Yeah, thank you Google for the heads up, will look for alternatives (tbh already abandoned Google long time ago, need to find a maps alternative with public transport and working hours, near impossible in small European towns, Apple Maps db here is a joke)

Tragedy of the commons

Still burned they did not ship winFS then

Why oh why do you use AI to write articles?

‘This is the bit that gets lost.’ as a start of the paragraph, and then the very next sentence parroting the chapters title. 3 sentences for 0 new information and this pattern is overused to death.

Don’t you people read what you publish? So disrespectful

I ended up downgrading to Sequoia. Day and night difference! My air m2 16GB is snappy again!

And settings app does actually work!

I downgraded today for the first time in my life. Sequoia is crazy fast in my MacBook Air m2 16gb

Not upgrading any of my Macs ever again. I was a fanboy looking for every new update like a present, for 13 years, not anymore. It took one Tahoe burn all that trust. Never upgrading major OS versions on hardware from Apple again.

Thank you so much for this explanation. Love HN for this type of comments!

Three AI-generated positive comments in the row from new (green) accounts, with some being answered by Tailscale employees looks like AI-assisted astroturfing PR in hackernews. It’s rampart on every major social network (Reddit especially), interesting to see it live first time on the HN.

I am not anti advertising, I just think pushing AI into places were people interact is very bad behavior and should be punished.

Grok disagrees, chatGPT disagrees, freaking google disagrees. Could you provide names please?

Legal system supposed to…

Too bad it’s working only for the powerful.

Marx was right about some things…

Man, if this was irl, you'd be punched in the face or ostracized. That's a quick way to assess if your tone is right.

If you don't have a mental capacity to do that (nothing against you, some people are just born that way) — I pity you, but still, try to be 'helpful' over 'correct'. That's how civilization is built.

Wikipedia also have this problem, with moderators using some 'wiki-speak' jargon to 'win the comment battles'.

you are missing the point

And ads based on a fart! I guess you could throw in some spectrography for content aware ads too!! ‘Hmm, I sense you like onions, you would love French soup in the restaurant downstairs today!’

How hard is it to make TTS out of this? A few independent journalists from Belarus asked for TTS in their language, but I am no expert, was thinking about re-using Mozilla's work. What's the easiest way to get working TTS for a language?

I’ve started using text scaling on HN (Cmd++ on Mac, available on mobile, too) and it’s much easier to read and pleasant to the eye this way.

Excellent tl;dr! Would pay to get them for every worthwhile tech article.

I think it’s an artifact of AI being used to write it.

I spotted a few more down the page and stopped reading.

I trust the judgment (and curation) of a person who invested significant time into learning stuff and then took even more time to write it down.

I don’t trust people who use AI to generate text.

If I want to read AI slop — I can generate one myself.

I want some soul in texts.

It is a sad day for the internet.

Same thing, thinking about reinstalling :(

DHH has not completed his desktop Linux quest yet…

The first one for sure, second one — to an extent. If you publish “objectionable” apps (we are told this will be used to combat malware) — your certificate will be revoked.

Classic strawman argument and corporate tactics of shifting the conversation without addressing real concerns.

Still harder than PHP…

Did you try calling them?

Thank you for sharing this unpopular opinion.

Idea of people caring about money above all else and money being sole measure of things and 'more money is always better' is a huge delusion of our modern societies.

I think we are taking this idea to an extreme and we are already bearing consequences. I am afraid there will be more to come until the bell swings back. I hope it does not break the civilization as we know on it's way forward.

Thank you for your analysis!

plus a little of skills

you either completely misinformed on the topic or a troll

Thanks for speaking sense. I think 99% of people saying IMO problems are not hard would not be able to solve basic district-level competition problems and are just not equipped to judge the problems.

And 1% here are those IMO/IOI winners who think everyone is just like them. I grew up with them and to you, my friends, I say: this is the reason why AI would not take over the world (and might even not be that useful for real world tasks), even if it wins every damn contest out there.

Here you go — you did this type of problems as a kid/teenager. 1) you likely have a talent for it 2) you have some training.

I did participate in math/informatics olympiads as a teenager and even taught it a little and from my experience, some type of people just _like_ that sort of problems naturally, they tickle their minds, and given time this people would develop to insane levels at it.

'Normal people', in my experience, even in math departments, don't like that type of problems, and would not fare well with them.

> would be outright misleading

why would not they? what are the incentives not to?
