Crazy that these labs keep throwing around entirely unsubstantiated claims like "AGI is right around the corner". Given the enormity of the problem I'd argue we're not really any closer than a decade ago, especially give

Woof, that page is hard to read. I don't understand what they've done to the way text is rendering but it's not great for my eyes.

Golf courses are not green spaces, come on now. They are most often limited in their access and devoid of greenery native to the area or that supports pollinators. Grass does not equal green space, and certainly not the flavor of green that

As a longtime RED user, I can say I've not done anything other than just download what I want and let it sit for a while, uploading maybe a couple dozen items, and I've never come close to having a problem. I think you're fig

I would encourage you to reflect on what you think "woke" is, and why things that you think are woke are mutually exclusive from the skills and qualities you value. "Woke" is a nonsense scare phrase at this point, when w

If you can't understand the utility of having welcoming and creative/tenacious people involved in your science (which your questions listed are asking about) then you are not nearly the expert in qualifications you think you are.

The US seems hellbent on destroying its own economy, immigrants have always played a key part in it. Looking forward to Trump yelling about how the radical left has somehow undermined the US economy in a few months.

I don't understand why we're supposed to be impressed by these achievements. We've made mechanical things that can outdo humans for decades, putting it into the form factor of humanoid does nothing for it.

PowerAmp is an incredible app, used it and loved it before. I have a self-hosted streaming setup, so I've personally found Symfonium (1) to be my go-to. I'm glad things worked out for the author with this setup, and honestly the h

The cameras have categorically not helped with investigation, as is shown time (1) and time (2) and time (3) again. This is just a vibe that supporters like and Flock loves to spin data however it can to support their continued expansion. A

This is a response to Zuck's AI manifesto, how it misrepresents the future AI presents, and how he can't even properly hide where his true interests lie.

Fastmail is fantastic, I've been a very happy customer for at least a couple years now. Masked emails have been so nice for throwaway/sketchy sites. It's done everything I could ask, would highly recommend for anyone lookin

I don't have an account, and I'm sure you're aware of the litany of reasons a person might not want an account to the NCII and slur generator site.

Jesus, being logged out on Twitter is a comically bad experience at this point. Can't view replies past the first one, click into anything, and now there's a big animated emoji pointing at a button? Miserable site, truly.

Only somewhat related, but I find it disconcerting to just have screenshots of LLM output in the middle of an essay, especially without alt-text. Not a good reading experience imo.

Hi all, I wrote a blog post about how "prediction markets" are undeniably gambling. Dodging the label lets them get away with incredibly harmful things, and avoids a harder society-wide conversation about how toxic integrating gam

Hi all, pleasantly surprised to see my own article posted to HN before I did! I did space to push anything out about this for the most part, so thank you to speckx. Anyway, happy to see the understanding reception here, I think it's wo

Disappointing to see AI used in what otherwise seems to be a well-intentioned project. As an adult I think some of these graphics are confusing at best and I question your familiarity with the subject matters to actually check whether or no

"Skill" with an LLM is nonsense. It's non-deterministic, so any equal efforts are not to be given equal outcome.

Projects like this are truly baffling to me, the point of journaling is in part the reflection, which you offload to the AI system in this case. You spew what thoughts and feelings you want at it and ask it to tell you how to feel, or how g

It seems entirely fair to me that you can't wager against something that you directly had a hand in the outcome of, even accepting the bunk premise that these wagers are legal in the first place. So much outrage nowadays is driven by a

Interesting move to have ASCII represented by something that is decidedly not ASCII. All these AI projects disappoint me in how little they care about getting things right, just looking right.

The assumption that people's problems with Flock don't extend elsewhere is misguided. There's no reason to assume that people are totally okay with Ring and Palantir especially, just that Flock is the most galling of the rece

I'm struck at how brutal it is to be a woman in even pseudo-progressive tech spaces at times. How talking the talk does nothing if HR and leadership quickly and quietly work to undermine at all and make life hell. The HR line of "
