I never opened an account. For me facebook was like this from day 1. I thought it was cooked in 2009. I guess I was somewhat wrong.

This is just weird.

I mean… Spending tax dollars so that foreigners can watch porn without age verification sounds like a bad use of budget.

That’s a long Soul.md document! They could have gone with “you are Linus Torvalds”.

My impression is that at the end of the season, there's like 0 XXL, and 8XS, and 8Ms, but maybe that's just a perception problem.

Here's an asumption:

When you get into the overweight category, sizing becomes a lot more difficult, because then the ratios that are relatively standard for non overweight bodies (like waistline to tallness) completely break down.

So now you don't need just one parameter, but at least two: waist and tallness. And this causes the number of different sizes to explode. So instead of (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL), you'll need (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) waist x (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) length. And it becomes unmanageable for brands to cover all the different sizes without having a large amount of waste.

Men trousers and shirts do this, because generally men fashion don't change that fast, so the brands can carry many models for a longer time period.

Yeah, when the G1s dance with kids, I realized how small they actually were. Definitely not the same category.

This absolutely.

It was already the case that the hardest part of a project was getting people interested enough that they invest time into trying it.

But now, the fight to get people's attention on new projects is going to get an awful lot harder, as the barrier to entry dropped,and that people who are actually good at marketing can make apps themselves.

Otherwise, as a solo dev, you can leverage AI for both coding faster, and getting better at marketing.

I started to do this as well. Instead of prompting: "build x", I now prompt: "What questions do you need to ask me in order to have all the information you need to build x". It usually writes a long list of questions, which, once answered makes the thing a lot clearer for the AI to work.

If you don't do this, LLMs tend to make a lot of asumptions on their own without telling you.

It works for pretty much anything. Like medical advice: "What questions do you need to ask to diagnose my headache". Or practical help: "what questions do you need to ask to help me hang this mirror on the wall"

Spot on. The 'Ask me what questions you need' prompt is the secret sauce. IdeaForge essentially automates and refines that process so users don't have to figure out what questions to ask the AI. It's about reducing the cognitive load for the user.

CEOs have no clue what's going on at the IC level.

I bet many CEO PA are using AI for many tasks. It's typically a role where AI is very useful. Answering emails, moving meetings around, booking and buying a bunch of crap.

I ask this as a genuine question: who needs help "answering emails" and what part of it do they need help with?

A lot of people obsess over phrasing.

Like for instance you want to tell a coworker his work is shit, but don't know how to put it in a way that's not going hurt them or make you look like an asshole.

I know people who'd potentially spend hours on a single email like this.

Great article. On HN though “dark web agent” sounds like some AI bot did the work. It was far more interesting the way they did it.

So "agent" only means "AI agent" now?

In the current zeitgeist, more and more so

That's what I was expecting, too. Quite an interesting story regardless.
