Near everything is a social relation, if I'm understanding your point right. Why is charging for software different from charging for most any other thing?

It's still monthly if you're only looking at a single monthly point outlier (1 month happened to be the lowest in 2 years). If unemployment stays (or improves) at this level for an…

60Hz monitors definitely prevent it, but I'm pretty sure USB lag is far less than 12-30ms. My USB mouse can make a round-trip to a remote server faster than that.

Yes, that's what a deficit does until it becomes a surplus. Debt cannot go down until the deficit is gone .

I think it's a little brash, but I do think that if we could accurately measure "care" that people with 1 child care statistically slightly more for them than those with 5 might ca…

Which idea? The marketing, or the goal? Because nothing about DOGE was an idea about making the government "efficient". It was about weakening the government.

It's not a silly definition. it's the definition. And it make far more sense than saying people are part of a community simply because they happen to have the same overlapping valu…

If there is no such thing, how have people found weaknesses in various cryptographic algorithms over the years? The weaknesses are incorrect algorithms.

The term gatekeeping gets thrown around so much now that I feel like ive forgotten what it even means. What they are doing is having rules. All communities above a certain size nee…

The Mercor, micro1, Outlier, DataAnnotation, etc, listings are obviously fake, because when you see them on LinkedIn it's always in waves. When you come across one there is 30+ oth…

> That's why algorithms got weakened by researchers regularly. That's the 3rd point. correctness of the algorithms.

Those are different individual values, not different communities. All of the conversation is co-mingled in the same threads that everyone sees. Everyone is expected to follow HN ru…

"You criticize society, yet you participate in it. How curious."

If the underlying prompt of the model stays the same, it seems to me that LLMs will always have common tells unless overridden with a thorough prompt from the end user. It's like i…

HN isn't a bunch of disconnected communities that sometimes overlap due to algorithmic feeds. It's one community with one front-page.

You're attacking his word choice, but the context is clear that it would be protected.

> He’s been mayor of New York for, what, 8 months? > Give that guy a chance to properly fuck things up before you pass judgment. I really, really , urge you to try seeing the hypoc…

I'd even say (collective) intelligence is limited by I/O. It's why we talk so much about signal to noise ratios with regards to communication.

Obviously. It sounds like the kind of question you always say yes to unless you're trying to get out of jury duty. And yet, people aren't machines.

Thats why they also added the no harassing about LLM rule. Im not sure how the moderators will actually discern AI use, but I imagine if the code is high quality they dont actually…

I will take the birds of paradise as the extreme, single example of signaling that it is. Of course signaling is a short cut. You cant transmit your entire lifes experiences to ano…

You think status signaling isn't part of biology? That it just happened to independently appear in every human culture and many animals that we are aware of?
