About 1/4 of these are advertisements for American companies in South Vietnam ;)
1209412comb··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
There are probably x10 America's propaganda on every social media sites, counting right-wing conservative politics alone.
1209412comb··on Exercise may be the 'most potent medical intervention ever known'
You can just eat calorically less dense food a.k.a more veggie. Fasting is very hard, and also dangerous if you faint while driving.
1209412comb··on 30% drop in O1-preview accuracy when Putnam problems are slightly variated
I tried 3 times the "Which is heavier, a 10.01kg block of steel on or a 9.99kg bag of feathers?" and ChatGPT keep converting kg to pound and saying the 9.99kg is heavier.
1209412comb··on Ask HN: Programmers who don't use autocomplete/LSP, how do you do it?
It is pretty bad because coworkers use LSP / fuzzysearch and they will not do naming in a way that's more easy for the brain.
1209412comb··on GPT-5 is behind schedule
Semi-related but I find that sometime it just completely ruined a type of conversation.

Like as in your example, I would previously asked people "how would 911 handle an US Reservation Area", and watch how my friends think and reason. To me getting a conclusive answer was not a point. Now they just copy & paste Chat GPT, no fun haha.

How fast he was able to achieve this is amazing, but you probably can already do this with Chinese characters ( I assume you are from a Latin based language ), and even intuit how radicals combine into a character.

Non native can do this pretty good just due to how much American Media is available to the world.
1209412comb··on Added sugar intake and its associations with incidence of cardiovascular disease
>highest risks of most outcomes were found in the lowest intake category

If I am reading this right, it means small amount is even worse than a lot of it.

1209412comb··on Ask HN: Generative AI Courses for Artists
I don't think these artists need to go through a full course of how these modeling works under neath. It's a lot of effort if you don't already have a good background in STEM. I don't think they would gain more appreciation for GenAI even if they see how hard to make these models.

There are a lot of other interesting Computer Generative Art that are not Diffusions. Maybe those a more genuinely interesting to your artist friends.
