Automation seems like a very surface-level reading of this article. Outsourcing your thinking, especially uncritically, is. There is a very obvious cognitive bias in the most vehement AI advocates where the one time a tool worked really wel

I'll give Germany credit insofar that it matters less than one would think. The only identifying documents that carry this information are passport and birth certificate. Social security number if you know how to read them. You will st

Trans women are not male, including biologically if you assume HRT. This is overcompensating rationality to shit on a group of people that are functionally intersex for "biological" distinction. And we're not even talking abo

After the last time Cloudflare released some vibecoded crap that wasn't what they said it was (this happened more than once, but the last one was Matrix), my interest to engage with this was near zero. The name did the rest. Fuck this

Yeah, that must be it. Everyone who doesn't agree with my simple world view is brainwashed. On the website that's 50% LLM glazing now. Yeah I think I'm out of here.

Those don't usually have problems with providing ID for attestation??! Like, this is not a gotcha, at all? The casual cynicism on this website really is something.

This comment makes no sense to me. As an individual user, opting out takes 24 hours and is much easier than rooting. Either your criticism is that this is prohibitive for too many users who aren't likely to care enough to ever root the

This is great if you have IPv6 support from your ISP. Not so great if you don't. Before someone mentions tunnels: Last time I tried to set up a tunnel Happy Eyeballs didn't work for me at all; almost everything went through the tu

I have the same issue with the shape of my ears not fitting any ANC headphones (and many larger over-ear ones). The only alternative to the APM I found that doesn't hurt after a few hours was the Sonos Ace. Which also have a price that

And even if it does, the mods don't have real control to moderate communities either, so you get the worst of both worlds. I don't go to most queer reddit communities anymore because a lot of them have bots that downvote trans-pos

There is a point where the increase in diversity of products is not real economic growth, it's compensating for lack of demand. We even invented the entire discipline of marketing to manufacture demand so the line can keep going up. Is

It's not primarily discrimination, though if you want to describe it as a side-effect, sure. We live in an imperfect world. Sexual assault is horrifyingly common and even normalized in banter in our culture. Whereas "black crime&q

Typically? I mean sure, those spaces exist, but the typical "leftist space" is usually still drenched in rape culture, maybe with some pretense of not being so (ending up as a bad experience for everyone except the self-important

That's not even as close to as smart of a gotcha as you think it is.

Just use an open weight model like GLM-5 behind an aggregator (OpenRouter, NanoGPT) then. That is a commodity market, right now.

The financial barrier is kind of the opposite of "easy to run" to me. As much as I love owning my stack, you'd have to use so much of this to break even vs an inference provider/aggregator with open frontier-ish models.

As a "foreign national", what's the deal with making the distinction between domestic mass surveillance and foreign mass surveillance? Are there no democracies aside from the US? Don't we know since Snowden that if the U

This website makes the error of assuming that being criticized on HN automatically implies your idea is not marketable. Every point about ChatGPT and Claude Code is true. Not only is their material value detached from reality (as tends to b

Good for you, genuinely! Far from a universal experience though. People who rely on art to survive right now. People who don't have the energy to do more "productive" work on weekends. And those that work weekends to survive

Well, we're already seeing very asymmetric enforcement. Systems surrounding capitalism tend to bend in favor of those who already benefit from it.

I don't think I disagree strongly. But I also don't think generative AI tools will do that just based on how they're built. Everything they can do, someone probably did better from scratch.

by _cenw 8mo ago
The problem is really that we live in a system that demands we find commercially exploitable value in almost everything we do. If my main strategy for that involved a skill that generative AI could perfectly copy, including my style by invo

Calling them guardrails is a stretch. When NSFW roleplayers started jailbreaking the 4.0 models in under 200 tokens, Anthropics answer was to inject an extra system message at the end for specific API keys. People simply wrapped the extra m
