Do we? In mainstream American politics people recoil at the notion of “European” political ideals. On HN most of the “Europe is so much better” sentiment seems to come from actual Europeans.

But this doesn’t even solve the problem because I DO like emojis!

by Uehreka 2y ago
The problem is that many people do in fact use emojis instead of words in the flow of text. It’s a super common idiom (think about how people use the eggplant emoji in texts). So you can’t just use emojis to duplicate words in a sentence or

This looks fantastic! But… I love emojis, I hate to be _that guy_ about this, but the emojis on the introduction page make it hard to read. Like, I don’t notmally associate the radar emoji with sharing or the twinkle emoji with features, so

That kind of imbalance makes it easier for scammers and hucksters to get away with things. It is not a feelgood prescription with no cost.

We can't just keep saying "Don't be the dropbox guy" as a comeback to criticism of new technology. Anyone who uses that phrase should have to place a bet in a prediction market that only pays out if the product they&#x27

I just turn on Reading Mode when that happens so I can at least read the content. I find that most websites don’t have circumventions for it (at least the Safari Reader Mode on my phone).

One silver lining I want to note (after looking at the HF page again) is that they mention 4 open video models, 3 of which (Mochi 1, LTX Video and Pyramid Flow) I had not yet heard of. For anyone who, like me, has been frustrated at the dro

What a ridiculous article. The author keeps saying that “the model” was leaked (that specific phrasing, over and over throughout the article) and then at the end says “the model was disabled”. You can’t “disable” a model if it’s been leaked

Does anyone have a hard proof that language doesn’t somehow encode reasoning in a deeper way than we commonly think? I constantly hear people saying “they’re not intelligent, they’re just predicting the next token in a sequence”, and I’ll g

If this is indeed like Plaid, a simple clause in the README would put a lot of people at ease (I looked carefully for this before making my comment): This Unofficial API was built with the express written consent of Venmo (or whatever their

I looked at the website before commenting just to be sure. Judging from the quality of the design (which, yes, I think is an appropriate way to arrive at this conclusion), I would not be surprised to find out that this is a couple recent co

This will not end well. If someone with millions or billions of dollars doesn’t have an official API after operating for years, that’s because they don’t want to have one. You may receive a Cease and Desist letter, or they might block your

No, the problem is oblivious use of the word “just”. As in “just add a DNS record”, when said to an audience that has never setup a website. The idea here is that we (people who write instructions) are so bad at knowing our audience, and so

That sounds like one of those things rich people say when they don’t want to do something and want people to be mad at “lawyers” or “government regulations” instead of them.
