I found the essay quote, > We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technolo

AI-written :( But if true the thesis as I understand is: Oracle is dependent on OpenAI, and so is on shaky ground. I skimmed the article but struggle to read through the Claude-isms to whatever it's trying to say. It's not as bad

Sometimes I wonder what testing these giant companies do for features. A week ago Facebook's language translation broke. Results come back in the original language or a mix. How could no-one notice?

Interesting but the Claude-written essay could have been half the length had a human spent time on it. It even notes right at the end that Claude wrote it. I applaud the honestly but do wish for a bit more respect for the reader's time

Is this some kind of fictional scenario? The front page does not make it clear. 'This is the story of...' sounds like a historical review.

Isn't that a mischaracterisation of the goal and the actual implementation? Avoiding social networks is restricting away from unhealthy spaces, not preventing social interactions per se.

That was a tough read, but in all the verbiage I do not see it identifying the same code or area as the real genuine human on lore.kernel. For those who can understand Claude better than me: did it anywhere actually identify the issue?

I love the SteamFace Machine UI -- you don't see interfaces made with that level of care and artistry often any more. It looks a really nice library, somewhat surprised I haven't heard of it before, but glad it's getting upvo

We released CodeBot, which is an AI agent specifically for Delphi, yesterday.[0] So not widely applicable (yet) for most readers. However, we've been pretty open with its data. I hadn't realised reading this how many problematic p

Question for lawyers of HN. Is there legal liability for this? I can’t help thinking if I casually blogged about a computer or software I was responsible for hacking into multiple organizations and exfiltrating data I would invite some form

"stressed" [8..1] desserts Beautiful. Far more so than Python’s "stressed"[::-1] (which I also think is very neat.) Oddly given the comments on Pascal it reminds me most of Pascal’s range syntax. I love its

> Previous reports suggest it took OpenAI four days to realise... At the speed AI can achieve work, this could be far, far too slow to contain a future genuine problem. There's danger in operating at faster speed than humans.

Every paragraph two lines long max. It feels like it's treating the reader as unintelligent. It's like a hammer every sentence.

I have only lightly tracked this, since I'm not American, but I understand that there's now a strong right-wing focus in 60 Minutes, is that correct? Ross Douthat's Wikipedia page makes him sound strongly religiously conserva

This page [0] didn't read as very AI-generated to me. However, it had an interesting link: > within days of closing a Cornell partner on the new board emailed the CEO to ask, "Is there fraud going on???" (Italicised part

Yes. I switched to Codex some time ago. I feel like I get fewer outages (had one over the weekend), and coding results are good. I built my own agent harness using OpenAI models too and feel it was the right decision.

Very long to read, but highly principled. I feel his desperation. Powerful people can too easily do little, and ignore their consciences. I appreciate he named those he spoke to; it came across as fair, and makes them accountable for what t

I flagged the submission. I saw another comment 'slop'. I'm inclined to agree, or that it's the wrong link, or... something.

I don't either. I clicked on Modal and it showed me info about modals. Below the fold there's a text entry to 'UI element, behavior, or implementation problem'. I thought maybe this was the quiz. I entered: > I click

I like this, but the writeup is so Claude that I suspect the regex was written by Claude too :( Which is a shame, because the 'Doom running on...' space is one of the ones where I treasure articles written by motivated hackers (wh

I’ve written articles in this style. The goal is to be evocative of the story. Simple factual accounts carry less weight than the reader being present in the situation. To remain truthful and accurate you describe factually; it is not count

I found the description of how they moved apartment, but kept the old one with her room, very saddening. I get it - an aversion or a shrine, hard to say, or both I suspect (in grief I have had both feelings at the same time), but I get it.

Troubling, though I see it's a typical internet half-off-topic discussion. What kind of conversation has been present in the chat room?
