This is interesting. I’m from the UK, in the car trade, and setting up in Louisiana. Is there a market for European panel vans (like the sprinter, crafter, ford transit) in Louisiana?

What is the "high dimensional orange" mistake

Putting in a chat window turns it into crowd sourced peer programming. You could get people who do nothing all day as a profession but this. Like github copilot but with real developers on the other end.

If average pay for a dev is x per hour, I wonder if you could work out how much one SO point is worth based on how much time invested to get the bounty

Yes, this is consulting but commodified and made more efficient on an open market. The legacy "consulting" business model probably includes lots of costs and inefficiency priced in such as time wasted getting set up with a new team, time wasted in meetings, cost of sales, insurance etc.

How much value can really be added though in the question-answer format that you can't already get for free on StackOverflow?

The answer probably lands somewhere on a sliding scale between "quick answer to an easy coding or api question" at 0 and "team of programmers speccing out and working on a project with delivery by a deadline" at 100.

StackOverflow currently sits at 0 to 10. Gig sites like fiverr at 50, and legacy consulting at 80-90. Maybe the value here is at 25 or 30 on that scale?

If this harms their business then why would they keep doing it

They are changing their natural listing results to be multi media photos and video content will be prioritised on search results, it is going to be released in America first this month I believe

They are also seeing the results will be far more varied and scrolling down will likely give you a result that you are looking for, and the traditional way of looking with the top result, being the one that you wanted may not be the case anymore

I think they are maybe trying to replicate the TikTok experience when looking for a result, you will end up scrolling different content relative to your search keyword

All of this will benefit content creators. If you have an ability to create video content, this will give you a competitive edge.

Why is it malignant? Monarchy is the foundation of the whole system. It goes from the top all the way from the bottom. That's like saying blood is a malignant influence on the body.

Yes, but the article is about people who buy property in and emigrate to Portugal through the golden visa program or D7 visa / digital nomads

No, foreigners don't have just as much right to live in Portugal. That's what this article is about. Foreigners need an investment visa, so they have to buy the right to live in Portugal. A literal condition is that you have to buy property over €450,000 and restore it. This selects for rich foreigners so the house value increases.

If you are Portuguese you get the right to reside in Portugal for free. Everyone else (apart from EU citizens) must buy it.

I organise meetup groups in Manchester. I have a venue nailed down. Who is interested in a similar HN Meetup but in Manchester?

The AI is moving up the "content ladder" generating text -> now images -> next videos

Smart for Google to invest in this because their business relies on third party content to exist (blogs, webpages, youtube videos)

If they can vertically integrate their business to create the content AND own the discovery algorithms then they officially win the internet

I reckon the partnership is to offer toastmasters members a discount code for the product, or yoodli are starting some kind of integration with Toastmasters pathways which offers their courses as part of the pathway

It looks like this product offers speech-to-text transcription of a video and then does some kind of static analysis on the script, similar to grammarly but I guess they will have suggestions more tailored to spoken rather than written text. I don't know where the AI bit comes in other than to perform the transcription, which there are other products on the market that do this. They probably use some kind of commercially available speech to text service like https://aws.amazon.com/transcribe/ under the hood to perform this.

The search algo is just a community curated whitelist, it's just more efficient than a human maintained one, using more metrics and optimising for relevance instead of ban/don't ban a site.

The problem Google has now is either: it's algorithm is broken and it isn't showing relevant or quality results, or, maybe, the majority of the web is just trash and there are lots of relevant but very few "quality" results

Even better, let users leave comments on on search results. That stops all the "search query +reddit" searches because now Google is reddit. The discussions are happening on the search engine response page.

It's not a monopoly, they're getting slammed by TikTok
