ADHD is known to be able to affect speed and consistency of output, even of mastered material, and in a variety of ways -- hence "I have no idea..." Standard diagnostic questionnai…

The site guidelines also say to assume good faith, to converse curiously, edit out swipes, not go fulminate, and to avoid grandstanding. Before calling me dishonest, did you stop t…

You are assuming that because you are giving the operator money that you are entitled to use their website however you please -- that's not how it works. If you enter a brick & mor…

I had that one too. I remember I used to crunch on the rice from the bag it came with (I was like 8).

I will say that yes, sadly, I have browsed through code written by people, and sadly also have browsed through code written by LLMs. Who do you suppose wrote the code the LLM was t…

I'm genuinely a bit floored reading the comments here, but I guess my idea of the average HN commenter's ability to talk to non-technical folks about technical topics is biased bec…

No worries, I thought so, and agree with your point -- I'm a fan of your work and datasette historically was something I leaned on often at work and in personal projects. I have re…

> One of the arguments for open source software for end-users has always been the freedom to examine and modify how that software works. A corollary is that more people will have e…

Beyond what was provided natively in ChromeOS, you could often get something like GalliumOS working on them. My old Chromebook was fairly painful to use as a Chromebook, but Galliu…

What is the point of a sock puppet if you can't be explicit about what specifically you found worrying there? And I thought I was neurotic Anyway recently I watched a video in whic…

I recently googled the phrase "German Jews who voted for NSDAP" after seeing it mentioned in passing The AI overview contained the construction "Consensus on Reddit is..." What a t…

I think you are conflating senses of the word, or rather you are defaulting to a very specific usage. There's the usage "Iranian national cuisine" which as you say is inherently po…

I maintain my wrong typographical usages these days as a weak signal that I am not a machine

It's strange reading a piece of text, having one's AI-dar flag it, then noticing that it's a piece of writing from 10 years ago, and remembering that AI writes this way in part bec…

Sure, but I don't really understand what the argument is to _not_ be transparent about methodology, since if the models are so powerful, then doing so would easily support the clai…

Too bad. I considered pre-empting this exact response, and I did not, so here we are! The term "national" doesn't simply mean "having to do with a nation state". I promise that I d…

OK, I'll bite. In this particular case I personally would have said "a restaurant of your national cuisine" or even omit the adjective altogether since it's somewhat obvious from t…

Right, I think the usual point here that if your goal is to make a game, then this is usually the painful route and conveniently one that up-fronts the likely more exciting and com…

For a concrete example, consider e.g. Operation Condor which displaced my own family > Operation Condor (Spanish: Operación Cóndor; Portuguese: Operação Condor) was a campaign of p…

For all we know, the prompt provided compelling evidence that the requestor had authorization to pentest the target server. Or there may have been nuance in the network configurati…

The author is trying to provide a counterweight to the volume of articles that simply repeat OpenAI's account of the events and their interpretation without much pushback. They are…

I agree with you that the article was disappointingly light, but there is not in general a singular correct answer when it comes to interpreting narrative and I don't think that is…
