    We have to get used to it, HN these days consists mostly of LinkedIn people and bots. BTW, the latter is often operated by the former.

    Fun fact: XPM bitmaps were designed to be #included unmodified, the files contain C boilerplate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_PixMap

    Well, if Carmack wants to give gifts to AI companies then he's free to do it, but it doesn't mean that other people want it too. I think this debate is mainly about the value of hu…

    To understand why it's happening, just read the downvoted comments siding with the slanderer, here and in the previous thread. Some people feel they're entitled to being open-sourc…

    As far as I know, there's still no real RISC-V equivalent to Raspberry Pi, and I think that's what early adopters want the most. The closest thing is probably Orange Pi RV2, but it…

    Did you paste the wrong link? While the OP of that thread was accussed of using LLMs, the thread doesn't really match what the article describes. I think this one is a much closer …

    I find it worrying that this was upvoted so much so quickly, and HN users are apparently unable to spot the glaring red flags about this article. 1. Let's start with where the post…

    In hindsight, one possible reason to bet on November 18 was the deprecation date of older models: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1oom1lq/google...

    Right, the website lists the accusations with links, but the links seem unrelated to the accusations. For example, I'd expect "criticizing expert medical and scientific consensus o…

    But to my eyes, this PR does look like spam. It has no description, its title and commit messages are meaningless. Changing random auxiliary files is also a common sign of PR spam.…

    Also, they talk about "echo chambers" and "full spectrum of global perspectives". Representing all perspectives sounds great in theory, but how far should it go? Should all politic…

    I think this is the wrong direction. We need better journalism, not better summarizing aggregators. Summaries are no substitute for real articles, even if they're generated by hand…

    I suppose these figures don't include the worst-behaving crawlers that hide their identity, e.g. by using residential proxies.

    This article isn't about that newspaper. It's about the "Pravda network", a group of fake news websites, that according to the report linked in the article[1] produced "20,273 arti…

    Delays aside, I wonder what kind of license they're planning to use for their weights. Will it be restricted like Llama, or fully open like Whisper or Granite?

    So many forums died in favor of Reddit, a centralized platform that is currently undergoing the process of enshittification. I miss the old internet.
