Very cool concept, although I think the leaderboard is more about network latency than anything else...

Although I'm anti AI-image-gen (wouldn't there be CC0 images of these species?) this is really quite a charming little project. I feel like I don't hear many bird calls in the city where I live, but maybe I'll have to se

This is really getting ridiculous - although people sometimes dismiss the "missing" status page because it includes copilot, it's worth noting that pull requests (95.5%) are even lower availability than copilot (96.4%). How a

Almost refreshing to see some good old-fashioned schizoposting, which usually doesn’t end up on HN.

Really interesting response to Google's Stitch - and seemingly a better alternative given some of the features shown in the video. If everything actually works at least close to how it's advertised, this'll be useful. I'

Obviously the discussion here is mostly about writing code. In that domain, I’m always of two minds on this sort of thing. Although I think everyone would agree that material cognitive decline is bad, I also think we have to be precise with

Some nice tips in here ([field: SerializeField] for example) - but as others note, it's not about modern code, as many of these features have been available for an embarrassingly long time. It's always felt to me that there's

Die tests must be 100% accurate and follow the best known clinical procedures. Humor is not optimal.

I don’t think there’s a reliable system or API for doing so, unclear that arms race will ever favor the side of the detectors. As far as how I / other people do it, there are some obvious styles that reek of LLMs, I think it’s chatgpt.

Unfortunate, but as others point out, quality was on the decline for a while now. That said, I use their iteration of Holy Pandas on every keyboard I can. Wish I had hoarded some when they were still available.

We should at least get a free 10-pull for this interruption.

The text on the home page appears LLM-generated (em dashes, is real) which imo will make it harder to build trust. For something that people are sensitive and confused about, a more human disposition is likely to be helpful. Just my two cen

Yeah this sort of obvious AI-posting needs to be obliterated, especially in this case where there’s no source code. Could just as easily be malware.

Seems like the xkcd [1] for internet infrastructure that was posted earlier [2] should have github somewhere on it, even if just for how often it breaks. Maybe it falls under "whatever microsoft is doing" [1]: https://w

Unfortunately obviously written with AI - overly focused on everything being 'meaningful', 'real', 'actual', etc.

"is real" is another big red flag, go search this in comments. There appear to be at least three accounts posting direct LLM outputs. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

If you told me this was satire, I might respond that it's too on-the-nose. I really doubt that Spotify would be happy that their logo is front-and-center here.

I don't understand this comment at all - it's very obviously written about personal experience with development, doesn't read like it was written with AI, and the sentiment is nice. Sure, the projects mentioned aren't th

Glad the snippet is == 1, this problem drives me extra insane when it doesn't handle the zero case. Not only has my upload failed for some mysterious reason, I have successfully uploaded zero item!
