deepserket··on Wirth's Revenge
> It doesn’t matter what’s technically possible- in fact, a computer that works too fast might be viewed as suspicious. Taking a while to give a result is a kind of proof of work.

In recent times I found myself falling for this preconception when a LLM starts to spit text just a couple of seconds after a complex request.

4: It was your fault;

Right after the IT-alert the quality of my mobile internet connection plummeted for almost an hour, my ping from Italy to Netherlands was between 100 and 600ms (usually it's 30-55ms).

My guess is that some people weren't aware of the test and started calling their relatives asking questions.

deepserket··on Ask HN: Why does HN require tiny baby fingers to operate on a phone?
Accounts with low karma are limited.

Ideally this should solve the "mass downvoting to impose your pet echo chamber" problem that can happen in other online communities.

With the ongoing fall of reddit if I were an admin i would propose a limit based on account age, in order to not shift the common etiquette suddenly.

What
deepserket··on Louis Rossmann calls community to leave Reddit
He found a video format that gets him views and attention.

I love him for the right to repair and his troubleshooting lives are interesting, but I've stopped watching most of his videos because the format of "dude films himself while reading an article " is really boring and a waste of time.

deepserket··on Meta preps new social app
