    I think you're missing the point. People loading these skills and complaining about LLM output aren't trying to "humanise" anything. They're saying LLM output is an affront to lang…

    I'm not so sure anyone was let out of the dungeon. All the "co-founder" statements read exactly like Claude drivel. If I were a betting man, I'd bet HackerOne simply wired LLMs up …

    If ever there was a case study in the complexity of "market forces", it's Microsoft's Windows' resilience to pressure from clearly superior options like MacOS. As a life long Linux…

    Much of the FUD around using LISTEN/NOTIFY in production comes from people who have never done so. It of course has its limits, and we should remain aware of them. Much like the li…

    > It didn't just suddenly materialize. A sudden materialization is what's depicted by the data. > It's been steadily getting worse. I don't believe this is accurate. Failing grades…

    I'm having a difficult time imagining how an admissions event in 2021 materializes in the spring semester of 2026 in a class largely taken by first-year students. Could you explain…

    To be honest, this comment reads to me like LLM output. You have a history of comments that were clearly written by a human, with character, but this comment stands out to me as an…

    I cancelled a 12 year old Prime account solely out of principle because of this.

    It's interesting that even people who are anti-Flock have been convinced to refer to Flock's camera products as automatic license plate readers (ALPRs). This is similar to how Goog…

    I may be imagining this, but I'm nearly certain I was running dillo on a PDA (I want to say Palm Treo) around 2001. I remember it feeling revolutionary to open up a webpage on some…

    As dumb and useless as I think Grok is, I think you've identified what actually happened, which is significantly more benign than asking a 10 year old for nudes.

    That's because you're reasonable. Sometimes it's used in the expected way, but (more?) often, "international community" euphemistically refers to whomever is currently one of, or a…

    It's exactly what you said. You're not crazy :)

    Tokens are an implementation detail that have no business being part of product pricing. It's deliberate obfuscation. First, there's the simple math of converting tokens to dollars…

    > It's not future demand, it's current demand. Microsoft has already said they're power blocked rather than chip blocked. This is not me doubting you, but your comment will carry c…

    If I were to go back to Android, I'd have to built the app first. Although I would built it with age support :)

    Unless you used different language for the bet, you lost it the moment it was made. "Never" may be falsified by "at least once", but affirmed only by "never". So I'm afraid only yo…

    A mature CEO would characterize the "not good reasons" engineers had for not onboarding. I think most people would agree that engineers outright refusing to comply with what was as…

    For anyone following along in the comments here. Code Rabbit's CEO posted some of the details today, after this post hit HN. The usual "we take full responsibility" platitudes.

    LLM Token and usage limit anxiety aught to pair nicely with battery and range anxiety. All part of a head-healthy diet.

    In Colorado, this is how it's supposed to work. But then you have companies like Parking Revenue Recovery Services (PRRS), who have already had to settle [1] with the AG once befor…
