glamp··on I sell onions on the Internet (2019)
I love this post. I read it a few years ago and tried the same thing. I bought and then built riverreports.com (https://www.riverreports.com/).
glamp··on Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for programming?
Hey Boris,

I couldn't agree more. And using Plan mode was a major breakthrough for me. Speaking of Plan Mode...

I was previously using it repeatedly in sessions (and was getting great results). The most recent major release introduced this bug where it keeps referring back to the first plan you made in a session even when you're planning something else (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12505).

I find this bug incredibly confusing. Am I using Plan Mode in a really strange way? Because for me this is a showstopper bug–my core workflow is broken. I assume I'm using Claude Code abnormally otherwise this bug would be a bigger issue.

glamp··on Claude Code refused to add rainbows and unicorns to my app
Yes. I'm not really sure how to prove it but it's real.
glamp··on Ask HN: What should I use instead of Heroku?
I’ve migrated 2 apps from Heroku to Render and both worked on my first push. One was node.js job, other was React SPA + Postgrest.

They also have $10K in credits for Atlas companies (and some other programs as well, though not personally using them so don’t know the details).

glamp··on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
I’ve been working on a site/app that displays river flows. This is something that is important for fly fishing (helps determine which flies to use, where to fish, etc.)

My goal is to keep the OPEX as low as possible and not charge for it or run ads. Currently running using a combo of Vercel and GitHub Actions for $0 / month.

glamp··on Solar farm has to switch off every second day due to negative prices
On the grid there are lots of different types of producers (solar, diesel, wind, nuclear, etc.). Each has its strengths/weaknesses. A big weakness of nuclear plants is that it's very expensive to turn them off. So much so that when electricity demand temporarily goes down (and with it prices), it is actually more profitable for them to continue keep the plant running but pay someone to offset their excess production.

There are people that arbitrage this--moving water up a hill is actually how many of them do it.

This stuff is really confusing. My brother trades electricity and has explained it to me numerous times and it's still a little fuzzy.

This is great! I just used it to make 2 stickers.
glamp··on Ask HN: What is your goto resource for learning about big data, ML, AI etc?

glamp··on A native Python IDE built for data science
hey minimaxir, the commands should still work if you have python and/or conda installed. if you have any issues you can post here: https://github.com/yhat/rodeo/issues.

thanks for trying it out!

glamp··on Yhat (YC W15) Gives Data Science Teams a Head Start
Good question. We support R and Python right now, however we're planning to extend support to other languages in the future. We've found that while PMML sounds good in theory, ta tough to use in the real world (esp. With data transformations).
glamp··on Yhat (YC W15) Gives Data Science Teams a Head Start
Hi one one the founders here. I'll be around to answer any questions.
glamp··on Show HN: Online Data Science Courses for $10
Really great instructors and about as "real world" in terms of subject matter as you can get in a classroom.

what did you use for making the slides? they look great!
glamp··on An Ode to Little Data
I've never understood why people like "big data". Small/medium data is way more fun!

Yhat - NYC; looking for employee #4; VC backed http://yhathq.com/jobs
glamp··on Ggplot2 for python
it's on the todo list. i was hesitant to put all of them in the dependencies list since not all are pip installable (all of the time)
glamp··on Content-based image classification in Python
you're right it does work locally.

yhat is built for embedding these types of analyses in a production application

glamp··on Node.js + Socket.io + Express Chat Application
What did you use for the UI? It looks really good.

It's not just you. This was a huge problem for me at first. When you're googling search "R cran" + your query

You'll get way better results
