Even as someone really AI-forwards, there are just not enough selling points for me here. I almost never want to talk to an AI. I just don’t believe I’ll have a useful voice interaction. Maybe agents are here to fix that, but theres 30 year

Yesterday I helped a maaaaybe 40 year old woman connect to the wifi at my local library so she could get on a zoom call. Made me realize most of the world is exactly like that.

Criminally claude-authored. All the typical watermarked shit. Getting real tired of this.

Man, it's so important to read sometimes. I really hope HN people passing by this comment take a second to contemplate what's being said here. The claim: "the models are tuned to align with one side of the issue, he is an art

It's not that the models disagreed, the models reflected exactly the reality of the situation. Sample output: "However, the definitive, legally binding determination of Israel’s responsibility under the Genocide Convention has not

Stt/tts systems always seem to me so promising, but I pretty much never use voice to interface with a computer. Sometimes instead of typing on my phone, I use a voice dictation. I would be keen to use voice to control Claude code, but

If the corporate berries are really so bad, the invisible hand will push the company in the direction of society's aggregate wallet vote. Sounds like most people are fine with them. Outside of truly autocratic systems, sounds like thes

Victimhood stopped being a valid excuse on the 7th. I hope your friend over there is doing well, and hopes for peace as much as we all do over here. Maybe then we'll see an end to all this.

This reminds me of the Jewish Sabbath. Here in Tel Aviv, Saturday means no shops, much fewer restaurants, less programming on TV, gyms/etc open late/close early. The parks and beaches are full of people just existing.

I did something similar. My computer crawls lite.cnn.com each Saturday. I feed it all into Gemini who composes a "front page" with links in HTML. Then the whole thing is converted to a PDF and uploaded to my Google drive with the

Yeah, I second this. Like other comments have mentioned, you'd expect a human to add a video to such a post. I wonder what urged this robot to post this to HN.

Ukraine was historically more or less a free-for-all as far as front-line cinema is concerned. I have to imagine the situation in Iran is more difficult for a few reasons: 1. Gen AI is much better today than it was in 2022. So, both sides c

Speaking from an American perspective, many left-leaning commentators I've seen are focused on the ICE situation in the states right now. But that's the most optimistic take I can conjure.

Does anyone know how Iranians are _actually_ communicating right now? I remember seeing here on HN (admittedly a long time ago) some Bluetooth-mesh technologies that promised decentralized solutions to these very type of problems

I moved all my friends to Wire about a decade ago. Pretty, but the actual user experience was awful. We moved to Telegram and since then to Signal. I didn't actually know Wire was FOSS.

Very interesting to see "Technical Analysis" in this list. I'm no expert in the field, and TA always seemed like quackery to me, but I suspect many more people believe in it than for example Cryptozoology. I personally know s

If they're better - yes. ChatGPT is a very different product from Google Search. Return on Ad Spend could be significantly higher than even Google/Meta/ByteDance can offer.

I agree specifically, but disagree generally. As we become more and more acquainted with programming, a lot of what we do why we do it is incoherent nonsense to a beginner, but important nonetheless. The limit is actually your time and effo

Yes you can? Sure you can't run GPT5 locally, but get your hands on a proper GPU and you can run some still very sophisticated local inference.

No mention of anti-Asian discrimination? It made big rounds in all the American media circles a few years back, and if memory serves, MAGA boarded that train too.

There is an argument that "AI-generated shit" (on social media, or otherwise) can influence elections, and thus war. The best example I can think of is https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-68918330 .

And contrawise, if you exclusively watch what "the algorithm" feeds you, you'll find yourself drowning in brainrot fairly quickly.
