arkitaip··on ChatGPT is a ‘code red’ for Google’s search business
It's totally predictable that big behemoths like Google can't innovate with the same velocity and focus as more nimble orgs like OpenAI. Even in its current panic mode, Google won't be able to compete against OpenAI and other competitors.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Why is Tesla stock dropping? Meta?
When Musk attacks "liberals" and "leftists" he is attacking many of his potential customers. He is also very loud about his right-wing politics and has become so divisive that people don't want to be associated with the Tesla brand.
arkitaip··on Tell HN: Two YC companies in a row hired and then didn't take me on
Does it work well if two YC companies failed OP in the same manner?
arkitaip··on Freeform: a new app designed for creative collaboration
Apple's approach to collaboration is particularly embarrassing when you have tools like Figma that enable teams to work seamlessly across devices and platforms.
arkitaip··on WPF will be community run project
Never heard of Avalonia before but Win development is a solved problem in the form of Electron. No, seriously. Microsoft's own frameworks are in various states of limbo and increasingly confusing to get started with.
arkitaip··on Twitter Office Supply Auction
Apologies I forgot about those people, who really are in a vulnerable position.
arkitaip··on Twitter Office Supply Auction
Musk doesn't seem to believe in this version of Twitter and therefore has no issues dismantling it. There's still lots of damage done to Twitter the employer but I don't think it matters in the long run: there are always suckers who are willing to work for despotic leaders.
arkitaip··on Stack Overflow questions are being flooded with answers from ChatGPT
To find out if a response was made by a computer, look for repeating words or long sentences. ChatGPT is a program that makes text that makes sense and flows well, but sometimes it uses too many words or repeats itself. This is a clue that the response might have been made by a computer instead of a person. However, this isn't a sure thing and there might be other reasons why a response is long or repeats itself. Still, it's a good place to start.

[After many attempts]

arkitaip··on Stack Overflow questions are being flooded with answers from ChatGPT
You can kinda tell it's ChatGPT by how verbose and repetitive the writing is.
arkitaip··on Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
I can't tell the difference between the two of you, other than you seem very confident in your abilities and that ChatGPT is more humble...
arkitaip··on Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
This level of word salad will be more than enough in most cases. Give it another few years and I can see how this type of AI permeates all aspects of life in the same way code has.
arkitaip··on Why Figma Is Selling to Adobe for $20B, with CEO Dylan Field
Figma could have grown to become more valuable than Adobe but when your leadership is short-sighted and inexperienced sad shit like this happens.
arkitaip··on What are the best ways to organically get first users?
Really depend son product and tour audience. Otherwise, just about any one would do - family, friends, colleagues - during the early days for usability testing.
arkitaip··on Notes against note-taking systems
We need to have a conversation about how most of these tools are about coping with anxiety, stress and information hoarding rather than handling complex work. I sometimes mess around Trello more than I do real work but at least I've stopped introducing new tools into my life.
arkitaip··on Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?
Microsoft absolutely dominates corporate IT. Their Office 360 delivers to much values at a low cost that the corps suffer from mediocre MS products because it's all there through a single subscription.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: What is your cloud strategy vis-à-vis Google Cloud?
> Google wants its cloud group to outrank those of one or both of its two main rivals by 2023, said people with knowledge of the matter.

Anyone else who suspects that management set this arbitrary and impossible goal as a parallel construction to close down GCP?

arkitaip··on What Figma plans to do inside Adobe
You would essentially have to offer the entire tech stack for that to work. Like all of them. Like every lang, framework and library there is.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: Why haven't we seen a new email service?
The days of major distributed protocols like email is pretty much over. Once research orgs were replaced by corporations as the main force of Innovation, everything became a race to establish the next monopoly. If email was invented by, say, Google today it would be available through half a dozen of mediocre products with little to no industry support.
arkitaip··on Why does a librarian own MetaFilter?
Jessamyn is amazing and I'm thrilled she's back running things at Mefi.
arkitaip··on Figma vs. Adobe XD
Shit I've ever thought about until now but I wonder how Adobe will cripple Figma to stop if from competing with their other products. I know tons of designers who do illustrations and simpler en graphics in Figma.
arkitaip··on Figma vs. Adobe XD
It's also trivial to create mockups that never finish loading in the share view. Still the best design collab tool, though.
arkitaip··on Serge Daney on Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979)
That's even worse because it implies that the Vietnamese problem mattered so little, that they were backdrop details.
arkitaip··on Can the American mall survive?
They are probably right about the optics. Who would want to take, say, craft classes inside a dying building symbolizing the cons of modern life.
arkitaip··on Apple’s next big thing: A business model change
I hope they go down that route and get utterly demolished by the courts for disabling the competition in favor of their own ad network.
arkitaip··on Use plain-text email
Italics have been part of literature for hundreds of years, pretty sure you can manage to read an email or two with italics in them.
arkitaip··on Ask HN: How do I/you prep for the energy crisis in EU?
At least have the decency to not pretend that you actually care about the Palestinians or any other group of people suffering under oppression.
arkitaip··on Was Vincent van Gogh color blind? (2012)
Wait til you hear that Van Gogh is actually the person we know as William Shakespeare...
arkitaip··on Want to found a startup? Work at one first
Most people want those things. The HN bubble just makes it seem like doing a startup is the apex accomplishment in life.
arkitaip··on Google cracks down on VPN based adblockers
Firefox has the builtin reader mode but there is also plugins that auto click or hide cookie banners.
arkitaip··on The obsessive pleasures of mechanical-keyboard tinkerers
They have probably all gone deaf...
