This is true across every topic. Anything at all that someone can put into an LLM and get out an emoji-laiden wikipedia article sized post to slap on a heavily SEO-ed website is absolutely flooded with it. My parents…
Dark? That's just business as usual in a large chunk of the world, across every industry. Ask any company with a large, multi-continent presence and you'll get stories for days about this kind of stuff. Can the dictator…
I think their comment was more about user and consumer movement, plus both desire for, and need to utilize, frontier models to get the task done. With the token budget sticker shock and end of the honeymoon phase, just…
I expect there's no data to support this, but I really do think this is directly related to the age of the people responding, not their generation. Boomers today would much rather squawk about threatening lawsuits or…
To be fair, those are usually cases where the reason they turned off the internet is entirely unrelated to anyone doing something questionable, and more about personal political whims as security theater. As long as you…
Yeah, it's like conch. If it's not cooked low and slow, it's like chewing a bicycle tire. It takes a good 2-3+ hours to do it right.
I know people don't want to hear it, but when cooked correctly, wild-caught African land snails are actually delicious. They do take some work to scrub the foot pad, and you want to cook them for a long time to both…
18 months ago Google publicly stated they were going to start using browser fingerprint data to track users, a reversal of their 2019 policy on it because it was considered too invasive.…
Office is very much not a problem. LibreOffice has UI plugins that arrange everything in a standard Office pre-365 layout. I've been using it for years and I can't recall a single time I've ran into any issues. I think…
Came here to mention Max Miller as well. Amazing work putting together historical context and recipes. Always fun, fascinating, and the recipes are generally very approachable. I've also made the Babylonian stew from…
It really can't be understated how many non-profits operate on a shoestring budget and over-extend that few staff they can afford as a standard operating procedure, and have very low technical skill among everyone as…
As much as the original author bemoans having to do the labeling themselves, 99% of people don't care or don't have such a mix of cables as to make it a challenge to find one to suit the task. If you care, then care…
You can easily selfhost a redlib instance and keep reading. I stopped logging in to reddit a year or two ago, but there's still a couple niche communities that are worth it for me to read. Meanwhile, I'm back to a half…
At some point we all have to remember that the monitor showing these commands is also an actor, and not actually a computer hooked up to a special laser that scans your body, destroys it, and pulls you into a 1980's era…
If it has an HDMI port, and even better if it has a USB port for power, is you can buy an $40 Amazon Fire Stick and use and upgrade with your TV until it physically dies. Truly, no one should ever connect their "Smart"…
I thought the same thing - hopefully by the time Artemis III launches they'll remember the gaps and blank screens from this launch. Even the live telemetry model at the core stage separation seemed to not match what the…
Seconding all of this. The food is truly fantastic, and the Georgian people are awesome, but the way they've let Putin slide in to just the right places is holding back the country. I've never been so invested in a…
>Also, you don't understand that science is a process, based on evidence, and revision is an essential part of that process? I do, and the process is exactly the point. That human emotions affect the process far more…
>dismissed as fringe >I mean that's how science works. So you're saying it's a good thing to dismiss potential new discoveries because of feels? Not investigate further, not look for additional data to refute the theory…
I'm not the person you asked this of, but I've worked in museums and research settings and can lob a response your way. Ultimately, it's that scientists are humans, too. Despite some of them really making their research…
It's funny how 3 or 4 similar BLE systems each are slightly different, and yet no one wants to just merge all the features for an obviously superior product. Everyone seems fine squabbling about which incomplete…
The use cases stem from groups needing coordination in roughly the same area, with no internet. Disaster recovery efforts fit this exactly: Doctors Without Borders feeding centers in a famine far from anywhere,…
WhatsApp and Signal are considered "social media" technically, though plenty of people are still on FB telling the world about their trips and what they ate for breakfast. I'm always surprised at how HN folks are either…
I think the opportunity here is getting money from a bank account to an ETH or BTC wallet using "normal" means and not setting up a new account on a crypto exchange. Unless you're getting a paycheck in crypto, someone…
I didn't make the comment you're replying to, but views can exist independent of comments and likes, and bots can just as easily like and comment. Likes and comments by real humans can remain steady and bot views can…
