The weird thing about it to me is that it lumbers on.

Perhaps it is actually useful to some people.

Each one, taken alone, would have been a bleak, dystopian fever dream ripped from the pages of a William Gibson cyberpunk novel.

Gibson isn't really that kind of dystopian. And the Good Place reference makes no sense. The article reads like those old Time Magazine pieces by some baby boomer breathlessly trying to scare other old people.

We already have the business side come with requirements in the form of 'solutions' that they have thought up, which more often than not are Rube Golberg-esque contraptions, that you have to conversationally reverse engineer to arrive at the actual requirements.

In the future they will come with their 'ready' solution, already 'working' and be even less receptive to look at design and architecture holistically. Just make it like that. And why do you need to spend X man hours? The thing is basically already done!

It's funny how Apple has come full circle. Back in the 90s, when they were in deep crisis (before the second coming of Jobs), it was almost conventional wisdom that they should just stop selling hardware, and focus on their superior software. And here we are today when a lot of people lust for the hardware, but just can't deal with MacOS.

the big players have their own deeply integrated solutions: Apple (iCloud), Google (Drive), Microsoft (OneDrive).

So Steve Jobs was right: Dropbox is a feature, not a product.

That's a fake youtube channel that is somehow allowed to squat the SpaceX channel name. It's been going on for years, including the crypto scam. Baffling. Maybe a big middle finger from Google to Elon.

This is the first flight of the new engines. They look so much sleeker and simpler than the previous two generations:

* And supposedly with a 20% power increase to boot!

Crypto could be a part of it. Like you need to sign with an adress that has held some non-trivial amount for some minimum amount of time. As a component of such a system it could cut down on mass or low-effort impersonation.

How do we make sure the LLM generated code works? We'll have LLM generated tests! Wait a minute...

This is to say nothing of the CCP and their record on human rights

The U.S. record on human rights is horrific, if you see it from a global perspective (which you should). China is a saint in comparison.

It's an acquired taste.

dozens of cans of sugar free soda every day

In that case phosphoric acid is a bigger problem than aspartam will ever be

Given that submitters are just using LLMs to produce the PR anyway, it makes sense that the author can just run that prompt himself. Just share the 'prompt' (whether or not it is actually formatted as a prompt for an LLM), which is not too different than a feature request by any other name.

Helium mines on the sun, pumping out millions of barrels of birthday-grade helium.

Most people wouldn't know what to do with a certificate, so governments build some stuff on top (like an official mobile app) which makes auth easier. It's usually just certificates underneath (not exposed to the user).

Eidas tries to harmonize these implementations across EU member states.

Crypto wallets work like that. Put in a different password (in addition to the seed) and it's a different account, preferably with some chump change on it for plausibility.

Lol, I was thinking about that comic just yesterday, what a coincidence. "As you have no doubt been monitoring my communications for quite some time!" read in the voice of the pharmacy owner from Family Guy.

They are very valuable. Just a few of them can put a link on the HN front page. Upvote a certain viewpoint. Or bury any post they want gone.

Weed can make you paranoid, every smoker knows this. It is patently obvious that it could trigger something worse, too, if you are already sensitive.

I think only young people in their weed honeymoon phase get defensive about this.

"Misinformation" usually meaning information the people in power would rather you don't get to see and make up your own mind about.

It has been their practice since forever. Look up the diapers.com case.

Having read through the entire game session, Claude plays the game admirably! For example, it finds a random tin of oily fish somewhere, and later tries (unsuccessfully) to use it to oil a rusty lock. Later it successfully solves a puzzle inside the house by thoroughly examining random furniture and picking up subtle clues about what to do, based on it.

It did so well that I can't not suspect that it used some hints or walkthroughs, but then again it did a bunch of clueless stuff too, like any player new to the game.

For one thing, this would be a great testing tool for the author of such a game. And more generally, the world of software testing is probably about to take some big leaps forward.

You can see Claude's responses in the repo. The first one is:

Ah, Anchorhead! One of the most celebrated pieces of interactive fiction ever written

Cool! I would like to see the game sessions.

Edit: they are there in the repo: https://github.com/eudoxia0/claude-plays-anchorhead/tree/mas...

Yeah, it seems Nordic, Nordic languages still have an archaic native version that could be the proto-hello: 'Hil' meaning 'be greeted', surviving as 'hail' in English, or, somewhat infamously, 'heil' in German.

Oh yes. Driving over from Copenhagen to Malmoe (10 km) it's like you've entered the land of the robots. It's nice and clean though.

Like Cucumber?

Fortunately, China is not strongarming or invading the rest of the world.

Z Fold 3 here, going happily on 4-5 years.

Samsung has nice hardware quality, but no sense of UX, and that goes for their software and hardware.
