Damn, I got the paper stack wet with all that ocean water. Guess I'm starting again from scratch...

Do they also say you're wrong , then proceed to "prove it" by pasting more AI slop that they don't understand? The first time that happened, I had the courtesy to point out why the slop was incorrect... I don't kno

While you're technically correct, I found that a simple "give me the strongest arguments for and against this, cite your sources" works wonders.

Being the devil's advocate, it sounds like no one involved see any value in that exchange, therefore they don't care . In that sense AI slop is a symptom, not a disease. But perhaps also a catalyst. I really wonder if there is a

I hereby propose the Turquoise Trolley Problem (TTP): If you say the trolley is blue, it goes straight, where there's a baby in the tracks. If the trolley is green, two grandmas die.

I assumed the author was one of those HN haters and was filtering by referrer. Now I'm curious.

At this rate Lee Child must have already secretly invented AGI.

AI or not, I liked this bit: > Averages lie about the tails, and a person who gets a 15 cm bust error doesn’t care that the mean is 4 cm. A variation of that sentence should be mandatory in every scientific paper.

That's a poor analogy because practicing an instrument is a single-player game. Unless you mean you can practice socialisation at the mirror, or that you're willing to practice scales or solfege in public.

Congrats on the launch! InstantDB is a joy to work with. Granted, I've only ever built small toy projects with it, but it's my go-to. Just so much simpler than anything else I've tried in this space. The core product is so go

I have that exact issue on a couple of not exactly low end Samsung phones. Holding them side by side with signal open. Delivery times vary wildly. Whereas WhatsApp just works (though I hate it for other reasons)

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I did find the caveman examples harder to read than their verbose counterpart. The verbose ones I could speed read, and consume it at a familiar pace... Almost on autopilot. Cav
