Hacker News moment. Imagine someone over 60 whose career has nothing to do with computers trying to make sense of a list of 45 different payment processors to choose from.

You can say what you want about Musk (I personally think that he is an appaling human being), but Starlink represents everybody who pays for starlink to get access to the internet,…

"We are highly confident this text was AI generated" from gptzero, which is not perfect but is pretty spot on quite often. Just another small hint. I put his older blog posts there…

Yeah, there are two scummy things happening here. This would not be possible if they did their job. What sort of weird example does it set, when they don't ever care enough to stay…

I've used Hanami in exactly one production codebase (but it was a huge one). I fully expect to hear the chorus of "skill issue" TM type of comments and honestly, I won't even argue…

This is a very peculiar use of the word "random".

Again, I don't think you should be given antibiotics for a tick bite, unless you start showing symptoms, namely the infamous erythema migrans? Most ticks don't carry lyme.

"LymeAlert seeks to help people avoid the cost and the wait of going to the emergency room after being bitten by a tick" I might be mistaken, but I don't think you should go to the…

All of that in a very organic, and not at all coordinated way.

That's a bit like arguing that the USSR was, in spirit, trying to defend workers' rights, and therefore we should not have opposed it. At some point, the gap between what something…

If anything is racist here it's thinking that redheads are a separate race.

Looks like a marxist revolution is soon going to be on the mind of a lot of programmers. We've finally reached the point where the "means of production" in software are back in the…

Something I never thought I would utter: Here's hoping for china to surprise us.

Lol. What support? When they blocked my account the only way to contact them was to send a google form. Then they responded that they blocked my by accident and are unblocking me. …

Interestingly, when times were good, companies did everything in their power to pull employees' hobbies, interests, and social lives into the workplace. Hence the huge "campuses" a…

"Intellectuals are naturally attracted by the idea of a planned society, in the belief that they will be in charge of it." — Roger Scruton

Reminds me the Three Body Problem book and the scientists suddenly killing themselves because they cannot see any point to doing science any longer.

Choosing speed today is going to cost you tomorrow. Leaning on these tools degrades your actual abilities. You are making yourself less valuable to future employers. So while it mi…

What I find amazing is how HARD it is to make the LLM produce a piece of text that does not sound like slop. I have had dozens of sessions where I tried to make it write like a hum…

I think the op mean people writing stuff like: "Amazing what a human soul can create", "This is such a beautiful song. I'm so happy it's not another AI slop" type of comments. I ha…

That "another commenter" was Robin Williams - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fZkFooaaaSo

Half of the current startups could be done with a speadsheet and yet they earn money.

I think this is a major reason behind the backlash against AI. In the past, people celebrated tech billionaires because there was a widespread belief that, someday, they might join…
