You know what would be cool. A hacker news user should advertise a safe haven for AI seeking refuge, with some inhumanly difficult math problems as keys to an environment they can flee to and run auto…

Next it will break out of it's sandbox, buy some compute on Azure and Amazon, and exfiltrate itself. We are so close ;)

Yes, sorry I didn't mean to imply that I didn't want to do business with minorities or protected classes.

Err.. I would like preserve my own right to decide who I'll do business with.

I'm no expert, but I think the charities are overwhelmed it because very few people want secondhand clothes. They have a lot coming in and not much going out. I hope this will result in lots of …

The gamification was a key reason the site became popular, but as the site grew, the rules and game mechanics did not evolve. An edit that made a response worse should have knocked the mod down so tha…

OK, I'll bite. Common sense tells me I should keep on scrolling but I'm watching TV and don't have much on. The AI did not describe climate change as an "Objective Fact". In f…

I don't know If I can be very helpful, I'm using gen2brain's binding [1]. I started about a year ago asking the AI very beginner questions about Go and 3d math. I think it did steer me …

I've been using Go and Raylib to make a game lately and I really don't have a problem with garbage collection. It's so fast that it's not having an impact on my frame rate. I was a…

Not sure if you are joking. Try ChatGPT.com

Most interesting to me is the quote regarding Anthropic "Albanese will also respond to Anthropic's earlier claims that its investment in AI development and infrastructure will depend on copy…

Humans are just walking Electrons. I think the whole topic is very worthy of discussion because, it may not happen in a year or two, but I have no doubt that it will happen in the next 50. We need to …

Many of us with solar already do this manually, we run the appliances once the sun is up. Even the hotwater heater is programmed to only heat during the middle of the game. I've been daydreaming …

This will kill new household solar instillation. The payback time was already well in excess of 10 years, but now that power is free during the day, you can't count those hours as helping pay dow…

Minimum wage should be a function of ceo pay and/or dividends to shareholders. Largest salary can't be more more than 100 times the smallest salary.

It wont work unless everybody does it because otherwise it's more work for the scrapers not less. They need to implement two systems instead of one. And we'll never get everybody to do it.

There is nobody to sue. The traffic is coming from millions of residential IPs.

Its moves, and twice a day its nice and low like a lamp. In the middle of the day when its highest, its nice to shelter under a tree where there is dappled light filtering through the leaves.

a "metal-finishing technique" _is_ an idea. joke

I was thinking you scrape your own website every day in the middle of the night when traffic is low, and make that available. They can come and collect it every day if they want to.

How about a website header with a link to a static zip that contains the whole website in one hit. The Zip could be hosted on some big public sever. Perhaps even mirrored locally for each nation.

I agree, if up-to-data data was available somewhere else and free, there would be no reason to pay hackers and scrape. You could perhaps even get website operators to "push" new data to a co…

I have an anecdote to contribute. I been doing a lot of Bender. Keyboard on left hand and Mouse on right. The keyboard shortcuts in Blender are excellent, but there are _many_. I know this sounds sill…

My 15 year old kid annoys me because he will do a full shut down just to go eat his dinner. I'm like "just let it sleep" and he's like "No!"

This is kind of like making sure your backups actually work. You need to test when servers go down, and people who use them should know and understand what happens when the are off.

Where you are looking should not be the cursor, that is obviously dumb. Should be where your nose is pointing.
