I don't think Luoyuan Zhang is necessarily doing this, but I'm pretty sure lots of people are using arxiv as a glorified blog and hoping no one notices.

Great post, thank you. At least AI won't reach this level of story quality for the foreseeable future.

If you're not a phone power user, you can get by on old low end stuff. When my pixel 4a died of a bad screen crack a couple years ago, I replaced it with a random used 4a on ebay f…

I was extremely impressed by the sora demo in Feb 2024, but there are exactly two videos I remember ever seeing from AI video gen services that will stick around in my mind: the on…

Why test on Qwen 2.5 when Qwen 3 has been out for about a year, and Qwen 3.5 for a month? My problem with this is ironically entirely vibes based: that for some reason, LLMs love t…

I don't disagree in theory, but: Manufacturing one hardware setup and charging separately for features is not the problem. The problem is charging ongoing rent for a feature that i…

Does it get flagged because of users or dang/admin? I don't see any other reason for this to get flagged.

Thanks for writing this. This is unrelated, but one downside of AI being used as an oracle is that I feel like it is/will be less likely to accidentally stumble on an article like …

You can't. Either people will say you're overreacting to stylistic choices and that it's not AI, or that it's AI but a good comment (it's not), or that it's AI and a bad comment, b…

Have you noticed that your username is literally "its_notjack"?

Is it possible that these are in the top 10, but not the top 5? I'm pretty sure programming, email/meeting summaries, cheating on homework, random QA, and maybe roleplay/chat are t…

A bizarre claim like that would be what happens when you let an LLM write the README without reading it first.

I mentally checked out by the time he mentioned buying ray bans as some radical personal statement on privacy and tech nostalgia.

Tesla? I don't love the company or the owner, but it seems silly to completely dismiss them so early on, relatively speaking. Self driving has been a decades long effort; even thou…

Thought this was an interesting horror sci-fi short film about small AI drones being used as targeted weapons. While nothing quite like this has been developed, I wonder how close …

HN admin dang changing titles opaquely is one of the worst things about HN. I'd rather at least know that the original title is clickbaity and contextualize that when older respons…

> Not sure what car ownership looks like, and I haven’t been in years, but I’d imagine it’s still much more than just 20% I said "less than 80% car ownership", not "80% do not own …

Yeah, I have no idea if Waymo will ever be a rural thing honestly, mostly for economic reasons. I'm skeptical it would get serious suburban usage this decade too. But for major cit…

Look at Waymo, not Robotaxi. Waymo is essentially the self driving vision I had as a kid, and ridership is growing exponentially as they expand. It's also very safe if you believe …

You allegedly expending 49,000 calories in a week when the discussion is about average people is irrelevant. The post already says it depends on the person too. On the other hand, …

> I'm fairly sure that's mostly consensus The consensus is that's it's terrible try-hard partisan political satire? Can you go into more detail?

Not in the same way doomscrolling Instagram Reels, Tiktok, and Youtube shorts, no.

> Our main problems involve under the table unreported to the public military expenditures. This is a common claim but I don't think it's supported. Defense spending is about 3.3% …
