Feels like an overgeneralization. I have a perfectly slow Ride1Up Roadster V3. It's a PA bike with a throttle, but it's not a hot rod. Max speed with my weight is around 20MPH. I use the throttle to just get moving on inclines or at stops when I forgot to downshift.

That said, there are plenty of idiots around on bikes and cars.

>simple solution of simply ignoring

If you mean ignoring manually, that's not sustainable.

On the desktop side, I skim through HN through a self-hosted install of NewsBlur RSS, all my RSS feeds live there, including HN, Reddit, etc., that has a nice training/filtering facility [0]. NewsBlur has accompanying apps that can be pointed at your own install. If you don't want to bother with that, you can pay for it. I run it on cheap OVH instance.

On mobile, I use the Hack app [1]. The iOS version works on the Mac as well.

It is when you get to the security is where you meet the UpsideDown. Condescending, most all of them, ime.

In the meantime, I use the Metas on dog walks, take fast pics of wild life, while biking, things like that, AirPods annoy me even if I own a few pairs. I don't even like the Metas, they are too heavy on the face, they are far from attractive, but they are the only thing of its kind I can buy in the states with my vision insurance (hello, Luxotica and LensCrafters). So please, don't come at me when you see me outside, I'm simply walking my dog.

I suppose that can be said about everywhere, but it wasn't a desolate rusty bullet ridden hellscape, the cities were beautiful and so were the beaches, at least as captured in my memory.

My family had friends from Poland and Hungary and we always envied them, the green kind. So, I always assumed at that age things were nicer beyond the borders, but they weren't so bad locally either. Of course, in the end, it was a house of cards, but the life itself wasn't NK level.

Aren't the LLMs trained on a massive corpus of human written texts? If that stands, then they are doing what they were asked, kind of? I am also not a fan of the fluff words that Claude pollutes the context with, it's a bit much, I could live 30% less but it doesn't want to read its instructions in the .md

If the author wanted, they could ask their "AI" to write the article as a caveman, no? I, simply for fun, slop coded up a skill so that I can ask Claude to reply as Samual L. Jackson, or Kramer, etc.

I also wonder if there is an "AI language barrier", likely not in this particular article, but let's say there was a published article by a researcher whose native language isn't English. What happens with the translation? I realize I am asking naive things :)

Pound for pound I prefer an EV for as a daily driver (have a Hyundai Ioniq 5). Instant torque, no maintenance to speak of besides tires and windshield fluid. They are not exciting, there is no delicious noise drama. But in the US, the EVs and hybrids/PHEVs have always been, and now more so, more expensive than their ICE counterparts. Good for Denmark, hopefully that spreads here with the next admin.

One immediate downside of EVs that I often see cited in the states, is that even small accident can result in a total insurance write off of the vehicle, much more often or severe than with ICE cars. Which is kind of strange, because new ICE cars pack as much tech.

I've pledged my $3/5 a few dozen of times over the years, the banners guilted me into it, have you? I am amused by the idea that the thing grew enough to have enough employees to have a union and dysfunctional enough to have an internal dispute. It should be a national treasure on my tax return, or something I don't need to think about, like oxygen.

insane way to measure an organization

What organization and who cares? There are dozens of you?
