This is an amazing article. The problems it describes are exactly what we found when building a production system that used LLMs to (most of the time) produce reliable results. Extensive tests are necessary, and stakeholders have no idea ho

Were the people you were interviewing already unemployed? Work trials are harder when people are already employed. There can be legal issues as well as scheduling ones.

I have to agree with @fleshdaddy. The explainer page itself looks like slop. I haven’t seen the original project but I’m afraid this makes me less interested, not more.

You’re almost there. People shit on things that are low effort, and especially low-effort trends. And especially especially when the low-effort trend involves something that offends them in some way, for example if they think AI is taking

You’re right that a poor quality readme doesn’t mean a poor-quality product, but it seems more likely than not to me. Slop is an instant tab close for me. If something’s good, it’ll come around again. I’ll catch it when there's some ev

I appreciate it when people say something is slop. Saves me from wasting my time looking at it. How many slop ideas have come to the front page, never to be heard from again because the execution isn’t actually any good? I’m guessing most o

Texas has no income tax. It makes up the difference with sales tax and an unusually high property tax.

Given the backlash amongst gamers against AI, how does being an “AI gaming” company work?

Brown dogs chase cars != all dogs chase cars. And especially, != black dogs chase cars. 80s hobbiest programmers are GenX, and maybe most execs are GenX, but that doesn’t mean both groups share the same opinions.

Slop, and with nothing new to say. The “something” is the AI bubble.

Specifically, they have an opt-in request and an associated toggle in Settings for using Siri conversations to improve their AI.

Problem is, if they didn’t put in the effort to write the article, how can I trust that they put in the effort to verify the facts? Not to mention that the article is terribly verbose and never gets to its point (by the time I gave up, that

I think this is AI. It’s not as bad as some, but it’s got that breathless enthusiasm and drones on and on without ever quite getting to its point.

It’s not contradictory if it can change the world without being something software engineers specifically can work with.

There’s no shilling here. The person who posted the link isn’t the person who wrote the blog.

Your parent comment reads like AI slop, so you may not be as good at editing as you think. Worth thinking about the impression you’re conveying about yourself.

Don’t ask Hacker News for legal advice. If you really want to know the answer, ask a lawyer.

The issue is that scrapers are rotating their IP and essentially performing a DDoS attack. Anubis is part of a defense-in-depth solution. If scrapers reuse a cookie, traditional anti-abuse mechanisms will work.

Yep, that would make sense.

That’s a pretty reasonable hypothesis. The article says that they’re careful with what they post, but I haven’t actually looked up their content. It’s also possible that Meta just doesn’t want strip clubs on their platform at all, regardles

The facts are quite clear: 1. A Canadian business posted an image of a sign criticizing the US administration 2. Soon after, their Instagram account was suspended. 3. This has happened before with their Twitter account, which they were able

To be clear, the administration is making racist arcade games (e.g., a Tetris knock-off about the Mexican border that portrays Mexicans as literal aliens and zombies), not causing other people to make their arcade games racist.

I loved Forever War, but I don’t think it would make a great film. It needs space to breathe. A 8-hour limited series, on the other hand…

Given the number of people claiming to be CEO of HTMX, I have to ask: what’s the joke I’m missing?

I’m not seeing the problem you’re describing. It has a name: the marginal utility of money. $1,000 is worth a lot to someone who has nothing, less to someone who has a million, practically nothing to someone who has a billion. So, yes, it a

I don’t have the link right now, but I recall a study of some sort that examined brain activity and decision making. The “emotion” part lit up first, then the “reasoning” part. Essentially, we make decisions based on emotion, then come up w

Are you a lawyer? I’m not, but the Legal Eagle video linked elsewhere in this thread says that the reasons for the search are the crux of the “lawful” part, not the location. (The location was at the port of entry—the border—which is pretty

The alleged crime is knowingly interfering with a lawful search (by providing a duress password that deleted the phone). Location has nothing to do with it.
