Profoundly patronizing tone here, telling folks that they need help thinking about why something as personal as the human right to privacy ought to be written off. No, my neighbors do not know everything I’m doing. We have doors and windows

Honestly it’s a good question. obviously a big part is walking through it. But I also think it’s because it’s this weird, dreamlike version. Because it’s low res and a little broken, it’s like walking through a place you know really well in

I lived in SF for nearly 20 years, though I mostly spend my time in New York now. And genuinely this made me emotional. Was weird as hell walking around my back yard. Going to the spot in Dolo that I used to haunt in my 20s. My favorite ten

The reason I am a writer and you are not is not because I can and you can't, it's because I do and you don't. Morality is precisely what's at stake here.

Now just imagine how much more meaningful those moments would have been if it had been a story that you actually wrote rather than something cobbled together from the works of previous writers and artists by an algorithm.

It assumes nothing about OP. It’s about what they made, not who they are.

So just because things are going to get worse we should accept each new horrible thing with open arms? Nope, let’s keep fighting against the things which cheapen our world and support those who enrich our lives.

Absolutely agree. This might be a fun personal project. But things like this only hasten the decline towards a dead internet where human-created things with heart and intent are impossible to locate among the dregs of paper-thin AI drivel w

They can do so anytime they pick up an instrument. But plugging things into AI is not making music.

This is a baseless argument. A human being and a machine are fundamentally different. A human being synthesizes things from the world and it becomes a part of them. The art they produce is filtered through their unique brain and life experi

Nothing was stopping them from making music before other than laziness. I’m so sick of hearing this excuse. “I can’t draw so I use AI,” as if the people who can draw were born that way. No, they spent countless hours practicing and that’s w

You just have to ride the wave with social media sites. Same as dating apps. Use them before they rot.

Infowars is a supplements business. It’s grifts all the way down.

This article is kind of hilariously like almost every conversation you have at the disc golf course, but it’s always something different. The reach back position, the power pocket, the elbow angle, the follow through, pouring the coffee, tu

I really hope you’re wrong. I suspect that the future is technology which blends further into the background rather than being shoved closer to our faces.

Still an absurd argument. We get a lot of nutritional value from plants and you still take shits after eating meat.

Getting what nutritional value it can and pooping out the rest is just literally what eating is.

Yeah, I’ve tried posting on housing swap web sites. But it seems they’re more geared towards full swaps which are shorter.

Yup, that’s it exactly. There’s a good chance that you would be alone in one city or the other. And in theory you could both treat the second room as a guest room. With consent, etc.

This is by far the most time we've spent on a tool at Glumdark. It's intended for use in TTRPG campaigns. We use a lot of madlibs-style randomness drawing from dozens of tables with hundreds of rows of handwritten content. Some of

I built something last week to do exactly this. I think if I post it here it will get HN hug of death'd because it's on a free Heroku tier and has an API limit. But DM me if you'd like the link.

This is so bizarre. I just wrote a program to do this last week. Precisely the same thing. I did it with the Google Translate API first, and you can translate it into 100 different languages and back again without ANY data loss whatsoever.

Yes, that was always the draw of the Nexus and Pixel lines. "Vanilla Android." Really hope that's still the case, though I've switched back to iPhone for a number of reasons.

I've actually thought about this quite a lot. Not because I have an expertise in the matter--I don't. But because it's such a fascinating thought experiment. My proposed solution goes something like this: It is hard to convey
