I remember watching and discussing this film in a film appreciation class. Neat to hear Hoffman's side of it (though it sounds like it wasn't a good time).

AI doesn't help the writer communicate ideas. It helps them obfuscate those ideas behind bloated language where even the writer can't discern if it's good or not.

It's the modern equivalent of going to a thesaurus and replacing all your natural words with five-dollar ones.

If you're not confident in your English then just write your brilliant ideas in broken English. Or at most do a direct translation. But don't fluff it with AI's nonsense.

If the ideas are good they will be recognized.

By then it's too late

I'm a bit confused why you have housing and healthcare "up to the state". Are we talking about the United States or somewhere else?

Generally agree, but this is Wikipedia we're talking about.

>are you sure you even have a way to notice all the new cool software that exists?

This might be a problem in itself. I find myself unable to have the time to even investigate new software because even newer software with even more features comes around a week later. I bookmark so many Show HNs that I'm impressed by and only ever go back to a rare few.

The term "drop" becoming a synonym for "release", "put out" or "put into effect" for things outside of music/albums is one of the most confusing linguistic innovations of the last decade.

>and good for my reputation

Do you think this will still apply for future generations? It seems like many people now are grabbing code either directly from model training or using agents to blindly scrape the web, finding code and customizing it without ever considering the author. Do you think individual contributors of open source code will have the same reputational incentive?

I must be old. I just keep thinking about what kind of whiplash I'd get with those flips

What are we all filling out those forms before the visit for if the doctor's not even going to read them before we see them?

That's interesting because I think of Low E on the "top" as meaning close to me, which puts it on the bottom of the screen in this app. That matches what happens when I twist a real guitar face towards me when I've got one strapped. So I just switched it to Tab view and it all felt better.

I don't know about hate, but it is funny to see their take on the modern family (no pun intended).
