Not to dunk on your friends and all, but wasn't Buzzfeed the exact outlet at the forefront of dismantling the credibility of the word "journalism"? Like.. they surely had valid pieces, but I remember them also being the ones

This reads slightly weird and more like a pledge of alignment than a statement from the heart. But apart from that, I guess that's always the learning? Journalists (or people labeling themselves as such) often have their own story they

I mean I wish you a lot of fun playing this discussion game online, but I kinda fail to see the point of it. Someone could now of course say "hey, but are your sure that these are really the metrics we should be looking at?", whic

I just remembered that before AI, I knew Zitron from ranting about IoT and consumer tech. He just appeared one day in my Twitter Timeline, claiming to be the "man on the ground" at CES (or so my memory at least) So from that stand

Good. Now rip it back out again and replace it with a better, local solution. ___ Fwiw, I did buy some dahua thing for this, for which I now run an asterisk that hangs up on every call and switches a USB relay to ring the actual bell. Equal

Can we please stop anthropomorphizing like this? It's bad for people. Like.. crystal meth bad.

I think I can see where you're coming from - and it is true that there are cases of dogmatism as a defense for just sucking at UX - but I violently disagree here. Good UX I believe doesn't mean that the implementation details are

Yes, yes. Truly a shame. Any other interesting thoughts worth sharing from your side?

> Cynicism is a negatively biased view of the world Is what you said. The clinical thing. > You're just being cynical Is cognitive dissonance forcing its way out of the mouths of people to shoot the messenger.
166.
by hypfer 1mo ago
Yeah, probably. It doesn't help that the clinical meaning and the colloquial meaning of the word are different, with the latter being used by people to hit you over the head with, pretending that it would be the former.
167.
by hypfer 1mo ago
I (self-servingly) don't think that cynicism is bad, nor that it would be a good idea to pathologize what is simply a healthy defense to a hostile reality. It depends on how you wield it. Cynicism shouldn't cloud your judgement. T

Nah, that was already blown up way before LLMs existed. Foss wasn't exactly not miserable before 2022. The dysfunction just got amplified so that we cannot fix it anymore by just throwing more human resources at the problem.

This outcome was to be expected. The whole voting mechanism just exists as an elaborate dance that makes everyone keep their face, while the only sensible option wins. A bureaucratic tarpit for bad ideas and emotions. In a better world, non

I think everything is said here already, but there's still yet another interesting detail worth mentioning. Reading the tea leaves, this initially said NH instead of HN, which might be a typo, but might also be "hacker news"

There is a statistically significant correlation between comments on HN not getting the point and a GitHub user existing under the same moniker with a default pfp and no content.

You don't need any of that, usually. You just scratch your own itch and you're done. There is no need to "attract contribution", usually, as usually, your project will do exactly what you need.
