ilikeitdark··on PayPal launches its own U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin
I'm from the USA but been living in Spain for ages, and I'm the only one I know that uses PayPal. Everyone does bank transfer.
ilikeitdark··on Dimeadozen.ai – AI-powered market research for any startup
It failed with my gold laminated butt plug idea I've had bouncing around my head for ages.
ilikeitdark··on Let the internet be grimy
I for one, miss the old, grimey internet. Reddit is/was so good because of the possibility that you might find something disturbing while using it. Just about everyone is represented on there. YouTube was also much better when the sketchiness was easier to accidentally run into.
ilikeitdark··on Warning: Geomagnetic K-index of 4 expected; electron 2MeV Integral Flux >1000pfu
Didn't know that. Any you can recommend?
ilikeitdark··on US Air Force colonel ‘misspoke’ about drone killing pilot
There is a theory going around that an AI created the story, and another AI is trying to discredit the story. Maybe I'm an AI.
ilikeitdark··on Microsoft to Add Bing Search to OpenAI’s ChatGPT in Battle with Google
Watermarks? Microsoft in a race to the bottom with Google to see who can kill their LLM quicker.
ilikeitdark··on Show HN: The Last of Us Intro Creator
Definitely don't like how it purposely hides the fact that it cost money (15 bucks!!!) until the end of the process. A bit dark patterns for a Show HN.
ilikeitdark··on Show HN: Explore careers that you don't know even exist
Nice idea, but I felt like it was asking me for help, not helping me.
ilikeitdark··on Habits of Highly Overrated People (2013)
Elon Musk
ilikeitdark··on Vocaloid 6
Seriously, that was complete torture watching that video. I thought for some stupid reason it might be interesting. Wrong.
ilikeitdark··on Musicians, writers and scholars on Ornette Coleman
One of my all time favorites and an inspiration, as I'm a musician too. Push boundaries and break stuff.
ilikeitdark··on Barcelona-style “superblocks” could make cities greener and less car-centric
I'm living in Barcelona, I don't own a car (and hopefully never will need to) and I'm a fan of getting rid of cars in downtown areas. But there are few downsides. Horrible pollution while they are making them, due to street closures (I'm right next to a new one under construction and I've never experienced air pollution this bad in my 20 years here. It's horrible walking my kids to school. And it will be a 9 month construction job). Also once the superblocks are built, crime increases (no traffic ie witnesses) and rents increase (pedestrian friendly area!). This has happened in other superblock areas near me.
ilikeitdark··on Latest Soundboks firmware cuts the performance of their speakers by half
Even though I was supposed to sympathize with user, and be angry at the company, the exact opposite actually happened.
ilikeitdark··on HN is up again
I've been noticing internet problems here and there all week, and was getting a little sketched out (is the heat waves, Russia, or alien attack:) so this really got me worried.
ilikeitdark··on Notice of termination of Twitter merger agreement
The dude is funny, gotta give him at least that.
ilikeitdark··on Problems at Roblox
Sadly my nine year old daughter is addicted, and have trying "soft" measures to get her away from it (like buying a Switch and Animal Crossing) but all her friends are on Roblox. Has anyone seen any good videos for kids that explain the negatives of Roblox, and tried any successful methods with their children?
ilikeitdark··on Ask HN: AI-Generated Music?
Looks interesting, just signed up and joined the discord. When will you have something to play with?
ilikeitdark··on Ask HN: Is there an “uncanny valley” effect with startup MVPs?
I'd personally get rid of the expression "dead simple". Dead or any other negative words should be avoided.
ilikeitdark··on Eurovision Song Contest Bingo
Cheesy and awful but fun. I'd be down with Portugal or Ukraine winning. Although also liked Iceland.
ilikeitdark··on Long-term benzodiazepine use causes synapse loss and cognitive deficits in mice
Doctor gave me for anxiety in the day and sleeping at night. On it for way too long,and horrible. Definitely not worth it.
ilikeitdark··on An elaborate con that tricked dozens into working for a fake design agency
A similar thing actually happened to me, by a friend of a friend (although we lived in different countries). He was making an adult film that was supposed to be for a big platform. Hired everyone (including some big names), rented condos, film equipment, paid for flights (convinced a producer to front the money for some of it). At the end of the week long shoot he tried disappearing without paying for anything or anyone. And there was no platform involved, it was all made up. And my life was threatened by a few of the people he had "hired" because they thought I knew the guy (although I really didn't and he ripped me off too). This guy Ali sounds like the same kinda psychopath.
