I still use "RedReader" on mobile, this works. If that client would be gone, I'd also say goodbye to Reddit.

Gosh, It's so hard to be excited about any software project nowadays, because I cannot know how much effort was actually put into it. For all I know the author merely wrote a few prompts and paid Anthropic for the tokens. Good job I guess?

This is just prompting an LLM and just dumping it on the site (which is clearly what is happening here, all the articles show the same signs of AI output, no human writing, no style, as far as I can tell).

If this is the level of care that goes into news articles, then we're doomed. What will ultimately happen is that AI summarizes AI articles, which got summarized from another AI article, which got summarized from another AI article, .. and after enough rewriting all facts will be gone from articles. I don't care to read this slop, and I'm shocked people are so readily accepting this new state of affairs.

That bugged me too, so I started looking at other articles - they all look AI generated to me. Whole website should be banned.

Normally I would agree, but I've seen this happen too often. Common sense be damned, just make the number look good.

My experience is exactly the opposite (company with more than 10k employees). Getting anything done in Azure takes me 10x as long, as all of Azure is managed by one team, and everything requires approvals, lots of bureaucracy. Also, as it turns out, it is extremely expensive. Per our guidelines everything needs to be isolated within company intranet (unless really required to be external), which often means we need premium tier services in Azure. These are really, really pricey sometimes.

On the other hand, if I request a virtual server, it takes less than a week, and I can work with it much more freely.

It's just as possible that they need to invest more and more for negligible improvements to model performance. These companies are burning through money at an astonishing rate.

And as the internet deteriorates due to AI slop, finding good training material will become increasingly difficult. It's already happening that incorrect AI generated information is being cited as source for new AI answers.

It's just one of those sites that focuses on one thing, and does that extremely well, without trying to extract as much money from its users as possible. Rare thing nowadays.

With Windows 10 going out of support soon, I suspect there will be an increase in Linux adoption. After all, why throw out perfectly good hardware because of an arbitrary rule that Microsoft made? For me, I know that I'll install Linux for some relatives.

GDPR doesn't stop personal data being stored. It handles whom it can be shared with, when it has to be deleted, and only collect as much data as required. Also gives transparency to the users about their data use.

And if I were to give over personal information to an AI company, then absolutely I'll prefer a company who actually complies with GDPR.

Well if it continues like this, that's what will happen. And I dread that future.

Noone will care to share anything for free anymore, because it's AI companies profiting off their hard work. And no way to prevent that from happening, because these crawlers don't identify themselves.

I'm 99% sure I already saw a product launch on HN for precisely this idea.

Why would we embrace that even more? In Software Development we try to keep things deterministic as much as possible. The more variables we're introducing into our software, the more complicated it becomes.

The whole notion of adding LLM prompts as a replacement for code just seems utterly insane to me. It would be a massive waste of resources as we're reprompting AI a lot more frequently than we need to. Also must be fun to debug, as it may or may not work correctly depending on how the LLM model is feeling at that moment. Compilation should always be deterministic, given the same environment.

Can't you do the same with Obsidian too? It's also just Markdown, and I believe there's even a plugin to perform Git commands within Obsidian. The main issue you can run into, is when you overly rely on markup syntax that only works in Obsidian.
