seems to happen daily when USA wakes up and Europe is at peak working capacity, I don't think it's a coincidence

there's nothing stopping them from saying that, which is my point which you missed

So we're looking at different options to keep delivering a great experience for users.

his title should be changed to Head of Corporate Bullshitting

big fan of A/B tests that dehumanize the consumer into some kind of money making lab rat funnel whose only purpose is to be experimented on how you can extract more money out of it

i wouldn't have such an issue with it if didn't completely homogenize every text it spits out. i want to read something that at least resembles the words in the author's mind, not the output of an instruction to describe something.

i should take a break from the internet, the past couple of weeks feel like being stuck in an asylum where everything is written by the same one author, using the same words, same tropes, same idioms. i'm slowly going insane.

no X. no Y. just Z

i am so sick of AI slop writing..

i use an extension called OhMyECH to show whether a website used ECH, and it is currently very rare that i encounter one that does.

at least none of the major websites on the internet do.

i couldn't finish "Don't Look Up", it felt like sitting through a political lecture. all i wanted from a comedy was some laughs.

nowhere near comparable experience if you want to seamlessly use your YT account across a TV + phone + computer

i'd rather pay the $10 than pay with my time by being an ad-block whack-a-mole diagnostician

i don't care if someone has bad grammar, i want to hear their thoughts as they came up with them, we're all intelligent beings and can parse the meaning behind what you write.

i type my comments without capitalization like i'm typing into some terminal because i'm lazy and people might hate it but i'm sure they prefer this to if i asked an LLM to rewrite what i type

your writing style is your personality, don't let a robot take it away from you

i'm kinda jaded because it seems the type of people that get into politics do it to gain money and power.. so voting always feels like picking the lesser of two evils

overblown? billions of users use consumer tier hardware just fine. i have servers at home with years of uptime without any ECC memory

the whole concept of a "clean room" implementation sounds completely absurd.

a bunch of people get together, rewrite something while making a pinky promise not to look at the original source code

guaranteeing the premise is basically impossible, it sounds like some legal jester dance done to entertain the already absurd existing copyright laws

naming something tech related without referencing crabs or lobsters challenge [impossible difficulty]

the plurality of this website are californians so this whole discourse is about as predictable as can be

lol. yeah there is but instead of "farther from the population centers" it is "farther from YOUR population centers"

it's funny because you'd think these trillion parameter models trained on the entirety of humanity's written works would be amazing at writing, but instead all the models just converge to the same tired overly-enthusiastic phrases

at my job we have some 7+ year old nextjs apps that don't receive new features but still do their jobs perfectly fine, and they keep changing random shit around for no reason, we've had to waste time on multiple refactors already for major nextjs version bumps once the older ones are no longer supported

yeah the thing is, if someone can social engineer you on the phone and make you do their bidding, you've lost no matter what

an obvious tell from another tech influencer and Hn will eat it up

fr idg this obsession with lobsters/molting/claws/shrimps it feels like i'm going insane

I have been experimenting with AI-assisted drafting for HN comments

forgive the hyperbole but this seems completely insane to me. like is the purpose of a forum not to share our collective human experiences? or do you get off on some internetpointmaxxing side game instead

i just don't get it, what are you optimizing for here exactly. are you trying to remove every ounce of autonomy from your life or what

i think it's very hard to sing all the way up to the high C5 as a male, this doesn't surprise me at all

i've never had to use control + o before but with the latest changes, i give Opus a simple task that should take a few seconds and it's like "used 15k tokens" and "thinking" for three minutes with absolutely zero indication or visibility as to what it's actually doing and i have to ESC ESC it to stop and ask what the FUCK are you actually doing claude?

music is a form of storytelling and expression of human emotions, i can't connect with some generated noise or go to its live gig

after seeing the recent surge of meme stocks, 0dte option trading, sports betting, prediction markets and funny internet coins, one thing is apparent is that people just love to gamble

so i don't believe it will ever go to zero as it has intrinsic value as a casino, if nothing else

this is cultural appropriation, i learned to type like this on irc in the 90s

also i don't want to be mistaken for a phone poster

i really dislike the constant appeal to authority of techfluencers on HN

man they really butchered the user interface, the "dark" mode now isn't even dark, it's just grey, and it's looking more like a whitespacemaxxed children's toy than a tool for professionals

i don't know, are we intelligent?

you could argue that our input (senses) entirely define the output (thoughts, muscle movements, etc)
