Very cool!

Should they have continued growing for a while before selling or was now the best ever time?

[Ancalagon → nemath]

I feel like one of their primary investors wanted out. It was probably not the opportune time considering the cost of money right now.

[derektank → Ancalagon]

Is there any reason to think the cost of money is going to improve at all in the foreseeable future?

[Ancalagon → derektank]

well, yes, if Trump gets his way and gets a crony as the FED chair, interest rates will probably go very low

[derektank → Ancalagon]

The federal funds rate is not directly tied to commercial interest rates. If Trump actually does get his way and begins cutting the over night rate, I would actually expect investors to demand higher yields on US treasuries and commercial bonds, given it indicates the federal reserve is likely to allow inflation to increase, possibly by quite a lot

Do you think the founders were strong-armed and are pissed at this outcome?

[Ancalagon → echelon]

while not the most ideal outcome, the founders likely have large numbers of priority shares and will see a significant payout

Economy’s maybe at risk… see housing starts esp.

On: Ask HN: What is the best way to provide continuous context to models?

[nemath]

Automated fashion would be what I'm curious on.

If you’re to do it manually, what would it look like?

On: Ask HN: Are you underutilizing your insurance too?

[nemath]

They were pretty good, I also used ChatGPT health that OpenAI released few days back which is said to be more grounded. So I wouldn't be too worried about hallucinations.

I always resisted looking at their website/doc with long list of numbers/tests. This was easier.

On: Ask HN: Observed a behaviour amongst my peers around Fitness

[nemath]

For now I want to do it just to be part of it honestly, I feel I do good rn fitness wise but by taking part in it I do see an improvement, then I wouldn't actually mind focusing on exceeding my current fitness goals.

[nemath]

But wouldn't you say gamifying it makes it less unpleasant and more interesting? But yes agree with your general thought on this.

[pavel_lishin → nemath]

For me, no, it makes it more unpleasant because now it feels like more of a chore, and I'll feel guilty about losing streaks, or dropping down in rankings, or whatever.

I exercise for myself, not for clout.

On: Ask HN: What are you proud of about doing for you health and wellness regularly?

[nemath]

What did you feel were the changes before cold showers that you observed.

[raluk → nemath]

It improves immune system and geneal wellbeing. It is pain that you can get used to and I kind of enyoj it now in some weird way. It is hard, requires some dedication and brings some benefits, but does not requre extra time or planning. Great morale booster.

Kudos to you! Do you use a physical journal for this?

[rupinderdev → nemath]

Yes, I record what and why I'm grateful about it.
