That might be true. And for pedantic literary critics and writers, it might be very important to use the proper length dash. For anybody else, the difference between the long dash,…

My spidey sense is tingling with this post. If someone was really scared that their text would be assumed to be AI, why wouldnt you at least stop using the obvious AI-sign, i.e. th…

That reading gives the capacity to gain a better understanding, doesn't mean that all readers use it that way. The act of reading itself doesn't make the people more willing to be …

I hate these discussions on HN. Unless we first agree on what 'good' and 'bad' are, this question is basically nonsense. In any case, what you choose to do on your own in your free…

I think you can compare it to watching a movie. You won't recall at the end what color jacket the character was wearing, or what the name of the victim was, but you still get the m…

I think constantly checking if you can recall the last paragraph is a bad habit. It not only requires mental effort, it also breaks your flow. I have ADHD myself, and I advise you …

I feel for this author. Not because of his attention span, but rather that his whole life has been lived trying to conform to someone else's ideals. Can't read in middle or high sc…

But isn't that user error? If you want to run a program that can read your current directory's contents and possibly upload that to the cloud, would you run that in a directory wit…

Is it really? Statistically I would assume that if you select a bunch of people on a certain criterium, you're going to see similarities related to that criterium among that group.…

I don't know if it's a real screenshot at the bottom of OP (the blue on black icons), but that' hilarious if it is.

I'm a little bit less cynical about it; most police still live with the assumption that all of our allies are trustworthy. If the US says there is a credible threat, they rather ex…

> It's common-sense, not an OPINION to deport illegal immigrants It's not though. More immigrants mean more people buying products, paying taxes on them, supporting local business,…

Hopefully you understand that there's an obvious selection bias you encounter when talking to folks from NL or DE in California. Ofc the people that moved will think there's a good…

You're false. Research has shown that if people like sound A, they will like it even better when you play sound A louder. The change in mixing and mastering can be largely explaine…

Perhaps I'm playing advocate of the devil here: But does the fact that you have preconceived expectations about 'try for free' necessarily mean that a business offering 'try for fr…

Did you ever click 'report broken website' button? It's there specifically for those cases.

ah yes the browser that uses your pc to mine crypto is the answer.

True. The body is perfectly capable of telling you when it needs water, it's called being thirsty. If you're thirsty, drink, otherwise don't.

> those sanctions failed to target Stark’s remaining connection to the Internet — an Internet service provider based in the Netherlands called MIRhosting. The fuck, i walk past the…

"hey, i have this add on that changes how websites are displayed, and I just wanted to let you know that my changes to your website break the site! Thanks"

It basically functions the same way as gambling machines. There's a hook that gets people to play, and then the game itself uses psychological techniques to keep people playing, li…

ah my bad. You're right, the author specifically states 'OPEN CTFs'. I think that keyword slipped my mind by the time I was at the end of the article. So my question then becomes, …

> Rules that ask people not to use LLMs are ignored and almost impossible to enforce in open online events. That's such a non-reason. If your competition cannot enforce the rules o…

> The issue was never that AI could help. CTF players have always used tools. [...] Teams that refused to use AI were not just missing a convenience; they were playing a slower ver…

I've heard online from (American) immigrants to the Netherlands that Dutch life can seem pretty boring. But I think this just signifies a major cultural difference between the US a…
