I can't speak on everyones behalf and I am not just referencing Linux here, I am also referencing the great family of BSDs, but having the full source available as part of the install is what I'm all about. If that is _counter cul

The peak of human civilization, for me, was downloading Shrike and actually having it work "out of the box". If an absolute moron like me could get that to boot up with next to no involvement or fudging through the user manual, I

If the op/poster is here, you will appreciate this: Waters of Life by Mystical Sun (Deeperworlds, 2006). See if that rings any bells.

No you are not missing anything. This is a more recent bait-and-switch method of writing articles. I'm not sure where it comes from but if I had to be extra pessimist, I'd say it is a trope among failed writers. Sometimes they use

Hi tosmatos, Please have a look at PACE soldering/desoldering videos on youtube. They are dated but very good in general. You don't need a lot of videos, just the basics. https://paceworldwide.com/video/basic-

Is OpenAI hiring for this position? I think it is a pretty creative job to come up with these scenarios and then pass them off as accidents/mistakes. Would love to be part of the team that says "As part of the upcoming GPT rollout

HN needs to start prohibiting people from submitting posts when they turn up AI-generated content. They can still post comments, they just can't submit new threads. This is a site for humans and human-created writing. The article is a

But you still have the downvotes and the flagging in case you fall out of line. Oh, and the "You're posting too fast, please slow down."
