Are you implying that Anthropic is using ChatGPT internally?

I don't think that's AI. It looks more like crappy photoshop.

I grew up in evangelical christianity, and to them the end of the world is just around the corner

I grew up in evangelical Christianity, I'm still an evangelical Christian, and you're wrong to paint with a broad brush like that. Are there evangelicals that are millenarian? Yep, of course.

But that is not my experience across multiple evangelical churches across decades.

Sure, but just like with cars, e-bikes being more dangerous doesn't mean cyclists also don't need to have rules to follow.

“This is all about cyclists on motorised bicycles, so I should think you would do something about motorised cyclists. Make a rule for them and not for all cyclists.”

There's a certain sub strain of cyclists that want absolutely no rules for them.

In a just world, cyclists would have more freedom than cars, but pedestrians would have most of all. But walking through European cities with large cycling cultures can be dangerous, too, especially for children and the elderly. Too often, cyclists will completely ignore stop signs and stop lights, or go at full speed on the sidewalks.

And because I know someone is going to retort that car drivers break traffic laws, too: drivers acting dangerously shouldn't excuse cyclists.

The subscription is for the phone service. Though it is true that you can only use this with their service.

The hunt for LLM writing is almost as boring as LLM writing itself.

I find it fascinating that in less than a decade "bro" somehow turned into a very specific meathead or stoner stereotype, to now include everyone from Sam Altman to your local girlboss marketer.

I.e. finance man as well as captain of industry

I've taken plenty of taxis in both NYC and Texas, and pre-Uber they were terrible in both. Calling a taxi in Austin meant a 50% chance that it would get there on time, or you'd wait 30 minutes. Calling back didn't help, you would just get the dispatcher saying, "Well, I guess it's not coming then, huh?"

The Pope is selected by the College of Cardinals. The joke is a play on "cardinality."

My dude, Menendez was imprisoned in 2025...

Fair enough, I withdraw the "rooting for" comment. More accurate to say that you shouldn't be actively annoyed at the protagonist.

You're jumping to some wild conclusions there. This isn't about wokism (if you know the author, that would be clear) or political correctness.

It's more: wow these guys are jerks, and they get on my nerves.

A protagonist doesn't need to be perfect. But, ultimately, you should be rooting for him.

I've had that before. I asked a woman to walk me through her career (I told her I've obviously seen the profile before, but I'd love to hear the elevator pitch directly from her) and she started off by saying,"Well, you need to know that I was raised in a cult."

And, yeah, I feel bad for her. But also: time and place.

I passed on her because she didn't have the technical skills, but that was definitely a case of the setting not being right.

Maybe it's because I never had my On the Road phase, but this review on Kerouac I always found really strong:

On the Road is a terrible book about terrible people. Jack Kerouac and his terrible friends drive across the US about seven zillion times for no particular reason, getting in car accidents and stealing stuff and screwing women whom they promise to marry and then don’t.

Jack Kerouac’s relationship with Dean can best be described as “enabler”. He rarely commits any great misdeeds himself. He’s just along for the ride [usually literally, generally in flagrant contravention of all applicable traffic laws] with Dean, watching him destroy people’s lives, doing nothing about it, and then going into rhapsodies about how free-spirited and unencumbered and holy and mad and visionary it all is.

Genuine question: how can you know ahead of time? I could imagine you could have an HOA that seems reasonable until you get to know them.

You may also suddenly have unpleasant neighbors. That is true with a house as well, but the distance between you and them is closer in an apartment.

Not all, but a lot of the debate between renting and owning include something like this, but you can rent a home, and you can buy an apartment.

Yeah, but it's also one of the downsides. "Care about the plan of their surroundings" can just as easily turn into the HOA drama that many prefer to avoid.

It's hard for me to imagine a user base more pedantic and judgy than reddit. It must have been really bad.

I remember when Pope Benedict was mocked because he warned about the dangers of social media (this is when everyone thought Twitter was going to lead to more Arab Springs), but looking back, he was completely right:

the one-sidedness of the interaction, the tendency to communicate only some parts of one’s interior world, the risk of constructing a false image of oneself, which can become a form of self-indulgence

The arbitrary amount is $1.776 billion. Like everything that Trump does, there's an extra level of gaudiness on top.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I always assumed a fecal transplant went in the other door

EDIT: looks like I was right, it can be done that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_microbiota_transplant#Me...

This seems like an overreaction. Would it be better to not grandfather in people?

From the article:

Not only does walking speed typically decrease with age, greater levels of hearing loss are linked with slower walking speed for adults of all ages.

Why is it every time there's a study posted to HN, someone feels the need to go in and say, "Have the researchers thought of $incredibly_obvious_thing?"

I agree that there's very often a "world ending, women most effected" tone in the media, but... doesn't this article explicitly go against that? It's not complaining that women aren't being equally enticed to throw away their money gambling.

Counterpoint: Publix will absolutely show a special price of "2 for X" and will charge you X/2 if you only buy one. I did it just this morning.

But the statement wasn't false, was it? I'm not a paying member of LinkedIn, and I can see who visited my profile.

It's ironic that you're bemoaning derivative content, but the exception you mention is a movie derived from a book.
