<p>Genuinely asking, why is it considered bad? If it is done right, it will guide the customer better on whether they want something like it. We all see the photos/reviews on google maps before going inside a restaurant.</p>

<p>Or listen to podcasts/audio books. Helps when the commute involves traveling in crowded trains/busses during peak times.<p>You can cover a lot of ground while listening to podcasts. And diversity in podcasts is huge.</p>

<p>I feel that this is a data collection activity (and thus, more advanced future models and usecases) disguised as a social media. People will provide feedback in the form of clicks/views on AI generated content (better version of RLHF) on unverified/subjective domains.<p>Biggest problem OpenAI has is not having an immense data backbone like Meta/Google/MSFT has. I think this is step in that direction -- create a data moat which in turn will help them make better models.</p>

<p>Hi HN,<p>I come from a tech background but want to explore the energy industry (especially renewables) with the goal of eventually starting something of my own.<p>From my initial exposure, I’ve realized there are many opportunities to make life easier for companies in this sector. My usual approach has been to study extensively first and then reach out to people to fill the gaps. However, based on advice from 2 founders I recently met, I’d like to flip this approach: starting with conversations with experienced leaders and professionals to understand the practical realities of the industry.<p>My request: if you are currently working, have worked, know someone in this field, or simply have deep knowledge of it -- and are willing to share 30-60 minutes of your time -- I’d be truly grateful.<p>Best regards,
Shivam</p>

<p>Hey, cool idea. Would you be able to tell me the tech stack for the whole app? I want to build a similar application for some other use case. I have built a static map with all my labels using leaflet in Python. To turn it into something like you have, what technologies will I need?</p>

<p>I want to learn more about how to rebalance my portfolio. I started with ETFs and MFs and then bought some good stocks when they were low. But I have never rebalanced it. Would you be able to share some resources about it? Also, if possible, some pointers about your script.</p>

<p>I noticed that the two bars were breaking differently under the hydraulic press. One was <i>crumbling</i> and the other (manufactured) was <i>exploding</i>. There was no mention of this effect in the video. It couldn't be the due to force because in the 2nd half the manufactured bar broke at a lower force. Could this factor has consequences on how manufactured sand concrete behaves with natural phenomenon (hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, etc.)</p>

<p>I could never put it words like in the article, but I always thought this was true (not just to books, but to all the inputs). Many times in my life, I have remembered obscure stuff from a random movie or specific parts of a conversation that I had many years back. Similarly with books, I can't recall it completely, but the sense of it is something that easily pops up.<p>Now I have started taking advantage of this using Anki. Whenever I read something having a particularly interesting or thought-provoking idea, I find a way to create flashcard(s) out of it. Now I am able to recall these things more often and many times they have guided me in my life or helping out friends.</p>

<p>Hi All,<p>I recently created an open source website[1] having a collection of podcasts about Machine Learning, Data Science, and ML Engineering. The podcast details are updated daily using GitHub actions. The source is available at the GitHub Repo[2]. Adding a new podcast is easy: just add a simple text file with YAML front matter. I want the website to become a go-to place where people find the next Data Science podcast they want to listen to. I have plans to make podcast pages more informative. My objectives of sharing the website are three-fold:<p>1. Share this resource with people here who might be interested in podcasts.<p>2. Feedback and suggestions about what more information can be added to make the discovery and selection process for users easier.<p>3. If people have any additions to the current list, I am happy to add them.<p>Hope this helps the community. People on r/machinelearning[3] liked it.<p>---<p>[1]: <a href="http://dspods.netlify.app/" rel="nofollow">http://dspods.netlify.app/</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/TrigonaMinima/dspods" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/TrigonaMinima/dspods</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/liz35x/d_podcasts_about_machine_learning_and_data_science/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/liz35x/d_p...</a></p>
