One of the challenges on HN is that the United States pretty much singularly has a very strong right to free speech as a part of law. The right to be forgotten is a very direct an unarguable violation of this. It isn't even debatable,

It's a lose-lose for the studios. If they win on the IP side, all of the generative content of the future will exclude their IP. If they lose, then they don't get paid for it, or worse they have to pay for it. Most people seem to

This is what is referred to as "security through obscurity." If companies are going to publish/sell closed source software to the general public, and make any claims regarding it's security, that should provide more than

I really have wondered who convinced them the strikes were a good idea. It's clear the streaming content bubble has popped. It was a revenue windfall for everyone involved save investors (Disney's stock has lost nearly a decade of

It felt great, and it was actually difficult to drop because of the phone surface area touching your palm! The phones keep getting heavier, thicker, and sharper edges. While the iPhone/3G/S was the most comfortable of all of them

Another interesting thing to put Chinese housing in to perspective - it is believed to be the largest asset class in the world (worth more than the entirety of the US equity market) and just the alleged value of the unsold inventory exceeds

Well there is always increased returns and a drop in overall purchases because you believe the rating is bullshit. Maybe they were already so bad on both, that this lifts overall sales long term.

The problem is users are addicted to vanity metrics. For this sole reason, Threads will probably beat the shit out of both Twitter and Mastodon. There is good reason to suspect Tiktok faking views (viewcount is only people who were shown th

If you don't like the original Thunderbird UI, try the new Thunderbird Supernova - https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/download/beta/ They are updating the UI, and doing a good job https://blog.

Outlook's UI design by itself really is terrible. I don't know how so many people accept using it. I have a single business account I used Outlook for, switched to Thunderbird, and it is vastly less painful to use. I can find, rea

I saw that pop up on one of my parent's computers. The hardware is old enough that it didn't want to install Windows 11, but Microsoft still managed to push that shit. Within an hour I wiped the drive of Windows.

#1 Post-Snowden the general public has demonstrated they don't really care about privacy. As long as that is true, both companies and governments can demand a lot and get it, even though they don't need it. Strictly from a computi

I'm still using Firefox and it works great. The tricking people to sign in stuff is nefarious and is a more recent and growing problem. Google even gets away with it through iOS by forcing app logins/"authorization" that

hn really ended up replacing Slashdot for me. Disappointingly, I took a look at /. in the past month and realized I hadn't even loaded it out in 4+ years. Ideal would be hn style sites, decentralized like forums, and managed by in

I didn't downvote you, but one thing that surprises me that for all of the expert communities I follow and participate in, there are basically never links to Reddit threads. I do hear complaints from a few friends about how misleading&

That just isn't a reasonable statement. No one forces someone to participate in a ponzi scheme. The problem with SPACS is these were companies that did not go the IPO route because they would not pass SEC approval. Companies should go

On it's own, ChatGPT makes up answers. Bard does as well, but it's worse. Google's integrated featured snippets are notorious for wrong answers. When Google says they are adding more AI to their search experience, I'm no

How many people believe horoscopes and astrology carry any meaning? Most will never comprehend LLMs or even the simplest concepts of machine learning.

This is a good idea, and probably will be the most likely path for dealing with LLM generated spam in general. Additionally, you could flag a spam contributor and then cloak them in to a parallel hole of nonsense. Of course the Microsoft is
