- >but because the genie, used well, accelerates learning.
This is "the kids will use the AI to learn and understand" level of cope
no, the kids will copy and paste the solution then go back to their preferred dopamine dispenser
- Ok, let's ignore HN for now. How about HN user data processing by Y Combinator startups?
- >American tech companies have been pushing the needle on privacy ever since Google. Then Facebook. They've gradually normalised that privacy does not exist, all for their own capital gain.
Great subthread to remind that your HN data (comments and maybe more) is shared and licensed with all Y Combinator startups. It's also impossible to delete your own data, either on HN or data shared with the Y Combinator startups (except by some 'beware of the leopard' email procedure).
This is not being made clear when registering a new account.
- ever seen a meme being ran into ground by overexposure? ever heard a song on the radio one too many times?
it's like that
- Can you confirm you have sought legal advice on whether the policy of not deleting user data on HN is compliant with GDPR and whether is indeed compliant (or not)?
- >Camus talked about imagining Sisyphus happy. Maybe the point now is to take away the rock and see what he does when he’s no longer condemned to push it. Does he climb the mountain just for the view? Does he build an observatory? Does he lie in the grass and finally sleep?
Removing jobs is not like taking away the rock, it's more like making the rock way heavier.
Only God can make the rock disappear. And God is dead.
- By sheer chance, there's now a HN submission that answers both (but mostly the second) questions PERFECTLY:
- The post is clearly about something else than preserving https://www.spacejam.com/1996/
It seems to me the post is about how Claude fails to recreate a very simple website from 1996.
- >which is something OP can manually fix
what if the LLM gets something wrong that the operator (a junior dev perhaps) doesn't even know it's wrong? that's the main issue: if it fails here, it will fail with other things, in not such obvious ways.
- [ On second thoughts, retracted ]
- [flagged]
- I'm very sorry, no, I'm too afraid to leak something.
- Offtopic.
Want to see something cool?
Run the following prompt through your favorite LLM:
"Does the following comment make logical sense:
<insert OP comment above>"
The model will agree the argument is valid, logical and coherent (chatgpt, claude and gemini 3 pro all agreed).
THEN
run this prompt:
"let's not be too hasty here.
we have "the term of copyright protection is quite long; but the amount of works [...is large enough...]"
p1: the term of copyright protection is quite long
p2: the amount of works [...is large enough...]
it doesn't seem to me that p1 and p2 are logically connected. As an absurd case: if the amount of works in the public domain gets large enough, would that mean that evern larger (infinite) terms of copyright protection are ok?"
Enjoy!
- I'm not sure what the argument is here.
That because there's a large corpus of public domain works, then the long copyright protection is ok? That people want a short copyright protection because they're done with everything in the public domain?
Would that also imply that if the number of public domain works gets large enough, then the duration copyright protections should also increase?
- Not sure why the amount of works in the public domain has any relevance to how long copyright protection is. Seems to me like they're two orthogonal issues.
- Show your work, please
- Fair enough, it also takes self-reflection, empathy, social consciousness...
- The terms of contract are easy, it's the stuff here: https://www.ycombinator.com/legal/
The law? I don't know, copyright law I guess?
- >I'd make the argument that most people can become millionaires.
That's absolutely false, but it takes living in poverty, understanding what being poor means, to know why it's false.
AI, on the other hand...
