If users were the problem, why does it immediately show garbage content to new users or males, with zero evidence they want it, as written by other comments here?

Because without enough usage data on the OP, then the algo will revert to what is most successful to those with the info they DO have on him.

i.e : Thirst traps and bait videos.


It’s great for sheet music and for DnD DMing. I also use it store all things I write. I don’t use links though, I’m a barbarian who uses folders and canvases

I use the app for two things mainly: DnD DMing and sheet music. I think it’s deep but I mostly just make canvases and copy paste in images and then move those around to a useful shape. I put in tables, text, images, and all on canvases. I don’t use links really, I probably should but I use the known Folder structure to get to whichever canvas I’m working on.

They aren’t so hyped, HN is very divided. Many think it’s the next best thing, many others think it’s terrible and sloppy, and others are in between.

Relative to non-HN users, I find they’re a lot more opinionated and less bull-ish than non-tech folks I’ve discussed it with.


Nice illusion of competence on easy conditions…Until it hits a person and Tesla EV performs far worse than the Waymo both during th crash and afterwards PR wise. Guarantee you Elon will throw the driver under the bus for not watching, not his sketchy system.

the driver and the pedestrian both

It’s vaporware and it’s dollars and cents. Tesla EVs are already too expensive. He has no margin to include thousands more on sensors, alternative being the lawsuits that would follow if he admits it was all vaporware.

Since Luddites smashed textile machines in England three hundred years ago, it seems technology didn’t care, it kept growing apace due to capitalism. Money and greed fed the process, we never stood a chance of stopping any of it.

Why is that safe in the medium to long term? If LLMs can code monkey already after just 4 years, why assume in a couple more they can’t talk to the seniors’ direct report and get requirements from them? I’m learning carpentry just in case.


Sort of ironic. My dad coded on hole punch cards and hated it, hated th physicality of that. Now he super loves AI, having left the field 20 years ago due to language fatigue.


Did society actually value those skills before? Maybe companies or individuals did, but giving coded instructions to computers was seen by most as wizardry at best and geeky at worst. Unfortunately, I feel society values tackling and home run hitting, superficial beauty, and wealth, far more than technical skills.
