    It's always fun to see the people throwing fits over this kind of thing. No matter what approach/wording they use, and no matter how hard I try to give them the benefit of the doub…

    Honestly I think I'd have an easier time understanding 1000s of lines of slop than 93 lines of proofs lol. Does anyone have any recommended learning resources for this type of thin…

    This would probably be more effective (and controversial) if the reports included the linkedin profiles of the recruiters/employees involved in the ghosting. I can imagine a lot of…

    Don't anthropomorphize Larry Ellison.

    I see two options: 1. The AI they used called it "physics-based" as a hallucination (probably due to the popular "JellyCar" game), and they went with it because they don't know bet…

    They already have Open GoPro: https://gopro.com/en/us/info/open-gopro Idk if the firmware is open source, but there's a whole SDK you can use to implement stuff like that

    > I wrote my own I see the growing trend of words losing all meaning is still going strong in 2026. I wonder what human communication will look like in the near future?

    Yup, and don't even get me started about what they're doing to the frogs!!!!11 (hint: it's very s*nful)

    So you're saying that it's not fair to rate a coding model on its ability to code, and instead the best way to use it is to tell it to find existing human-written code online rathe…

    I've been working with the command line for just under two decades. A couple of years of those were spent with vim as my primary editor, but eventually I moved to Sublime and never…

    How fried does someone's brain have to be to say "others on telegram", as if everyone is in the same chatrooms together? If they're on HN, they should at least know why that doesn'…

    You just reminded me why I unsubscribed from ground news: you can't share a link without them adding their own paywall to it, even if it's a free article. Fuck that

    If you're going to jump ship because they're banning AI slop, then I think the feature is working as intended.

    Aren't those about organizational processes instead of just specific software features? For example, I don't think self-hosting gitlab is enough to claim ISO/IEC 27001, just based …

    I was (obviously) referring to the project that you linked to, not saying you are a bot. Github contributors page shows the whole thing was vibe coded: https://github.com/aosmith/c…

    For anyone causally scrolling by, know these people are trolls. The founder of Palantir has called technology an "incredible alternative to politics", saying: > you could unilatera…

    It's easy to see why your argument is wrong with a simple hypothetical: what if they were still making DDR4 today? Would people still buy it? The answer is an obvious "fuck yeah", …

    Same here, and I've run into annoying technical issues too. I am on the verge of canceling, but this new AI-skeptical stance makes me want to give them another chance. Sometimes I …

    The false positive rate for assuming em-dashers are AI is probably very low right now. I doubt whatever you write is valuable enough to justify the extra time and mental effort of …

    That's just illegal anticompetitive behavior from memory manufacturers, and incompetent/corrupt/senile government officials not enforcing laws. It's as bad as it's ever been, but i…

    It is, but this isn't competition. This just copyright infringement. Competition would be if these people created their own software, possibly innovating and improving it in the pr…

    It's obviously a problem because it doesn't work as intended/at all. What's point of building something like this if it doesn't work? At best its a waste of everyone's time, at wor…
