On the other hand, the proliferation of shovelware Show HNs is a problem. Now that anyone can "create" a project and that project is so much less likely to have any quality or still be active and maintained in 3 months, they'

Why even be concerned with the prompt, it's an undeveloped thought from someone who doesn't care enough to develop it themself. It's essentially a tweet.

It won't get the same level of attention, but the question prior to the lapse into Chinese was pretty damning as well. It wasn't a difficult question at all but she didn't understand or answer it correctly until it was asked

Because (1) you'd be rewarding the entity that originated and normalized the loss of freedom that Google much later adopted, and (2) as Apple restricts more freedoms you'll still be able to enjoy them on Android for a few more yea

I've never felt a need to completely withdraw from the phone or the internet. If you just get off the 6 biggest sites/networks it goes a long way. The worst stuff/people have been captured by network effects and are quarantin

The crazy part of this is that LG did not fear flat out admitting they do fingerprint the audio of what you watch. I already knew that, but I can't imagine it's common knowledge yet. How long ago was it that that would have been t

Okay that kicks the can down the road, but what will we do twenty years from now?

On the other hand I'm not sure someone else's prompt is even worth my time. It's a half-baked thought they didn't feel like putting their own effort into developing. It's like reading a tweet.

And they even figured that out before Cambridge Analytica happened.

Even worse are the qualitative changes. DVRs and skippable commercials were traded for unskippable and hypertargeted ads.

It will not kill people in a sci-fi type war with its own intention. I wish that conversation would go away. It will kill people by being an efficient tool that can be used by other people to accelerate various avenues of predation and oppr

The rich were so successful in manipulating people with culture wars like "women shouldn't work" that the people who fell for it still don't realize the real war was them losing the economic standing in which it was viab

Another way to look at it is that when adults are back in charge, we can trust tech companies will fall in line with them too.

Only the female part is fascinating to them. Otherwise we'd see more high level dude psychopath scammers in prison.

It's incredible, how stupid they think we are.

If that happened would any of that data get tied back to you? If you haven't created any accounts or signed into anything.

I can't believe people are letting themselves be taken for a ride so shortly after seeing what happened with streaming subscriptions.

We have better platforms, most people are just too passive to switch. The masses should stay where they are so as not to invade and pollute the newer and better communities with the same problems that inevitably come with high scale.

It's a split between user expirences that do and don't optimize for rage and culture wars and engagement bait. If there's also a de facto red vs. blue split, it's due to which community gravitates to which model of what

The hubris that simple code can fix deceptively complex and ambiguous human problems is too baked into the community to separate.

Nobody who isn't already falling for the "promises" of AI is going to fall for word games like this.

Maintaining AI code is the new maintaining offshore code. I don't envy software engineers who are far from retirement.

I thought electing an outsider with theretofore no experience nor interest in governing was supposed to break the system in a good way so as to erase the incumbent problems and rebuild with common sense and integrity.

There's no reason that one's feelings about AI can't supersede their feelings about open source. We all live with a complex tapestry of values.
