Yeah, that's a fair point.

Yeah but... it's good enough? There were movies with horrible VFX that still sold perfectly well at the time.

I am tired of having this argument with people. Google's search engine requires there to be content for them to index and send people to in order for their service to be useful. Google wants useful websites to exist, websites want goog

The internet may have declined but it's the LLM's that are finishing it off. I'm still unsure how exactly the LLM's get fed going forward, it's not like the world will remain static once most of the human written we

Yeah, I'm one of those readers who adore world building, I can honestly have cardboard cutout characters so long as the world building is great. Coupled with good progression and honestly I could read for a month solid, I have read f

Xianxia I expect. Distinctly Chinese fantasy webnovels set around Cultivators seeking immortality that go for 6000 chapters and start with the main character being the weakest guy in the weakest part of a world to them being a god like bein

Ahhh I love it. The era of silo's has well and truly arrived, I hope websites milk every dollar they can from the AI startups, they can afford it!

Is there? What storage?

That's the one area where the people involved would notice the latency.

I assume it's to stop people using the cached copies as source material for LLM's. The cache is arguably a strategic resource for google now.

Existing people are, in a world where your teenager has been getting self driving robo taxi's to their friends house since the age of 13 I'm not sure if they'll magically want a car when they reach the legal age to drive, hel

I think this is one of the reasons (among many) why self driving cars will largely be robo taxi's. I'd trust google to maintain the security in a fleet of robo taxi's where cars can be brought in, modified or replaced relativ

I'm outlining a fantasy story I want to write, I've found using image generation (leonardo.ai) very helpful in nailing down what the world looks like and how it'll work, I've actually changed my mind on a few things base

Because having dealt with taxi drivers around the world, some of them are complete assholes who specialise in taking advantage of people when they know the least (new arrivals in an unfamiliar country). Taxi drivers and their schemes are ha

Having given this some thought recently, I don't actually think anyone will sell self driving cars for a long time, if ever. I don't think there will be a big bang moment where self driving is suddenly here and it works everywhere

If you want an honest answer to Prius vs Tesla, it's because Prius was seen as a slower and lamer version of existing cars for people who didn't care about cars. While Tesla's could get from 0-60 faster than hypercars of the

I am no expert on licensing schemes, but I've seen major artists like Taylor Swift remove their catalogues from Spotify and the like, which tells me they're not that compulsory when it comes to online streaming?

Yes well the definition of "monopoly" seems to vary a bit on HN, often it means "large company I don't like". I've heard people on this site argue that Apple has a monopoly on smartphones because they don'

That's because music costs barely anything to create vs tv/movies and the digitally distributed track is basically just advertising for the music creators merch, sponsorship deals, live gigs where they make their real money. You c

Exactly, I'm sure these hobbyists will be jumping in any day now to replace what was previously done by paid professionals.

> Netflix at one point felt like the end of piracy, because it was becoming the portal to all great video content. Then everyone wanted a slice of the pie and started their own platform. In other words, we got competition. If Netflix re

The impression I've got from said people here on HN is that search engines are disgusting ad powered horrors and therefore they're not needed either. How anyone finds anything I don't know but I guess we'll find out!

Those who wish the web to return to its hobbyist roots where nobody gets paid to write content online any more are starting to get their wish.

Yup. Still wondering where AI is gonna get its raw information from in a few years when 90% of websites have given up updating.

Paris and LA were the only two cities who bid for the Olympics in 2017. They got the 2024 and 2028 Olympics respectively. I'm not sure any other city in the US wants to host the Olympics. I'm not sure there's many cities in t

For a lot of people, it is work and the quality is vastly better for it. Youtube in the past wasn't a replacement for tv, now given the quality many creators put into their work, it is.

I think the issue is, dudewhoneverleavesbasement.com stopped working on his website and his potential successor is more likely to be trying to turn that information into an interesting youtube video.
