Isn’t there an “original work” category?

sincerely··on New York City's iconic horse-drawn carriages expected to take their last trot
Egregious & consistent mistreatment of the horses.

The past four mayors have all tried to end the practice but the jockeys (drivers?) are part of a powerful transportation union.

sincerely··on Show HN: WallHop – 12ft.io is gone, so I built a replacement
Isn’t archive.today notorious for doing exactly what you describe
sincerely··on Ember-1
"Oh darn, you know that thing I made and released with explicit, precise language defining who can use it and what, if any, restrictions apply? Well now someone is using it in complete accordance with those conditions I set out, and that's somehow making me upset"
sincerely··on Unsealed Briefs in Authors’ Case v. Microsoft/OpenAI
The “hacker” community (for lack of a better term) has a longstanding and well documented skepticism towards the concept of intellectual property in general. “Information wants to be free” and all that.

Let he who has not downloaded from Annas Archive cast the first stone

sincerely··on AI Is Not Going to Kill My Love of Math
Some people still make wood furniture by hand too. Do what makes you happy. Just don't get caught up insisting that you deserve to be paid for it.
sincerely··on Go grandmaster Shin defeats AI KataGo with a two-stone handicap
If anyone wants to know more about the chess model: https://lczero.org/blog/2024/12/the-leela-piece-odds-challen...

You can choose which piece it's missing. It's humbling to lose starting up a queen

sincerely··on One corner of China’s internet is insisting that the Tang Dynasty never existed
A much better article about the phenomenon: https://open.substack.com/pub/ramble/p/the-tang-dynasty-was-...

I’m not even sure what would be gained by formal verification of a GUI
sincerely··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
Well there is no “roof rule” on the page they linked
sincerely··on CS 6120: Advanced Compilers: The Self-Guided Online Course (2020)

sincerely··on Show HN: Semble – Code search for agents that uses 98% fewer tokens than grep
I would be surprised if, in the "mature" future of AI tools/products, the labs building the models are also selling/building to end users like they are now.
sincerely··on AI is a technology not a product
>I think I'm at 1 success out of 15 attempts for Gemini to explain how to do something in Google Sheets/Docs, though, so I'm not hopeful that anyone can actually implement this.

People love to talk about this as one of the helpful features of AI (knowledge extraction from documents/summarizing), but I'm really not convinced. The last generation of models seem to have 70-90% accuracy on tasks like this, which is way below what i'd consider a reliable tool

e.g. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/digital-health/articles...

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11197181/

I don't know if there are any benchmarks for this sort of task, maybe the new ones are improved but I also doubt that people are using GPT5.5 pro ultrathink for these tasks anyways

sincerely··on I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan
This post is full of AI flair unfortunately

Me explaining to a teacher why i cheated on the test: well did you stop to consider the cognitive load of doing the problems myself and how much easier it was to cheat?
sincerely··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
I can’t agree more, this “our software is open source but we have unwritten rules about how you can use it or we’ll attempt to shame you” attitude is absurd
sincerely··on “Why not just use Lean?”
I think they're talking about conjectures that are unproven but seem "likely true" and people build further math off the assumption. E.G Reimann hypothesis
sincerely··on Can you stop beans from making you gassy?
This is exhaustively covered in the article
sincerely··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
Not a problem if they're offering unlimited, lol
sincerely··on Claude Code to be removed from Anthropic's Pro plan?
Just like me :)
sincerely··on Salmon exposed to cocaine and its main byproduct roam more widely
This comment seems addressed to the portion of the population that both doesn’t know how to safely buy illegal drugs and also is able to determine which drug sellers are reputable. i can only assume this is an extremely small amount of people
