Pinky-promises, embarrassing. I'd point to tinfoil.sh. I'm not a shill for tinfoil, I haven't even used it or looked past its homepage really, but if we are able to legitimately secure privacy, then training data questions ar

Even if Zitron is hopelessly wrong and a complete fool, he's an engaging writer. Like the original article itself states, it's not about the numbers, it's about catharsis. The transparent absence of AI tells in his articles i

Yeah. Maybe to add to that: I like my current job, and I consider myself a steward of the codebases that I'm a stakeholder in (I want it to be good). There's little space for stewardship when LLMs induce psychosis and learned-care

I generally agree that software has been getting worse, and AI isn't the cause, necessarily, but certainly is accelerating the decay. Maybe a corollary to the growth of programmers is that pride/artisanship in the work decreases.

I'd be interested in seeing your prompts, out of curiosity. Either way I had a good laugh when I realized it wasn't going to end and getting the coins/tokens was pointless.

For a period of time, I was graphing HN AI sentiment on BULL/BEAR LOVE/HATE axes. https://r5d.me/vibeschism/ The mania and lament continues at full speed, I suppose. And related to the brazen contempt for con

Not all prompts require the same compute, and Gemma-4B runs on our phones with parity output for ordinary 1-5 sentence queries. The common use case of Google-style queries is already solved locally, saying we're miles off is ridiculous

Yeah this is context poisoning, not model poisoning, which is way, way more effective. Google and Reddit have contracts: Google has official scraping access to Reddit (probably more than that at this point since the contracts were signed 1-

If you're implying that it's a violation of the original hacker ethos, I disagree. "Information wants to be free" is a small part of the hacker ethos venn diagram. There are many hacker ethos traits that aren't abou

As far as I'm aware, "source of truth" refers to data/code that drives the actual app, so Figma could never be a source of truth (Figma is a reference of what the app data/code is supposed to do). Saying Figma is a

Pretty cool to see stacks being given due attention. Also check out git-spice, which works with Gitlab (possibly others). Personally I use git-spice in place of all the conventional git commands.

I got to the second section before I decided to scan how long it was, saw a wall of text, and decided that this article was low taste. Moreover, the submitter of this article (probably not the author) spams ~4 submissions per day.

I'm not sure I believe them though, at face value anyway. Or at least, I would suspect the entire spectrum of levels 0-9 are constantly at play at Anthropic (or any sizeable company). Fully disavowing the code as a matter of policy see

I know that it's discourteous to write-off a potentially valuable project because the release post showed a lack of self-awareness, but I think it's indicative of the larger struggle taking place: that trust is decaying. It's

This is good info, thanks. Can I ask how you detected that version of axios? I checked the source (from another comment) and the package.json dependencies are empty....

I couldn't tell from the title whether is was client or the server code (although map file and NPM were hints). Looks like the client code, which is not as exciting.

Yeah, additionally gemini.google.com is also free unauthenticated, which I've been using for a very long time (a year?). Why this is being treated as news is confusing.

For sure, source is now available here https://hn-trustspark.com/src/ I can figure out how to shasum/sig the extension for heightened trust.

No problem at all! I didn't mean to be accusatory. And I wouldn't say inspecting the plugin code is against my wishes at all, no, definitely keep that hacker spirit alive! And feel free to reload the gist. I suppose that my point

Darn, I really thought submission rates were the lowest hanging fruit for bot detection, and it doesn't appear this is the case. Thanks for commenting so I could see this. For what it's worth, penalizing submission rates is not th

Thanks! Nice, you found the alltrust.json file ha. Yes, a bg job running on an rpi leverages HN APIs and builds the alltrust file by the minute, for all "active" accounts. Technically fetching that data is all you'd need to m
