Especially as root...

It was just a couple of months ago where I found myself complaining that we shouldn't have to pay exorbitant amounts of money for friendship.

Last time I went to a bar a pretty woman and her friends decided to sit next to me only after I closed my tab and was getting an Uber to go back home. She seemed super nervous just sitting next to me and I assumed that if I butted into their conversation I'd get ignored like last time.

While J.B. Crawford's computer.rip is a newsletter and not a blog, I'd say he's popular enough to be on the list.

With a name like Snitch, it should be aimed at adversarial detection.

Just my two snitches.

It's a good idea for it to work both ways in case doxxing happens. I'm against KYC by any business from a security perspective: my PII shouldn't be available to criminals.

Remember we have about 20 years of poorly written articles along with a few well written ones for the LLM to be trained on. I'm confident that attempting to tell LLM from human writing is a waste of time now that the year is almost over.

Other than that I'd rather choose a comprehensive article than a summary.

That's the same algorithm Youtube has and is more blatant. Phone mics and your coworker's proximity does a great job at picking up things you've said even after disabling mic access plus airplane mode just by process of elimination.

I'll only use an LLM for projects and building tools, like a junior dev in their 20s.

Thank you for speaking to reality of situations that the majority of internet commenters never talk about. I think dang needs to put the HN member lock back on.

There has been a change in behavior in the past few years, in fact it used to be that you could only become a HN member that can comment thus vote by posting a select number of threads before being able to comment. This actually kept the community on the more intelligent, factual, and serious side. Now it's not so serious.

This used to be the only place that I could visit to get away from Reddit behavior. It seems like the more obscure a social gathering is, the less Eternal September it suffers.

If we succumbed to everyone's complaints we'd have a much more dumbed down version of everything. Consider if you had a concussion on the right temporal lobe and had hypergraphia as a symptom of the resultant temporal lobe epilepsy. I'd write everything I'd want to write regardless of who complains. Philip K. Dick was one such person.

You should be arsed to dig it up because your parent comment is insinuating disbelief or sarcasm with quotation marks.

Weird response here. Everyone expects at least some level of marketing for their software product to perform financially.
