    It's far quicker/easier/more convenient to sit in front of a screen and try find some buttons. Your issue seems to be that those buttons have got harder to find and understand - th…

    I wasn't making a comment about toupees, I was referring to the toupee fallacy. Look, I don't know who you are, or what your background is, and without that, there's nothing I can …

    > If this is the case it should be quite easy for you to provide examples of excellent AI-fiction. I feel that's the opposite of the toupee fallacy. The lack of labelled excellent …

    I don't mean to be confrontational, but the key detail you thought I missed, about it being complicated, was a fairly crucial part of my point that you've overlooked: My parents wh…

    > AI writing makes me vomit. I think this was fairly obvious and fair 1 - 2 years ago. Now though, I have to wonder if people who think this with such conviction are falling for th…

    I might be being overly cynical here, but I think part of the problem is parents expect to give their kids the internet so they don't have to spend so much time/attention with them…

    Sorry, it wasn't meant to come across as a complaint with copy and paste curl command, I agree with you it's convenient and I generally like it. However, the sort of tools that gen…

    This is a really cool idea, and very appealing. Also very nice that it looks usable with just an SSH client. It would be useful if it was explained what the companion client is for…

    It's possible to login and interact and use late.sh with just your SSH client - there's no need to download or run custom code. But you that did make me realise that they don't hav…

    That's fair, I completely get that. I guess I was just surprised that there's an expectation that a website with content like Gwern's would be up front about their real identity. I…

    I think you're inferring something that people aren't implying, and that inference leads to you eventually discussing how ATProto is better than mastodon. I think this doesn't look…

    Dan, you really should refine this line of reasoning a bit as it feels not very nice in some way: it feels like you're picking an unintuitive/uncommon definition for "instance" and…

    Gwern has been around for ages. I remember citing a few of their pages during my postgraduate work over 15 years ago. At the time, it wasn't easy (or even possible?) to find their …

    That's fair, thanks for the response. I'd like to respectfully disagree with it being clear what the learnings are. Your conclusion says: > In other words, the best approach for us…

    I think the comments in this thread are a little unhinged, and it's making me concerned about the sincerity and knowledge of the average commenter here. The fact is the post shows …

    I agree! It might even be an issue on my side, where I'm exposed to AI generated stuff that often that everything starts looking like a trope when it's not. Either way, I've seen m…

    The mismatch between how great Bunny is giving away free DNS, and the actual reality that I can't open an account and get free DNS from them is jarring and verging on dishonest. Sa…

    Comment #48658371

    The 1 dollar thing, I think, looks exceptionally bad because it shows that what Bunny says can't be taken at face value. The fact is we're here because they posted a blog talking a…

    Your first sentence is the proof that CORS is a bad solution. HN is supposed to be full of people who need to know, use and depend on CORS and CSP. We might all just be idiots, but…

    I feel the same. Unfortunately, I've had to deal with CORS in a few situations where the request is "we need to get this thing from this server, but we can't change the servers COR…

    It's natural to be a bit racist an xenophobic internally. We're all animals at the end of the day who are motivated to protect our in groups and people like us. The same way as it'…
