The problem is that they promise to delete IDs but then don't, and get hacked, and then all that personal information is published to the dark web for nefarious purposes. If you need evidence, it just happened again to 70,000 Discord u

Yeah this isn't the solution we need. We need to ban addictive dark patterns on ALL platforms for ALL ages.

Agreed. I think we need to ban addictive dark patterns on ALL platforms for ALL ages.

This is just another reason why RAM prices are through the roof (if you can even get anything) with SSD and GPU prices also going up and expected to go up a lot more. We won't be able to build PCs for at least a couple years because AI

Which models are you referring to when you say "they"? I regularly use chatGPT 5.2 for translating to multiple languages, and have checked the translations regularly with native speakers and most stuff is very spot-on and take int

Got any more info about this?

Also they are often prescribed as a life-long solution, instead of a temporary stop-gap to get through some bad state of mind while, as you said, "tackling the root cause". At some point they will potentially stop working which re

It's not gonna get cheaper either, all AI companies are still losing tons of money overall, and so prices will need to keep increasing (or they will all follow OpenAI's lead to add ads).
129.
by lossyalgo 9mo ago
Yeah but OpenAI is adding ads this year for the free versions, which I'm guessing is most of their users. They are probably hedging on taking a big slice of Google's advertising monopoly-pie (which is why Google is also now all-in

It may be a tedious job to spend days rotoscoping but I personally know people who get paid to do that, and as soon as AI can do it, they will have to go find other work (which they already do, on the side, because the writing is on the wal

We won't even need to have meetings (or managers) in this happy AI future, because AI agents will be doing everything, so we can all sit at home watching TV because UBI will become mandatory (I hope you are right about puppies but some

Bankrupt? I didn't read about any financial penalties in that article. The board fired him back in 2020 when they found out, and then he blamed 2 IT people. Instead, he got 3 months suspended sentence (in a Finnish jail, which is not e

You don't remember when people were generating private keys and tokens using github copilot in the early versions? I'm not sure if they ever completely fixed the issue, but it was a bit scary.

And yet in the US 40,000 people still die on average every year. Per-capita it's definitely improving, but it's still way worse than it could/should be.

That may be true to some extent but I am still often able to find some kind of answer, granted it's often just "NO, Apple doesn't do this".

Then we would have zero support, or they would shut down the forums entirely. Or are you implying that the companies would be forced to finally offer official support?

Yeah but how much faster is hardware since then? M.2 SSDs, lots more GHz + cores, fast GPUs, etc. Everything is way faster and should more than make up for those security checks IMO.

That's because TPM 2.0 module allows M$ to uniquely identify you and sell your info to advertisers - it's not an actual technical limitation, it's just because M$ is greedy, and it's a shame they aren't punished by

I use WinAmp 2.0 sometimes which was released in 1996. I prefer to use v5 but I like to show friends that such old software still works fine (even Shoutcast streaming works fine).

Even WinAmp 2.0 from 1998 still runs on Windows 11.

Searching for things via the Start menu is also totally hit or miss, on 5 different PCs that I regularly use, especially trying to open "Add or Remove Programs" (as described in an earlier comment).
142.
by lossyalgo 10mo ago
I love when it takes 3 minutes to open "Add or Remove Programs" because the Start menu search decides that typing a, ad, add, r, re, remove, unin, install, etc. definitely means "let me Bing that for you" instead of open

I also still have tons of issues waking from sleep mode on various PCs running Win10/11 so I wouldn't be so quick to label it an OS issue.

And then Signal removed SMS support so we're stuck with Gogole's crap.

You left off this part: > It takes some practice to enable this exchange when you don’t feel desperate. Which to me means that he had to fake the reciprocity.

You should try again sometime. I try to pick up hitchhikers when I get the chance (I rarely drive) and always get to hear some truly interesting stories - I have yet to regret picking someone up.

Shopify's CEO just posted the other day that he's super productive using the newest AI models and many of the supportive comments responding to his claim were from CEOs of AI startups.

That's nice of them! Too bad they don't offer repair for other speaker systems that are out of warranty, nor do they sell components for other repair shops to fix speakers that are out of warranty.

The current socio-political climate is actually making this analogy less US-centric by the day :( edit: I'm specifically referring to people losing their jobs and similar retaliations due to being on the left, or making public statemen

Hopefully YCombinator can afford to pay for the constant caching of all HN comments. /s :)
