Do you find reading hard? I'm asking for examples. Why isn't anyone showing this off in blog posts. Or a youtube video or something. It's always this vague, it's faster, just trust me bro bullshit and I'm sick of it. Show me or don't reply.

Why is it so hard to find examples?

I think if you designed and built it with the idea in mind that you're building your renewables in the sunny/windy centre/south of the US to be transported to a these places all year round it's a better idea than it being a backup. But I agree that the cost of over generation should be factored in to comparison pricing. But I also think we don't include enough of the costs in FF infra either.

I was attempting a sarcastic jab at the whole "this is the worst AI will ever be". Yet tech (or anything really) will often hit a wall, and be about as good as it's ever going to get.

How many people actual think like this or are influenced by it? (I'm going to be disappointed aren't I)

Couldn't this also be solved with transmission from other parts of the country? or is that what you're saying?

This is the worst quantum computing will ever be.

I have devs that do this and we have CI AI code review. Problem is, it always finds something. So the devs that have been in the code base for a while know what to ignore, the new devs get bogged down by research. It's a net benefit as it forces them to learn, which they should be doing. It def slows them down though which goes against some of what I see about the productivity boost claims. A human reviewer with the codebase experience is still needed.

I thought the same. I'm still 90% of the same mindset. But it does worry me how much people like slop. But is it because it's novel? and will people get tired of it?

I didn't look at the product. But $240/year is nothing for an org. Plus not only just the time to make it. What about the time fixing bugs? hosting costs? backups? I'm sure there will be products that can be replaced (possibly this one), but I'm not convinced the death of SaaS is here yet.

I was looking for this comment (I was going to say the same) - I'm mostly on the backend services and infra side, and I have the option to host a lot of open-source tooling as opposed to paying for a service. I have to weigh up my options when deciding what to do, but a lot comes down to how much time I have and how much I'm willing to waste in time & hosting costs to keep the thing running. Also, do I need support, and ensure uptime and SLAs etc. Or what if I'm on holidays. I'm sure there are other things I'm not thinking of right now.

I don't think you can guarantee it will get better. I'm sure it will improve from here but by how much? Have the exponential gains topped out? Maybe it's a slow slog over many years that isn't that disruptive. Has there been any technology that hasn't hit some kind of wall?

Do you have any examples or are your project oss or anything like that? Because I want to believe, but I have people I work with that say and try the same thing (no manual coding), and their work is now terrible.

I've used plugins like unhook in the past which do exactly this and it's nice. Now I just follow channels via rss and block everything else on the page. Same deal.

The main target of these bans algorithmic content curation and the addictive nature of such algorithms and the possible harmful content that could be presented. So no?

Let's be real. Unless you're putting in the effort, the government already knows. Especially so on the sites listed in this ban.

It's not banned for under 16s, they just can't sign up.

What % of HN is bots/AI do we think? This is the only site I use that has any social part to it, and I'm beginning to think that many of the comments aren't real. I don't know if it's in my head - but it all feels off to me. Either that or it's just a different crowd from years ago.

OpenAI will just get their AI to make it happen.
