As others have pointed out, Prophet is not a particularly good model for forecasting, and has been superseded by a multitude of other models. If you want to do time series forecasting, I'd recommend using Darts: https://github.com/unit8co/darts. Darts implements a wide range of models and is fairly easy to use.

The problem with time series forecasting in general is that they make a lot of assumptions on the shape of your data, and you'll find you're spending a lot of time figuring out mutating your data. For example, they expect that your data comes at a very regular interval. This is fine if it's, say, the data from a weather station. This doesn't work well in clinical settings (imagine a patient admitted into the ER -- there is a burst of data, followed by no data).

That said, there's some interesting stuff out there that I've been experimenting with that seems to be more tolerant of irregular time series and can be quite useful. If you're interested in exchanging ideas, drop me a line (email in my profile).


I'm working w/ like-minded people from reddit/HN to build intentional communities (commune, essentially).

Start w/ small community, build a glamping sustainable living space...

Tent living but not complete roughing it, communal shower, restrooms, kitchen, gardens, laundry, and worker spaces...then little living areas will be setup by families with gates so children don't run off, or get lost.

I think mvp needs:

Living areas. Land. Storm safety spot. Restrooms. Showers. Food Prep area. Solar/Electricity. Water.

Ideally in warmer climes as tents/yurts I think would be hard to keep warm in winter than cool in summer...

The idea being that the commune could pool resources and grow/expand and work towards fixing earth by making it fashionable to live in such communities...


I've actually been "playing"/"reading" a lot of them from https://www.choiceofgames.com/. They also offer a scripting language called "ChoiceScript" that allow anyone to make their own games. I'm sure it's not super popular, but they have their niche audience.

Few ways, in no particular order:

- are.na seems to attract people who have odd interests and it’s full of quirky websites

- webrings are still a thing and there’s a bunch out there worth checking out

- directories like https://512kb.club/ are usually full of interesting sites

- by following links on blogs and sites you find interesting

- some cool forums are still out there (https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php)

Shameless plug but I am currently curating https://theforest.link precisely because of the issue you’re describing.


Hey folks, this is Evan from AI Grant! We're excited to support founders building new AI products.

AI Grant is investing $250k on an uncapped, no-discount, MFN SAFE, as well as providing more than $300k in cloud credits.

AI Grant used to do small grants in lots of AI research projects. Now, we think there's plenty of research, and what's needed is products: so we're doing bigger investments in founders building products. Name's the same, but now we can deploy larger checks, and focus on what we think will help the most in 2022. Frankly we used the name "AI Grant" because we already had it!

If you're working on something cool, please apply! And if you have a special situation, or need help, reach out to support@aigrant.org


The Dead Internet is a mirage caused by the unreasonable effectiveness of digital marketing. You simply aren't able to find the living internet behind all the nonsense. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You just need to get off social media and google to find it.

Refresh this page as many times as you want, and I'll show you the living Internet: https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/random
