> What's moon plus sun? Eclipse, obviously.

The thing I love about blog posts like these is how it reminds me that the tech world is a vast ocean that encompasses so many disciplines; it's not all full stack web development.…

I suppose it's fitting that an article concerned largely with AI was written largely by AI. (I noticed a lot of GPT-isms.) I mean, it is mostly solid advice, e.g. asking AI to cite…

Did you use an AI to tweak/refine your comment? It's: * Written more formally than the typical HN comment * Uses uncommon language like "jocular asides" and "whimsical similes" * F…

AI isn't this funny.

Not everything you dislike is AI. I don't see any signs at all of AI authorship.

I agree with your last sentence, but on the subject of positive portrayals of US armed forces, the studios actually have an incentive to play nice. The DoD will let film production…

I can't believe a software developer is using an operating system/pdf viewer that isn't patched for security vulnerabilities as major as an RCE. Unless this was a zero day, but I w…

Emojis? For the current weather, a single emoji could convey quite a lot; e.g. a snowflake for sub-60 weather (I have a low tolerance for cold), a sun for 60-80, fire emoji for 80+…

Well, no, which is why I threw in Kagi and Yandex as well. I can imagine Google and Microsoft altering rankings for certain results for political reasons, but Kagi seems too small …

> The second link returned on him was from ADL. No way that's an organic result. It might be, actually. I understand why you'd think that, but look at the results for other search …

There's a PEP for adding support for a __pythonpackages__ directory, similar to node_modules. https://peps.python.org/pep-0582/ Unfortunately the PEP is from 2018 and is still bein…

I see comments like this all the time on these sorts of articles, and I have two criticisms: First, although "AI exhibits racial bias due to biased training data" is far more accur…

> Look at how uncomfortable they are with such an innocuous request. Ah, but it's not innocuous, and everyone knows it. I assume you know it -- when you watched that clip of the se…

When I Google it, the first result is... your post, and none of the other results include the word. Adding quotes to "badass" turns up (on the first page) a mechanics job posted in…

To be fair, Yishan was CEO from 2012 to 2014, and back then they did way less content moderation. This was a time when blatantly racist subs like /r/coontown were allowed, as well …

> When critics diverge so far from the role of answering the question "what's a movie I would enjoy" then no, they're not doing their job. There's no critic that can predict what y…

Funny you should ask that, I was just watching a video about car door manufacturing. Here's the timestamped link showing a worker in a modern factory spray painting a door. https:/…

> I realize this is somewhat of a taboo topic Unfortunately true; I opened up a few times to different friends, and it never went well. But more people talking about it is the only…

I've never used their normal search engine, but their image search blows Google out of the water. I highly encourage anyone who frequently uses Google images to try out Yandex. Wha…

I can relate, and I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I remember dreading weekends because there was nothing to stop me from curling up in a ball and crying the whole da…

The stakes remain unchanged, because the stakes are the packages. Since there can't be that much profit in this activity, I think it's reasonable to assume that a lot of the people…
