YourPrediction

A couple of weeks ago I was listening to a conversation with Elon Musk where he mentioned something that stuck with me. At Tesla, they don’t run every possible simulation. They focus on the ones that produce real signal. The branches that generate learning. The boring ones get pruned because they teach nothing. That idea kept rattling around in my head. If we take the simulation hypothesis seriously (as he does), maybe the same applies more broadly: only timelines that produce learning are worth exploring. The ones where people take clear positions, make bold calls, and are willing to be…

What it does

If we’re living in a simulation, only the interesting runs survive, the boring branches get shut down because they teach nothing. YourPrediction is a yearly ritual to keep our timeline worth running: share bold end‑of‑year takes, track what hits, and spark conversation that makes the Simulation Owner lean in.

Cast bold year‑end predictions into the digital void. Share, explore, and track prophecies before the year fades into history.

    As the end of my fixed term NHS contract approached, I did the sensible thing and started interviewing for my next product manager role. Then something clicked. I’m 29 with no dependents, have a modest amount of savings, and I’ve been dreaming of my route back to the startup world. I’m not saying this is my last chance, but it feels like a window of opportunity. There’s a lot of debate on side hustling vs a full time ‘burn the boats’ approach. After a couple of years of the former, I’m ready to try the latter. (Though in my case it’s a ferry, and I don’t think CalMac would appreciate me…

    I used to be just a blogger. Now I build internet products, still without code, using AI, design, and taste. I was building in public on X for last 2 months. And honestly, I got tired of how it became performative and started to feel fake. I shipped 2 products. Both failed to get any real traction. I kept sneaking into popular builders’ profiles, hoping to learn how they do it. One thing I kept seeing everywhere, product launch directories. I thought here is the scope. So I started building one. Same UI like the rest. Nothing special. Suddenly one day when it was half built, I realized…

  • Fatebook – Superforecasting in your Slack2023 · fatebook.io · ▲5

    Hey HN! I’ve been building Fatebook for the past couple of months. It’s a slack bot to help your team make and track predictions, right where you work. I see forecasting as anti-bullshit technology: - It gives you truthseeking incentives - You communicate your uncertainty as a probability, which is way clearer (70% is better than “probably”) - You can aggregate forecasts to get wisdom of the crowd effects - You can see everyone’s track record, and pay more attention to people who are consistently accurate I’m a fan of prediction markets [0] and forecasting platforms [1]. But predictions on…

  • Fig – Experimenting with long horizon prediction for personhoodJan 2026 · figcareer.com · ▲6

    Hey HN, We explored how decision-making happens under severe information asymmetry and used career exploration as a test subject. In practice, people converge on a small set of highly legible default paths, with little visibility into credible alternatives. That’s why we’re building Fig, a tool for reasoning about career paths when the next step isn’t obvious, given the dependence on fleeting personal preferences. Most existing tools respond by collapsing uncertainty into a single recommendation or by modeling careers as linear trajectories. That works reasonably well at the recruiting…
