So to clarify: as long as a worker is hourly, they don't deserve any privacy or respect, and can be surveilled at will. That's pretty incredible.

But everyone here has access to the internet and hopefully some really basic deductive reasoning skills.

Those "incredibly bespoke communities" are almost entirely people posting images of a professional/elaborate project, and then asking for feedback in the form of "hey you guys this is the first thing I've ever made

This is a hilariously bad attempt at discrediting the original argument. There's a vast difference between forging a letter and replicating the unique vocal fingerprint of any human being, on demand. I suppose if we approach the point

Right, and I'm sure their "strict process" is something like "we take it down after you notify us and provide proof that the voice is yours".

Did you read the website at all? It discusses that taking a screenshot or adding any other amount of blur, noise, etc isn't a way to circumvent this method.

No matter how many times I've been late for payments in my life, not ONCE have I ever had a human being call me up and demand payment over the phone. It's always a long series of attempts to collect through the mail. Let alone cal

And people don't question these portrayals? That's the surprising part.

Nothing you said contradicts anything the article said. What are you nitpicking, exactly? > The atmosphere does not really have an end. Article clearly doesn't state it has an end. They said 99.9999% is below you. They then say the

The fact that the artist had nothing in mind makes a lot of sense when looking at the paintings. They appear as meaningless noise, and the only thing it evokes in me is disinterest. Knowing that the mind of the artist was intentionally devo

All it takes to be a master is to not use line-by-line tutorials? What's someone like John Carmack then if not a master? I guess everyone's a master!

So following your response here and your original comment directly comparing ChatGPT to a human with schizophrenia: are schizophrenics non-people? According to you, the bot "literally comes across like a schizophrenic off their meds&qu

I had the same response. And beyond the motivation factor, the second response was, "I suppose I could test it myself, but I'm not uploading a picture of my screen to a strange website"

This isn't a competition. They aren't in a classroom where the professor is asking a trick question. This person wants to hire someone who can spot the bug, understand it, and propose solutions. Who cares if the candidate comes fr

This sounds like a reasonable approach, with an explanation on how you personally execute it. The top comment is just a statement, and a very odd one at that, given the context of the original question.

Did last time you check, you saw that Carmack open sourced every single one of his game engines along the way?

So the top comment/advice on HN about how to avoid information overload is to collect a list of information to remind you to stop addictively collecting information. Sounds about right.

This is the entire basis of the article. Use the word "mathematical" where convenient to sound smart, but never come close to defining the word. Sprinkle in a whole bunch more of these opinions-masquerading-as-facts, and there you

I love when a series of opinions is presented as rules. It really lets you know how important the author believes they are!

This was a great experiment. It obviously doesn't rule anything out or confirm anything, but one possibility is that the apps cache this information and only send it out during their regular communication frequency as part of the packe

What about the data would require an expert to reconstruct? They have the simulated flight path. It's very similar to the final flight path of the real plane.

What's with so many of these comments being flabbergasted that there's a switch in the cockpit that can cause harm to everyone on the plane? Do you realize you're entrusting two people in the front of the plane with your life

Are you also astounded that the pilot controls the plane with a "kill everyone" lever? One that if they push forward for long enough will kill everyone on the plane? But also, _not_ using the lever during landing would also kill e

Sometimes this is true. But sometimes the limiting factor really is the student. In my own experience I've seen fellow students put in less than half the effort I did (I watched them copy homework assignments in groups 30 minutes befor

At the end of the year, someone will make a generic post on HN asking what my predictions for 2024 are. And I will again wonder why it made it to the front page of HN.

It's easy to see this behavior when it comes to the flood of gym memberships that coincide with the new year. Everyone simultaneously decides, "THIS is the year I finally get in shape!". Right. Except by March all of these pe

This is one of those things that seems interesting/meaningful until you give it more than 10 seconds of thought, and then you realize this is just how life works. I could whip up an infinite amount of articles explaining how I "Fo

Noted. I guess in the future I will continue to look for things made in 2003, because this is entirely useless for any actual circuit simulation and/or design. Looks great if you're trying to impress some of your beginner friends,

I'm sure you're correct, as the whole thing reads like "look how smart I am". 1. Extraneous details about satellites not being overhead at night -- as if government spy satellites operate on the same schedule with the sa
