Can you elaborate?

Yes. The Japan Meteorological agency has a piss poor machine learning model that basically defaults to predicting 3 meters wave every time there is an earthquake in the sea and in the end it's usually a few dozens of centimeters. They lost all credibility by crying wolf every single time.

Feedback: Would've been really nice to have an editor on your website. I'm on mobile, so I probably would have added a few feeds -> generated a link with query params -> put it on my slack to pick it up on my laptop later

I know I could just type it or send just the website link over, but it just feels like more work and I'm not invested enough (ie if I'd generated a link now I'd feel like I invested effort and would definitely open it on the laptop. With just a link...not sure)


Haha, nice bio. Seeing that font on HN is quite a shock.

"backups on an hourly basis" "excellent customer support" "500mb free"

A more unconvincing website I have never seen


That's a pretty crazy background. I wish you'd put your profile in your bio so I could follow you!

Do you have notifications set up or something? xD

No, I just occasionally suffer a failure of self-control when I see my almost-namesake in a comment.

I wish your contact details were in your profile, because I'm the kinda guy who'd annoy you till you finally give up and publish the blog ;)


Hi! I'd like some quick feedback - I just implemented RSS on my blog. ie the URL works.

Am I supposed to advertise it with the icon explicitly or is it enough if the URL works? What do you generally look for?


Wow. A few questions: - I recently added RSS to my blog. The URL works but I don't advertise it with the icon. Should I? - What do you use to track traffic?


I don't use the icon, but at the end of every article I have the "Follow me via RSS Feed" as a direct link to the RSS. As far as tracking the rss traffic, this graph is generated from my server logs. It is literally cat apache logs | grep my feed url | awk daily traffic | sort.

Note this shows me how many RSS readers have accessed my RSS daily. I can't actually track each person, although I have a report I'm working on for the end of the year.


Do you also have something like <link rel=alternate href=/atom.xml type=application/atom+xml> in your <head> element?

Things like this let me just throw homepages (or blog pages) at feed readers and they can discover all the different feeds available and I can pick one (although you really don't need more than one, generally).


I do have a fairly new personal blog, but I'm not sure how discoverability works.

It seems like you'd get traffic from search engines a few years back, but now the only traffic I've had is from a HN post.

Everything points to optimizing for "AEO" for LLMs now


I'm a little skeptical of AEO. What's the point if AI users just ask the LLM to retrieve the information and never visit your blog? I almost never click the links ChatGPT gives me

Maybe it makes sense if you're selling a product or service, but I don't see the appeal of AEO as the new SEO. Maybe I'm missing something?
