seems to happen daily when USA wakes up and Europe is at peak working capacity, I don't think it's a coincidence

there's nothing stopping them from saying that, which is my point which you missed

big fan of A/B tests that dehumanize the consumer into some kind of money making lab rat funnel whose only purpose is to be experimented on how you can extract more money out of it

i wouldn't have such an issue with it if didn't completely homogenize every text it spits out. i want to read something that at least resembles the words in the author's mind, not the output of an instruction to describe something.

i should take a break from the internet, the past couple of weeks feel like being stuck in an asylum where everything is written by the same one author, using the same words, same tropes, same idioms. i'm slowly going insane.

i use an extension called OhMyECH to show whether a website used ECH, and it is currently very rare that i encounter one that does.

at least none of the major websites on the internet do.

i couldn't finish "Don't Look Up", it felt like sitting through a political lecture. all i wanted from a comedy was some laughs.

nowhere near comparable experience if you want to seamlessly use your YT account across a TV + phone + computer

i'd rather pay the $10 than pay with my time by being an ad-block whack-a-mole diagnostician

i don't care if someone has bad grammar, i want to hear their thoughts as they came up with them, we're all intelligent beings and can parse the meaning behind what you write.

i type my comments without capitalization like i'm typing into some terminal because i'm lazy and people might hate it but i'm sure they prefer this to if i asked an LLM to rewrite what i type

your writing style is your personality, don't let a robot take it away from you

i'm kinda jaded because it seems the type of people that get into politics do it to gain money and power.. so voting always feels like picking the lesser of two evils

overblown? billions of users use consumer tier hardware just fine. i have servers at home with years of uptime without any ECC memory

the whole concept of a "clean room" implementation sounds completely absurd.

a bunch of people get together, rewrite something while making a pinky promise not to look at the original source code

guaranteeing the premise is basically impossible, it sounds like some legal jester dance done to entertain the already absurd existing copyright laws

naming something tech related without referencing crabs or lobsters challenge [impossible difficulty]

the plurality of this website are californians so this whole discourse is about as predictable as can be

lol. yeah there is but instead of "farther from the population centers" it is "farther from YOUR population centers"

it's funny because you'd think these trillion parameter models trained on the entirety of humanity's written works would be amazing at writing, but instead all the models just converge to the same tired overly-enthusiastic phrases

at my job we have some 7+ year old nextjs apps that don't receive new features but still do their jobs perfectly fine, and they keep changing random shit around for no reason, we've had to waste time on multiple refactors already for major nextjs version bumps once the older ones are no longer supported

yeah the thing is, if someone can social engineer you on the phone and make you do their bidding, you've lost no matter what

an obvious tell from another tech influencer and Hn will eat it up
