Text on the internet and all of that, but you should have added the "/s" to the end so people didn't think you were promoting this line of logic seriously.

I take that reply as a "bar raiser" that HN commenters should be better, not as a low quality/effort reply.

I love, love, love Waymo and am so excited about their success. Uber and Lyft were the heroes for a while, but became the villains. If Waymo is available anywhere I need a cab, that is absolutely my first choice, even for the premium cost.

A device manufacturer/company that makes people who have iphones seriously consider swapping to the new company's offering. It is such a small tail of people who have an iphone and seriously consider moving to Android, with maybe

imo the app store thing is very niche and only affects a small, vocal group that tends to sit on hacker news and pay attention to these things. Can almost guarantee that 95% of the iphone-having population does not know/care about the

I am a huge, huge AI hater. I hate, hate, hate all the "Show HN: My Latest AI Slop App That Sucks and Required No Creativity to Think Up or Vibe Code and is Useless and I am a Useless Void of a Person for Having Created It." I say

LLMs are indeed the definition of trendy (I've found using Google Trends to dive in is a good entry point to get a broad sense of whether something is "trendy")! Basically the right way to think about it is that something can

SOTA typically refers to achieving the best performance, not using the trendiest thing regardless of performance. There is some subtlety here. At some point an LLM might give the best performance in this task, but that day is not today, so

They are very related concepts. Lack of remorse? Malicious act? Particularly heinous act? Both morally blameworthy and bad person! Isolated incident? Not a pattern? Morally blameworthy but not bad person. This is pretty standard virtue eth

This sounds like a great half-day project. Just use Gas Town and create a team of product managers, senior and junior developers, designers, and architects and have them get on it. (I recommend keeping Opus as the senior, and Sonnet as the

I was resigned to running cat6e up three floors because there was only coax and I needed a wifi AP up there. Came across the moca solution and it's great. I get flawless 2.5gbe from the basement switch to the third floor over coax. It&

Looks like using Google for login. You can also "Continue with Email." Logging in with Google is pretty standard.

Slamming people into the ground, firing tear gas canisters into their faces, or killing them are not valid remedies for the state to take even if obstruction is happening. (even if they're being like really annoying with whistles and s

Well, yes, but also the critical attendees (people with something substantial to add) of the meeting aren't there on time, so the meeting cannot start on time, which leads to a culture where no one shows up on time. I was flummoxed yes

True. I have not ordered a single product from the Heard Island and McDonald Islands since the tariffs were levied on them. I am champing at the bit for these to be reduced.

Yeah hate to say it, because I am an AI hater, but I love the AI results in Google and Kagi. I barely click results anymore for basic questions unless it's something important enough for me to need verification to ensure the AI-gen ans

I pay $20/mo for Gemini, so they're generating at least that much in revenue!

I don't know specifically, but I think they're referring to the current USA administration's posture of approving anything, or pardoning anyone, in exchange for some cryptocurrency or similar big favour.

Well, the video isn't available. And it's a big ask to make way out there claims and then expect people to watch whatever that video was to fully understand whether the claims are true or not. This is basically asymmetric warfare

I've been using my pi-hole as my DNS and then also firewall blocking the TV from phoning out on port 53 in case the manufacturer has hardcoded DNS. Though I agree with the point and I shouldn't have to do this. This is just mitiga

It's a responsibility, probably (definitely, I think, but minimally probably) the most important job and responsibility one can have. If you're on HN, then you likely recognize the brain rotting effect of social media without mode

I haven't heard of any of them, which I am open to being because of my own ignorance. Can you give some examples?

This came up on Stratechery recently. Shame on Stratechery for not asking any hard questions or digging deeper. There was some skepticism from Ben Thompson, but no actual ask for any sort of proof whatsoever. The interview came across like

This is so, so exciting. I hope HN takes inspiration and adds a similar flag. :)

by irl_zebra 11mo ago
Why would you flag something without reading it to see if there was a reason to flag it? Your default should be to not flag something.

This is, essentially, why I've withdrawn from posting content from my human brain almost anywhere on the open internet (except here, sometimes) and have retired blog posts, opinions, and so on to our friends WAN.
