The concept of “doxing” has come too far. You used to have a phone book that had everyone’s names, addresses and phone numbers in them. Now it’s treated as if there’s an expectation that someone’s address is very private information.

What are you missing from a Range Rover if you get one of these? They’re probably more reliable. They just need to work on the terrible names - Geely, Zeekr, Jaecoo? They sound like they smashed a keyboard and then maybe added some vowels.

The hard part is that it locks you in to whatever people believe at the moment, which might be proven wrong in the future

It’s going to do nothing. Remember that old screenshot of a Steam group “Boycott Modern Warfare 2 - we want dedicated servers!” Where almost everyone is currently playing MW2?

I think this whole piece is just a collection of lazy cliches. - Rug pull scam What's going to happen when the AI companies jack up prices 20x to meet API prices? 1: they won't, because they'll get their lunch eaten immediate

Rebuttal to what? I’m complaining that it’s a totally pointless comment that could be used on any AI related post. The comment just says “AI is slop garbage that sucks”. What am I going to say to that? Obviously it can’t suck that badly or

I might build a Chrome extension that looks for “AI” in HN submission titles and shows a fake comment at the start saying “AI is all slop garbage that’s total slop and I hate it. AI sucks and it’s slop!” It will save people time reading the

Momentum from Claude Code's success at the start of the year and hype from Fable I think. It seems like most people I know have switched back to GPT-5.6 (which I find gives much results than Fable, you get more usage), but I imagine th

“Claude avoids saying "genuinely", "honestly", or "straightforward"” That’s interesting- they tried training the model to be genuine and honest (I’m not sure it actually made it honest), but now it says “genuin

There’s probably already a LibTouchupGl available since 2005, a perfect touchup tool in 83kb, but nobody had heard of it. On the other hand people can just say “ChatGPT do everything” and it can

There are a ton more games now, you could easily get one with similar graphics/gameplay to a 2006 game for much cheaper.

“The noun verbs.” is such an incredibly Claudeish sentence. The other models don’t do that stuff. I’d say it’s actually biggest tell for Claude writing.

More people are probably using stuff like Claude Code, Codex etc from the CLI or desktop apps, meaning they’re actually using more AI and skipping Zed altogether

They were trained on a lot of garbage human-written slop originally, they have to post-train the models so the responses are good. Luckily if you’re an AI company you probably have the whole chat, so it’s easy to categorise it: the user mig

It does, but I don’t think the Ukrainians will get much flak for it. Bombing consumer goods distributors doesn’t worry people as much as bombing food distributors or chemical warfare on farms (eg Agent Orange), and besides that direct strat

I don’t think the slippery slope is a fallacy. If a group makes a change in one direction is it not more likely that they will continue making changes in that direction than if they had not made the initial change?

GPT-Image has that horrible deep-fried look to it. Can't draw anything without looking like it's got grit thrown over the whole image. Nano Banana is much, much better here, it's often hard to tell if it's fake. Apart fr

I think that's literally about 3-4 requests. Fable is ridiculous expensive on API pricing.

Doesn't it say something if 5% of a group are wacko lunatics if, for instance, a random sample of the rest of the population has only 0.5% wackos?

But who are you to decide whether suburban Americans are living the right kind of life? Surely if they wanted to they could move to an apartment in a dense inner-city area. It would be cheaper than living in a large house in the suburbs an

But there must be a ton of generic questions that people ask. Stuff like "What's the capital of country X?" - it's probably at least 10% of queries. Memories, custom instructions etc would invalidate them, but if you can
