Amen.

For me it helps to simply search for willingness to pay. The push-pull between your conceived offering and the customer’s perceived value, tend to turn these persona assumptions into something testable. Then, once true WtP is established, you can model a persona, but in my experience, too much wishful thinking goes into world modeling unless you go outside right away.
lokimedes commented on How bad can a $2.97 ADC be? excamera.substack.com/p/h... · Posted by u/jamesbowman
Curious too. The part in question has been around for a while.
My lazy answer is to search for ADC on https://cds.cern.ch
Add this to an open ended Morrowind sequel- with a tint of Minecraft and LLM driven narrative - and you would have caught the 18yo me in an infinite loop. Danger stuff, pure alchemy in fact…

I hadn’t heard the word countersignaling before, but it matches something I had observed many years ago.
My closest groups of friends always make so much fun of each other. We make negative comments about the worst traits about each other, the things that we are most self-conscious about… yet every time my friends make fun of me for something I worry about, I actually feel better and more comfortable with myself.
When I thought about why, I realized it’s because of the hidden message behind the ridicule of my longtime friends; they are telling me, “we are keenly aware of the worst qualities about you, and we love you and want to spend time with you anyway.”
There is comfort in knowing you don’t have to hide your flaws to be accepted and loved.
That may be an interpretation. Another is that many have difficulty regulating their feelings, and “venting” the discomfort in this semi-controlled manner is a socially acceptable release because it invites others to do the same to you, and you all minimize the risk of catastrophic attacks under tension.

Is that why electricity in EU is so expensive? https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/cost-of-e...
Only when it’s dark, overcast, winter or really cold. Otherwise it’s mainly due to the extreme overcapacity required to handle distributed unreliable energy sources as well as an increasing fleet of electric cars, stressing every last kilometer of the grid.
And windmills, a reliance on methane gas as gap-filling and a few other issues.
(Sorry, I know snarking is frowned upon on HN - but we choose this collective delusion over the hellish, yet stable, Cherenkov light of nuclear)

Assuming the LLM is more competent than the user, it will still require “absorptive capacity” for the user to meaningfully use the output.
Many discuss AI without considering that unless the LLM is going to take over the entire process, those interacting with it, must be sufficiently skilled to do the integration and management themselves.
This goes for organizations and industries as well. Which is why many companies struggle with merely digitalizing their products.

I love that CERN has such a strong bond with their animals. They are even monitoring the quantum entanglements of their sheep:

And yet, not everything is so pretty at CERN.
Just consider their Large Hamster Collider! It’s a travesty, and last I head, they were colliding billions of hamster per second. You also got to ask what they do with the resulting elephants and whatnot coming out of those relativistic collisions.
