Tangentially , I was a heavy used of wsl and moved to linux a few months ago and LLMs made most of the downsides of using linux as a desktop go away for me. I chatted with claude about the migration to find the best distro, decided on Fedor

Since this is HN let's be factually correct. Almond production is irrelevant in water usage. The bulk of it is going to animal agriculture.

There is also "leito-cama" which is the top category, one above "leito".

Regardless of the vegan part the point still stands. It was also my first though reading the article before I came here to read the comments.

Yeah, I never actually used or shared/sold any of it since it was mostly a game for me. But nowadays I understand it is a very bad idea even just to store this kind of stuff.

I don't know how old OP is but I did a lot of dumb stuff on the internet 25+ years ago when I was a teenager. Including writing viruses and stealing credit card information. I'm glad things were a lot different back then.

Frankly I think it's a lost cause and sadly doesn't make sense to waste energy on it anymore. I eventually abandoned my de-googled phone exactly because I couldn't use my bank with it.

I really don't understand why every time a big project is forked People are so upset. IMO, one of the great things about open source software is that a fork is possible. Maybe it will go nowhere, maybe some good ideas will be fed back

What about using vpns to connect through different timezones ?

100% agree. The article does not seem to be written by someonene who is particularly interested in this subject. The fact that it starts talking about what is IMO the most overrated scene ever, Berlin, says a lot.

I don't think this was used much outside of meta anyway.

Exactly! And I would expect hacker news of all places to understand that.

Also when you wear multiple hats. Recently I had to setup an OpenResty including writing some fairly complex Lua scripts, both which I had never touched before, and it was much faster with the help of an llm.

I 100% clicked the link expecting an article about how the open source PBX software Asterisk was being used in some nefarious way.

I remember it also had native SIP support and you could configure an account to connect automatically only when the phone connected to a certain wifi network. So I had my work extension on when I connected to the work wifi. It was really ni

63 is such an oddly specific number too.

Sure! Why not outlaw adultery then ? Let's even stone them to death!

One thing I noticed recently and was able to reproduce a bunch of times is asking dall-e the exact same prompt where the only difference is the subject being described as a male or female and it refuses to generate the female one. I don&#x2

We most certainly do get to choose if we want to. Why not ?

"AI safety" is just a rehashed version of "think of the children".

Honest question as I have no horse on this race (pun intended) and you picqued my curiosity. How the hell can the pre existence of horses be politicized?

I just searched for "ai hallucination" on arxiv and got 43 hits. And terms get reused in new contexts all the time. I don't disagree confabulating would be a more correct term, though.

Why change something that is already a well defined term in the context of generative AIs ?

Things have changed a LOT . The vast majority of Google users never even see the home page since it's integrated into the address bar of all mainstream browsers. So I guess they might as well use it for something other than pure search

Why not just write "porn" ? Is there some sort of filter here on hn I'm not aware of ?

Can you expand on why do you think langchain is so useless ? I'm quite happy using it for development.
