It's not that people want to listen to AI music, per se. According to the article, this artist charting was part of an April fools gag. It's about ego, or maybe hubris. People think their idea for a record is good, but don't

This isn't phone vs desktop. It's app vs browser . To wit, there's no official HN app. I'm presuming you did both of these tasks in a browser.

by dfxm12 7mo ago
I think what most people don't get is that an app is a gateway to get way more personal data of the user than the browser. I'm distrustful of any "app only" service for this reason. I think the article goes into more det

The information asymmetry here is ... pretty bonkers This is why you shouldn't trust anyone who sells you on the idea that the ability to negotiate your own deals against large corporations is a feature and not a bug. The information

The website is there as of this comment. Yes there's a wix ad, but it seems normal (it just points to a wix sign up page) and not sketchy to me.

This administration is overstepping legal bound left and right. If they want you in trouble, you'll be in trouble. Appeals to law, even if successful, will take too long.

Talking about the url provided in the OP, one click on Firefox for mobile and it should be obvious. Text wider than then the screen, yellow text on white background. line spacing that's too tight, a background image that obscures text.

But I do take some issue with the alarmist framing of what’s going on. I’ve come to mostly expect this behavior from most websites that run advertising code We should be alarmed that websites we go to are fingerprinting us and tracking

You can try, but you will often be unsuccessful because of the sheer number of skus, all with similar and sometimes overlapping capabilities & the poor documentation on MS' part. Additionally, VIP users may not like to clarify. The

It does a good job of when a VIP employee demands "copilot", you have to buy a bunch of different licenses for them because no one knows exactly what they want (they just want copilot, no not that one).

Popular apps, like OKCupid, will get bought, along with their user data. Also, mission creeps when management changes. I mean, an app that starts out as "privacy focused" won't necessarily stay that way.

I don't think anyone was selling demos commercially or trying to pass off the creative ideas as their own work. With this in mind, we should set aside ideas of plagiarism, copyright, etc. It was a showcase of technical prowess/cre

Buying snake oil is not financially responsible though. Being able to afford it doesn't change that. Society would probably be better off if this money was otherwise spent on infrastructure projects, public research, etc.

Seems like rich people are wasteful with their spending.

Can you explain the comparison because on its face and especially given the context in the link, I don't see the connection.

I see lots of people do things that are commonly written off as rude too. I don't know if there is much of a monoculture around what's rude or not, if people don't care (then is it truly rude?), or maybe the writings like thi

I'm infinitely curious, so it's almost a perk that everything I knew would be history, implying there's a ton of stuff to learn/catch up on. I've dealt with loss. It sucks, but it's part of being alive (I say

For better or worse, in the US you can pretty much sue anyone for anything. A court certainly requires more evidence to declare liability than Apple would to remove an app. As far as copywriting facts, are you really under the impression th

Maybe not as well, but between the "Walker gave me aids" clip and Conan's Walker Texas Ranger lever, he'd still have been known well enough.

If you're curious, maybe you can look into Chuck's lawsuit against Penguin's book of Chuck Norris facts. He would eventually "co-author" his own book. The obvious guess here is trademark infringement (over use of Ch

It depends what your goal is. If HP gets charged per call answered, then their goal is to minimize the number of calls they answer. If they see a most of their calls are like "my internet is slow" or the laptop won't turn on

There are distinctions to be made between rotating/static display ads, spam and everything (i.e., user surveillance) that encompasses digital advertising today. Personally, ads don't bother me. Spam is annoying in terms of UX. But

we lost the original vibe of the Internet. The signal (fan sites) to noise (sites focusing on revenue) ratio is way off today. The issues are that ad revenue generating sites are too plentiful, in some cases they are generated by code and

There's an asymmetry here. We aren't talking about ads like billboard ads or TV commercials. We're talking about creepy behavioral tracking, harvesting and selling.

On the topic of capitalism, one can't make money from wfh policies like one can from the "fertility tech" one funds. It's synergy, you see.

I think it is naive to assume that under capitalism, with no guardrails in place, that the people involved with these markets will leave money on the table purely by self restraint/acting in good faith. If you just want fun, you don&#x
