Fb groups constantly push far right groups in recommendations. Becoming more like Twitter now
hn1986··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
Downvoted for not reading the whole article and cherry picking one thing.
hn1986··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
3 months is a long time in AI world
hn1986··on Grok Build is open source
I don't know anyone who would trust Grok Build anymore. I'd be wary of Cursor in the next few months too.
hn1986··on Grok CLI uploaded the whole home directory to GCS
curious what all these people say now that xai admits they were wrong.
hn1986··on Grok 4.5
because in the real-world, it's far better than the rest. That's why few people use Grok, it's not even close in day to day work.
hn1986··on GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse
needs to be higher up
hn1986··on The real cost of owning a home
most of these articles neglect to mention families. so I downvote for simple lack of completeness.

hn1986··on Blood test boosts Alzheimer's diagnosis accuracy to 94.5%, clinical study shows
Lots of good info here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11771116/

hn1986··on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards
What's also bizarre is that there is hardcore porn on Twitter and that seemingly is ok on these app stores??? As far as I know, that's the only app on each store that has such an abundance of that content.
hn1986··on Tumblr removed from Apple App Store over abuse images (2018)
not just that but you can easily find and see hardcore porn on Twitter, which against Apple and Google's own rules on the app store. But Musk gets a free pass, of course because double standards

Glad i'm not the only one. I use SQL primarily and it is awful and distracting
hn1986··on X Just Accidentally Exposed a Covert Influence Network Targeting Americans
this isn't surprising. as the article mentions, this has been going on since at least 2016. You can expect influence campaigns to be on every social network and comment section.

The problem is that these companies do nothing about this.

hn1986··on nao – AI code editor for data
As a data engineer, the current tools for data seem lacking, even when coupled with MCP servers.

I'm not sure if a separate IDE is the solution but glad to see additional development in this space.

YCombinator backed too https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/nao-labs

main competitor - https://julius.ai/

Edit: and I see that they launched on here already. Ignore my post

hn1986··on Twitter Shadow Bans Turkish Presidential Candidate

hn1986··on Show HN: Whispering – Open-source, local-first dictation you can trust
excellent tool and easy to get started.

on win11, i installed ffmpeg using winget but it's not detecting it. running ffmpeg -version works but the app doesn't detect it.

one thing, how can we reduce the number of notifications received?

i like the system prompt option too.

it's been proven that github doesn't have the latest system prompts for grok
hn1986··on Are we the baddies?
Or the fact that he volunteered to work for Twitter, which is the ultimate propaganda recommendation algorithm since Musk took over.
