Not to do the <- this, thing, but <- this. It is astonishing how many submissions on HN now have a top comment doing the AI sniff test bullshit, usually based upon literally nothing . Aside from being angry gatekeeping assholes, thes

If you're in the Gemini app and want to try it out as a Pro or Ultra user...well you can't. It's only in the weird "Spark" agent that demands you entire Google identity.

Gemini has long watermarked text. No one made them, but they saw the danger of a recursive loop of AI text leading to future model corruption. Anthropic always likes blaming other people and countries for everything they do -- it's in

I guess it's a sign of getting old when I see the world classic and expect Gone With the Wind and Casablanca, but instead the list has Arrival, The Martian, and the Bourne Identity. The Sixth Sense is on the list for the US and it&#x27

Firstly, the upvote please nonsense betrays that you really don't know HN. I post these comments knowing that they're going to get downvoted, and I'm perfectly fine with that given that I'm not a snowflake. HN abhors pol

It pulls no such sleight of hand, and you have invented a wholesale strawman. It's also simply poorly informed. Go is a fantastically enjoyable language to program in. In many ways that has been a bit of its curse compared to languages

The guy with 5 karma after 8 years has thoughts about the problems with HN. Amazing. My comment is undeniable fact. That it offends some people like you is not something you have the right to be protected from.

100%. Clearly you've nailed it, and you should vote for Trump's third term. Let's be real here - when people do the "both parties are the same", usually citing some chickenshit bullshit like you just did, they'

England is a country, and if you're reading this on the BBC they most certainly are using the correct terminology. It is not a sovereign country, but instead is a part of the constituents comprising the UK state.

This is such an amazing take because it is a constant in US politics. Like how in the world did you think it appropriate to pivot like this? The standards for the Democrats are impossible perfection, regardless of the challenges. The standa

Flagging on submissions deranks a submission after some count, making it fall off the first three pages. I think it's a much higher bar (like moderation involvement) to fully make it dead.

Awesome. Good to hear. Rare that someone in that weird cult, acting as the foundation for a garbage group of people to loot and destroy the country, sees the light.

I was incredibly overt, so what is the point of your ridiculous summary? Yes, this administration is unbelievably corrupt -- the pedo rapist felon literally launched a shitcoin and did a rugpull, and sells early access to his insane tweet

The US is a tiny part of the world, however self-absorbed and exceptional it imagines itself. And everyone else is going to continue buying the best options while the US drives it lifted rolls-coal pickups and tells about the olden days.

This move has nothing to do with national security. It, like everything else this administration has done, is protectionism where some groups that have bribed Trump or have his halfwit children as beneficiaries get to move into the vacuum l

It is simply amazing that the "the AI ate my homework" routine works on anyone. Like, a single person out there actually falls for this hilarious nonsense? The AI eating his homework wasn't even the worst of it, and this whol

A more apt analogy is trying to pin global warming on e-scooters. I mean, look at all the e-scooters . And man, they sure are annoying, and e-scooters also use electricity which is sometimes created by non-renewables, ergo ipso facto sum.

A lot of new data centres have been announced in Alberta, Canada. Which is a weird location given that Alberta has a derelict power grid that can barely serve the current load, and runs almost entirely on fossil fuels. Meta, for instance, p

It is extraordinary, but it also was incredibly hard to procure. Most data centres were almost immediately out of instances, and only the original batch of always free land grabbers really got these instances. Which I imagine is what motiva

Ok? That's nice. As someone who adds AI generated images on blog entries (a single context-appropriate genAI image that is used for OpenGraph sharing), I just do not give a shit if some people have opinions like this. Jog on? The vast
