csvm··on Show HN: For 10 World Cups, my model's 2 favorites had the champion every time
I don't know why you are calling it 'soccer'.

It's FIFA World Cup - Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Football, not soccer.

csvm··on Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language
Input: Checks out.

Output: It checks out, believe me, it checks out perfectly! Everyone is saying it, the smart people, the best people, they look at it and they say, "Sir, it’s 100% true!" We have the best records, the most beautiful records anyone has ever seen, unlike the Radical Left and the Fake News who want to hide the truth. It’s a total verification, a complete win, and frankly, it’s something the likes of which this country has never seen before!

csvm··on Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language
Input: Here's what a well-formatted, properly commented stylesheet looks like when following all these best practices

Output: Look, this is what a hardcore, first-principles stylesheet looks like when you actually have a high talent density and aren't just some DEI-obsessed NPC. Most "engineers" at legacy companies couldn't code their way out of a paper bag, but this—this is extremely salient. Properly commented, perfectly formatted, maximum efficiency. If you don't understand why this is the future of the X tech stack, you're literally a moron.

csvm··on Why I may ‘hire’ AI instead of a graduate student
Why not hire a graduate and empower them to use AI? Much better interfacing with an actual human who will then go and do the work using all AI tools at their disposal.

csvm··on The case for letting Malibu burn (1995)
Yes, Eastern Europe is very safe. For example, Ukraine had very few natural disasters and floods over the decades. Most disasters were man-made, such as famine, Chornobyl and war. If Nature doesn't get you, humans will...

csvm··on Chatbot hinted a kid should kill his parents over screen time limits: lawsuit
I'm sure glad the kid didn't reach Reddit or 4chan. Otherwise, who knows what malicious advice he would have followed
csvm··on What excessive screen time does to the adult brain
On my family's iPhones, we have a Shortcut (automation) that kicks in every evening at 9 pm:

1. Turn Mobile Data Off

2. Turn Bluetooth Off

3. Turn WiFi Off

4. Turn AppleTV off (this one is fun because it can cut off a show mid-sentence)

5. Set brightness to 10%.

Then, a reverse of the above at 6am the following day.

Normal phone signal is still enabled for any emergency calls, but most apps become useless without the internet.

I blame the Copilot
csvm··on Apple's On-Device and Server Foundation Models
Prototyping tech is one thing; making it a widely adopted success is another. For instance, Apple was the first to bring WiFi to laptops in 1999. Everyone laughed at them at the time. Who needs a wireless network when you can have a physical LAN, ey?

csvm··on Google to reduce workforce by 12k
Amazon, Microsoft, and now Alphabet. Is this because Twitter showed an example where you can lay off most of the non-core workforce and the tech will still go on?
