Does HN do proactive detection and/or flagging of comments determined to be AI generated? I understand if information publicized on how this process might work is intentionally restricted, so as not to be easily circumvented. I'm

Personal anecdotal experience, but I experienced my most rapid period of hair loss while taking creatine. This was for about 1 year when I was 22-23. It could be underlying genetic predisposition to hair loss, but I do believe the creatine

I have mixed feeling on this. Some parts of this are probably good advise, at least with respect to clocking titular promotions. No disagreement around visibility of delivered "big wins" being key. However, I feel like this articl

Seems there's a lot of comments in here expressing discontent with the dismantling of GT programs. I won't speak as to where/how GT programs should be implemented, I have no idea. However, I did attend a GT program during ele

Yup. There's definitely some neighborhoods like Great Falls where it seems like everyone is either a corporate exec, a federal politician, or a pro athlete.

I'm 29 years old, and I have definitely noticed my memory getting worse over the last ~5 years. I've always wondered if this is something to do with sleep deprivation, increased stress from work/school, or just the natural ef

Southwest is my favorite airline for domestic US travel. Two free checked bags by default is amazing. I also personally like the no assigned seats, and no first class. I also had an experience with a delayed bag once, which took about an ho

For something kind of in the same vein, a youtuber Chad Caruso rode a skateboard all the way across America from Venice Beach, CA to Virginia Beach, VA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAOh89b7mE&list=PLVAaokG6re... So

As I understand the bill is solely focused with the national security implications of ByteDance being China-based, and not the social impacts of short form video platforms on mental health, attention span, etc. Good news for Instagram Reels

They seem to heavily invest in their social media presence with things like the YouTube channel, but then also use social media indicators (likes/follows/subs/etc) as a measure of success. Seems a little circular. The plot of

Similar to the firing-unfiring of Sam Altman, so much of this seems to be boil down to OpenAI's puzzle-box organizational structure. It seems like the whole "capped for-profit within a non-profit" is not going to to work long

Despite being framed as something for legacy C/C++ codebases, this is pretty good advice for setting up testing and CI automation around any project. I recently started on a new Rust project, and despite not having to worry about thing

Neat, I didn't realize you could order it like that. I'm realizing now another (and potentially stronger influence) is just years of muscle memory starting pipelines with cat.

I also use cat this way, and for me the biggest reason is it just allows for a more intuitive left-to-right reading of any pipeline. Things like this: head -n 500 access.log | grep ... head -n 500 <access.log | grep ... Feel like you sta

I recently took a Distributed Systems course, and I also thought it was very interesting and unexpected how in the most basic form of Paxos, there is no concept of node roles or hierarchy like leader/follower, master/replica, etc.

I also used RDS Blue/Green deployment to apply a MySQL major engine version upgrade from 5.7 to 8.0. With respect to downtime it worked fantastically, I think we measured 13 seconds of observable downtime from the API. However we did l

I'd consider buying a headset that could do the following: - Virtual desktop experience at least as good as a single 27inch monitor - Doesn't make me nauseous or hurt my neck - Isn't egregiously expensive (3,500 is pretty ste

I kind of agree with you, but to play devil's advocate, AirPods basically reset the baseline perspective around bluetooth headsets. Before AirPods, bluetooth headsets were definitely not cool, and mostly just utilitarian. I mostly asso
