I... don't know how I feel about this. I mean, the concept, sure, good idea. Is it reliable ? Perhaps. But... I get a "buy merch" popup the moment I open the page, and there seems to be a pro option for what seems to be a ve

The thing is, it doesn't even have to be PG/HN doing this. Case in point, look at reddit being astroturfed by every company. And also, look how good Graphene OS posts do, and now compare that to Stop Killing Games. These both have

True, but there's that 10% posts where there's (eg) a good cancer breakthrough, and it's two guys going back and forth on the methodology adding a lot of comments. Not always, but not never either. I really wish there was a w

I mean, both can be true at the same time. For a slightly controversial example, look at Kanye. If you knew him before he got off his rocker (especially the 2000s), he was a very different person than who he has become today.

The list is quite similar in NL too tbh.

Depends on your phone, but for some qualcomm devices there was a vulnerability some time ago, iirc the OnePlus 15 has a dedicated thread on XDA. I also found this on XDA while trying to find the other exploit: https://xdaforums.c

Now that you mention it, it does make some sense that with the rising prices (especially for ram) (and maybe with LLMs?) it’s cheaper to use basic hardware and put “more effort” on efficient code (an LLM’s effort, of course).

There's scope for an incredibly cheeky joke about AI here... but I'll hold myself back :)

Nah sorry my bad. I mixed up "it's currently disabled" and "the hardware is there" into "it was earlier disabled".

To clarify, regarding the confusion: it was disabled , leading them to think it didn't outright exist. Why disabled? Well, its performance is apparently quite poor. But why? ...Apparently to save money.

Mini tangent: Could someone explain to me why Qubes is used for security, when (from what I understand) Jails on BSD is significantly more robust/safe/has a much smaller exposed area? Is it just "everyone's using linux a

Thanks for the links! I'd been searching (futilely!) for that HN post, I knew I'd seen it and wanted to use it for my framework too. If you haven't watched the video btw, I highly recommend it. It's quite amazing how muc

I'm curious too. As a T1 diabetic, I suspect it's T1, as it can kill (much) "more easily/faster", but that's just my guess.

You're giving too much credit to people. The folks who run an LLM council aren't the ones blindly copy pasting things. There's responsible AI use (which I think you - and I, and many people here) do, and the "I don&#x2

I'd been saying "there's geopolitical/hidden reasons" for ages . The very first one for me was when Apple did that CSAM stunt. Fortunately the outrage was enough for them to peddle back, but it was such an out-of-l

That's a fascinating (if not somewhat disappointing) thing to learn! To be honest I'm not a Bible scholar, I had asked claude for the full version of "ask and you shall receive" (apparently Mathew 7:7). I guess Claude so

Oh, for sure. I'm well aware about lyrics copyright, or how even google iirc was sued after a company purposely put wrong lyrics and could prove google was scraping it. I'm not doubting the law. What I am saying, is, when a use

Oh, and if that wasn't enough, I've had Claude refuse to cite the freaking Bible . The famously copyrighted piece of text that definitely isn't intended to have its word spread.

I've asked claude for a translation of a song with Brazilian Portuguese lyrics, and claude has very helpfully gone out of its way to say that due to legal reasons, it will never share the actual lyrics with me. It's fun when you
