Tangentially related, I wish more websites and blogs looked like this now. It's elegant and modern but simple.

Jamie Zawinski is a perfect example of intellectual intelligence unfortunately not translating to emotional intelligence.

If only I had the immense courage to warble nonsense in front of a projector displaying clips of pop culture for 20 minutes. Thank god we have such future laureates to do so for us.

The same type of eccentric foreign citizens you're likely to find here.

Do you have a blog or website with similar anecdotes of life? I found this very interesting.

I've managed to get it directly regurgitate an image from training data, which means any number of these images could be real too.

While I'm strongly against AI regulation, I'd argue this is significantly more interesting than people who pretend AI is sentient, especially when the prompts used just say the vague phrase "apologies for the content".

I had just settled on using Continue in VSCode to migrate from Copilot Chat not 30 minutes ago, then I visit the site again and this has happened. Cache follies.

I noticed too; I managed to ignore it at first but it eventually became so grating I stopped reading shortly before I reached the end of the article.

I'm not exactly sure of the reason for the overuse but the sheer amount of times it is used feels artificial. Not "artificial" in an "artificial intelligence" sense but perhaps a corporate, "inclusive" thing[1] that may have rubbed off on the author during his time at Mozilla, or a political convention (which is possible considering the large "Fump Truck" text on his Mastodon page).

Windows Aero did work, or at least the Windows 7 incarnation of it.

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

I come to Hacker News to avoid this. You have practically every other website on the internet to discuss politics, why here?

I wonder if this will create a market for freer forums for Koreans that are hosted in other countries?

Using OpenRouter, going to migrate to DeepSeek's official API soon. I'm not using it for anything commercial or for private data so I have no privacy qualms.

Almost exactly the same story here. I've also had little to no refusals from DeepSeek, with it's Chinese values meaning substantially less friction when it comes to things like reverse engineering, finding copyrighted files, working with dubiously-sourced source code, et cetera. I don't think I'd go back to Copilot even if they dropped prices by 90%.

What's with the lack of Microsoft design language on the website? It's painfully obvious they're trying to emulate Anthropic's style here and it looks tacky.
