It's Claude with a "slang+profanity" filter lol. The cadence is so tired and grating.

It's demonstrably not. This summary, somehow, often fails to search, or fails to read what it searches and gives you the opposite answer. You shouldn't trust it.

Your comment seems to imply there's a good guy in a this. I just see the inevitable end of an era, championed by predictably selfish actors.

From a content point of view, this could've been a tweet (or a toot).

Talking to developers about humanities often highlights how smart we're not.

hahah what a weird take! You don't have any biological imperatives for sex, and dare I say affection? Must be quite the peaceful life indeed!

The number of ridiculous claims in this thread...

First off, all Canadian provinces are different. Here in Quebec, there is a absolutely a private option. Not everyone likes that it exists, but most people seem to like having that option.

Canadians live better for longer on average (for cheaper healthcare overall). Any other metric is just a misguided attempt to justify the US status quo, which has nothing going for it unless you're rich.

Not my experience at all. Ever since Google neutered ABP with this move, it feels like everyone else just gave up the arms race. Which makes sense give how little market share FF now has.

Reads like AI writing again. Can you just post the prompt?

As someone who used to meditate, I don't think you did it wrong. There are many right ways to do it, depending on what you seek.

Maybe it's not what you needed at the moment, especially if you're not an anxious person. But these days most people are anxious or stressed out, and the barest amount of meditation can help tremendously. Or it might do nothing, everyone is different.

You've seen Sam Altman's interviews, yet you still think him a competent man? I think he's rather the embodiment of the death of meritocracy as an idea.

Surely this is automated. They wouldn't waste precious dollars on employing humans just to keep other humans happy.

They learn if they have to, like we always did. In-person exams (proctored) are good for testing that.

How are people still deluded enough about this economic system to believe rank implies competence?

It also used to be that reddit comments were the epitome of quality in their time, much closer to current HN if not better. I attributed that to the voting mechanism; clearly I was mistaken.

Other commenters laughing at you for the price... It's not about the price it's about the barrier. Even if I love a service, I won't get very many people to try it if they need to enter a credit card.

I seem to remember that's one of the first things they tried, but the general models tended to win out. Turns out there's more to learn from all code/discussions than from just JS.
