@TheStalwart Internal company AI policy is an advantage for startups in general imo.

legacy companies with policy on what you can and cannot connect with Claude (like Slack) vs. startup “sure go for it” mentality.

Hiwasse river. Very pretty water. Much healthier bug action than the Caney. Lots of yellow sulfurs coming off the water, some huge ones. Explored Gee creek for some wild fish and had a swipe at a pmd but really skinny water. Early season spot.

Cashville

your golden goose sir

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Tech indicators in town, Sem vanity plates and AI billboards on 65… Nashville, the SF of middle TN… Silicon Strings? Cashville.

Pulled YTD sp500 returns and put it in Claude to visualize growth for some saas / marketplace public cos. Interesting seeing eBay and Etsy doing well.

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Been thinking about this one… hesitant to agree w it at first bc of unknown unknowns coming so fast w AI, but chewing on it… There hasn’t been the same online Saaspocolypse fear/ commentary about marketplaces from what I’ve seen.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

One heuristic for making startups AI-proof is to make things human intelligence can't compete with either. For example, marketplaces are proof against AI competitors for the same reason they're proof against human ones.

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

H crushing the reviews!

Another nice arrowhead fragment today after the rain.

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Good morning on the Caney Fork, most fish to net so far. 3 browns and a pretty rainbow. Took the beaded zebra midge or flashback pheasant tail. Rainy and smoky.

120 years of ruffed grouse sightings in Tennessee

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

@MeatEaterTV This was a great episode. I mapped the Tennessee ruffed grouse population over the last 120 years, it's interesting the reintroduction effort I found was tried in the 80s was in historic ruffed grouse habitat. Too middle TN, not east enough / enough elevation. @RGS_AWS

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Put together this TN ruffed grouse report and will be updating it and adding layers . https://t.co/cmubLTulZT

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

On my quest to find a public land ruffed grouse in Tennessee… Went out in Catoosa WMA earlier this year and didn’t flush, see, or hear any.

Back to the drawing board and visualized some data for TN ruffed grouse populations from on a few sources w Claude. East TN heavy.

we’re at the super southern edge of their natural habitat and there are habitat loss issues but there are birds here…

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Found another arrowhead piece today in the yard. Small fragment. Some good stuff now.

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Talking John Henry tunneling vs the steam driller w/ the team. Legend. Loved that story as a kid. relevant!

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

happy 519 day to all who celebrate ... bars

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

In March 2017, @LCWorldPeace and I launched Fisher Guiding. More than 9 years ago... wild.

Lilies in bloom by the bridge

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

The bridge is done! Very exciting. Few final touches maybe but it’ll be operational tomorrow. Definitely homemade but pretty fired up. Took about 6 months from laying the foundation to last stone today. Long project, will be super fun to have for the yard.

[Edward Hill @EdPassanoHill]

Bridge has been awesome this spring. Lots of creek hangs now that it’s nice. Stell got her first crawfish. Plus the steps are great box step ups
