPT be included in HN's spam filters to limit the noise?


Today I learned that I speak roughly like a robot.


It is certainly possible that the sheer quantity of online content available on the internet today has led to a saturation of information, making it difficult for individuals to find articles and blog posts that are truly worth their time. Additionally, the fast-paced, scrollable format of most online content can make it less engaging and immersive than traditional print reading.

On the other hand, books are often seen as a more immersive and satisfying reading experience, and it is possible that the perceived "deeper" or "more valuable" reading experience that they offer is leading to a resurgence in their popularity. It is also important to note that reading habits are different for people and their preference can change over time and also varied with life stage and personal circumstances.


I always wondered who is the customer of Wolfram Alpha asking for solution of an integral? (A part from students


It is a huge time saver for people doing applied math and needing quick answers to questions in order to iterate (I do have a soft spot for SymPy if you need to answer several related questions).


Shows up regularly in games of various sorts, both making and breaking. Imagine for some simple contrived example that:

Attacking in melee yields a damage of F(strength), let's say F(x^2)

Attacking in range yields a damage of G(dexterity), let's say F(x*10)

It takes 10 attacks to level up to the next tier. Who will output the most damage on their way from tier 0 to 14? Seems like a simple question, but that number is annoying enough to not be obvious, and an integral gives the answer easily. Integrated [0,14] [x^2 = 915] [10x = 980]. So the linear damage still just outpaces the exponential (in terms of total damage done). Their integrals are equal at 15, after which point the exponential takes the lead.


Falling with Helium - https://what-if.xkcd.com/62/

> While researching this article,[5] I managed to lock up my copy of Mathematica several times on balloon-related differential equations, and subsequently got my IP address banned from Wolfram|Alpha for making too many requests. The ban-appeal form asked me to explain what task I was performing that necessitated so many queries, so this is what I put: ...

Did you know that we banned xkcd's Randall Munroe's IP address? Whoops! We address that mishap AND his query here:

A Response to “Falling with Helium” - https://blog.wolframalpha.com/2013/09/19/a-response-to-falli...

> Recently the author of xkcd, Randall Munroe, was asked the question of how long it would be necessary for someone to fall in order to jump out of an airplane, fill a large balloon with helium while falling, and land safely. Randall unfortunately ran into some difficulties with completing his calculation, including getting his IP address banned by Wolfram|Alpha. (No worries: we received his request and have already fixed that.)


I don't know about integrals, but I use it for calculating derivatives, which are useful in Jacobians, which are useful for controlling dynamic systems.


There was a time when disruptive startups were small and lean. Now they are overhired. It’s fault of this crazy VC world where you are pushed to grow at all costs.

I am bullish on bootstrapped startup for next years.


- 1Y bond, inflation indexed (no etf)


Don’t buy stocks before 2H 2023, or until the 1Y US bond yield is greater than inflation. In other terms until the real interest rate is positive.


What’s your logic here? Negative real interest rates are artificially inflating the market?


Interesting take, as interest rate = inflation + cost of money


Because central banks will increase interest rates until real interest rate will turn positive. Every rally in the meanwhile is just a bear market rally.


Now: 1 year bond.

2H 2023: Vanguard high dividend etf (value stocks)


What options are to invest in Climate tech using public markets?


Some solar companies did well this year. I’m sure some ETFs claim to try to basket this tech, but I personally think those will always miss the big winners, turn into an AARK with a few good years followed by steep losses, or just do less than the market index anyway. I think I might use a small % of my bankroll, choose a few favorites and do my own basket after getting some ideas from a list of what professionals are buying, use a long holding timeframe and try to hit a big winner.


Big down turn in US government solar subsidies starting this year. I have no stake but it will be interesting to see if these solar companies keep their performance up.


What do you think about HYDR (Hydrogen companies) ? Could they be added in a "Climate tech" trend?


Only if they're split out into fully Green Hydrogen Vs. Blue Hydrogen. Vs Wishy Washy Hydrogen.

This [1] (factored by press release PR) is a sincere effort to use renewable energy to produce scalable amounts of hydrogen product (eg: Ammonia), whereas other (sorry pressed for time ATM, (TODO backfill a link)) companies are loudly producing Hydrogen but quietly doing so as a by-product of fossil fuel extraction (ie. no net climate benefit).
