I’ve been a Mac user since college and I’ve literally never heard of the product. To your point, this is their blog page, not a marketing/landing page. Of course it assumes you alr…

Yeah I probably overreacted a little bit, I got a little fired up :) I re-read it and caught that line as well. So Adam isn’t directly saying normal people are the problem, he does…

Okay great. We’re out of time. Fine, we get it. But the problem with this article, and many other similar articles, is it seems like it’s just designed to scare the shit out of us.…

I’m tempted to add to this list, but Sparkle emoji has so clearly become a ubiquitous symbol for “this feature is enhanced by AI”, I’m surprised at the push back from the other com…

I don’t disagree, Costco has a reputation for selling well vetted products, but that’s not a good comparison. I trust Costco (even their online only sales), but in no way do I trus…

I’m just going to leave this here because many of us (myself included) are prone to going to comments first before finishing the post: This post is in regards to the design aesthet…

I hate to be crass, I’m consciously trying to avoid well defined HN guidelines here, but the article is about discussing design aesthetics we encounter when we are interacring with…

Because your home IP address is going to be associated with criminal activity. So if that’s acceptable “payment” then I guess there’s no issue

Interesting how this technological war behind the scenes probably had a disproportionately large effect on the war compared to how little you hear about it in text books or history…

I wouldn’t think to much more on it if I were you. It’s not just this article. I’ve been getting the same feeling with other Arstechnica articles that recently trended on HN, so I …

Consciousness is a topic I’m endlessly curious and fascinated about. This article seems like a good deep dive, I admit I only had the patience to skim it right now, it’s a lot of t…

I’ve been playing around with some similar ideas in a couple of pet projects. I truly believe that some type of “proof of work” system like this will be the only reliable way to ha…

The comment I’m speaking of was from a different user, and it’s giving a strong smell that both users are bots unfortunately. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s a coincidence those exact …

Why is your comment exactly word for word of another comment just one level above in the comment chain?

This is a great distinction that I don’t think is getting talked about enough. “Open source” is probably the wrong term to use. Open “weights”, sure. If your only concern is how go…

Okay, first off, without honestly reading the whole article (I tried but I just don’t have the patience), a quick red flag is the final analysis is only through Fable? Isn’t that i…

You’re really going down a completely different rabbit hole here, that has nothing to do with with the technical content of the post. I’m not saying you’re right or wrong. I’m sayi…

I took the bait too and responded to this post, but it’s the third “green” screen name I’ve seen in the last couple days with the same text in the bio: “When dang and tomhow ban al…

If that’s what you took away from this, I’m afraid you missed the point. The question isn’t “will anyone actually play this?” No, they won’t. It’s a demonstration of running web te…

I like this distinction “dirt notebook”. As someone who was never naturally good at taking notes, I’ve only later in life made it a consistent habit. That being said I’m realizing …

The charts are certainly overwhelming. I had to tap out half way through maybe

I’ve been using Firefox on mobile (and desktop) for years. I still don’t understand all the hate thrown at them. Whatever the downsides/ shortcomings people see, they are irrelevan…

I just mean no matter how hard anyone tries, I don’t see how useful these systems would be in practice. Sure they demonstrated a “working” system. Plenty companies sell products th…

I could be wrong, but I just don’t see how trying to “detect” LLM generated texts is ever going to work. The only thing that makes any sense if you truly want to have confidence a …

That actually makes a lot of sense, and it helps me wrap my head around why the technique exists at all. As someone who didn’t get into web programming until 2015 or so, I didn’t q…
