It is really disappointing how much of the previous feeling of open source ethos seems to disappear every time Mozilla updates anything over the last few years. I am not involved enough to know what kind of changes or politics are responsib

Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with that pattern, but it is an unpleasant experience when trying out the game. Perhaps make it obvious via the UI that these are premium items when selecting them?

Clicked "Play Now", made my little avatar, and it immediately told me to pay money. Not a great first experience.

This reminded me of one of my first web-dev projects as a teenager - the first one I showed my (recently passed) father, in which you were prompted to ask "Chuck Norris" a yes or no question with a text box, and then would present

It does do that already. The author likely ignored the notifications repeatedly until it died.

That kind of sarcasm is not just saying the opposite of what you mean. It’s an attempt to compel the reader into understanding their own flawed rationale by presenting an argument under the reader’s pretense that is obviously flawed. An ado

I would guess it’s in response to the recent market studies showing that the general public views anything labeled “AI” as a likely scam and untrustworthy.

Sorry, let me rephrase - sugars are necessary for a pleasant and significantly healthy life.

Carbohydrates are sugars, and are required to live.

Does not surprise me at all - just because too much of something is bad for you does not mean that some amount of it isn’t essential for bodily function.

A bug is generally treated as undefined and undesirable side effects of a program. Hallucinations are undesirable but not undefined. We know that the process creates them and expect them. It’d be like using floats to calculate dollars and c

Seems like the premise you’re going with here is a false dichotomy. There’s no reason this project had to issue parking violations from launch - it could issue soft warnings and get the same feedback from impacted civilians to fix the issue

Hm, last time someone challenged you, you responded with >I’m not here to argue with socialists And told them to read a book instead of asking your opinions. Sounds like you’re just here to whine about things you don’t like and insert yo

This is a disturbingly common practice - I have seen videos on Reddit, YouTube and the like that show moments captured from cameras obviously mounted inside children’s bedrooms with a cloud service company’s logo on the feed.

I believe that often times the PIP is an attempt to get more value out of an employee that you would otherwise replace with offshore resources. i.e. "Maybe if we spook them, we can get the work of two people out of them for a while.&qu

I have received one PIP in my entire career - it was at an employer which was recently purchased by another company, shortly after the majority of my team was replaced with offshore contractors. I was not at all surprised at receiving it, d

Your entire comment history on HN is trying to start political debates, what are you even doing here? This website is not for you.

The issue with slower writing to newly created files is extremely interesting- I hope I get to see a follow up on that once it’s figured out.

Not a Musk fan myself but I echo your sentiment about Twitter. I have mostly used it to lurk and follow tech personalities that post things I enjoy reading. Now I can’t open it at work because the main page is likely to contain horribly rac

Your belief that no one has the right to privacy because you feel personally feel uncomfortable interacting with people you don't know is not a very convincing argument for the explicit support of a core tenet of fascism. I could not b

Could be. I ran through some offline LMs for voice assisted home automation a couple years ago and they were subpar compared to even the pathetic offering that Youtube provides - but Google of course has much more focused resources to fine

I mean that it is worrisome that the public would agree with this, or at least that public sentiment is shifting in that direction enough that this statement doesn't cause visceral outlash against anyone that would say it.

This is the first new YC launch I've seen involving AI that I am extremely positive about. I have worked with systems implementing similar functionality ad-hoc already, but seeing it as a buy-in service - and one so easy to integrate -

Those transcriptions are already done by LLMs in the first place - in fact, audio transcription was one of the very first large scale commercial uses of the technology in its current iteration. This is just like playing a game of markov tel

I would agree with their sentiment. I don't know how common it would be, but it would certainly happen at least in some occasions. When I was young, I worked in a call center in which the bathroom was taken away as a punishment for ba

I'm in the same vein. I enjoy being in the office a couple days a week - I feel like there's different types of focus needed for different tasks and sometimes the focus I need is the kind I get from being in a very structured envi

After I saw yesterday’s thread about politics in science was flooded with new sockpuppet accounts named after slurs spreading filth and downing everything they don’t agree with I no longer expect anything meaningful from comments here.

Yep, I can anecdotally confirm as I’m on such a routine right now. I started losing weight from severe obesity with a caloric deficit but noticed I was also feeling weaker in general (aside from the tiredness that comes with eating under yo
