This is Hacker News where we appreciate these types comments.

Polls became much less interesting as an Entertainment category once we all had experience with how unreliable they are.

People are going to make jokes about people who cover/steal songs being upset about Ai cover/stealing their songs.

But the article helped me understand exactly how much human originality is required for something to make it over the good guy / bad guy line.

Don't you think their is an opposite of that effect too?

I feel like I can breeze past the easy, time consuming infrastructure phase of projects, and spend MUCH more time getting to high level interesting problems?

Is "CRIME" an acronym?

Or is this actually a law enforcement related example?

I was forced to do this as a developer of Flash websites in the early 00's.

I loved making custom progress bars really fun so people didn't mind watching the huge sites download.

I HATED when they had me mess with the time so that it got to 90% really fast and then spent AGES finishing the last 10%.

By the same logic we could say that there is no safe off-ramp from any diet or exercise protocol.

When the treatment is ceased, the benefits go away.

Just for fun, I would love to power my Game Boy with a little tiny gas powered engine.

Couldn't you make the same argument that any of us on this forum using more than 1 monitor at our desk, doesn't really understand the benefits of our technology and are using our monitors like 19th century chalk boards?

Why would someone ever make this?

You can still spend the money. But you don't need to show off in front of the people you are stealing the money from.

There are a bunch of accounting firms, law firms, and consulting agencies that don't allow their employees to wear super expensive clothing, jewelry or drive luxury cars in front of their clients. And they aren't even doing anything illegal.

I've already spent HOURS in Midjourney generating hundreds of images just to get the perfect cyborg robot elf. I just want to use that work and upload the best of those images into the character creator, rather than hoping the prompt gets me something close to the character I want and waiting 20 minutes to find out.

This joke made my day.

Any chance you will add the ability to upload images into your character creator?

I don't understand why someone would make this?

Game looks great. Are you supporting Flight Sticks?

The tennis ball was definitely planned, but I don't think its an Apple plant.

This dude is kind of obsessed with the ball and trying to juggle with the headset on. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b3__WACGQzY

Nice answer. I have to say both the games on your Profile look great, and I am definitely going to try one tonight.

Do you recommend I start with Dwarven Skykeep or Vengence of Mr. Peppermint if I'm playing on a Steam Deck?

I promise I mean this question honestly and not sarcastic.

But if having a rolex means you have some money but nothing to say... What type of watch do real watch people buy? And what interesting thing are they saying through their purchase?

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks.

Could you give an example of 1 of the perverse incentives that could cause that? It's very interesting.

Question: If you are a serious coder, is it more realistic to do a workday in VR or with an iPad Pro?

I can't believe we are blaming this ENTIRELY on drivers... with people in the comments even claiming that the quality of drivers has gone done because work from home has put more poor people on the road.

Just look at the pedestrians you pass on your next drive. Count how many of them are looking at their phone while walking. I just did this and it was 4/10. I think Pedestrian behavior and awareness *might be a little different than it was 40 years ago as well.

I'm in a similar mode.

But what no one thinks about is how much the productivity we lose from wasting time on Reddit is costing us. If I cut out my Reddit use (while just at work), and replaced that with actual work.... I could easily make $3,000 to $4,000 dollars more a year.

And I am not particularly well paid. I don't make 6 figures, so that amount of money is a pretty huge deal for me.

But still our brains think in terms more like.... well I'd pay $25 for this one time, but I won't pay $5 per month because that's just TOO MUCH.

How doesn't it help artists?

It seems like the photographer here is pretty happy about her copyright.

I love SCI-FI thinking about a world without copyright or patent protections, to wonder what it would be like for humanity after a couple centuries. But I can't help but feel artists not getting credit for their work, would at least hurt them on the individual level.

So if Bash is like Obi Wan surviving where other didn't....

Is Bash just surviving because no one knows about it or has remembers it while its been hiding in your system for 20 years?

Dude, I love your Medieval Content Farm!!!

> c) (the best one) memorize everything from leetcode style solutions and definitions to mathematics MCQs.

Couldn't it be argued that memorizing leetcode solutions IS NOT cheating? Seems like it would be better to understand things at a fundamental level, but its still proof of ability to master the problem in and takes a lot of effort.

Especially if the person was upfront about the fact they could solve the problem but still didn't understand everything about it.

Which is super encouraged by the standard, "you should be switching jobs every 2 years to maximize your wage".
