You cant fool me. It's AI all the way down.

I'm a bit suspicious of this as there are open source excel clones already. It's impressive AI can put together it's own version, but I can't help but feel it's probably just relyi…

I don't think that makes sense. I'm not disagreeing with your overall point, but autistic in that comment is attempting to capture that "literal rhetoric but socially unaware" styl…

That is an external service needing to do maintenance. Not my own device on my own machine. I don't remember a time my CD player on my car would stop working due to an update.

>I can't say I know anyone IRL who has any interest in leaving PlayStation As a counterpoint to that. Most of my 30+ year old dad gamer friends (all of us are the type to own a PC,…

It's not always obvious but the bit that is clear is it's hard to delineate "dad is working so don't interrupt him" for on-call incidents etc vs "dad is looking at cat videos". The…

I find these studies specifically frustrating because they don't answer the most interesting question - is it damaging if your caregiver uses phone a lot but remains responsive. Th…

This is barrens chat 2.0. Just a constant slew of racism and US politics.

Plenty of countries have moved away from DST. Over half who previously used it IIRC.

Sure but a producer has never needed to be able to be a live artist. Making the music is the only requirement and that totally fine.

That doesn't really work for electronic music though. Electronic or not, whether messing with a buchla or producing via vsts and changing knobs around still ends up with a human fe…

That was fun. Bit confused by the result because it says I was "wow are you stephen fry?" Which I assume meant I did decent. (72K). But then below it said "you are a man of few wor…

One thing to consider is non-office whether remote or personal projects. A lot of devs like gaming. Gaming is more simple on windows. Gaming PCs are usually high spec. High spec is…

Ah thanks. That context was missing for me appreciated.

The bit that lost me quite early in the piece was >"A side effect. You're asking me to believe in sentient weights." Huh? Did I miss that logical jump? Genuine question, maybe I'm …

Blaming AI is gonna be the security breach equivalent to blaming ddos when your website breaks isn't it.

Isn't this where the research plan implement loop comes in though? Assuming comprehension used effectively? You should be learning alongside the llm through the research phase of a…

Lets generalise a bit more here - every company at any time could completely heel-turn and do awful things. Even my favourite private companies (e.g. Valve) have done things that I…

The problem with that logic is that its clear now that Tesla is run by someone who is has directly said that we can wait 50-100 years to set up a sustainable energy economy, and is…

I'd be surprised if they weren't using climate change data in their modellin/planning. Whether you are trying to reduce emissions or ignoring it is a separate concern than finding …

I think the idea is that this keyword list will be expanded to include climate change etc over time, or some similar uncontroversial topic scientifically, but controversial sociall…

I know it's overused, but I do find myself saying YAGNI to my junior devs more and more often, as I find they go off on a quest for the perfect abstraction and spend days yak shavi…

Like almost anything in IT, if you are good at using a hammer, you treat everything like a nail.

You certainly can legislate freedoms. The biggest news of last year was enabling legislating away access to abortion in many states for example. Internet freedom is harder to legis…

I think that rather avoids one of the best parts of hacker news - getting the vision/justifications from the creator directly.
