HTML is not relevant here. I think the problem is that LLMs are qualitatively different. "No code" tools are usually just tools. They have the pitfalls you describe, but they aren't ego stroking machines like LLMs. LLMs not o

I asked the person responsible for a new integration at work (nominally a Director level person, with a bit of title inflation going on) about a feature that didn't do what we wanted. They answered with something that looked to be AI s

There was an insightful post here on HN, a few weeks ago, about "AI hygiene". One of the recommendations is: never share raw AI output with anyone. It's like showing your dirty underwear. Show them your distillation, your fin

Is this a similar project to the existing Pico8?

Thanks, I'll pay attention. To be honest I never run anything without me in the same room or the next one, so I should be safe.

I hate to victim-blame because it's wrong, uncalled for, and also everyone has these kinds of lapses of reason and trip up. It happens to all of us. That said, these job interviews aren't therapy sessions; they are roleplaying gam

I think there's zero excuse to be rude to candidates, and the 101 of interviewing is to make it as comfortable as possible for the candidate and not hurrying them up when they are thinking (which wouldn't rememble real work anyway

Obviously not. Wow, that sucks. Thankfully my HP laser printer doesn't.

I mean, I mentioned Steam and Proton, every game works now and you don't have to do anything. What's less "terminal user" than that? I suggest you try it now, I think you're stuck on outdated knowledge.

Today's inkjet printers charge mandatory subscriptions and lock you to their supplies? If so, much has changed since I owned one. I know they always scare you into buying their things, but never locked you into it. My HP laser (not in

We Linux desktop people aren't fighting our desktop anymore. Everything just works and it has for some years now. Linux with Steam + Proton is a better gaming platform than MacOS, by the way. The Year of the Linux Desktop arrived a whi

I don't know about other brands or even models, but I can attest that the Bambu A1 Mini "just works". I precisely wanted to avoid another hobby, of which I have too many already. 3D printing as a hobby doesn't appeal to

You wouldn't be able to open it and keep it open flat against the textbook though, not without the teacher noticing. It simply doesn't work, now that the author has acknowledged they used AI to spruce up their blog post, we can ag

I found this odd too. And the notion you could hide a Pratchett pocket book inside an open textbook. Anyone who has read Pratchett, or knows pocketbooks, knows this wouldn't work. They are voluminous (regardless of their name) and won&

The parent post meant it as praise. Why the snark?

by the_af 5mo ago
I don't think the parent commenter is arguing that living in feudal Japan was cool, or idealizing it. They are just saying Japanese history is fascinating, which it is. Just like ancient Roman is fascinating, or ancient Greece, but I w

South Korea is partly replacing Japan with this Western idealization, right? Kpop, K-everything. And it's also a dying country, like you said. And also a mirage, the K-pop phenomenon which looks cool from the outside is all about explo

Ridiculous. This isn't a court and we're not arguing a legal point, we're arguing the use of "ours" in a non legal context. I didn't even claim the hair splitting was "obscure", I claimed this is a ha

You're splitting hairs not worth splitting. AA is clearly talking about their hosting, and their hosting costs. Not about owning the data. "Our data" is informal language: you know it, I know it, the companies or people scrap

> Why would they tell the LLM exactly how to download all their files in bulk for free? Isn't that the opposite of the self-preservation they're trying to do? The goal of AA is to spread the data for free, not to gatekeep it.

Unlike Spotify, AA is a nonprofit. It's more urgent for them to prevent costly extraction of data. Spotify can do this too, if they so wanted. It's not about consent, obviously AA is infringing. BTW, why did you create a last minu

Yes, I think it's a bit annoying (to me, because I dislike meme-speak) but it's not unrealistic for the character. But, to be frank, I think it's also Andy Weir's style, because memes and pop culture references pop up ev
