My guess is the combination of sort of sped-up audio and video plus lighting that is too even and "perfect", and the random blinks that don't seem to correspond to a regular human's average intervals (seriously, go look

Framing the Gender Recognition Act as making it easier for "teenagers to choose their gender" is a particularly misleading spin. Most of this article is just a very erudite spin on very classical and frankly kind of boring right-w

Until and unless Microsoft Office products are on Linux natively and are supported by Microsoft, Linux will never be a mainstream operating system. And that's never going to happen.

I mean, only insofar as he literally defines what is inappropriate for this forum. It's a bit of a tautology to say that, I think.

Oh no! The Internet is more easily accessible providing more knowledge and access to millions worldwide! It's not limited to our extremely exclusive clique of 1337 hackers who also all happen to be white, college-educated American men!

So that the ads are more personalized. I know this sounds weird, but if I'm going to get ads anyway, I'd like them to potentially be products I'm going to maybe have a use for and might make my life easier. I get the privacy

They challenged the validity of the election, and they failed. Yet they continue to insist on fighting a losing battle and possibly refusing to leave the White House. That's called a coup attempt. A pathetic one, sure. But a coup attem

It isn't really surprising when those foreign powers are actively hostile not only to your country, but to fundamental moral principles you hold dear. To be clear, it's definitely not at all better in any meaningful sense for Goog

I find it interesting that your example for "benefit of hindsight" is TypeScript. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, so it's literally "just add good stuff to the bad and live with it". Am I misunderstanding so

Hey, a fellow Google Code-In participant! I was really sad when I saw it was getting shut down this year.

The condescending tone of this article does not help it whatsoever. Not to mention the huge gaps in logic that cause it to jump from merely a misguided attempt to rail against well established conventions for interfaces to an active argumen

This article has a catchy title, but is absolutely terrible. Curated human recommendations and/or "YouTube staffers should think like journalists" are both two of the worst ideas for the internet I've heard in quite a lo

While this is all somewhat interesting, I'm not sure what the point here is - all of these things seem to be reasonable things to do?

I'd never think that the HN crowd would be into all that New Age Eastern Zen-Tao pointless philosophizing, but here we are.

My answer is that it isn't anywhere close to a bad thing. Our civilization can only continue to improve through measures and attitudes like this one.

I detect a not-so-subtle racist twinge in this comment...

Frankly, this comment is simply rude and ineffectual. It completely unnecessarily disrespects the good people in the OpenAI team. No one doesn't qualify as "real people".

Comparing infants in the early stages of development to mature, adult humans is disingenuous.

This special value that people place on touching and seeing is completely arbitrary. Your condescending attitude on this doesn't help you make your case in any way.

And these policies are only being egged on by people in the West who favor censoring hate speech, ostensibly to protect or defend minorities, instead of confronting dangerous ideologies head-on. It's a sad thing to happen to the Intern

Sure, it may be a bad-faith question, but I think the point still stands. IRC, as an open communications protocol, will always, always, always be better than private companies with the potential to be controlled by anything. Richard Stallma

We need regulation, but not in the authoritarian way you propose. We need to prevent any one person or organization from having too big a loudspeaker, and that means maintaining a free-expression attitude and creating regulation that ensu

The goal is not to convince people "China's economy is collapsing 25 question marks". The goal varies from article to article. This article is only trying to convince people that some companies are moving away from China for

Brain drain is a thing that exists, but I argue it's not really a problem. I'm not going to address the other aspects of your comment for now at least. I live in India, where complaints of brain drain are the main topic of discuss

I find that "hack" is simply a sort of close approximation to "jugaad", though this may just be entirely through the cultural context where it's used.

It's almost as if every piece of technology is a double edged sword. Anything that can be used to disseminate information can also be used to disseminate disinformation. It's the nature of things like this.
