It's filled (sadly) by Reddit and not much else. I hope the fediverse somehow wins but it doesn't look likely any time soon

The hardware looks cool as can be; I have total faith in Teenage Engineering, and no faith in this other random startup's cloud AI (especially since we're in an AI hype bubble and their funding is going to run out at some point)

A weird cellphone that runs everything from the cloud? There's no way this isn't a nonfunctional brick in 18-36 months when they go bust.

You forgot to say it's free and it's amazing , top right link to PDF here: https://crpgbook.wordpress.com/ but also for sale in a hardcover (not sure if they're all sold) It really is comprehensive.

First two words in my head when I read the headline: "Holy fuck!". I've been waiting years for this. This is why you come to hacker news ; you want to learn interesting hacker shit? Well here it is. And bullshit is again

"Put all your eggs in one basket" isn't the traditional advice. Any one of these companies can at any time change their API, pricing, access rules, or even swap the model out for a dumber, cheaper one at the same price. You&#

OpenAI behaves as though everyone else's outputs are fair game for training LLMs, including GPT, but doesn't want others using GPT's output? So, when OpenAI does it, it's transformative, but when we do it, it's not?

ed-thelen.org is one of the most fascinating sites on the web to me, look around, its gigabytes and gigabytes of old missile tech. If we lived in a peaceful world, building miniature missile systems to shoot down clay targets would be a hel

Wizards use IRC, and their apprentices use discord. Some of the most deeply technical people in the world use IRC. Being able to talk to them is a superpower.

the article says the game has been public domain for a while... as far as I know, that's not true at all. infocom -> activision -> microsoft So it's now lost among a zillion other things microsoft owns and doesnt give a shit

I personally believe these are marketing failures rather than technical failures. I also personally loathe Microsoft, but even I will concede that they probably have the technical wherewithal to follow known trajectories, the cat is out of

Would a 2.75 trillion dollar software company that has been around since the inception of the modern computer be able to keep up? Probably. If the people running it and the shareholders were committed to keeping up and spending money to do

poe.com tells me absolutely nothing, it's an email field and a "go" button preceded by the phrase "fast, helpful AI chat". That's the entire website.

Nobody is opposed to relevant ads on TV (I mean, not any more than they're opposed to ads in general). it's the means by which they make them relevant. No one would be cool if Facebook sent agents to your home each night to rifle

Games made before I was born whose copyright won't expire until long after I'm dead. They ought to be public domain by now. In fact, games should have a shorter copyright term since they're harder to preserve and less valuabl

I lose it when I go to an arcade and they have some bootleg emulator running with one of those hideous blurry upscaling filters turned on. It's like George Lucas and his Original Vision problem... it's not good to mess with ex
