They're going to have quite a tall ladder to climb to become the "top model". Currently on LMArena they're nowhere near the top [0] in any of the important categories. [0] https://…

Exactly. One side prefers being miserly on science while spending lavishly on needless wars.

For me the issue isn't with the killing/eating of animals. Rather, it's how they are treated during their lifetime by the meat industry - which is essentially optimizing for the mi…

It’s doable. Let’s see how this thing goes and we’ll take it from there.

Hi HN, We wanted to celebrate the new year so we built this little toy. Enjoy it and happy new year! P.S. If you want, take a look at our product (now in early access) - userjam.co…

Came here to say this. I also don't understand why "secret chats" can't be kept in the cloud. Why can't they store encrypted messages and give them to me to decrypt when I want to?…

TBH, I've never been fired. I have fired a handful of people. All of them have been fired after more than a week (in some case, much more). I believe that all of them could have be…
