Interesting and potentially has applicability in deriving logical rules from regulation, contracts etc. Are there already formal languages that can be used to codify, that sort of information.

RSS to only see new links that hit 100 points https://hnrss.org/newest?points=100. And then selective reading of those.

I do this as well. I scan the titles (not just HN, but all my rss feeds combined) and only read what grabs my interest.

thanks that will help cut things down. yesterdays stats comparing the feeds was 117 posts vs 29

> He got personal visits from both Ballmer and Gates that pressured him to stay with Microsoft[2] but did not balk.

So he did not refuse to comply, i.e. complied? I think the parent is right: Grandparent probably meant "he did not budge".

Per Merriam-Webster, 'to balk' means:

1: to refuse abruptly

2: to stop short and refuse to proceed

Per Cambridge Dictionary, it means:

to be unwilling to do something or to allow something to happen

So "He did not balk" can be read as "He did not stop" / "He was willing to let things proceed"

> Per Cambridge Dictionary, it means: to be unwilling to do something

You agree balking means being unwilling, right?

So not balking means being willing, right?

He did not balk, therefore he was not unwilling, therefore he was willing, right?

So he was willing to do what Microsoft asked, "but" so was the next guy? What?

> So he was willing to do what Microsoft asked?

No. Balk = stop and return on your steps. He was moving towards ”migrating more than 14000 PCs in public administration to Linux”, Gates and Ballmer tried to make him stop, but he continued on his path.

> So not balking means being willing, right?

In this case, willing to proceed with what he was planning to do, that is, moving from Windows to Linux against Microsoft's wishes.

edit: And you're right that this implies "balking at Microsoft's proposal". Personally, I did read the sentence as intended ("they wanted him to balk (= stop his plans), but he did not"), but I can see how the phrasing can be misleading...

Blasted out at 20 times the force of gravity: what ejection from a fighter jet does to the body

Or perhaps they want to stop any company that doesn’t want to play by the rules as defined by the laws of society. So doesn’t matter whether it’s a US hyperscaler or an EU wanna be.

Walking the dog is my go to for thinking through problems. The dog really loves the hard problems as they get a longer walk.

Is the influencer career being short lived any different from an athlete

Not really. Athletes sometimes get advertising contracts, which OF models will probably not. But those athletes are probably a small minority as well.

Is the user base churning or are you getting multi day active users? Which one will point you in a different direction.

Once the page has been generated where can I host it? The answer will influence your target audience.

And then on pricing what does a credit get me in terms of something tangible - a page, 5 pages?

And for the target audience do they know which model is better? And if so why is it better to use your site than just direct prompt?

That's a great point. I will be updating the credit page with details like how many credit gives you which project.

Why it is better to use Zolly is simple. We provide you with Visual Editor. Where you can drag n drop images, click to edit text, click to add link.

On other AI builders you need to give prompt to even change a basic text which will eventually eat up your credits but with Zolly AI builds your website and You design it.

I also came here to say that I am unsure of what credits will get me.

Yup, I am getting this complaint a lot. Pushing an update by this week with credit usage details. Which model eats how much credit to generate a specific project.

Thanks for the feedback

If globally we collectively used metric for all units then this becomes realistic. But whilst we have different units being used and a person needs to view this is going to happen.

If the output of a sensor that records in metric, then needs to be viewed in imperial it needs to be converted. Is it better to convert at write or read time always depends on use case and geography. Or do we just force the human in the loop to know that the speed limit is 112km/h even though it’s non digitally signposted at 70.

Hours aren't SI/metric. That factor of 3600 makes any conversion to acceleration more ugly than it should be (rounding a curve for instance). Nearly as bad as 5280 in my opinion. And really, 30 meters/second would be a nice human readable number.

Even in science though, the pros are happy to switch to electron volts or units where the speed of light and years are both 1.

“Those systems will continue to receive security updates for 3 years.” - looks like 8 years in total.
