The reason I am a writer and you are not is not because I can and you can't, it's because I do and you don't. Morality is precisely what's at stake here.

Now just imagine how much more meaningful those moments would have been if it had been a story that you actually wrote rather than something cobbled together from the works of prev…

It assumes nothing about OP. It’s about what they made, not who they are.

So just because things are going to get worse we should accept each new horrible thing with open arms? Nope, let’s keep fighting against the things which cheapen our world and supp…

Absolutely agree. This might be a fun personal project. But things like this only hasten the decline towards a dead internet where human-created things with heart and intent are im…

They can do so anytime they pick up an instrument. But plugging things into AI is not making music.

This is a baseless argument. A human being and a machine are fundamentally different. A human being synthesizes things from the world and it becomes a part of them. The art they pr…

Nothing was stopping them from making music before other than laziness. I’m so sick of hearing this excuse. “I can’t draw so I use AI,” as if the people who can draw were born that…

You just have to ride the wave with social media sites. Same as dating apps. Use them before they rot.

Infowars is a supplements business. It’s grifts all the way down.

This article is kind of hilariously like almost every conversation you have at the disc golf course, but it’s always something different. The reach back position, the power pocket,…

I really hope you’re wrong. I suspect that the future is technology which blends further into the background rather than being shoved closer to our faces.

Our most derivative advertisement yet.

Still an absurd argument. We get a lot of nutritional value from plants and you still take shits after eating meat.

Getting what nutritional value it can and pooping out the rest is just literally what eating is.

You deliver more pizzas.

I'd fall asleep in 30 seconds.

Yeah, I’ve tried posting on housing swap web sites. But it seems they’re more geared towards full swaps which are shorter.

Yup, that’s it exactly. There’s a good chance that you would be alone in one city or the other. And in theory you could both treat the second room as a guest room. With consent, et…

I've lived in San Francisco for the past 15 years but spent most of the past year in New York and loved it. I also love my apartment and friends and life in San Francisco. I live i…

This is by far the most time we've spent on a tool at Glumdark. It's intended for use in TTRPG campaigns. We use a lot of madlibs-style randomness drawing from dozens of tables wit…

I built something last week to do exactly this. I think if I post it here it will get HN hug of death'd because it's on a free Heroku tier and has an API limit. But DM me if you'd …

This is so bizarre. I just wrote a program to do this last week. Precisely the same thing. I did it with the Google Translate API first, and you can translate it into 100 different…

Yes, that was always the draw of the Nexus and Pixel lines. "Vanilla Android." Really hope that's still the case, though I've switched back to iPhone for a number of reasons.
