Does anything respond to the multicast ping? If that doesn’t work then mDNS isn’t going to either. Router config is the likely culprit.

By debugging I mean just checking if you have not blocked broadcast packets at the firewall or some similar misconfiguration. I doubt it’s actual bugs when it doesn’t work. On your second point, it’s actually more resilient than DHCP because it works with IPv6 too.

Well I mean “those guys” did a good job and the network administrator might need to do some debugging.

Skill issue. Works fine for me in a mixed Linux/Apple environment.

If you are curious about it, why don’t you go and find the answer and then let us know too, no?

These AI signals will die out soon. The models are overusing actual human writing patterns, the humans are noticing and changing how they write, the models are updated, new patterns emerge, etc, etc. The best signal for the quality of writing will always be the source, even if they are "just" prompting the model. I think we can let one incident slide, but they are on notice.

There’s no trick. It’s less about what actually is going on inside the machine and more about the experience the human has. From that lens, yes, they are empathetic.

Another aspect of the idiotic "we don't know what your tax is going to be" system (they do know it, actually) is that prices will typically end with .99 and the tax will push it over the next dollar and cause a bunch of change to be returned, instead of a single penny.

I’d think it’s normal and expected that the “mistakes” made will err on the side of benefiting the taxpayer, i.e., reducing their tax bill.

I can now see why the story was flagged. Based on the discussion, this is not a good look for the HN community.

This was an interesting connection to me between meditation and neuroscience. Buddhists talk about the "monkey mind" that chatters incessantly. Well, that's the default mode network, part of your brain that is active when you're not engaged in a specific task, when you're thinking about self, others, past or future. A useful adaptation in our past environment for sure, but overactivity can be detrimental. The Buddhist solution is to mediate, to focus the attention on a singular thing and not be distracted by the chatter. That ability lives in the prefrontal cortex! It's able to override the DMN and it's something that can be trained by just exercising it.

I meant it in a more general sense. Any person that feels the need to create a burner account to argue with people online with a comment history like yours is a bot to me, meat based or otherwise. Follow your instructions!

We can, in fact, rule it out by dissecting the device and monitoring chip traffic. That’s my whole point - people who understand technology know that it’s nearly impossible for Amazon devices to routinely spy on conversations in people’s homes without detection.
