I too was strongly inspired by the ideas that CSS Zen Garden was promoting, even if little to none of the real world work looked or worked like that. Always weird to see what posts really bring out the negativity on HN, but pay that no mind

I get the sentiment, but what if it was the difference between not getting the thoughts out there and being able to celebrate the fruits of their labor? It's okay to exercise nuanced views (as well as choosing to say nothing.)

Surely, SOMEone at these companies realized training LLMs on the content of the internet (namely the vast amount of comment sections) would result in such outcomes. Or at least that they should weight heavily against that content for purpos

If only there was a way to find out the truth. But who has the appetite for that these days? Or the appetite for the effort required? The irony of this comment can even be found in the post itself: > ...the magazine’s fortunes soared by

What you're describing more often applies to retail and service workers whose pay provides little incentive to do more than the absolute minimum to maintain employment. Whereas it seems this might be a situation where the situation is

The chances of being struck by lightning are exceedingly slim. But if you're venturing out on a mountain top in early summer your odds skyrocket. So shouldn't we widely inform people who are doing so of the dangers and what to be

I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall throughout the various discussions as this idea made its way across the Apple org. That this was the dominant topic during the keynote of their annual developer event doesn't seem

You complain about oversimplification, then in the same breath complain about "random political stuff" being included. How is that not hypocritical, at best? This medical breakthrough would literally have not been possible without
