lmao the reason he finally figured it out was because she didn't understand him sarcasm, so he figured she must have neurological issues? classic

The people developing that left NYT and spun it out into a separate (really great!) project https://github.com/handlewithcarecollective/react-prosemirro...

They are also working on a collaborative editing suite for ProseMirror as an alternative to TipTap https://pitter-patter.dev/

you are not very good at detecting llm writing.

ofc he would have an llm write his blog posts

thanks for clarifying, this whole thread was sounding a bit ridiculous

i’m glad to hear this is being considered, thank you for your efforts

shut up bot

just bc everyone is calling you insane: you are being extremely reasonable.

"The [AI researchers] have known sin, and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose."[0]

which is what I would hope would happen, but they're probably fine not thinking about the consequences of their actions looking at their 7 figure salaries

exactly! while there may be some neutral to slightly positive use of this tech (haha funny video) I can only really see the evil uses of it: scams, misinformation, propaganda, easily available to create by anyone at massive scale.

I really don't see the argument for this tech to be any kind of good, unless you think moving into an era where you cannot trust any image or video is somehow a neutral outcome, AND are happy about the people who are in control of this tech. which I guess captures a larger part of the HN crowd than I'd hoped

I didn't read the article, but it's likely they are faster than light is when traveling through that water. light can have different speeds through different media.

for charged particles (so not for neutrinos) this leads the Cherenkov radiation, often observed in the cores of nuclear reactor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation

as to why in this case: it can be somewhat intuitive to think that photons would be forced to take a somewhat longer path when traveling through a medium they interact with a lot (water, anything with a charge) then something which is almost going at the speed of light and famously doesn't interact with almost anything!

No, Anthropic did not want Claude to be used for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance, in response to which the Department of Defense banned them from every defense use

wow, thank you for sharing that, fascinating read! glad you (presumably) recovered well from that episode, sounds quite scary!

Since the other guy wasn't particularly helpful, i'll try to add some context (mostly through my knowledge of iDeal, the Dutch payment system which Wero is based on).

You're right that it's a bit confusing, as Wero's marketing is mostly focused on P2P transfer usecases, ie like US's Venmo/Cashapp, which as you note we can already do with SEPA transfers. Wero does have a small benefit in that case, as it's slightly more secure (you don't need to share your bank account, and there's a dedicated app that most Western Europeans will soon be familiar with).

The bigger benefit I think is as a unified e-commerce solution. While Wero is not directly an EU initiative, it's still supported by the EU commission. In general a good thing to keep in mind when evaluating EU financial/economic news is that one of the main things the EU tries to do is strengthen and protect their "single market": they want to make the flow of commerce within EUs borders as seamless as possible.

Having a unified ecommerce payment solution, so that you can eg just as easily order goods from German webshops as a Frenchman as you can from a French one (barring shipping etc) is in the EUs interest. Of course it's also in the banks that put forward this initiative's interest.

But, speaking as a consumer: this rules! iDeal is really nice, much nicer to use than credit cards or PayPal imo. I think it's easy to see why you would prefer a dedicated payment system in ecommerce rather than plain SEPA transfers (which most shops don't support) or credit cards, but in case that's not clear:

- Faster checkouts

- Don't need to share bank account numbers/sensitive credit card info

- Fees are much lower than credit cards (at least for iDeal its fractions of a cent per transaction: https://ideal.nl/en/ideal-fees)

- (Coming) built in support for subscriptions

Hope that gave a bit of an idea!

wrong, also the netherlands

this is really really cool, this makes archiving so much easier!

great job

shut up man you know what they mean

this isn't just an empty comment -- it's the same llm slop infesting every part of your existence.

thank you!

Unlikely any vegan would have any moral qualms about algae, given that they’re not animals. Maybe you were thinking of oysters/clams/bivalves?

why do you think the reason for them becoming vegan has something to do with B12 levels? likely they became vegan for different reasons, became much more aware of the importance of B12 and started taking a supplement.

every vegan should supplement b12, so they probably do too

i’ve had this happen due to going from beta builds to stable builds or vice versa. not super clear exactly which of those triggered it, or whether it was just a beta build bug, but the 5x reboot always fixes it

I struggle to find non-evil applications of voice-cloning. Maybe listening to your dead relative's voice one more time? But those use-cases seems so niche to the overwhelming use this will likely have: misinformation, scamming, putting voice actors out of work.

It is significantly better.

i use Storyteller to sync an audiobook and ebook, then prop up my phone/ereader and have it navigate automatically while reading/listening. very comfy

you’re right, i just had a visceral reaction at the idea of reading a novel at a desk.
