> I'm not going to list specific apps since I don't want to be a shill

If you’re not getting paid to promote them, you’re not a shill. Honest recommendations are welcome!

More explicitly so. The Dutch go rodent where Americans go feline.

Depends on the style guide you’re following, apparently: The AP style guide says space around them[0]. Chicago Manual of Style says not to[1].

That’s a funny typo in the HN headline. :D

Like a cross between anagrams and palindromes.

Most of the images on the site are interactable, and doing so will help visualize the various ways you get multiple meanings from a single "gram".

Propaganda, mostly.

You don't think people with the planning skills and intelligence to real-time coordinate and sequence air traffic have the skills to foresee an impending event and start planning, coordinating and sequencing their personal responses to that event?

I'd hardly call the Guardian mainstream. I'm talking about the places the septuagenarians get their news. The three-letter places with shows. That is the mainstream media. Guardian's an underdog upstart in that landscape.

Even the AP, with their dedication to balance, truth and accountability is restricted in what they can cover because they didn't bend the knee. And even their headline is blaming the shutdown on the Dems.

It’s almost as though the mainstream media are all controlled by huge conglomerates run by multimillionaires or billionaires who have a strong political interest in keeping “the narrative” skewed against the Dems.

Could you link some of your sources please?

I got to 30 before I called it. Been too long since I’ve done sliding-tile puzzles to remember the algorithms.

Yeah, but facebook^WMeta didn’t develop those… they bought them to stifle competition.

Your “Imagine…” hypothetical is literally how I run my iPhone. I don’t need piles of icons cluttering up my screen. I can pull down and type 1-2 characters and get any app on my phone, easily.

More room for glanceable, informational widgets that way.

A realization that I came to today is the fact that I’m still on my 12 because it’s (one of the?) last PRODUCT(RED) one.

The Sage Air has my eye. Would match my AirPods Max. But that orange pro is also calling.

This thread is specifically about jobs, where people are specifically evaluated on an individual basis. University admissions are a whole different discussion, but are broken in similar ways.

The system should value qualification higher than other factors. But the system is made up of people with inherent biases that has led to imbalanced representation of the majority over actual qualifications.

You can strive for excellence and equality at the same time. It’s not zero sum.

When the system is dominated by the majority, and has been for a long time, a correction requires being “discriminatory against the majority”.

“The system” itself was incorrect before. This is why it’s called systemic racism/sexism/etc.

I know HN is gonna downvote me into oblivion for this, but… I’m a cis-het white dude, a this rings true for me:

“When you’ve been in the majority for a long time, equality can feel like oppression.”

Just because a system desires proportional representation does not mean it’s discriminatory against the majority. It just means it’s no longer preferential toward them.

By “not a sudden interruption” I meant something getting cut off mid word.

Also, the AP Style guide is hardly relevant when it comes to most writing—especially creative writing.

> Or how about when the criminals discover that they can avoid being shot by dressing up in police uniforms. . .

Sadly, we’re already past this point in the US.

The real AI tell for me is that it—generally speaking—spaces them incorrectly.

An em dash that’s not a sudden interruption shouldn’t have any spacing around it.

Didn’t we “let the market decide” and the market drowned out every other player but Apple and Google?

Why did so many people pick iPhone or Android over their prior competitors? Because the developers wrote software there. Why did the devs write software there? Because people were picking those ecosystems. It was an upward spiral that changed the world a LOT in 18 years, but it was all started with Apple—being a hardware company—selling premium-quality hardware, and then adding their support for third party development.

So… what would be a trusted domain, for you, then?

“Do not mistake my kindness for weakness.” is a handy mantra to help avoid that.

That’s not evidence of Apple doing mass layoffs, though.

Why the carve-out for plagiarism? And how does an LLM reciting all or part of a work verbatim not qualify as plagiarism?

Counterpoint, these are actually the two most-frequently used functions of non-programmers:

AI isn’t programmed to have emotions. Merely to replicate a semblance of a simulacrum of said sensations. Regardless of your considerations for the electrical signals, the models are just tab-completion, ad infinitum.

Wait, you guys are getting paid?

As someone who was recently in NYC for a conference, I found the subway system very easy to navigate in the 21st century. It was pretty cool to not need any cabs or cars at all, for a whole week.

The Transit app makes it trivial to navigate between any given two points on the most efficient route. A current version of this game would require prohibition of navigation apps, as well as asking directions.
