Its scary how many things Trump says, claims that are roughly equivalent to, "1 + 2 = 4", which people just eat up as truth! It feels like all the deficets in our education system (going back decades) are finally coming to roost.

The popularity of these drugs is specifically from the FDA-approved "weight loss" indication. You're at least a few years behind. I would also think the many many years when it was only prescribed for diabetes would have yiel

there is a lot of disdain for vibe coding/coders, as Im sure you already know. I was going to post something similar as soon as I read a week and a half of prompts. I pray that any gainfully employed expert coders don't spend 10 d

haha, triple simultaneous posts.... but that doom kill game isn't really the same as gamifying resource management. I would really want to see a gamified process monitor as well.

Whoa Kevin Rose bought it back? Interesting. Also... bring back TechTV lol

Haha, now that's DEFINITELY true. The amount of machines some people own, especially machines that revolve entirely around sampling, but amount to being essentially 500 dollar toys is astonishing....

Considering this is a post from NextDNS themselves, showing off a NEW and awesome feature.... It doesn't seem abandoned? You don't seem to have even looked at the description lol

Ive had massive amounts of trouble convincing people that pornography is just the tip of the iceberg. That's why it's such an effective tool for broaching massive-scale surveillance: the architects of these laws have said that the

Oh yeah, that IS a good point, this verification technique is even stupider than CC number validation in the late 90s! Then again, these laws aren't about censoring children's access, they're about censoring EVERYONE'S a

Haha, despite the 1000s of instances where it DOESNT simulate correctly. Very specifically chosen 10000-shot generated videos show somewhat impressive fluid physics... And even then, it MUST be something it's seen before. Diffusion is

Frankly, that is all just speculative, once again. AI is hitting a significant roadblock. Look at how disappointing GPT-5 was. No amount of compute is ever going to match the hype matching those quotes. The C-suite who don't realize ho

So, an ai generated psuedo-game engine with a majority of users under the age of 13? I'm sure that WILL make a lot of money. Those of us who didn't grow up playing Roblox will find this comparison impossibly stupid. Some what rela

Hmmm.... But many pieces of cutlery can still be used to cut... Haddock would be exceedingly hard to cut anything with. IPSO FACTO! HADDOCK IS THE OPPOSITE OF A KNIFE!

Jesus, when did commenters on neowin get so stupid? Thank God I'm back to the safety of HN.... Weren't they a slightly subversive tech site a decade or so ago?

Right? Came to the comments specifically for this, but am confused by people's responses. With prompt adherence this bad, is it worth the 2 cents you spent on it? I don't see how it's even useful for deciding if you want to u

I mean, did you really expect anything more from the internet? Maybe I'm wrong, but hentai, erotic roleplay, and nudify applications seem to still represent a massive portion of AI use cases. At least in the case of ero RP, perhaps the

This is pretty anecdotal, but it feels like most of the published rails source code you find online (and by extension, an LLM has found) is from large, stable, and well-documented code.

I've fotgotten: Did Napster eventually open up to sharing videos and software after MP3s? I can't remember if I'm just conflating it with memories of Kazaa (I was only 10 or 11 years old at the time, my memory is fuzzy lol).

I think that was the first R rated movie I saw as a child (and probably the first movie I pirated, on pre-P2P networks). The grand wisdom of the Geto Boys (sic) has stuck with me ever since. "The type of chicks that'd double up o

There's also the option of running sentiment analysis on social media posts, easily allowing placing individuals on a left-to-right scale of political leaning.

I feel like I keep seeing one million checkboxes guy's experiments, and I wonder.... Where is the monetization? Is this just a FANGAM engineer with a lot of free time? Am I just beaten down by the SWE landscape of 2025?

Not really a "word nerd" situation. It's a really obvious typo. Might as well have said, "tee hee, I'm, like, autistic for words".
