New comment by nocoder in "How Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) rewrites the rules of search"

nocoder — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 05:43:47 +0000

My experience with the LLM bot is that they are really keen to appease the user and often over confident about their responses. They are prioritizing user engagement over factual nature of the response, it's as if their reward function includes the time spent on the bot. This leads to the bot swaying too much in either direction when it comes to debatable information. They essentially learn what the user prefers and so tend to reinforce those ideas. In some sense, they are like social media influencers who are too confident in their opinion because they are trying to get you to like them. I see us going further into the echo chambers where on the same topic, the bots will give different information to an users based on what the bot thinks about the user preference.

nocoder — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 03:57:41 +0000

What would be a good way to backup the passwords stored in Bitwarden? I am worried that someday suddenly bitwarden could stop working and I will lose access to all the stored passwords? Should I have a physical copy of all the passwords stored in a vault at home?

nocoder — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 03:13:43 +0000

Ya, I am a runner myself but I have heard this from some other friends. They all can play sports involving a lot of running but cannot seem to enjoy running for it's own sake. It might be personality thing, I am introverted so tend like running more because it doesn't need people or coordination. Plus it is highly accessible wherever I go.

nocoder — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 02:29:26 +0000

I guess I am a likely target audience for such a tool since I work in marketing & we consume such research, so I read through the website and there is a lot of text about "AI" & how this revolutionizes market research ,etc. But I still have no idea about how it actually works. I will not be able to explain to someone why should they invest in this tool. At some level, it sounded like a wrapper on existing LLMs and I am also not clear on what exactly does it automate. It would help to have a detailed example of what exactly this tool does and why I should use this instead of directly using Claude or ChatGPT.

I can relate to this. I am also partially color blind and when bouldering without glasses, I so often mess up the foot holds. My partner often thinks I am cheating until I tell her that I couldn't make out the color.

I am on a 10 year old Kindle and looking to replace it but most of my ebooks are from Amazon. Would it be seamless to transfer my books to Kobo via Calibre or some other software or it will be pain in the butt?

This is one of the things that makes me full of wonder and awe! When we humans put our heads to something we can kick ass. Unfortunately, off late our heads have been into kicking each other instead of building something.

where does this fit in? I am reading Intro to statistical learning, so wondering if this should come after it or I can directly jump to this when I reach the unsupervised ML techniques.

Using meetup to find a local running group has been an interesting experience. I am not buddies with them but it is nice to get out of the work bubble.

New comment by nocoder in "Ask HN: Good Marketing Strategies for a Cookbook?"

nocoder — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 11:03:37 +0000

Don't sell the book, sell your story. People buy stories & how those make them feel as a person, they do not just buy the product.

I have marketed books in the past and they are generally very difficult to sell because discovery is challenging. Cookbook category is especially very competitive and AI tools have made everything worse. So your best bet is to promote your story on social media and try to generate word of mouth. You could try spending some money on Amazon on keywords which are extremely tightly related to your cook book stuff and check if it generates any value, try with a small amount.

What a nice comment!! This has been a big failing of my mental model. I always believed if I was smart enough I should understand things without effort. Still trying to unlearn this....

I am learning Python with Replit's 100 days of code. Not sure how useful it will be, but so far it has been good.
