It's just another business/service niche that is solved until the current Big Provider becomes Evil or goes under.

Similar to "made for everyone" social networks and video upload platforms.

But there are niches that are trip planning + there are no one solving the pain! For example Geocaching. I always dreamed about an easy way to plan Geocaching routes to travel and find interesting caches on the way. Currently you gotta filter them out and then eyeball the map what seems to be nearby, despite there, maybe, not being any real roads there, or the cache is probably maybe actually lost or has to be accessed at specific time of day.

So... No one wants apps that are already solved + boring.

Reminds me of something from Warhammer 40k universe. Next someone is going to put ChatGPT helper inside a human skull, probably :V

Kinda like paper newspapers. In some ways it's "not optimal", but in many ways it's irreplaceable.

By this point we can also discuss what is trully original and what if creative work is just "stealing" ideas that other people "created" before.

(I don't have an answer, just wondering.)

> can't actually verify

Why? Can't it be done same way it's done with copyrighted material: by checking the authors process?

(Because at least in EU law permits writing basically same thing, if both authors reached it organically - have a trail of drafts, other writing process documents. As long as you proved you came upon it without influence from the other author.)

Proving that you done it without AI can be similar. For example - just videotaping whole writing process.

Now, as for if anyone cares about such proofs is another topic.

Swipe right if you vibe with AI suggestion, swipe left if not.

I wonder what is this fascination with human shaped robots, if spider shaped robots could be more dexterous and productive.

(Unless it's sci-fi and porn that is mainly pushing for human shaped robots.)

As the saying goes, is it even theft if you don't own the device? (If you can't do whatever you wish.)

Maybe they can use same method as Google does - if user clicked a link and didn't try to search again, it can assume the link had intended result.

So your silence can be used as a warmish signal that you were satisfied. (...or not. Depends on your usage fingerprint.)

Before I read this same wiki I thought that "mob" meant mobile, like programming on a phone, ha!

And usually hackers/malicious actors from that country are not afraid to attack anyone that is not russian, because their local law permits attacking targets in other countries.

(It sometimes comes to funny situations where malware doesn't enable itself on Windows machines if it detects that russian language keyboard is installed.)

I couldn't find an answer on google - how is a goat farm precursor for music? It's an activity that needs herding and shepherds started playing songs for fun? Or..? :o

It's interesting how HN crowd are mostly text (and text with low formatting too!) consumers. Compared to other social media, and even old school forums...

Are we mostly l33t developers here, in love with CLI and Vim? Ha!

I get the gist, but I waited for a day to check it again: 6 / 29 today (+ 1 hiring ad). A bit more, but still not 50% :D

Just to make sure, which part of HN are you looking at? Because at least what I managed to count at this very moment on the front page (page 1), there are 24 non-AI and non-LLM related topics out of 30. Is that rare?

They gathered up the links for processing, because Google doesn't just give a list of short links in use. So the links have to be brute-forcefully gathered first.

Wouldn't this lead to pirated page clones where customer pays less for same-ish content, and less, all the way down to essentially free?

Because I as an user would be glad to have "free sites only" filter, and then just steal content :))

But it's an interesting idea and thought experiment.

I would add that also a lot of solar power is funded by small capital (homeowners). There is no real way for small capital holders to fund and gain profits from nuclear energy, and installing wind or water turbines are not realistic at 99% of homes.

Crazy idea, but why do kids need dropping them off to school?

If school is not further than 1 km, kid can just walk there. And in most German (and other European) cities schools are nearby.

And for locations that are remote, there are school buses, and public buses too...

Kid transportation is important, but it doesn't have to be cars. (I won't even go into kids who bycicle to their schools.) Of course, I understand that for kindergarten it's a different topic, but if we are taking about schools a person is already of age where they know where their home is and where they are going to.

I wonder how can one even calculate time spent reading in hours. Most of reading is, after all, thinking (and reminiscing) about what you read...

I think maybe OP was using some obscure meme format. Or if it was genuine I am also interested how did the 500 hours came upon.

This would be extra interesting for unique designs - something more experimental, new. As as for now even when you ask AI to break all rules it still outputs standard BS.

(And to connect this with AI...)

I guess we could count the need for more efficient IT tools/engines too - use less electric and human power to fulfill our knowledge needs using better algorythms.

Have you even been in the parks and forests before, haha? :-D At least in Lithuania there were lots of caps lost - half of cleaning up the parks time was bending to pick out caps out of the dirt. Not anymore.

It's similar to free plastic bags or deposit system for bottles. Inconvenience is so tiny that no person genuinely complain about that (not for social karma/attention), but economically when there were millions of bags and half a million bottles sold every day...

To put it into HN-themed metaphor, reducing error log verbosity matters too, when you have millions of lines.

Have you looked into Lithuania? (I don't know about other countries, only live in this one.)

Thought maybe I understood the discussion wrong, because Lithuania does have a minimum wage that is government mandated.

And long before the internet there was horoscope signs that, somehow, still manage to stick around.

As all the previous booms - hard to predict before it happens. And if we do predict, high chances are that we will miss.

My personal guess is something in the medical field, because surely all the AI search tools could help to detect common items in all the medical data. Maybe more of ozempyc, maybe for some other health issue. (Of course, who knows. Maybe it turns out that the next boom is going to be in figuring out ways to make things go boom. I hope not.)

I see this as an art project. (And technical exploration, because I wonder how did they manage to scrape Google.)

It's made by the dude that has a lot of similarly strange and technologically impressive projects: https://walzr.com/

Goodreads is the only real (popular) review site for non-american books too. If Amazon doesn't sell lithuanian books, how can I review those there? :)

In my scale 3/5 is good (got what expected), 4/5 is very good (nice bargain), 5/5 is uniquely amazing. But I do understand that for some anything below 5/5 is bad.

Unless it was unexpectedly good. Sometimes I rush to write a 5 star review if a random restaurant in middle of nowhere exceeds my expectations - so more people would know of the place.
