For people like me who didn't know what a "2-adic eval" is, it's a fancy way of saying that 52![1] can be divided by two 49 times and still give an integer. If you factor the number 52! ( https://wolframalpha.c

So can a human, yet we don't ban those. I don't think AI is going to get better at manipulating people than a sufficiently skilled human. What might be scary is using AI for a mass influence operation, propaganda to convince peopl

This is a good use of LLMs, if you check that the formatted code it creates is the same as the original code, it has been pretty good in my experience. It's especially handy when the code is in an unfamiliar language or library, and lo

It might target people who can't afford cell service, but I don't see how that's taking advantage of them. Maybe it's profiting off them, but nobody has to use it. If it isn't worth it to you, then don't use it

This seems pretty cool, so it's free slow cell service in exchange for watching a video ad every hour, with optional prepaid plans for higher speeds/no ads. It does seem that your cellular is only active for an hour after you last

This is pretty cool! I like the idea of small platforms to connect people with a specific need. I see why requester would log an entry on the site, but what would make a traveler think "oh, I should go make a post on this website"

Discord runs in the browser, same as HN. And the HTTP APIs they use aren't officially documented (except HN's read-only ones via Firebase and Algolia) (though both are easily reverse engineered and OSS frontends exist). There&#x27

Wow, that's a pretty strong opinion. You do see that you are on a website on the internet right now, having conversations and discussions with strangers who could be from anywhere in the world, about technology and stuff that never wou

Of course! Actually, for any website that runs JS, in my opinion, we should just automatically forward the JS execution into a virtual machine, it is horrible to allow any random website to just run code directly on our machine. What if we

Yeah, it's not some ten-person forum buried in the annals of the old Internet, HN is popular enough, but does a random person sitting in a Boston cafe know what HN is? Probably not, but they sure know what Twitter is.

Oh, I don't mean that scale is the only factor. Clearly, the structure of Mastodon is way better than the structure of Twitter. But, I'd bet that if Mastodon was as big as Twitter, if it was that juicy of a target, it would have w

Another important factor, imo, is size. Quality on platforms like Twitter, Reddit, HN, Mastodon is inversely proportional to their size. If a platform gets big enough, regardless of its motives or polish, there will be more incentive to gam

That isn't a valid haiku, and it's much less clear, in my opinion. If you give me a nice big "404 Not Found" up front and then include a poem, HTTP cat, or easter egg, that would give the page personality while still bei

OpenAI could also train their models against this easily, making it hard to get at the prompt. Yet, it's super easy, try it yourself: https://chat.openai.com/share/94455782-5985-4b20-82fa-521f40... I imagine OpenA
