Specifically, they have an opt-in request and an associated toggle in Settings for using Siri conversations to improve their AI.

Problem is, if they didn’t put in the effort to write the article, how can I trust that they put in the effort to verify the facts? Not to mention that the article is terribly verbose and never gets to its point (by the time I gave up, that

I think this is AI. It’s not as bad as some, but it’s got that breathless enthusiasm and drones on and on without ever quite getting to its point.

It’s not contradictory if it can change the world without being something software engineers specifically can work with.

There’s no shilling here. The person who posted the link isn’t the person who wrote the blog.

Your parent comment reads like AI slop, so you may not be as good at editing as you think. Worth thinking about the impression you’re conveying about yourself.

Why would you guess that? “Prediction is hard, especially when it’s about the future.”

Don’t ask Hacker News for legal advice. If you really want to know the answer, ask a lawyer.

The issue is that scrapers are rotating their IP and essentially performing a DDoS attack. Anubis is part of a defense-in-depth solution. If scrapers reuse a cookie, traditional anti-abuse mechanisms will work.

Yep, that would make sense.

That’s a pretty reasonable hypothesis. The article says that they’re careful with what they post, but I haven’t actually looked up their content. It’s also possible that Meta just doesn’t want strip clubs on their platform at all, regardles

The facts are quite clear: 1. A Canadian business posted an image of a sign criticizing the US administration 2. Soon after, their Instagram account was suspended. 3. This has happened before with their Twitter account, which they were able

To be clear, the administration is making racist arcade games (e.g., a Tetris knock-off about the Mexican border that portrays Mexicans as literal aliens and zombies), not causing other people to make their arcade games racist.

I loved Forever War, but I don’t think it would make a great film. It needs space to breathe. A 8-hour limited series, on the other hand…

Given the number of people claiming to be CEO of HTMX, I have to ask: what’s the joke I’m missing?

I’m not seeing the problem you’re describing. It has a name: the marginal utility of money. $1,000 is worth a lot to someone who has nothing, less to someone who has a million, practically nothing to someone who has a billion. So, yes, it a

I don’t have the link right now, but I recall a study of some sort that examined brain activity and decision making. The “emotion” part lit up first, then the “reasoning” part. Essentially, we make decisions based on emotion, then come up w

Are you a lawyer? I’m not, but the Legal Eagle video linked elsewhere in this thread says that the reasons for the search are the crux of the “lawful” part, not the location. (The location was at the port of entry—the border—which is pretty

The alleged crime is knowingly interfering with a lawful search (by providing a duress password that deleted the phone). Location has nothing to do with it.

The “hidden until found” feature surprised me. What’s the use case for something like that?

This quote stood out to me: “Everyone else, I would say, was more of a ChatGPT person, and again, using it for small secretarial tasks or consumer fun use cases. But I didn’t meet a lot of people who suggested to me that AI was essential or

Okay, you told us what it said. Now what do you think? Do you have any expertise in this field? Do you have reason to believe that an LLM has the ability to predict the future with any accuracy (and if so, why)? If we want to hear from an

> Way more people die of being exposed to the cold than exposed to the heat. I was skeptical of this claim, so I looked it up. You’re right. Globally, about 9x as many people die due to cold-related causes than heat-related causes. It’s

Portland to Seattle is about 140 miles and has constant flights. Even if a small part of the flight uses fuel, that’s major cost savings.

It’s always charged. You plug it in when you get home and it’s ready to go when you leave.

It’s Trump, not the USA, and he seems to be ruled by passions rather than logic. Mostly, his goals seem to be to seek wealth and adoration by any means necessary. Now that he’s in it, there’s no way out, and particularly no way out that d

This is mostly recapitulating the article “AI Mania is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making” that was posted here a week or two ago. https://hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global...

It doesn’t matter. You’re saving nanoseconds when a db access costs milliseconds. Better to focus on making the code easy to understand and change and focus your effort on optimizing the database.

I’ve had people tell me, with a completely straight face, that they expected 10-100x productivity improvements. This is at the executive and VC level. The mania is extreme.
