Did you actually read the linked discussion before jumping in to argue? Your questions have already been answered.

I find their explanation to be completely reasonable. As they clearly explained, giving you the choice to swap the RAM chips would create broader systemic problems that would lead to bad customer experiences and a support burden for their o

I mean, the stuff that's in the video is not really under Google's control. Are you suggesting that the burden should be on channel owners to upload variations of their videos that don't include sponsor blocks? That's a

What's the cost (broadly speaking, not in your specific case) of doing the same work an LLM would have done without the LLM though?

This is a weirdly reductive take. There are plenty of areas where a "low bar" is more than enough. "low" doesn't necessarily mean bad here, it can simply mean "not the best". I would argue the majority (in

There's a bit of transparency in the lion head, is that an artifact of the splat itself or the renderer?

That's an interesting point about preventing the spoofing of system prompts and windows.. These were very handy in simpler times but I definitely see why we don't want them around these days.

Surprised there was no mention of the old system theme colours (that I think still work in some browsers but are long-deprecated): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/V... I u

100% agreed. I'm definitely not making excuses for malice here (as I said in another thread, I think I wasn't clear enough in my original post).. I think there should be much harsher punishments for PII mishandling, no matter why

Uhh. I think you misread my comment pretty badly here. I am not making excuses for anyone. I am saying that it's less likely to be some evil machination that led to the misuse of my data and more likely to be negligence or incompetenc

I came to the comments to see the discussion and almost all of them are just complaining about LLM-assisted writing. It's exhausting and tedious, like people nitpicking grammar. It's also off-topic. I'd love it if HN banned

That's fair, I guess I was really reacting to the narrow gatekeeping-like case the OP was advocating, where time spent/invested - or only doing things a certain way - was correlated to legitimacy and being able to claim you "

I never said that. I said I don't want to see change for change's sake. If you can come up with a better experience and it's a worthwhile change that materially improves the product, I will take it of course. On the software

Really? You care about some stranger's work and how they created it? Pro tip: you shouldn't. Care about your work if you want, but "caring" about how someone else makes things and how they talk about it is just being a

I think you're being pedantic to the point of losing all credibility. And you're gatekeeping in the worst possible way. Your argument that using an LLM means you didn't "make" a thing could just as easily be used t

That said one could argue that phones are now "solved" and the idea of iterating and changing just for the sake of changing is unwelcome. Much like laptops? I don't want my next phone to be something I need to figure out all

I suspect that instead of treating the US as a bully, and pushing back, we are treating the US as a troll, and just looking away instead. We'll go trade with other countries and stop giving the troll the attention it craves.

This would not be enforceable. Do you understand the scale of Youtube? Also why would YT get involved in the content of videos themselves, beyond legal moderation requirements? That's a slippery slope in itself, and it would just lead

What you pay(paid) for cable TV was never enough to actually cover the total cost of the service you were receiving. You were splitting that cost with the advertisers. This is not a defence of advertising, just a reality check on this bad e

For sure, I was not implying ELK was a replacement, it's just been good to me for some types of flowcharts that get messy with the standard Dagre layout ... Excellent work on Line9 BTW, it looks fantastic. :-)

FYI for any new or casual Mermaid users, it comes with a built-in alternate layout called `elk` that I find does a much cleaner job on complex flowcharts. See docs here: https://mermaid.ai/open-source/config/layout

2M lines of code is 15 people committing ~26k lines of code per year (~100 lines per working day) for 5 years. 15 people is a pretty small startup, what if this is a 50-person startup? Doesn't seem like that much to me, depending on wh
