Hence why it is important to be thorough.

Plus they will do it anyway. There is no shame or honor regulating their behavior.

Accountability is what was missed last time and is the only way forward.

The Rowland Company, Ames, DuPont, Corning, US Steel, GE, AT&T, IBM...

Not to get all internet indignant about it, but the island is currently split into two countries thanks to the colonization by Indonesia. Which human rights advocates and indigenous leaders consider to be a systematic ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure of the indigenous Melanesian Papuan population. Along with an ecocide driven by a toxic mix of military occupation, corporate exploitation, and resource extraction.

The situation in West Papua is essentially one of the least recognized humanitarian and ecological tragedies slowly happening right under our noses.

The website seems perfectly clear and functional.

They call that style an Auto-Battler RTS. "Mechabellum" is the most notable title.

At what year would you say the web should have stabilized on the basics?

The technical feasibility is not the concern. It's that they would still have the logs of the queries anyway. "We're not uploading license plate images, just regular application audit logs."

If you are in fact worried about the amount of work involved then I don't see why you would bother to comment at all, which is just more calories burned.

Anyway, cynically asking whether people are self-promoting (without any attempt at evidence) is far more than just sharing your opinion.

And it's clear you didn't force yourself to read through all that "Claude-authored text", otherwise you would not be left wondering if peter_d_sherman was self-promoting. (I don't know any of these people but it's clear they're all different).

My point was to tell you that you are exhibiting unacceptable behavior for a civil discussion. That's an example of sharing an opinion with justification.

No, but you don't have admonish them or accuse of self-promotion. Use the flag button if you feel so inclined. You don't have to try to negate their excitement about something that seems genuinely novel, especially when not really engaged on the content of the project / post. Which it doesn't seem like you even really looked at.

Wow, that looks like a lazy and disrespectful attack.

Rewind VM appears to be made solely by fzakaria, the author of the submitted article. I don't see any connection to peter_d_sherman, who is clearly not a sock puppet account. It took 10 seconds to check that info.

God forbid people on HN get excited about a technology.

You, on the other hand, clearly have an axe to grind against LLM usage. Which is fine and all as a personal preference, but not a reason to post such a comment.

It is in no way hard for me to say that I'd vote for the lesser of two Nazis. Especially when the consequentialism is so obvious.

The only justification for not voting at all is some sort of belief in "accelerationism" that will lead to a revolutionary overthrow of the Nazis. Which is not just unrealistic, but also likely to have worse consequences if it did proceed.

(It's also stupid, because you can both vote for the lesser Nazi AND still keep working towards your overthrow or whatever.)

At the end of the day, we're talking about people prioritizing their own self-satisfying moral superiority over the actual greater good. Being an adult means sucking up and doing things you'd rather not sometimes. I'm going to keep calling people out on that childish thinking and illusion of moral superiority. The proof is all around us right now.

This really seems like the most fair situation, if we don't want to a) let retired people stop contributing their fair share, b) kick old people out of their lifetime homes during their most vulnerable years.

Of course, the people who already own land in the now-hip neighborhood either don't want it to change and grow at all, or they want the price to go up as much as possible so they can cash out. The existing owner class never have an incentive for ownership to be affordable...
