Whatever the solution is they'd better get to it because I'm not going to subscribe to every site that wants 20/month just because it shows once on HN or in search results.

I just gave up and edit the comments manually. However, I've had a surprise today. I had it fix something then went and reduced one of the 3 line comments to 4 words. Then for some reason I told the bot to reload the source, it offered

You can read books on an iPad without distractions just fine. Just turn off all notifications...

And even if you don't use a screen reader, how about search? Reader mode? Saving for later? Oh and lynx/links...

Eh, just because the likes of Anthropic are only threatening you with their latest model, it doesn't mean older models can't do exploits...

For fun: If you insist on talking about the chatbots in human terms, why do you expect them to have any ethics when the companies that trained them don't understand the term "ethics"?

So ... no more paying for OpenRouter with cards that support 2FA? Heard it's too hard to implement with Stripe.

Besides the privacy implications, they are also wasting our fucking batteries on this crap...

Yeah, while reading I was thinking "why does he call it a MUD and not a text adventure"?

They're also headquartered in Australia, which is very friendly, privacy wise, with the US isn't it? If you're not in one of those places and you want to move from gmail you might as well pick a safer jurisdiction.

What isn’t clear to me is why the article this one is a reply to is complaining that there is a third alternative for CPUs. Even if it’s not as advanced as the other 2. Would they like a world where Intel is the sole CPU supplier? We were c

The "AI" spam is significantly more prevalent than the blockchain spam used to be, but HN has always had its spam waves. Blockchain is all but dead, even the "i've rewritten this thing, it has far less features but it&#x

It's a court of law after all, not Anthropic/OpenAI. A bit more credible.

It's right there in the article. A clerk wondered why there was so much white space. They don't use LLMs at that court.

by nottorp 2mo ago
Yep, why keep up? I browse the HN titles daily. Even comment quite a bit. But I still don't click on 95% of the stories and if the "AI" spam makes me miss something interesting it's okay, life goes on. Incidentally that&

I switched back to 4.8 because 5 simply seemed to create a lot more work for itself for no good reason. And the results didn't seem different, at least for the project I'm using it on.

Last time i tried to skim through a longer video on non ad blocked youtube i got two ads every time i skipped. Ended up watching more ad than video... at least until half way through it when I gave up. And even if you watch one without skip

It's only logging if an obsolete human does it. But the future is here and thus it's called "Agentic causality's reified temporal traceability."

Wait, but 95% of "content" on Facebook is an ad. So what would be left if you blocked all ads? :)

Delphi and Qt are dead for companies that do not have at least one lawyer on retainer, so it's partially true.

Well if you were familiar with Delphi the VB magic broke when you tried to make your own components for the designer. I went the same path and it was a bit of a shock when I found out i have to fire up Visual C++ to do a custom VB button.

Browser version eats about as much ram sadly. It’s not only about the Chrome dlls but also about the memory leaks, needlessly loaded resources etc etc.

"Apps users love, made with Electron". Seriously? They use those apps either because of network effects or because there are few alternatives.
