"Here's the part that nobody talks about"

"Two gotchas before you click buy"

I really think there could be a score for entropy in playfulness that should differentiate LLM output

As always, I _wish_ I had a use case for an iPad. Seem like such powerful machines hindered by where they live in the serious-computing space. The iPadOS being much more restrictive doesn't help either.

I wish they could repurpose macOS to touch screens... Oh well.

Naive take but I feel the only way to combat this problem is with AI. Any manual queuing, or separate threads could be overrun all the same. The only difference being there is a dam of sorts before we let some of the projects out.

Any manual efforts to combat AI won't scale as models get better and better. Show HN is a place to show-case cool projects, I don't see why a 100% AI generated project can't be shown. AI has allowed many to rob themselves of their retirement projects and the uptick reflects that. My hunch is once we settle into the new shift, we can perhaps tweak the parameters around decay of Show HN posts.

Or we could allow upstanding members to signal-boost Show HN posts. Something along the lines of "Hey guys I _really_ want you to see this post so here is it (again)".

I was lagging behind in AI until a colleague shared your guide about Context Management in LLMs. Thank you for that!

This sounds great, do you think something like this could be ported over to other countries' laws?

Where I'm from, citizens _need_ more awareness of their rights today and in the future.

TIL about shading, and am surprised how less I've seen this term in grading tutorials. While different, I feel like shading is something that should be learnt before grading.

PS You might have pasted two different answer drafts above. Paras 1,4 and 2,5 deliver similar information

They don't do that anymore, at least not for me. I tried contacting two different support agents and both mentioned that the functionality has been removed for them by the higher-ups.
