forstmeier | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to raise a seed round in a down market?
I feel like focusing on building revenue should be the focus of pure SaaS founders and then reach out to investors to leverage growth - something that can be done more easily once they've hit "proof of market". That's part of my hypothesis behind Automated Capital.
forstmeier | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to raise a seed round in a down market?
Agreed. A revenue-first approach is the hypothesis I'm testing with Automated Capital.
forstmeier | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to raise a seed round in a down market?
The focus on revenue is definitely a paradigm shift for the current environment. It's part of my hypothesis behind Automated Capital (http://automated.capital/).

Could something like Automated Capital, a experimental side project I'm working on, reduce the turnaround for the initial due dilligence?

Second try's the charm.

I'm following along their question answering guide: https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/answers

Yeah lol he's not going to be 100% perfect. There are definitely improvements that could be made in the request parameters being sent to the OpenAI API but I think the actual training data being uploaded and referenced as part of the response could be improve I'm just not sure how. Open to ideas!

Well I guess that's Y Combinator to some extent...
forstmeier | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: AskPaulGraham
That would be pretty interesting. I wonder if there would be a way to smoothly integrate that with OpenAI's API.
forstmeier | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: AskPaulGraham
Improving the requests being made against the OpenAI API is probably the biggest thing I'd be looking for right now. I am also considering switching over to their "search" API instead of the "Q&A" one currently available on the "questions" tab.
Thoughts on how it could be improved?

Makes me think of that scene in Archer talking about anthropology.

Officially general AI status.
forstmeier | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: AskPaulGraham
Yeah, it may have been too many operations against the OpenAI API - if you try again now it looks like it's cleared up a bit.
forstmeier | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: AskPaulGraham
Yep! And I'd love ways to tweak/improve the responses.

Should the "Info" button be more apparent or could the wording on the modal itself be improved?

Good point regarding productivity.
And that's a good list - I like the walking and stretching ideas a lot.
Chess and drawing too especially the latter since that's taking my eyes off the screen.

On #6, yes, I'd say squash merge into single commits so single commits going out would be the enforcement measure. And deploys to production occur immediately on merge to `master` which would be blocked on tests passing with additional pushes to that branch triggering test reruns.
