Agree. I think many people forget that not long ago, HTML markup on many sites was a lot richer than it is today. Making it trivial to produce a good trimmed down markdown version. The reason it may be more difficult today is because we&#x2

In general I think I just don't like the idea of one URL being able to return different content. Forces me to think about what each system I give that URL to may be sending in content negotiation headers. Would rather the HTML is retur

Thanks. I posted that comment before they had added support - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48353325 - didn't know situation had changed. But it's something I think developers should think about if they rel

I agree. I think a lot of people here are assuming that the full HTML retrieved has to go into the LLM eating up tokens. But why wouldn't the agent try to clean up first and remove bloat and convert to markdown itself, before feeding i

I agree with Roy Fielding on this: > It is a bad design trade-off to send a bunch of header fields on every request just to tell the server all of the possible variations of preference held by the user, particularly when there is a very

I don't know enough about models that produce images, music, video to know how much human thinking and creativity can shape their output. But with text, the kind of output you get from a simple throwaway prompt like 'write me an e

That's an interesting idea to try as a browser extension. I think Facebook is particularly egregious here, so I doubt you'd need to run something like this on other sites. But if it worked fast enough on just Facebook, it would be

This reminded me of an old documentary about corporations: "If we look at the corporation as a legal person, it exhibits all the characteristics of a psychopath" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5hEiANG4Uk

I personally have no insight into what they have or haven't dismantled. Just found the article interesting (had never heard of the company). Was responding to the "They seized the wrong domain" claim in the tweet you quoted.

Google shows netnut.com[1] being the same thing, so not sure it's the wrong domain. Maybe not the main one. Brian Krebs' comment on this[2]: > Pretty sure they're working on getting that domain too, but it's taking lo

This article, as with many like it, ignores the fact that trust in "traditional media" is at an all time low globally. That's not because people enjoy fake news on social media, it's because traditional media has failed

I'm not in the camp that believes AI is actually going to reach human intelligence. So yes, AI is simply dumb. But many people overlook the fact that many of our jobs today require exactly that level of dumbness. So saying AI is dumb d

My post focused more on trying to question why we value jobs so much, beyond the paychecks they offer. I didn't get into alternatives, but Universal Basic Income (UBI) is what you'll see discussed most often as an alternative. I&#

On your first point, I agree with you that it's a deeply held belief. But that doesn't make it reasonable. That's why I think it's worth the effort trying to question it, especially at a time when there's so much di

I agree, but I think it's a shame that this purpose to life is tied to jobs. It's understandable, because pretty much everyone's path in life is schooling, then a job. So the job becomes our purpose and identity. Job loss can
