albedoa··on Beer CSS – Build material design in record time
Welcome to the future! We better get used to it.
albedoa··on Wolves are reconquering Europe. Can people learn to live with them?
Oh just they wait. They will be real sorry when this highly improbably event happens.
albedoa··on Rent collections are down in New York
The reason why nobody gets along with you has literally nothing to do with your "differing political opinions" and everything to do with the fact that I have to tell you that.
albedoa··on Rent collections are down in New York
Okay. I can anecdotally tell you that user jandrewrogers does not know of any cases in Seattle where tenants with high incomes that could easily pay just don't. Our anecdotes cancel each other out.

> how could I ever present a verifiable citation for it?

There would likely be at least one (1) report of such a wild claim due to how wild it is. We wouldn't need anecdotes!

albedoa··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
If they don't give a shit, then the bullying isn't an issue. If it's an issue, then they give a shit.
albedoa··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
You could just, like, scroll up to your own comment.
albedoa··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
Weird comment!
albedoa··on U.S. pulling ocean sensors a 'shock' for Canadian research as El Niño nears
Your crashout is epic lol.
albedoa··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
> it’s becoming normal to just throw out “Claude says this” without doing any fact checking.

And without sharing the prompt or the actual response. Like sure, it's possible Claude said something so obviously wrong. Depending on your experience, you might even think it to be probable.

But then why wouldn't OP preempt any doubt and simply share the part that matters? What are we doing.

albedoa··on The AirPods Effect
Ah yes, that natural many-thousand-year-old massive festival tradition we all know and love: the twice-daily subway ride. Good comparison.
albedoa··on U.S. science is in chaos
It's every time with these freaks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44294782
albedoa··on xAI is looking more like a datacentre REIT than a frontier lab
lmfao did you create a new account just to reply to yourself.
albedoa··on What it feels like to work with Mythos
If you delete the video from the DOM, then click back into the content area, it reattaches the video lol.
albedoa··on Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers
This is a confusion that you could not have predicted, but primed by your comment, I expected "terminal star" to refer to a suggested predecessor of the AI rockstar. No, it refers to the animated Claude Code star :P
albedoa··on Stop the Apple Music app from launching
This question is fascinating. The reason why pressing the Play button when no media session is available should not open the music player is because there is no media session available. Why would launching Apple Music be the desired or even expected behavior?
albedoa··on Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring
And often your investments will lose you money, so try to avoid the unprofitable ones, especially when starting out.
albedoa··on Domain expertise has always been the real moat
The parent completely made up a statistic and then confidently restated it when pressed lol.
albedoa··on Meta confirms 1000s of Instagram accounts were hacked by abusing its AI chatbot
There is nothing wrong with that, and nobody is saying there is. In fact, it is exactly what is being requested here!
albedoa··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
What, the Zillow listing of you home doesn't have pictures of mixed 15 and 20a receptacles on the same circuit that an AI caught but that an inspector missed?

Is that what you're telling us??

albedoa··on Did Claude increase bugs in rsync?
> I work with outsourced code all the time and it is a tyre fire without exception. I just spent a week scrubbing a codebase where some dev “did the needful” and committed an on-by-default flag to bypass authentication checks because he didn’t known how to set up his local work environment.

OP knows this but finds himself in the strange position of having to defend India slop in order to defend AI slop, totally unnecessarily and unprompted. It's baffling to you and me.

albedoa··on Did Claude increase bugs in rsync?
> It reminds me a lot of when offshore outsources started getting more software development work from the mid-90s with all the derogatory remarks made towards 'Indian developers'.

What was the impetus of the derogatory remarks?

albedoa··on Astronauts told to return to ISS after sheltering over air leak repairs
"That certainly explains it" and it refers to the literal style guide.

Buddy, you don't need to hand it to the top-level comment here. I am giving you permission to disagree with the style while admitting that the comment is bad. Be free.

albedoa··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
Well, you're not twisting yourself into knots to identify breakthroughs. Try harder!
albedoa··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
The quote in the original comment assesses the survey responses as "impossible". A good-faith reading of the comment is that the professor was not talking about a handful of respondents.

Nobody is doubting that there are some people who watch films 10–12 hours a day, every day of the week.

albedoa··on The worst job interview I ever had
> Keeping in mind the context of the original parent comment, yes it is 100% standard to ask about the "hardest day of your [working] life."

The original comment says:

> Like on a college application, they expect you to answer it.

I don't know if that changes your interpretation, but if the other replies are any indication, yours is not the default.

albedoa··on Stripe is friendly to “friendly fraud”
> They cannot be arbitrators of every little edge cases

Is this an edge case? It looks like your standard chargeback fraud accompanied by a pile of evidence. What does a common case look like in contrast?

We should expect this to become even more rampant given the ease of clicking a chargeback button and the apparent lack of repercussions.

albedoa··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
> So given that context, your argument will read to many as engaging in that style, and as a result they really don't want to engage with you on the merits of what your saying

On the contrary, everyone is engaging timr within the scope of the exact challenge that he himself designed. Repeatedly, he has refused to answer his own question while insisting that he has. It's pretty wild.

albedoa··on AI has a multiplying effect on existing technical skills
I'm looking at that Tailwind thread. Do you really think that your comment here is a fair assessment of what you were told there? Come on now.

albedoa··on Disney erased FiveThirtyEight
> Call it emotional, naive, unfair or whatever you want

We would need a pass from the mods lol.

albedoa··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
> The question is why are you so eager to give critique on unrelated work

That is not the question. The topic of discussion had been defined multiple times before you commented!
