The thing I love about blog posts like these is how it reminds me that the tech world is a vast ocean that encompasses so many disciplines; it's not all full stack web development. Related: I did not understand 95% of what she wrote.

I suppose it's fitting that an article concerned largely with AI was written largely by AI. (I noticed a lot of GPT-isms.) I mean, it is mostly solid advice, e.g. asking AI to cite sources (and checking them!) and asking about the as

Did you use an AI to tweak/refine your comment? It's: * Written more formally than the typical HN comment * Uses uncommon language like "jocular asides" and "whimsical similes" * Fails to recognize that those m

AI isn't this funny.

Not everything you dislike is AI. I don't see any signs at all of AI authorship.

I agree with your last sentence, but on the subject of positive portrayals of US armed forces, the studios actually have an incentive to play nice. The DoD will let film productions use real equipment and personal, but only after vetting th

I can't believe a software developer is using an operating system/pdf viewer that isn't patched for security vulnerabilities as major as an RCE. Unless this was a zero day, but I would have assumed the article would mention t

Emojis? For the current weather, a single emoji could convey quite a lot; e.g. a snowflake for sub-60 weather (I have a low tolerance for cold), a sun for 60-80, fire emoji for 80+... Now, I don't know if anyone truly needs the weather

Well, no, which is why I threw in Kagi and Yandex as well. I can imagine Google and Microsoft altering rankings for certain results for political reasons, but Kagi seems too small to care about that, and Yandex isn't operating from the

There's a PEP for adding support for a __pythonpackages__ directory, similar to node_modules. https://peps.python.org/pep-0582/ Unfortunately the PEP is from 2018 and is still being discussed. The last post in the

I see comments like this all the time on these sorts of articles, and I have two criticisms: First, although "AI exhibits racial bias due to biased training data" is far more accurate, I think it's perfectly acceptable to con

When I Google it, the first result is... your post, and none of the other results include the word. Adding quotes to "badass" turns up (on the first page) a mechanics job posted in January, four hits for the same CNA job from over

To be fair, Yishan was CEO from 2012 to 2014, and back then they did way less content moderation. This was a time when blatantly racist subs like /r/coontown were allowed, as well as fringe subs like /r/watchpeopledie.

Funny you should ask that, I was just watching a video about car door manufacturing. Here's the timestamped link showing a worker in a modern factory spray painting a door. https://youtu.be/iPhwBUnR_XA?t=442 Now, how c

I can relate, and I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I remember dreading weekends because there was nothing to stop me from curling up in a ball and crying the whole day. And honestly, if you've taken advantage of FMLA, you

The stakes remain unchanged, because the stakes are the packages. Since there can't be that much profit in this activity, I think it's reasonable to assume that a lot of the people responsible are doing it just because it's e
