Notifications? How about an email popup. My browser will happily auto-populate it.

For one: headphones are a nonstarter for me. Even earbuds… I don't want anything attached to, hanging off of me. Speakers only. But for me it's music playing in the background. Podcasts I have to listen to, background music just

Physical differences? Sure. I didn't think anyone was talking about that though.

Bad-faith narrative constructs should at least lay bare their bad faith.

Thank you.

That would allow the rest of us to know the why .

It still boggles the mind why anyone would flag it. I mean I get it if you were someone that is a part of the mass spying campaign, but I suspect there are none on HN.

That sounds like they meet after they're successful? I mean, they got on the teams to begin with—implying they got through college, got hired by a big company, etc.

I think the idea is simply to give everyone the same opportunity. "Fairness" then rests with them.

Luck seems to come around… in time. I think sometimes success in life is from making a series of "right decisions" when those forks in the road come along. (And not fucking up when you do in fact luck onto the right path.)

"Hard working people tend to know other hard working people. Hard working people get more done." That reads so odd to me. It's like someone did a search-and-replace for "Well off" with "Hard working". I am

A distinction without a difference?

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. No StarLink, no Grok, no X, no Tesla (that one is easy though—I typically spend about $15K when I buy a car). He's become a toxic "brand".

You just need accountable media. Torture or murder on a live Facebook stream? You hold Facebook accountable.

I suspect the OP understands this. Since few of those on HN (I am assuming) no longer have a FB presence, the question is why hasn't everyone arrived at this same conclusion and walked away from that addiction? Meta should really hav

Yes, I did do that thing a long time ago, ha ha.

Only if ads were not a thing.

So I signed up. I figure if I can get over a hundred people to sign up with me at $1K a month, I pass along the info, they save money, and I profit. Amidoingitrite? <JK, but, wow, what a time we're witnessing.>

Guessing this is the relevant part: "worst AI model I ever used "

Not the OP, but I suspect no one goes to my website anyway. (I write nonetheless.)

Me, I'm just scraping the parts of the internet I like, toying with local LLMs… ready really to just shove off.

by JKCalhoun 2mo ago
Yes. When my kids wonder why I don't hate AI the way they do I tell them it's because I hate Google even more. To be more precise, I hate the SEO shithole the internet has become, that Google serves up, that Google facilitated,

Regardless, we expect better from our corporate overlords.

It's still "be careful what you wish for." We got tech and only then realized all the things that we then lost.

by JKCalhoun 2mo ago
Yeah, what I was thinking—you don't need something strapped on your face to do these things.

I read that as, "Meta is a piece of shit but they're rich and don't care." (Which I guess I agree with.)

Money Pit has stuck with me.

I like how-to videos—restoration videos even more. I find something "restorative" (ha, ha) for the soul—watching a thing made (or restored).

Maybe. I'm cynical enough about how work-organizations function to worry that those at the top will be selective in firing officers found violating policies.
