I know he watched the Social Network before he did this :)

New comment by anonymouscaller in "AI Error May Have Contributed to Girl's School Bombing in Iran"

anonymouscaller — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 07:18:11 +0000

Funny how Anthropic's press team has been working overtime to ensure the public they're the AI on the right side of history, yet that's anything further than the truth...

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Discuss: AI Slop Bores Me"

Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I was trying to answer some questions/prompts, and the same one keeps coming up over and over again.

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Anthropic, please make a new Slack"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:57:51 +0000

Slack is in no way a great program (source: use it daily for work), but it seems to me that it works as intended, and developers can already extend it with bots/AI agents. Plus, Claude as an agent is already installable to Slack.

For compliance, my company already has a tool that scrapes all slack messages, and archives them for a required amount of years. I'm at a small company, so I assume large corporations have already refined this process.

What problem does this solve?

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Easy AI job resume builder"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:47:22 +0000

Why should I pay for a AI wrapper to build my resume? What's the advantage of this tool versus running it through Claude/GPT/Gemini etc.?

New comment by anonymouscaller in "European Rail in Numbers (2025)"

anonymouscaller — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 02:43:48 +0000

I'm an American. I know people my age want rail (18-24). I know lawmakers fund big infrastructure packages. So where's the disconnect on this side of the pond?

Here is Felleisen's (who I should note is retiring) views on teaching programming at NEU, which is worth a read:

New comment by anonymouscaller in "The paper passport's days are numbered"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 14:39:14 +0000

New technology in the airport is incredibly scary. I recently flew between the United States and Canada and it is mind boggling how trivial passports are already becoming. I began by looking into a camera on a kiosk, where as soon as my face was recognized, I walked up to the CBP officer and he verified my identify with a quick look at my passport and ticket. I don't see the passport lasting much longer, at last in the US, Canada, and Europe.

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Decline in teen drug use continues, surprising experts"

anonymouscaller — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:14:59 +0000

I’m guessing it’s linked to declining social interaction among teenagers, which also explains the decline in alcohol consumption too.

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Phishers Love New TLDs Like .shop, .top and .xyz"

anonymouscaller — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 16:06:30 +0000

As much as some gTLDs are known for spam, it's dangerous to generalize certain domains as spam. I used to run a website with a somewhat niche gTLD and it was a headache getting blocked by spam filters who just blocked *.mygTLD

New comment by anonymouscaller in "The job more parents are taking to get a discount on their kids' college tuition"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 13:42:43 +0000

What a money making scheme college has become. This article would be laughable if it wasn't reality.

New comment by anonymouscaller in "London Overground's New Look"

anonymouscaller — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 16:52:54 +0000

Neat! Glad they are differentiating between all of the Overground lines, but it's getting to the point that the colors are all mixing together and the tube map is starting to look even more headache inducing...

What is the difference between "waste renewable" and "waste non-renewable"?

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Ask HN: What browser are you using?"

anonymouscaller — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 23:42:09 +0000

Primarily Firefox, but once in a while a website will require Chrome, and for that I use Brave. Brave is better than standard Chrome, but like you said, the crypto garbage and useless features are frustrating.

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Beeper Mini Continued Outages: 'Apple Is Penalizing Their Own Customers'"

anonymouscaller — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 23:32:44 +0000

Like others have said on threads about Beeper, it is a great app, but will just be a cat and mouse game for eternity, until it gets shutdown or a lawsuit is filed by one side. I don't expect this to be the last outage.

I loved reading “The Things They Carried” many years ago in school, definitely a great read.
