It isn't so much that. Imagine if you were able to abrogate a pattern out of general communication networks that predicted a meme stock rise or a shitcoin ahead of a pump and dump. That would be extremely lucrative. That being said I d

I mean I am pretty close to leaving the internet as I know it entirely. Seems like just in the last year there has been a lot more LLM slop articles posted directly to HN. It is getting to a "what is even the point" point for me p

You don't need to stay completely in the terminal interface. I use newsboat. I have configured it such that if I want to open any media links like that, one keystroke opens them in a new firefox window on top of everything. One can als

It's the same as copying and pasting the wikipedia article and calling that your article. We all can generate our own slop if we want. If all you are peddling is slop, you are peddling nothing I can't get myself.

They actually do significant mapping. Where it operates currently it is not unusual to see this. It will be a waymo with a human driver operating someplace not currently in the waymo zone and clearly not en route to any maintenance facility

It doesn't take much of a rainstorm to see localized flooding. Some debris over the storm drain is enough to flood a street. Hard to anticipate that happening.

Even with this, a farm in Finland I'm guessing is probably far more productive with better equipment and increased investment in fertilizer, pesticide, and utilization of elite cultivars, which have increased western yields in many cro

When you consider places that do have significant mining, it isn't like that investment is exclusively home grown. Often what happens is it comes from external capital seeking permissive governments willing to give claims to these natu

If all you have are being good at prompting you are gone. Business is going to prefer new grads who have taken some class in ai prompting (which many schools now offer). Doesn't matter if the class in ai prompting isn't any good.

Over time that will change. Technology has proven time and time again that as we add a new layer of abstraction over the fundamental functionality, knowing the previous layer quickly becomes vestigial knowledge. It is true not just in softw

Pretty soon people will just airgap their stuff and that will eliminate most of the attack surface short of a sort of Mission Impossible style operation. I mean really, given how AI is being marketed, what is the point of the internet going

Well, the difference is just eat less does work. Calories in calories out is literally thermodynamics. We are an energy equation. We don't collect energy from the air or the sun either. If you cease to eat, you will starve. And of cour

The hookah supply loophole is interesting. I guess that would also explain cigar lounges as these are cigar shops as well. Vegas still also allows it I believe at least in some casinos. Vegas airport had smoking sections last time I connect

People do learn to fast and deal with those signals. Once you are aware of what they are it probably gets easier. I've fasted before, by choice and via circumstance in less fortunate times in my life. Is it uncomfortable? Sure. But it

People notoriously don't know what an appropriate portion size is. Usually those failed diets come from failing to appreciate the quantity of calories coming in. Those sugary drinks and snacks add up fast. I've seen it among peopl

I don't misunderstand. I understand they stop you from feeling as hungry. That is why it is even more perplexing. Eating until you are no longer hungry isn't how most people eat I'd say. Most people eat a given quantity of fo
