But growth rates could make that a bargain. If the market has taught us anything since 2009, it’s don’t underestimate growth

Perhaps those are your greatest memories because that is what you were doing as a child. Would your greatest memories of you grow up now be playing Minecraft online?

> My company uses slack, teams, and zoom. Which one you use the most depends on the person or the team they are on.

This sounds exhausting. This is the reason everyone should use one.

Very cool. The opposite of the black swan or turkey corollary. Every day the turkey gets fed and is happy until Thanksgiving rolls around.

There are a lot of browser extensions designed to create LinkedIn msgs using ai. You create a search list and it creates outbound and then you can deploy auto or review before sending. You can also then auto respond

At this rate, with round 4, outside investors own 70% of company.

It’s not wrong, but unusual. Most seed round might be 10-20% of business. Your point on quantum of capital could be the disconnect for me.

Ask HN: AI evaluation for an EV charger without additional installation?

chrisgd — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:15:26 +0000

This is trending on Twitter right now as an electrician built a side hustle with Claude. Take a picture of your fuse box and potentially save yourself from having to put in a new one when installing a 240 amp outlet for your EV.

Curious if this is possible. If an electrician said I needed a new panel, not sure I would trust this solution instead.

If you organize the folders, it is pretty similar to Getting Things Done or 43 folders.

Really great work but have to agree with others that I don’t see the threads.

The one I found most connected that the LLm didn’t was a connection between Jobs and the The Elephant in the Brain

The Elephant in the Brain: The less we know of our own ugly motives, the easier it is to hide them from others. Self-deception is therefore strategic, a ploy our brains use to look good while behaving badly.

Jobs: “He can deceive himself,” said Bill Atkinson. “It allowed him to con people into believing his vision, because he has personally embraced and internalized it.”

It’s funny because everyone under the sun has been telling these two companies to come together since 2018 when online learning courses started to fade away. They are finally doing it after both went public and lost 80% of their value. At least the management team is going to make some money.

I think the title should be “despite AI lobbying push”. I am note entirely clear after reading twice who was lobbying for and who was against but Sinema hatred may have played a minor role here.

Fair. Everything is an adaption of some IP somewhere. I think the most interesting job now is cranking out self published books hoping to get adapted, but not well known to US audiences and was highly rated by critics was my point

I would disagree. I think what you see is the popular, but less well done material. Dept Q was an original 8-10 episode detective drama that was highly thought of. It received no press but it likely showed up on your carousel. Netflix knows eventually you will find it but not sure they can bring you everything.
