HN comment quality took a nosedive recently, You can predict the comments just based on the story, almost all of them cynical and snarky remarks. It used to be a place to come and learn from technical experts.

Yes there are incentives to buy EVs but they are still much more expensive than ICE vehicles (I'm in the market for a new car so that is an observation from my experience)

It's going to be just like social media. A flood of content from the talentless masses exposing us to their lazy and shallow ideas they just cannot keep to themselves. Once in a while a diamond in the rough will be found, but at what cost?

New comment by krelian in "LG to ban residential proxies from smart TV apps"

I recently had to replace my 5 year old LG OLED with a new one. The UX has been downgraded to an abysmal level. It's just unfathomable how such simple UI widgets take multiple seconds to load and how can QA say "ok, that's good enough". And don't get me started about the shoehorned "AI". A feature that, if you forget to turn it off will randomly interrupt whatever you're watching to talk to you in an almost unintelligible metallic voice. The build quality of the remote control also took a nose dive. Image quality is great but the same as my old TV, no advancements there.

How long has it been since we last saw a "LLMs can't really think/be useful/be better than a human expert" discussion on HN? There used to be so many!

What do you expect them to do instead?

What are some terms that would have benefitted from elucidations? Also can you give an example were the tone felt arrogant?

There is a joke just about that in Back to the Future (1985)!

I love these sort of projects. Well done!

New comment by krelian in "Ben Lerner's Big Feelings"

This is part of a certain type of journalism. You're free to dislike it but it's doing something very specific that most readers of this type of journalism and literature in general do enjoy. You may be coming to this with the (not unusual for the HN crowd) overly stemmy attitude that scans for nuggets of relevant data (and only relevant data!) that can be processed in the most efficient way possible. This is not it, and if it was forced to be we would lose something precious.

It will take years before the effect will be felt but I do believe since watching football has become so expensive younger generations are going to watch less of it.

A consensus has formed in front of your eyes. The same development that resulted in you using the word "kill" in your earlier comment to refer to a computer process. For some reason you refuse to accept it.

Have you thought about why they developed a need for intellectual validation?

Have you actually used it successfully for these purposes?

Can you give some example for what you use it for? I understand giving a summary of what's waiting in your inbox but what else?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but, being contained and only having access to specific credentials is all nice and well but there is still an agent that orchestrates between the containers that has access to everything with one level of indirection.

In my limited experience I found 5.3-Codex to be extremely dry, terse and to the point. I like it.

Maybe this will change one day but at the current moment this is an immediate turnoff. It's like someone trying to show you their project day 1 and it's a page filled with ads and a newsletter popup. You may have good reasons to do that but it doesn't instill a sense of trust and quality.
