It's increased in lockstep here on HN as well. It used to be that I came here for the comments, but more and more the comments are going the way of everywhere else: Inflammatory, polarising, and more and more botted (both automated and

Poe's law gets me again. It's getting really rough these days on HN, I have to admit... My bad. Seems the AI-Protectorate Flagging Brigade managed to parse the sarcasm though.

If it can't even point you to a real product on an existing website, why do you trust it for any other information..?

A single byte change in the input changes the output. The sentence "Please do this for me" and "Please, do this for me" can lead to completely distinct output. Given this, you can't treat it as deterministic even wi

Societies drive people to suicide in general. Families also do. I don't think the solution is to make the world a padded room.

We're struggling with the pollution levels from road dust now though. It's worse in most cities than it ever was with combustion engines. Yes there's lower Co2, but the dust and tire particles are actually more dangerous.

What about the increased pollution from road dust? In Norway this has led to higher pollution levels that are directly dangerous to people and animals than back when we were all combustion vehicles. The heavier EV's are causing genuine

We do and many of us prefer it that way. I’m not on any major social media because I personally consider it asocial — you can’t have that many actual friends or acquaintances. My «social media» is a handful of smaller discord servers and an

Maybe it's ok to create something that isn't for most people. That's how the internet started out. It's only gotten worse the more accessible it became to most people. Maybe it's a good thing to create a split based

This and a lot of similar HN comments, often by fresh accounts, just read like viral marketing. Not least because of the capitalisation. Claude Code sure is great. Claud Code and my Codex reignited my passion for programming. Codex and Clau

This is Hamas' founding document and guiding principles: https://avalon.law.yale.edu/21st_century/hamas.asp Stop spreading lies. Hamas government is not "almost boringly normal".

Now why do you think they’re not competitive? Think about this more than one layer.

How do people keep track of all these versions and releases of all these models and their pros/cons? Seems like a fulltime hobby to me. I'd rather just improve my own skills with all that time and energy

Same as when the EU puts a ton of restrictions on farmers within the EU countries -- Co2, fertiliser requirements, etc. -- making food so expensive to produce many go out of business and the remainder become practically luxury food, and the

It only takes that to be a «nazi» sympathiser huh. And my comment flagged. You might need to go read up on what the nazis were like. I’m in Europe. We _really_ know what the nazis were like — they occupied my country. I live in a street nam

They may be but that doesn’t make them wrong. I don’t keep track of what everyone on any “side” tall about and how many percentages do what. That’s noise. The arguments are valid regardless of who says them.

I'm not right-wing. I'm also not left wing. I don't care what said politicians did. I'm talking about how no EU member country's populace gets a vote in who rules over them from Brussels.
