annagio_ — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 13:59:23 +0000

Nope, because the AI does not have the mind of the Author, simply as that. AI can't think the way the author will think and answer, won't make jokes like the author does.

Let's take for example an interview in a public library, where people are around, questions start, and the author with his personality answers with tone and some times thinking, but some other times says funny things. AI won't do this, it's going to answer straight forward the questions. Despite that, where is the fun of waiting to see your favorite author if possible?

I will agree with you! Just release it for all. Also now they have to make 2 devices, which it should probably be more hassle.

Forums still exist in a small scale. Leaving reddit 3 years ago, I went down the road looking for forums, which I eventually found and today there is still some movement going on. The one I visit are forums like coffee making, satellite tv and so on.

Toronto has amazing archive from back then! Regarding the aerials, the first photos describes what elderly people used to tell me "Toronto back then was just plain fields". Same goes for other big cities probably. Thanks!

lets see who is going to win, AI or Artists? I'm going to stick with real artists, even if some of them use ghost producers.

I said "Companies", meaning many companies not just Apple. They worked all together somehow to achieve the shortage and the raise the price.

Ohhh look, the companies that started the problem have to raise the price! sure yes, I will not buy any product, untill price goes down. And others should do, but each on their own. Price hikes on my food, home and now tech. I have a pocket and a voice, and I will stop buying any product.

Yes, it will be sadly, and maybe the last beach to be clean(IMO).

Those beaches, those villages, used to be pure nature, but as the time passed, they saw the potential of making money, and started building and drilling. Spring and Summer is all the fuss, after that it's empty, dead, only locals live in villages.

Unfortunately, they will become ghost villages as people living there are very old.

Half of Albania is butchered like this, beaches and green being destroyed to make resorts for the tourists to come. Go see Dermi or Vuno and then go see Borsh how clean it is, with no excavations at all or resorts being build.

New comment by annagio_ in "Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?"

annagio_ — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:51:51 +0000

When you bride and lobby with people of your interests in a broken political system, what you expect to happen? Monopoly. Worst part, people keep buy tickets from Ticketmaster, pay crazy amounts of money to see Taylor Swift, and it never ends! If people had a voice, if people stopped buying tickets from Ticketmaster, now we would have a different outcome.

In Toronto for example, many events I went to used eventbrite. There was also ticketweb, part of Ticketmaster, which I tried to avoid as much as possible.
