Same with sunglasses, and glasses in general. One company owns everything.

Here, I was going to say it's actually unhealthy to shower twice a month. This is some super-power nose blindness.

What about that comment sounds AI generated?

by jawilson2 7d ago
Here's the honest truth: it's AI-generated. 80% of this is AI-prose-tropes. The tropes are load bearing. (Any other ai-isms I can blast in? Probably)

I could see how it would be helpful for people who don't necessarily know they have sleep apnea. I also recently read about someone who quit smoking weed, and their sleep tracking changed dramatically while they detoxed. With my Garmin

My family was on a trip in Alaska a month ago, and I intentionally did NOT grab my phone to take pics many times. For example, there were multiple times we were on a train, someone would yell "moose!!!", and by the time people gra

I think they meant they were NOT playing LucasArts games because they were playing other games.

Not really confusing, at least they are in the open about it. "If you use this site without paying, we will sell your data, there is no opt-out." Waiting for the archive as well.

Fuck that, if I need something I'll go research it. I don't need some asshole company lying to me to coerce me into giving them my money.

I just posted something similar. I think Hokas are in Facebook territory now. My 75 year old dad has been wearing them for 3 years. We just hiked in Alaska, and every single person retirement age or older was wearing Hokas. I wonder if this

Why isn't this an apples-oranges comparison? Good regulation: right to repair, manufacturers must supply manuals. Bad regulation: JD bribed senators to write regulations that make it insurmountably difficult for new players to enter. C

Every day there is another story about the harmful effects of AI on literally everything, including mental health, IP theft, the climate, etc. "Think of the children" is and always has been a weak excuse.

Sound is a wave that travels through some medium, which also cannot be faster than light. You can't have FTL information transfer.

Yes, you're correct, billionaires should not exist, and we should keep raising taxes until that is true. The "real" max wealth number is probably a bit lower, but 10 digits of wealth is a good starting point.

Can we please let humans write SOMETHING? There are AI-isms everywhere, which he even admits. This reads like a Claude code comment; there is a ton of fluff, almost no content. What was the "decision?" There are several entire par

The failure is that the task was "can I take a picture of a printed calendar with Claude and have events added to my shared family calendar" and it is apparently not possible. The parsed file was fine, and maybe would have needed

Yes, I know all of this. I have a Mac, and a PC, and an Arch Linux desktop, and an iPhone. None of the solutions are "easy." The task was "take a picture of a printed calendar with my phone and get it in my Apple Calendar (wi

Take a picture of my son's printed basketball calendar and add it to my shared iCloud family calendar. Apple/Siri couldn't do it, Claude couldn't do it. Things STILL can't talk to each other, seemingly intentionally

I want this data to be treated like HIPAA data. Any company that collects personal data must have a compliance officer, and any breaches should lead to people going to jail. If you collect personal data, you are personally responsible for i

For sure. My youngest, who was 13 years old over the summer so a bit older, went on a few 25+mile bike rides on a nearby bike trail. He was gone for several hours, we just made sure he had plenty of water, sunscreen, and a reasonably full p

This was published in Nature, I'm pretty sure the reviewers understand and account for that. HN and reasonably educated people always think this is some huge gotcha, second only to "CORRELATION != CAUSATION!!!!"

1. That link is blocked on my office network, so not sure how to respond. 2. I have enough attention thieves in my life to have to "work" to determine if I should read it.
