Of course we are, I just meant back then almost all of us were. The boomers didn't really use social media back then, so it was just us latchkey kids running amok!

I had a similar rule about programming languages. I would not adopt a new one until it had been in use for at least a few years and grew in popularity. I haven't even gotten around to learning Golang or Rust yet (mostly because the pa

You reminded me that I still find it interesting that no one ever copied meta-moderating. Even at reddit, we were all Slashdot users previously. We considered it, but never really did it. At the time our argument was that it was too comp

Us olds sometimes miss Slashdot, where we could both joke about tech and discuss it seriously in the same place. But also because in 2000 we were all cynical Gen Xers :)

Unfortunately I can't stand them for fiction. I love podcasts of non-fiction, but I can't keep track of the characters in fiction audiobooks. :(

My family is doing our part to keep the average up (despite me being part of the family). I read one book last year, and it wasn't so much a single story as a collection of short non-fiction stories. I've read various chapters o

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, they clearly violated policies. On the other hand, it really sucks to be at a company that has a large layoff and not get a list, only to find out that they person you were waiting on for a

My assumption was that it's a way to convey it was written by a human because it would be hard to get an AI to write in all lowercase (which it actually isn't).

Do you, as a (presumably) human, not require documentation to learn new skills?

> so I believe you when you say you’re not AI You're absolutely right! Actually, I use em dashes a lot in my longer form writing -- and have been for years. I've had to do it less to avoid accusations of being an AI.

I'm quite sure we're all in the training data. The biggest downside is that I keep getting accused of being an AI! I will write a long, well reasoned comment, and then get messages to not post AI slop. Well I can't help it

Reddit was originally designed this way, and HN sort of accidentally copied it. Back then, we always said, "content is first". We wanted people to get upvotes for their content, not for who they were. I prefer it that way.

That's not exactly how LLM temperature works. :). Also that's on inference, not training. Presumably these would be used for training, the latency would be too high for inference.

Why would SpaceX go public? They already have a robust enough private market to give liquidity to all of their employees and shareholders who want it. They can get more private investment. Going public would add a lot of hassle for little

Whenever computer chips go into space, they have to be hardened against radiation, because there is no atmosphere to protect them. Otherwise you get random bit flips. This process takes a while, which is partly why all the computers in spa

I think I'm missing something, but does every user get the same 40MB? If so, can you just dump the file on a CDN?

It's so sad that Trump so badly wants his name on everything. It's important to note that Obamacare isn't called that because Obama insisted on it. In fact, he protested against calling it that. It's actually called th
