_false··on Show HN: Start every terminal session with a vivid reminder of life's value
I'm using zsh with tmux and it's a bit frustrating to have it appear on every window and every pane. At the same time if it only appears once I might miss it. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make it appear only a handful of times per day?
_false··on Ask HN: People selling both SaaS and on-prem, what's the price difference?
Interesting to see that on-prem starts lower than enterprise tier. What's the reason for that, as I'd assume any on prem would be more costly to provide?
_false··on Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
While being a student I wrote a blogpost explaining what's NLP to laypeople. It was mostly targeted at my friends but I still put it on LinkedIn. Got me a startup job.

The post: arminbagrat.com/What-on-Earth-is-Natural-Language-Processing/

_false··on Building an economy simulator from scratch
Just to add to others; I'd be interested to take a look at the source, particularly for animations.
_false··on Ask HN: Are you testing grammar in CI/CD of your blog?
Thanks, that's quite similar to what I have in mind. When using LanguageTool, how did you deal false flags from the checker?

If your setup is open-source, feel free to drop a link.

Is it though?
_false··on Show HN: Marqo – Vectorless Vector Search
Why not semantic search?
_false··on Ask HN: People with “prompt engineer” in their title, what do you do?
Thanks, for the detailed response. Bias towards blue curacao is an interesting observation.

How many templates do you tend to test out per use-case prior to settling on a specific one? Do you just use the first one that works or try to "fine-tune" the wording to get it just right?

What sort of things do you tend to spend the most amount of time while prompt engineering?

_false··on Ask HN: Who has deployed commercial features using GPT4?
Based on the demo this looks really cool. I've applied to waitlist!

How did your software engineering workflow differ when using GPT4 (as compared standard software engineering workflows)?

How did you test the code that makes heavy use of generation?

_false··on Show HN: Bricabrac – Text to Functional Web Apps
Quite cool. Kudos for including code export as that makes it useful as a starting point for projects.
_false··on My Plan for Running Twitter
Eskil's perspective on moderation is very curious:

4, Moderation needs to be distributed and crowd sourced. The users should be able to choose to what moderation groups they subscribe to. Anyone can start a moderation group.

This seems similar to filter groups for adblockers. A neat side effect of such groups is that they enable adblocker to be extended beyond its original purpose of blocking ads. For example, through custom blockers I can make common websites less distracting or block websites altogether, enabling an adblocker to be an anti-distraction tool.

I envision a similar utility for layered moderation. Many people use twitter for work and it would be nice to subscribe to a group that filters out content irrelevant to work. Maybe even people struggling with drug addiction would like drug references filtered.

IMO this approach falls short in viability of implementation. Unlike creation of automated filter lists, moderation is not a fun activity that can be crowdsourced. Whereas, making the users pay for each moderation is unlikely to work.

_false··on Ask HN: Any certification that is worth it? Legitimately helped your career?
Getting PPE sounds like good fun; but once you got it what were some cool things you've been able to do without being a type (1) or (2) private airport person?
_false··on In praise of the humble Sheffield stand
The ones my apartment block has installed can be simply unscrewed.
_false··on HN post inspired me to quit my job and found my own startup
Good job, I've noticed that copywriting is a major pita when designing a platform with no good solutions atm. Unfortunately, I don't see how your service solves it (please correct me if I don't understand it). After purchasing your service I'll get feedback on my existing copywriting and a copy for one of my sections (how big?).

This doesn't solve my problem, because now I still need to write the copy for the rest of my site based on your feedback.

_false··on Ask HN: How do you efficiently keep track of the changes/features in a commit?
Making regular commits is a good thing to do. Not sure why would you squash all the commits from a day?

It is common to squash all commits from a branch, when merging though (https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2631...).

Try writing good commit messages (https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).

_false··on Icecream: Never use print() to debug again in Python
Just what I was looking for, thanks
_false··on My Favorite Books 2020
I'm considering whether to pick up The Age of Survailance Capitalism; the relevance of the topic is obvious, yet I've heard many criticisms against the quality of the writing (not research) in the book. People who have finished The Age of Survailance Capitalism, did the writing quality get in the way of the message?
_false··on Minimal safe Bash script template
A lot of people here are leaning towards just writing the script in Py.

Could somebody please educate me on why bashing it would be preferable?

_false··on Show HN: Feature Rich Wiki for Microsoft Teams
At a glance it looks like perfectwiki offers more control over data storage, which can be a deal-breaker for many corporate clients.
