To play devil's advocate: couldn't people generating AI image/video take the time to consider what they want to generate, decide how to prompt it, ask for edits to have subjects pose certain ways, and specify lighting and col

It turns out people have even mapped individual greens, fairways, bunkers, etc on OpenStreetMap! So you can use that data to generate a yardage book for each course: https://npilk.github.io/openyardage-web/

What if you aren't motivated solely by making money? There will still be new free content created by hobbyists, passionate creators, altruists, etc. (Agree with you more generally.)

It's cute they think 'retail investors' are reading balance sheets in the first place.

Interesting. I had heard that chess players burn a crazy amount of calories during tournament matches, but when I looked it up just now it seems like that isn't true: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/06&

I appreciate the sentiment but can't quite tell who the author is targeting. Is it people who don't even know what HTML is, or those who are technical enough to have considered tradeoffs between web hosting options? For complete b

I'm very eager for subvocalization tech to take off - this, AlterEgo, etc. I have never liked talking aloud to Siri or similar, but I could see using "voice" as an interface for so much more if I could speak silently to my de

Haha, I guess having a troll posting nonstop racial slurs is just part of that old web feel...

I think it implies they are more likely to hallucinate if they don't know the answer . So a big model will return the correct answer more often than a small one, but in the cases where it doesn't, it will be more likely to make s

IMO people in this thread have missed the point. I, too have moved about every two years as an adult (even though I've never had mold problems). Or when I haven't moved, I've made a job change. Perhaps there is something in m

I feel like Arc nailed this perfectly with the vertical tabs and multiple "spaces", and since almost everything happens in-browser these days, this was 99% good enough. I can't understand why more power users don't find

They make custom chips with a model's weights and parameters "hard-coded" which allows for much, much faster inference.

Human-slop is a new one for me. How would you define it? Low quality work written by a human? Human writing that sounds like an LLM? Something else?

Love chatting with an agent via iMessage for the right use case - it feels very natural and human. I hacked my own together with an old laptop and BlueBubbles. How would you compare your offering with Spectrum ( https://photon.cod

I've been using DeepSeek Flash to replace Sonnet once the subscription stopped working. Haven't really noticed a difference, although I don't usually have it doing anything very complicated.

Yep, clearly written by AI. Seems like an SEO-type play where they just have AI do deep research and write these reports on as many categories as possible to get traction. Pretty smart business idea as I imagine people love ragebait about w

I'm surprised people have been getting it to reliably guess names. I have a really hard time getting it to give a specific name (perhaps for privacy reasons?) - maybe I'm not prompting effectively. Interestingly, it is able to rel
