What an excellent video.

Depsite visiting Hackernews multiple times a day, I am not a tech person. Seeing people creating such thing in a way I can undestand (which is maybe...10-15 % of the posts here ?) is so refreshing !

The editing is sharp, the setup looks so cool and the channel !

Thank you for making this !

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and OpenAI with closed data.

No, you are given someone else vision of anything you want. If you are being 100 % honest with yourself, the output of a prompt would never be exactly what you imagined. This is where YOUR creativity dies. Yes, you create, but you create through the filter of someone else. If this ceiling of creativity is enough for you, good. You will never break through it anyway, by design.

A nice metaphor, really. I always compared it to food but clothing works more in that case, it seems.

How does it work then ? Explain us how the US, China, and India don't abuse of surveillance on whoever they can, please.

Good lord, at this point just drone off in front of a Netflix show. How bad has it gotten that you even suggest that one can "forget what happened chapters earlier" ? This is not normal.

"Amazon DID NOT answer PubLunch’s questions about “what rights the company was relying upon to execute the new feature was not answered, nor did they elaborate on the technical details of the service and any protections involved (whether to prevent against hallucinations, or to protect the text from AI training).”

So...Are all Amazon books available on Kindle ? So...All books are content for the LLM behind it, I suppose ?

Welp. Seems perfect for a poison data effort !

I'll do you one better in your prediction : there will be a global decentralized 24/7 multi assets marketplace built on something like Hedera in the next 10 years.

New comment by Mouvelie in "Why aren't smart people happier?"

Mouvelie — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 20:58:01 +0000

Are smart people even fulfilled ? How many smart people work on industries they can't wait to quit ? On problems they don't even care ?

I feel like everyone within 2-standard division of the IQ mean is still susceptible to the never-ending that being rich and having money is all that matters instead of, I don't know, supporting life on the only habitable planet we know.

Many thanks for that suggestion. I did not know the blog/article, and really, it was the most interesting hour of rabbithole I found in a while.

A curious thing happened with the link of the article :

Clicking on it brought me to a 404. I found afterwards that the "correct" article does not mention "darting" but "flickering", even in the url. Why are some people mentionning "darting" when it appears nowhere in the text except on HN ? Am I having a mandela effect ? /S

What you wrote resonated with me, I think the same way and so, allow me the pushback. :) Does it have to be that way, a severance type of scenario where the work life is opposite of the "life" life ? I feel that it should, perhaps could, be different. Yeah, it depends on what you do for a living, your need for money and so on, but do people that win at career always lose at life ?

> In a world where one could snap their fingers and magically have everything, would "growth" be impossible?

Think this one through. Would growth even make sense ? What would be the meaning of getting everything you want ? Would such a life be worth it ?

If you ask me, I'd say that such a life would have no meaning for anyone involved and as such, maybe the universe would not even care to have that experience. I don't know, just spitballing there !

I always say that time is the best filter.

In the moment, you can be easily mistaken that something is good, or the best even if the marketing team of that something is really going hard at your wallet. But the only way, and they know it too well, to assess quality is to simply...wait and see later.

If you need a proof, here's one : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookshop_Memories The "it was better before" is not a recent phenomenon, I think.
