    Please post an update on HN once you have it working. It’s a fantastic idea.

    Interesting. This is, perhaps, the most novel and innovative use of a GPT model I have encountered so far. It feels like you have invented a new product category. Maybe “category” …

    They could do this very gradually. First rename WhatsApp to Meta Messenger. Keep everything else the same. Then with interop being implemented slowly merge FB messenger into Meta M…

    I did that a few times and now just go to competitors instead. I don’t have time or desire to talk to a sales person and decline all their upsell options just to get the price. Agr…

    #2 is interesting. I am very curious what the ultimate plan for having 2 messaging apps is (at least in Zuck’s head). My bet is that his fantasy is to eventually merge them into a …

    Likely just old school chord progressions and pseudo-random note sequences. Maybe something more advanced but doesn’t sound like it to me. I guess the “innovation” here is in the u…

    The vast majority of very popular music is still created with emotions (even when those are forced). Human element is still critical, and I think will remain so for a very long tim…

    Any time I am prompted to contact someone for pricing I assume it’s not going to be the minimum “starting from” price.

    The awful miss-representation of what this tool is in the intro video. “You know that tune that has been stuck in your head? Set it free!” - by… not actually being able to compose …

    The magic trick here is destruction of a forest, not confetti in a jacket sleeve.

    This video doesn’t destroy a forest while the other ones do. This and similar investigations are raising awareness of the harm of watching and promoting these scammy channels.

    Bitcoin is obviously not a pyramid scheme [0]. Criticizing things you disagree with requires a bit more skill than just using labels that don’t apply. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.or…

    Got it! If by “wilderness” they meant an unguided psychedelic trip then my advice would be similar to what I said earlier. Do not go on an unguided trip if you have no experience a…

    Just speculating, but the number of people who are here legally but do not have a work permit is probably not significant in the construction business. Getting a long term visa req…

    That basically describes my schedule and my habits. One important thing to add to that: an online diet. I have The Guardian, Reddit, and a ton of other distracting content blocked …

    Did you forget to add /s? A person with severe PTSD would greatly benefit from being left alone in the wilderness. How come therapists didn’t think of that? Probably another Big Ph…

    Thanks for copying this over! I am guilty of quoting that famous speech too. Probably should stop doing that and read MLK’s works in more detail.

    Haha we would need to meet in person for that to invalidate my previous statement!

    It’s a good argument. I don’t fully agree we should limit the definition of value to only its (subjectively) productive quality. It’s like gambling - I personally don’t see value i…
