Did you read the article you are commenting on? > There will inevitably be some people who dismiss this story as a dishonest marketing trick by OpenAI to make their models sound te…

You’re right; you can make this claim about anything. We have to be careful about which things we spend resources worrying about, and if we’re overzealous with restrictions we pay …

Right. But I think the fear is that if we wait for this type of evidence, it will be too late.

What would compelling evidence look like to you?

I think what's actually happening is that the "threshold" of technical understanding required to be more productive than average is increasing, and other non-technical skills are b…

> Gen Z and Gen A are now very much opposed to AI This is true as a sentiment, but my understanding is that the majority of students are overwhelmingly using AI for ~everything. If…

The copy on your website itself kind of reads like LLM slop (eg. "One week. Three senior engineers. $10,000"). You may have written it yourself and marketing copy just tends to loo…

> It's not a hosting contract, it's an arms race with a moving target. Why use an LLM to write an HN comment? What does anyone gain from this?

I actually don’t think the summary is bad and I do think the comment is helpful and am glad to have read it; I just would have preferred to know it was AI before I started reading.…

Hm, this comment makes me realize that there isn’t really a social consensus on whether or not AI generated content is welcome in these kinds of discussions. On one hand, I’m gener…

I’m sure I’d use it as a physical volume knob

I like projects like this; totally unnecessary, but fun in a kind of absurd way. I tried to post a comment but I didn’t really want to fork your repo, is there no other way of doin…

I have an Ender 3 (one of the cheapest available consumer 3D printers) and have had success using Inkscape to generate gcode for it. For anyone interested, Processing/p5.js are gre…

The posted solution seems to work even when the objects have zero area, and are just points in space. If you just surrounded the target with 16 points, there would either be gaps o…

Fans who really want to see their favorite artist/sports teams get extorted, and the money goes to scalpers instead of the artists and venues which are actually providing value. Sc…

This is also more or less how I talk to other engineers when they find bugs I’ve written :)

This looks really cool and I’m sure the tech can be used to do all kinds of interesting things, but I’m struggling to think of an actual use case for the product. From the marketin…

My feeling is that there is no overlap whatsoever between use cases for a real dog vs. a robot dog…

Cool project, although it seems to think the word “male” has moderate female bias... word embeddings can be fussy. I would think you could just compare cosine similarities between …

What you described sounds a lot like what I’ve been going thru, especially the part about “fear of anxiety itself being the bigger issue”. Have things gotten better for you?

I had to read the headline at least six times before I figured out what it meant.
