This is a very weird article in light of the Republican candidate's well documented past behavior. Seems like this is an unusual race because of that, where historical data isn't really valid

Who are Shopify's competitors? If this happens, short Shopify and buy competitors. AI is the future of coding, and it's the worst it will ever get. AI has no cognitive biased, large working memory, and it can imitate every piece

Wow, this is bad news. Without in-office collaboration, company culture will collapse. The organic moments of spontaneous synergy won't take place. Perhaps OpenAI or even xAI will take over as leading company. Grim.

I agree with you about naive-user experience, and world-weary users. Nobody is a naive user in 2026. My oldest kid is 25. He learned to read so he could understand other players and NPCs in RuneScape. He's never been a naive user.

Odd for The Economist to weigh in on the side of "experts" and public health on this issue.

Can confirm the heat. In the early 1990s I got bumped from a flight out of Phoenix because it was so hot the density altitude meant they couldn't load the plane as heavily as usual.

The former U.S. senator and University of Florida president I'm not sure we should listen to Sasse. Sure, he voted to convict Trump the 2nd time Trump was impeached, but Sasse resigned a short way into his 2nd term as senator instead

Silly article that diffuses blame. The author identified a lot of causes, all of which Trump himself seems to have chosen. The author doesn't mention Trump until paragraph 15: The economic and political risks could tempt the Trump adm

This strongly reminds me of late 50s books on nuclear energy. Electricity will be too cheap to measure.

Legally and structurally, it still is the Republican party - there's been a continuity of people and institutions. The same people call themselves "Republicans" as have always called themselves that. Who am I to say they&#x27

Interesting. In addition to Anthropic's watermark use to prevent model collapse, we can definitively call something copyrighted or not copyrighted. This is a boon to everyone who consumes culture.

The logistics required to win intercontinental wars against a reasonably large and well-defended country are simply beyond human organisational capabilities But the Trump admin was using AI, which has no cognitive biases, no 5 +/-2 w

You've got to admit that the 2026 Republican party has a more top down command structure than any US party in living memory. If Trump makes a policy, or says something, that's the policy, that's the party line that virtually

That's a good point. We were assured that lots of companies were "eating the tariffs", and cutting profits, or even running in the red temporarily to keep consumer prices from rising. That was notable in contrast to 2021-2024

No. It's more like Windows NT in 1994: managers and CxO's love it as they've been privately promised that it can rid them of a substantial percentage of those arrogant programmers, and buyers and other corporate agents love

Do we know for certain that the "watermark" is some hidden, yet statistically detectable, word or syntax choices? Because if AI is as good as Anthropic says, watermarking might not be explicable to baseline humans with small short

Gosh whatever could have caused this? It's not Trump's war of choice in Iran! That isn't in the headline, and not mentioned until the 9th paragraph. In fact, this article gives Trump no agency at all - they're depicted a

This article assumes that Anthropic's watermarks are statistical word choices, not more falsehoods. If Anthropic's advanced models are as good as they say, the method of watermarking might be beyond the understanding of baseline h

We find that language characteristic of psychopaths present in annual report narratives, questionable integrity, excessive risk-taking and failure to contribute to charitable undertakings tend to reduce future shareholder wealth. Interest

I've looked at how to characterize the ssh tarpitting, and I'm not sure how to do it. I haven't put serious thought into characterizing WordPress logins at all.

Id urge you to not use LLM generated replies on HN. Make your argument fairly, don't try to baffle us with median generated prose. Good day, sir.

I agree completely, and do the same. In link aggregators that allow voting, downvote or flag. If the submitter of the "Ai" generated article has commented, I downvote or flag that comment. I don't want to read generated media

The vibes are sour. If you're not MAGA, you're either a "movement conservative" that actually still believes in things like small limited government, free markets, personal responsibility, etc, or you're at least ki

Wait, our economy is going to depend on "AI", which in turn demands data centers that consume huge amounts of electricity, but we're not going to build the power lines to get that electricity to where it's needed? I unde
