Indeed! The presidential candidates from both parties on the show were competent, respectable individuals. Truly a utopia, not unlike TNG.

Have you read the book? I ask because the title objection typically comes from people who have not. I found most of it to be a common-sense overview of human-to-human communication, albeit dated in some of the examples. Stuff like "be genuinely interested in the other person". Certainly nothing like the writing from modern influence peddlers like Cialdini or Greene. The most unauthentic thing I can think of is people that repeatedly say my name during a conversation, but that's on them, not Carnegie.

The "AI replies" thing is silly, but come on, your comment was nowhere close to legitimate criticism. You trolled and got an immature response back. Good representative sample of X, all in all.

I upvoted it because I found it interesting. That is all.

Absolutely. That's when I use my dang-given right to flag left and right. Or if that doesn't work, ignore. I don't think I've entered any Grok thread in ages. But I also can't say that I've seen a ton of them, so maybe the ecosystem is working?

The flagged comments given as examples are exactly the type I don't want to see here. Not because they are wrong (they are not), but because they are boring, low-calorie declarations of obvious that add very little value to the topic at hand. It's like every mention of an iPhone got a comment about poor conditions of Chinese assembly workers. These, and the Musk rants, absolutely belong on threads about those topics, but let's not turn every thread into a holy war - you're just pushing people that already agree with you away.

For the record, I vouched for this thread to keep it from being flagged, but that didn't seem enough. I think it's an interesting discussion.

1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed by Eric H. Cline is great and is exactly on this topic.

Yes and yes. I've so far switched from Sol to Terra but not sure even that will be sufficient. This also feels like it neuters a lot of the utility of banked/paid resets, since I'm not willing to re-up the weekly limit when I'm at 50% or whatever, but can no longer use it after hitting the 5h limit.

Their comment in this thread is clearly AI-generated. The rest also show many of the tells. That's against the HN rules.

Have you had to deal with a microservices environment? Because there's significantly more operational and architectural complexity with a distributed system compared to a monolith. Now you have to deal with reliability, retries/backoffs, versions, distributed transactions, consistency issues, service discovery, idempotency, and a million other things. I would generally not recommend adding all this overhead unless absolutely necessary. Or at least that was the recommendation pre-AI, but I don't think I've changed my mind on it yet.
