What's the difference between me pasting a face over a body in GIMP manually and me prompting an LLM to make the same edit, faster, and better than I would by hand? They aren't particularly high-effort. The artwork isn't real

Yeah, I make song remixes in the style of a particular video game and while the music is completely human written (by me), I'll often have AI generated or edit the "cover art" for me so people have something to look at/c

No it doesn't. This reads like someone who hasn't touched a non-apple Laptop in 15-20 years.

Not really. They can get RAM just fine, and delay upgrade/refresh cycles to stretch existing component lifecycle, which was already very long if they needed to.

Nobody really "needs" RAM immediately though, like a heart or a lung or something.

Yes. Convince me why your site is worth my attention, don't try to force it through a dark pattern and then try to justify why I should waste my time figuring it out.

I moreso meant the quality of their hardware, though that's fair, I didn't recall that. Still, if they are bothering to go to the effort of getting audited (granted, I don't like reading audit reports so I didn't look at

What on earth LLM are you using and do you tell it which distro/version of Linux they are supposed to be working with + give them access to web search or man pages? I haven't had this issue in like a year and a half.

Well, on the plus side, SoundCore (Anker) are at least reputable enough (even though security teams would still want to review that!): Under the security part, they do seem to at least be compliant with your typical security standards (HIPA

I love these little anecdotes on HN, they are like a little dessert post-main-post. Thanks for sharing :-) what an incredible thing to have had the scoop on!

I'm sorry, but going to a quack doctor is not medical care, much like McDonald burgers would not be a healthy meal regardless of whether or not that's all you can afford. Except at least in the McDonald's case you have to e

I have had Claude and Codex look at third party repositories on several occasions as reference material for something I wanted to make my own version of, and not once have they ever cloned it unless I told them to. Sometimes I would notice

Not mine, UBlock has blocked that since day one, thankfully

It's not "probably not" doing anything, it's definitely not doing anything, because chiropractic is quack pseudoscience that has been thoroughly debunked and also has a bunch of other bizarre and fantastical elements to

Whenever I ask an LLM to do something and it manages to 1-shot something ingenious/perfect, I get this weird feeling of happiness tinged with looming existential dread echoing softly in the background.

Was it 4.5 or 4.6 that started using "load-bearing" all the time? Boy, the first time I saw that I knew immediately that was the Next Big Tic for Claude.

That's like saying "what, it was published in the paper of record in your local area!" NOTAMs have so many issues it's not even funny. There's so many of them and 9/10 of them are irrelevant for one.

> most vulnerabilities are going to be closed in popular software by mid 2027 I think that's a bit hopeful. I think that as long as imperfect humans continue to exist and we continue to train AI models with data from these imperfect

They knew what they were doing by not including "VIA C3 CPUs" before the fourth paragraph. Come on. It should have been in the title.

Gah, I can't remember what the specific trivia was now (ironically), just that some disk wasn't mounting and something in the fstab stuck out to me that I then looked up in the manpages and confirmed was wrong. (I wasn't even

You can already pretty easily handcuff a drunk person and then draw all over them with a sharpie, and that doesn't take 15 minutes of leaving a patch alone.

There is something unnerving about using an LLM to generate a site...that is a joke about AI embodiment.

It's a good question. I could see it working for some people (accountability, companionship) but at least for me, one of my parents is a certified PT and while she has helped a bit, the problem is just more deeply rooted than that unfo
