I'm struggling to see what made you think these answers came from other users. They're unrelated to your question, but they're still pretty clearly generated content. The blog post info-bullet style of talking is trademark AI

One bit of small feedback - I would say your landing page is very busy, it could use some more space separating content once you start scrolling down past the top part.

I strongly disagree. You could find a thousand headlines of executives making market predictions that were completely wrong. This is a total illusion. Two years? Man that's an eternity. Imagine making a two-year prediction in 1999 (dot

As if he isn't just guessing like anyone else. When can we stop printing headlines about random people's stock market predictions? There should be a website that gathers these headlines for display along a timeline of various econ

I think to build "truly intelligent" machines, what you need above all else - and which I never hear discussed - is want . Everything about natural intelligence derives from the organism's wants - we want food, we want saf

I'm interested in why this is an HN post. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be, but I'm curious what other people find interesting about it since I don't see anything here besides an ordinary update from a game

As someone who didn't read the book, the dune adaptation felt pretty hollow. A lot of visual splendor, but a very thin story with very empty characters. Extremely shallow interactions.

Could anyone be so kind as to comment a tl;dr of this one? I am curious but it was very long and I haven't the time at this moment.

I'm a bit confused - this doesn't look like a quick tool built to solve one issue - this links to what appears to be a whole company with many sophisticated products. You did this all yourself?

Probably that flatten has a near-universal meaning across many programming languages, and flat is so close to flatten as to have its meaning be almost implicitly clear, whereas smoosh has absolutely zero precedent and its behavior would be

I have to say the fact that I was able to figure out how the puzzle worked - what I was meant to do - with no instructions in about 60 seconds is a good sign. I'm also immediately kind of addicted to this....I really like it. The one t

I'd like to share my approach to React state management, because after a decent amount of industry experience I've stumbled onto a solution I find to be very excellent. Firstly, I use the open source library Pullstate[1], which I

Nah, this story is just exceptionally good. Asimov was a fine writer, but this story was his crowning achievement in short fiction and he knew it too. You can read his other things and none of them will give the same feeling. Nightfall is

I don't see the profit in trying to catch them on a small and clearly not meaningful technicality in their phrasing. Genuine question, do you truly feel the commenter is a racist, and you just stepped in and called them out successfull

I was kind of sad for me, to be honest. Between the ages of 18-26 or so I was a really big Elon Musk fan. It's hard to deny the exciting technological progress made by Tesla and SpaceX on many fronts and I hugely bought into the idea t

Well, I have two options going forward: 1. Despite my bad experience, recommend suicide hotlines in the hopes that they work even though they didn't for me. 2. Recommend against suicide hotlines while explaining why and cautioning that
