cfcfcf··on Many SWE-bench-Passing PRs would not be merged
I agree, I think this is AI, especially based on 1 and 2. It's hard to put your finger on, and I don't know if we can know for sure. It reminds me of the writing style you see on LinkedIn i.e. seemingly optimised for engagement.

If they're not already, I wonder if LLMs will get better at disguising this (avoiding the tells, inserting mistakes etc.)

I also wonder if there comes a point where we as a culture imitate this style.

cfcfcf··on Show HN: CineCLI – Browse and torrent movies directly from your terminal
Perhaps consider a public domain film for the demo?

cfcfcf··on Sony PlayStation 2 fixing frenzy
And inverted the Y-Axis too, which I still do today thanks to this game, I think.
cfcfcf··on Omnivore Is Shutting Down
I agree. I'm intrigued by the self-hosted option. But it is unclear whether the iOS and Android clients will stick around to consume the saved data.
cfcfcf··on Show HN: Bike route planner that follows almost only official bike trails
Cool project, best of luck! Agree with the other commenter that some kind of error handling or warning re: outside-of-EU availability.
cfcfcf··on Show HN: Store and render ASCII diagrams in Obsidian
Nice. As a side note, I find that Claude 3.5 Sonnet is pretty good at drawing similar ASCII diagrams from prompts.
cfcfcf··on Marine pilot loses command after ejecting from F-35B that kept flying
It being dysfunctional is a convenient stick for this crowd to beat it with, but I wouldn't discount the issues. The U.S.'s allies aren't exactly thrilled with it.
cfcfcf··on Minifying HTML for GPT-4o: Remove all the HTML tags
I’m curious. Scraping seems to come up a lot lately. What is everyone scraping? And why?
cfcfcf··on Eric Schmidt Says Google Is Falling Behind on AI–and Remote Work Is Why
There might be some truth to this, but under Ballmer's leadership, Microsoft's inflexibility re: the use of competing hardware came with its own problems. Since Nadella relaxed this policy, it's unclear to me whether you could say HW quality is worse. In any case, the significance of this policy may be overstated one way or the other.
cfcfcf··on GitHub Copilot Workspace: Technical Preview
Out of interest, what kind of cost ranges are you seeing users spend on the OpenAI API using Plandex? (if only anecdotally)
cfcfcf··on Show HN: Reor – An AI note-taking app that runs models locally
Seconded. I like this idea but wouldn't want to trade the Obsidian UI. Would love to see something like this as a plugin.
cfcfcf··on Spacedrive – an open source cross-platform file explorer
I don't see any mention of Rust on their website as a feature. As far as the readme goes, it seems like a relevant detail to include for an open source project?
cfcfcf··on Figma makes 200 fixes and improvements to Dev Mode
> In 2024, Dev Mode will be included in all editor seats or can be purchased separately for $25 per seat/month on Organization, and $35 per seat/month on Enterprise.

cfcfcf··on (next Rich)
A lot of people have mentioned Rich's inspiring talks over the years. Any particular videos folks would like to share?
cfcfcf··on Windows 9x and Word 9x at 800x600 resolution. Spacious. Comfy
A fairer comparison would show Word 9x on a 4K, high-DPI monitor, which would be very difficult to read.
cfcfcf··on A Japanese factory that designs clothes on a 40-year-old computer [video]
If you enjoy this type of slow film making, this genre of “a day in the life” of Japanese kitchens I find quite meditative and inspiring.

cfcfcf··on Australian Government Style Manual
Your argument rests on the assumption that the serial comma is demonstrably preferable, that it is foolish not to use it in all cases. It is possible that the authors of this advice are better placed to asses whether their audience is comfortable with nuance and context. It is how Australians learn to read and write.
cfcfcf··on Australian Government Style Manual
Did you read this? It says minimize usage.
cfcfcf··on Bard now open to use
I’d love to hear more about how you do this!
cfcfcf··on Fullscreen apps above the MacBook notch
I find the notch distracting and have found this app helpful to "hide" it.

cfcfcf··on Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?
Example of these isms?
cfcfcf··on Are Modern Bicycles the End of DIY Maintenance?
I don't know. There have always been custom headsets, and they can be replaced pretty easily if not like for like. I personally find modern bikes easier to maintain. It's good to be aware of specialist parts but even Shimano hardware can be hard to source sometimes.
cfcfcf··on Ask HN: Are you cutting back on subscription services?
Can you expand on this? Which OSS tools replaced which SaaS and how long did it take you to do this?
cfcfcf··on I think the GNOME designers are incompetent
The author is mistaking the designers' competency with his own personal taste. I've never used the features he mentioned. I like GNOME 42, for what it's worth.
cfcfcf··on The dissolution of Apple’s legacy design team
Right, like bimonthly and biweekly.
cfcfcf··on Microsoft will include pay ranges in all U.S. job postings
Do you reveal your current salary? Or give a ballpark?
cfcfcf··on Seattle Telecommunications History Museum
It’s in an unassuming brutalist building in industrial Georgetown. I sense they like keeping a low profile because it gives them more time to tinker. A really unique experience with some rare equipment, a lot of it you can still use. Wonderful volunteers, highly recommended!
cfcfcf··on Don't forget Microsoft
For what it’s worth, Loop[0] is an experimental Notion compete that seems to be targeting its demographics.

cfcfcf··on Terms of Service: Monitoring and Anti-Cheat
I played Valorant for a month until I was banned for no reason. They said it was for running unauthorized software but they wouldn't say which. No recourse.
cfcfcf··on Octopuses, crabs and lobsters to be recognised as sentient beings under UK law
Is the American pronunciation of “processes” (as in, rhymes with bees) also a hypercorrection?
