Humans are going to have a stance because they are human. Do you want to wait until there is an unbiased AI that can do journalism or do you want something that's ok now?

Perfect is the enemy of good and all that.

Thank you for reminding me of how important it is to read the full original text.

Quite an interesting short read and I guess a prompt to actually read R.U.R

Rather than saying: "aviation threads on HN" have you considered using the usernames to identify the individuals with negative comments and positive comments and determine whether it's a small number of accounts saying the same thing repeatedly or a large proportion of the users?

They did the equivalent of unit tests but for doctors.... seems sensible

That's an analogy I can work with. Lots of those visualisation methods are not fit for human consumption. And in fact a whole lot of them are just grey blobs that shouldn't be near humans at all.

(just my opinion from a random sampling)

They always look blue to me... maybe it's relative

I have to agree totally with the propaganda and electioneering angle of some aspects news.

But it does feel like there is a lot of "content" that isn't there for that reason and is just included as part of the news for the purpose of distraction. Maybe there's a question of what section of the newspaper/site we are looking at and the type of story in it.

Just focusing on this statement:

> "Democratic control over economics" looks like people voting for more services and lower taxes.

The services part seems clear but "lower taxes" makes me ask what kind of taxes are we talking, income tax, sales tax, corporate tax, capital gains tax, corporate tax credits, import duties, national insurance (UK government health service levy), wealth tax, etc, etc, etc

There are so many taxes and 100 more exceptions and loopholes and so many vested influences pushing for changes that benefit themselves. The current political processes aren't capable of a systematic review and revamp of all of the taxes.

That's really interesting. I observe miscommunication all the time and often feel it's great people just not quite clicking with how they express things.

The beauty of multiple sub-comments is that a 3rd party can put in a side note and allow the original parties to listen or ignore as they feel fit.

Like a lot of cow burps right?

Basically the equivalent of a herd of 7500 cows burping away for a year.

Bad but I'm not sure that 750ton of methane is horribly damaging compared to a billion cows

You've copped some downvotes but I think your first sentence rings true.

I think your second sentence is bullshit because why would any "they" care what "we" feel like. The news industry is built around making money from peoples attention. Like many other things in this world that seem planned it's just the product of business satisfying a human desire.

Many people like being able to see people's eyes when another person is talking to them. And a live image of eyes would be considered better than a sticker.

The face scanning allows the entire face to be shown to other users in the virtual environment. Presumable an image made up of the face scan + the live view of the eyes

My thought here is that if someone is clearly expressing that their brain processes stuff differently to what you feel is normal then it's best to avoid using phrases like, "Your brain is".

I think you've started off great with your comment about respect but rewording some of the sentences after that to clarify that you're talking about neurotypical brains might be better.

I got quite excited once because I thought I recognised Mt Beerburrum in the background of one of the Bluey episodes. I hadn't visited that area in decades.

That's quite an opinion you've put in quote marks there. Such a pity you've not thought about how a hypothetical Bluey episode might cover that topic.

I feel a bit sad about that. Thanks for sharing the link though.

UI only goes to 100 minutes. What if I want to have a really serious sit and think

Curious about the size of the segment on the Venn diagram ...

That article is hilariously waffly. And I almost posted the exact City Hall quote.

The pedant in me wants to point out that the external tank is not "Endeavour's" because the external tanks were not recovered after flights so that one has never been on a mission and could have been a tank for any shuttle mission.

How is this still on the HN front page 10 hours after being posted with the most damning comment thread I've ever seen?

I don't understand your point because humans generate novel output AND memorise and regurgitate source material.

I believe human artists consciously adjust their output to avoid copying previous artists too closely. And sometimes they choose to copy very closely or exactly.

Obviously the same feature can be implemented as an option on generative AI systems.

I assume that should be 6.56 feet or some similar miscalculation converting from metric to imperial measurements

So I can see the logic in treating the inputs to the AI training data sets the same way we treat humans learning something.

A potential downside is that AI systems can 'mechanise' the creation of material that potentially infringes copyright (in the same way that human generated content can infringe)

But a potential upside is that we can 'mechanise' the process by which we judge whether new content infringes the copyright of older material.

This is a very sad example of land movement and it's a tragedy that people have died in the aftermath and recovery effort.

But it's also an important reminder that our super accurate GPS measurements are not 100% reliable over time. The earth moves. Either in jumps like this or fairly constantly if it's somewhere like Australia [0]

I've just reread the article and I'm having trouble finding anything saying that, "Meta is going to imminently collapse".

Can you clarify please?

Good point. 1981 was a very long time ago in IT terms

That is absolutely disgraceful on the part of the accountants and programmers who should have been reconciling the cash vs sales. Over 13 years!

Step 1. Define software engineering in a world of no-code, low-code, and AI code generation.
