What does “lamence” mean?

> all the same morally questionable practices existed under Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden. I’m gonna need a citation on this claim

This is actually fascinating, and simultaneously unsettling. Recommended reading for sure, especially in today’s social and political climate with LLM agents running rampant.

Maybe I’m just groggy with Friday Brain going on, but I’m having trouble understanding what you’re suggesting. Do you think this was a scam attempt to extract money in the form of …

I’m just a lowly dev and don’t have experience with seeing the bills from cloud providers for a whole org. Can you (or someone) shed some light to help me understand how this would…

Huh? I exclusively view r/all and its loading fine for me across all devices.

I have been putting my agents on their own, restricted OS-level user accounts for a while. It works really well for everything I do. Admittedly, there’s a little more friction and …

Huh? The first paragraph literally says they are using LLMs > [ GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — March 28, 2026 ] — CERN is using extremely small, custom large language models physically burn…

Huh? Their words are an accurate, if simplified, description of how they work.

Wasn’t that film explicitly about climate change denial?

It's still really early 2000's! We have over 900 years left :) --- On topic: discussions like these are as old as human discussion forums and communities. I think that the particip…

Genuinely curious: would you mind please explaining to me how your contributions are more productive than the person you are responding to (read: attacking)? It reads like you are …

I think it'd be good to keep in mind that Hacker News is mostly populated by a demographic commonly referred to as "Tech Bros" who, for the most part, are here as part of their jou…

For a company that had Sears’ positioning at the time? It wasn’t far off from that description.

Web search-based RAG is very different from having something embedded in a model's training data, though.

Let’s define the bot as one that asks LLMs to visualize concepts, then. Now I’ve argued that the bot would very likely have thought of the same question you did, and my original as…

Acting as a pass-through for LLMs is logically equivalent to wiring up a bot account.

Would you mind elaborating…?

Unrelated to the topic, it seems awfully unintuitive to name a function ‘poll’ if the result is ‘not polling.’ I’m guessing there’s some history and maybe backwards-compatible rewr…

One thing worth taking into account is the practice of finding people who actually like the product, and then paying them to write an honest review. I find this to be much closer t…
