If you think this qualifies as insane, you really haven't met many managers, have you...

One of the problems is that it's hard to tell at first that it's AI music. Probably still hard to figure it out by ear after you've been told. But I think not nearly as many people would choose to listen to AI songs if they k

I'm not the other guy you think I am. I didn't say that. But congrats on finding the one teensy tiny good thing Google has done. I'm sure that exonerates the other 99%. I mean, it's not like they scrapped "don'

Sure actual humans work at Google. These actual humans are actively choosing to continue doing a job that makes the web worse. I don't see how "but they're human!" means automatic forgiveness of their actions.

I'm not advocating for any behavior in particular. It could be anything from telling the company, to saying nothing, to doing something evil with it. It's each individual's choice. I just wanted to reiterate it so the folks i

There's no point in trusting any company's bug bounty programs any more. They all weasel out of paying. Do what you will with the knowledge you find, just know that you will never be dealt with fairly by the companies.

I'm not saying it's your fault, I'm blaming the site. Even the automatic title changer very frequently removes words from titles that completely change the meaning of the title. It's really frustrating.

The HN title limit and automatic title editing is really the stupidest thing I've ever seen, especially for a site that claims to not want editorialized titles. Really ensures the exact opposite happens instead all the time.

Back in the day people used to swap/edit price tags a lot. Also making fake coupons with the same knowledge. It was a pretty common and easy form of shoplifting since all barcodes used to do was just encode the pricing/discount in

W.r.t. repairs I don't think physical keypads have been the main source of difficult or costly repairs. You can easily make a keypad repairable or replaceable without this gimmicky swappable keypad. W.r.t. other style keypads, that&#x2

Can someone explain the appeal of the swappable keypad? I really see no advantage in having this. Just seems like extra engineering for no real reason.

I didn't know about this and that's extremely disappointing. I already bought one bag from them but I guess I doubt I will be buying another.

I am actually glad that YouTube now has Gemini integrated with a little popout section that I can just ask to summarize the video. Half the videos I pass by these days I prefer just a quick summarize and 30s read-through over a half-hour lo

The wording is weird enough that I have to agree. This is the first time I've ever heard spyware segmented using "mercenary" as a qualifier, which is just insanely suspicious.

Mostly yes, I was just pointing out the irony of quoting Bezos as if Amazon isn't exactly the same problem (if not one of the worst of them all).

Except that it's true, they can't. How else are they going to race to the bottom of the minimum number of employees and maximum amount of management bonuses?

Amusing you picked that quote to quote because your job description is a dead ringer for Amazon work culture.

Whenever I see a comment that says "if you don't do the thing in the most efficient way possible, someone else will steal your lunch", I think that people vastly overestimate the likelihood that this will actually happen. It&

I've switched to US Mobile. I haven't used it on an extended basis internationally yet, but I am about to travel internationally, so will find out soon. That said, the reviews are pretty good by people that use it internationally

Except if you happen to travel for more than 45 days, in which case Google Fi will promptly tell you to get fucked and cut off your service without warning, advanced notice, or spelling out anywhere when you sign up. Not my idea of a carrie

They're a small shop compared to the big laptop makers and their focus is on user-repairability. Between those two you are naturally going to have a slightly higher price point than simply buying a laptop from one of the usual companie

I think people do - it's one of the main ways you can reliably spot AI-generated content. M-dashes are so fat they stick out like a sore thumb.

Absolutely not. Why would I ever want to hire a recruiter for anything? When every recruiter thinks it's perfectly okay to ghost candidates and post fake job ads, especially "big tech" recruiters, that's not the stellar

The article title isn't wrong unless you assume that the title implies the employees did in fact contact authorities, but if they did it would read "Open AI raised", not "Open AI employees raised". We all know how m

Do the speeds of a PCIe 5.0 (or now 6.0) meaningfully affect anything for your average consumer? Would games load faster or files transfer faster? Or is this just at super high-end applications and hardware that you'd actually see a di
