why does chatGPT passing tests or interviews continue to make headlines?
all they're proving is that tests, and interviews, are bullshit constructs that merely attempt to evaluate someone's ability to retain and regurgitate information
what's your alternative?
captcha can be solved using cheap services
call it what it is - you're using slave labor in a 3rd world country to solve rudimentary puzzles for you
nice work to whomever archived it in time... the significance of the internet archive is going to grow and grow as the bigots, sleezeballs, and grifters continue to multiply
and yes, i was playing league of legends while typing this monunmental reply
a lot of the pro-reclining comments were definitely indifferent how their actions impacted others
last 2+ years are all you need to realize this is a depressingly consistent theme across civilization today
this is fucked up
manufacturing content from the voices/faces of prominent people that have died is no bueno
fuck podcast.ai
to be a useful browser for a lot of power-users
fair, but in that case they should be showcasing their security and privacy focused initiatives, and their source of angel funding...
otherwise how will it be anything other than spyware crap that funds itself by selling your data??
no group of power users will flock to a new browser without any transparency on the above
am i taking crazy pills?
Arc, which has been in an invite-only beta for more than a year, is trying to rethink the whole browser UI
no one is ever going to dethrone chrome unless they start selling hardware filled with their crapware at a loss solely to suck ppl into the ecosystem and/or start giving away laptops as fast as possible for the same reasons
&
no one is ever going to compete with firefox or brave on UI alone, because the ppl that have the wherewithal to move away from the edge and chrome apps that are thrust upon them with every hardware purchase, care more about if your shit is secure and privacy respecting than if your 'tabs are on the left' :|
he thinks browsers are due for a reinvention — and why he thinks a startup is the best place to do it
ah yes, a loss-leading category of software is best done at cash-strapped startups... wonder where the revenue will come from
exactly what he's getting... menchies in the press and general attention lol
aside from that, he might try to leverage this to appeal to MAGAs for some political play in the future too - the 'white lives matter' shirt shenanigans is further evidence of his desperation for attention & desire to appeal to a certain demographic
then they'll have to raise taxes to offset the reduction in CIA and DEA revenues... i meannnnn, "budgets"
so, yeah, omegalulz at those clowns but how is this offhand twitter comment worthy of a thread on HN?
scary? did you just wake from a 15 year coma?
you store anything in a big-corp cloud, which you haven't personally encrypted, with keys that only you possess, then assume it's all backed up in fed repos (somewhat hyperbolic, especially for non-crims, but not far fetched by any means)
that's neither new, nor news (sadly)
american gov writing about human rights abuses around the world makes me laugh so hard my balls hurt. Thx for the links
I continue to hope that people will vote with their wallets and kill this garbage... but then I remember, look at the current state of 'smart TVs' or even the dying industry of residential printer ... adware bloated fake-limited trash
Govs at a UN-level need to kill this shit... but sadly, capitalism is a core tenant of most UN members, and these scummy tactics generate revenue... so.... I've used a lot of words to 'fuck. we're fucked.'
:(
Wow, sounds like you're poised to be the richest person in the world then. Congrats.
If you're so worried about your ideological-divergent subject matter from being entirely unavailable in the future - why not start an ISP, hosting company, DNS provider, DDoS Protection Racket, Server Farm?
Then YOU could proudly serve the content of those poor under-served souls which you preemptively mourn
Change nameserver and wait for propagation
It's not rocket surgery.
CF is incapable of "taking" any website offline - the only "power" they have, is the choice to not providing free DDoS protection, and/or to stop resolving the site's URL
lol plz see my reply to OP
lol inevitably, the "muh censorship" and the "muh 1FA rights!!!" comments are always the most entertaining, and least informed comments on these subjects
CF has *no power to censor anyone*
Refusing to provide FREE DDoS Protection, and refusing to FREELY CACHE vitriol, are not "censorship"!
Nor are either of those actions an infringement on any American's rights as defined by the 1st Amendment [friendly reminder that there are nations, other than America, in the world]
Sure - CF are not content moderators ... but, neither are they "a public utility provider" ... they are, however, a *for-profit commercial enterprise*, and as such, they get to choose who they DO, or DO NOT, do business with
If you think any of the sites offloaded by CF deserve the free DDoS protection and caching services CF was providing - by all means, spin up some servers and provide it to them yourself - you have that right.
Nothing better than claiming the perks of "being a utility provider" while bearing none of the burdens lol
If CF didn't offer free DDoS protection - ironically, whilst providing cover & protection to the greatest # of DDoS-4-hire websites on the clear-web - they would have nothing else to offer that would be considered best-in-class
But yeah, they're the preeminent force in ensuring free speech on the internet lol
with all due respect - lol
there isn't a fire capable of burning hot enough, to throw every huawei device into
just google the company man, it's a track record that's genuinely hard to believe

WHYYYYYYY is america refusing to invest in, and hasten the adoption of, large scale desalination plants?!
you've got immense coastal regions and those big blue oceans on both sides. invest in your future for once.
thousands of ppl will die this summer
Thousands of people have been dying every week for 2 years, but masks are still taboo and vaccination rates are laughable
Murica’s gonna Murica baby
Exactly this.
Too many people seem to think 'cash deals' in real estate equate to a guy showing up with a louis vutton bag full of 100s that's been collecting dust in their shoe closet
It's just an indication of a lack of nuance in the deal-making, lack of contingencies (i.e. I'll give you $XYZ for your house as soon as I get $ABC for my house - agreed?!)
You can pump for-profit books on HN?
‘Category: Legs’
Lol
No idea what that entails but keen to browse your site tomorrow, cheers
You can already accomplish this by defining relevant sites in your query.
Maintain a few lists of sources you deem authorities in various disciplines, and voila…
While I agree the current state of search is pretty brutal, it’s still a slight improvement over the limitations of a physical library or encyclopedia.
That said, IMHO it’s unreasonable to expect any ‘search engine’ to be able to capture the intent of your brief query string, survey the current authorities (simply determining said authorities is contentious enough), and return the type of results you’re describing - in countless languages and across infinite disciplines, no less
Reading a lot of these comment threads makes me extremely thankful that I’m not trying to navigate urban or suburban American life
Hats off to anyone that can survive or thrive in such environments
Ya and the NSA was prohibited from spying on American citizens without a warrant - hows that going?
