Why are you assuming that a document likely to be picked up and a good document are equivalent? We might be in for tech docs becoming SEO (LLMO?) friendly slop.

A sum of people with this attitude is what a megacorp is and why they're hated.

Isn't this mostly circular? Let pichai, nadella and friends hold the bag. We'll be fine.

If they can set a single machine as target every few years and make it work, that would be a lot better than having no alternative. M1 support is pretty usable nowadays, and I woul…

Their amazing laptop hardware pushes you into their ecosystem. Once you're on macOS, might as well get iphone rather than Android and benefit from the synergy, same for airpods or …

It is very possible to injure yourself with calisthenics. Shoulder impingement or tendinitis from pullups with too much intensity/bad form for example. Weight is weight.

Would the accused party have to prove compliance? Or would non compliance have to be proved by the accuser? Honest question, I'm not American.

How many times have you seen an expert go "yeah these results are good consistently enough for a non expert to trust them without expert assistance"? There is a huge difference bet…

To the tv through the deck, is what I understood (maybe not using the smart features of the tv?)

Economics is hardly a reproducible science, but an American company has basically instant access to 350 million consumers (and workers) with no language barrier and little inter-st…

I know HN is mostly against regulation, but I'm very glad my country restricts mass firings, and particular stricter rules apply for companies that turn a profit. If you're generat…

It's a fascinating period to learn to navigate. It is very rare for a startup leader (usually very hands-on and practical minded) to be able to delegate and think strategically wel…

Man I wish they would just chase fads. They chase the most morally corrupt version of a fad every time, it's like their business is black mirror episodes as a service.

Angel investor with Fintech background? Are they going to push for cashapp/bizum like features?

I guess that depends on the kind of project, how common the intent is, how self contained, etc.

Absolutely! This is a point that tends to kill introverted/insecure people I think. They assume that asking for permission is making things easier for people, but there's a limit w…

>the work of the editor does have value. it's just a different value. I mostly agree with that, with some caveats (in short, there's an uncomfortably thin line to appropriating the…

I should have clarified or quoted, my bad. I was talking about the work references, mainly this paragraph: >was I tempted to use AI to speed things up? No. It would be like hooking…

Yeah, the somelier argument. It doesn't work for me sorry, because you wouldn't accept a book by John, a friend of Hemingway, as a Hemingway book no matter how much he assisted in …

I think the argument is misguided, even if I agree with the principle: it is based in the effort one puts in and how it's similar to a sport. I don't care whether my favorite autho…

During his first term, his continuous threats to north Korea were enough to force congress to restrict presidential powers (the whole fire and fury stuff), and that's not counting …

More than you can imagine. OKRs, brag documents, quarter reviews.... Kidding aside, I would be surprised if something larger than using it as a thesaurus/corrector is slipping by. …

I haven't seen any minimal sign that any of the fiction books I read lately was LLM helped. Writers seem like a particularly anti AI crowd too. Has anyone? Now I'm curious if it's …
