> Personally, I do not know a better alternative. For a long time, traditional encyclopedias had a much better track record on topics related to politics and society, simply becaus…

The page mentioned in the article seems to focus on "AI Data Centers". Looks like it's a much smaller set of hyperscale stuff, not every telco building with a bunch of racks. Howev…

I don't know what you're saying. This is the second or third HN post I'm seeing this month along the lines of "how dare AI companies flag my code as AI-generated". I just don't rem…

"Sent from my iPhone" But of course, owning an iPhone early on was seen as prestigious. Using an LLM is... not? Many people really don't want the world to know. For blogs in partic…

I'm old enough to have owned a number of homes in a number of jurisdictions, so I'd caution that these numbers will differ significantly depending on where you live. For example, i…

This is an AI-written story. It exists to get upvoted and reshared, so overly-dramatic language is the point.

US real estate in many desirable metro areas is bonkers too. And yet, Canadian engineers want to move to the SF Bay Area...

On some superficial level, sure: you have to follow the rules because if you don't, it won't end well for you. But the reason for these rules isn't just self-aggrandizement. Ultima…

Commendable accuracy, too: https://godbolt.org/z/s9haz611Y

> Tricky things like privately held companies, maybe we solve that one later So I spend 30 minutes to set up an LLC and then transfer my assets to that LLC. Now, I don't hold the a…

I don't think there are many people in the West who profess love for the UAE. But there are several reasons why it's not as disliked. First, it's a monarchy, and monarchies are har…

Not being a single-party, notionally communist dictatorship may be helping with the image too? I don't know, spitballing here. I think the default approach in the West - and that's…

> I have been thinking this for quite a while now, electric planes will kill a lot of rail routes Why? If you have an existing rail network, trains are bound to be cheaper than pla…

They used to be. They are not. Try Pangram, you'll be surprised.

Would it shock your conscience to learn that Microsoft security operations probably have contacts with the Redmond PD and that they occasionally discuss concerns? The existence of …

And as much as there are still people on HN who insist that AI text can't be detected algorithmically, it's worth noting that the original story is marked 100% AI by Pangram. So it…

> Why wouldn’t people read it? The problem is not writing - the problem is finding an audience. And that's precisely the issue here. For a while, the internet allowed you to find a…

There's plenty of things that are ubiquitous but not well-liked, so I don't see how "it's not going away, get over it" works as an argument. Many people won't be getting over it. T…

Right, if you're a software engineer, the realization that the two theorems are nearly-equivalent really takes the air out of a lot of the existential philosophizing around Gödel's…

This is, quite obviously, just one person's perspective on life. But it's a call to action, so let me ask you this: what do you propose? From your response, I see two takeaways: do…

Anthropic and OpenAI don't do PR this way. This is not a side project for a publicly-traded BigCo. The bulk of their valuation hinges on being first to AGI / best at AGI.

> The AI answers provide tons of source links. A lot of the time, the answer itself is good, but the links are spam blogs and Tiktok videos. I don't think there's a real connection…

Why? It's clearly not yet a tool that can deliver new math at a scale. I say this because otherwise, the headline would be that they proved / disproved a hundred conjectures, not o…

There's no one correct way to parse integers. Do you want to support 0x prefixes? Is a leading zero an indicator or octal, a zero-padded decimal, or a syntax error? Are you willing…
