Absolutely. That's when I use my dang-given right to flag left and right. Or if that doesn't work, ignore. I don't think I've entered any Grok thread in ages. But I also can't say that I've seen a ton of them, so maybe the ecosystem is working?
The flagged comments given as examples are exactly the type I don't want to see here. Not because they are wrong (they are not), but because they are boring, low-calorie declarations of obvious that add very little value to the topic at hand. It's like every mention of an iPhone got a comment about poor conditions of Chinese assembly workers. These, and the Musk rants, absolutely belong on threads about those topics, but let's not turn every thread into a holy war - you're just pushing people that already agree with you away.
For the record, I vouched for this thread to keep it from being flagged, but that didn't seem enough. I think it's an interesting discussion.
Yes and yes. I've so far switched from Sol to Terra but not sure even that will be sufficient. This also feels like it neuters a lot of the utility of banked/paid resets, since I'm not willing to re-up the weekly limit when I'm at 50% or whatever, but can no longer use it after hitting the 5h limit.
Have you had to deal with a microservices environment? Because there's significantly more operational and architectural complexity with a distributed system compared to a monolith. Now you have to deal with reliability, retries/backoffs, versions, distributed transactions, consistency issues, service discovery, idempotency, and a million other things. I would generally not recommend adding all this overhead unless absolutely necessary. Or at least that was the recommendation pre-AI, but I don't think I've changed my mind on it yet.
To answer a couple of questions that are likely to pop up:
Is there an ATS integration?
Not at the moment, but once value is proven, ATS integration is for sure the first natural step. In the meantime, adding this to an existing job listing couldn't be easier. Simply include the verification link in your application instructions to get started. Then look up applicants by email to see whether they've been verified. This does mean that filtering spam is the primary benefit today, but a proper ATS hookup can help stop it at the source in the future.
What’s your stance on data privacy/security?
Liveness data is only visible to the hiring company, with time-limited access. The data is stored on AWS using managed services, with all sorts of best practices (that I can get into if needed). I've done technical due diligence for work the last few years, so very familiar with what good and bad look like re: data and privacy.
Here's a recent similar thread that got a lot of traction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47654062. I posted about my hobby of banknote collection on there, so won't repeat here.
Looks like the verification link above is not sufficiently open for testing, and the email address box was pushing people away - that's fair! Now you can use any @example.com email address and it will take you straight to the liveness check, skipping email verification for demo purposes.
AI resume spam has absolutely ruined hiring. I've seen countless stories of hiring managers complaining about receiving thousands of resumes within an hour of opening up a new job listing. Likewise, good qualified candidates are getting drowned out by loads of customized junk. I'm building a tool for the recruiters and hiring teams to combat this and bring some sanity back to the already challenging process. The general idea is to introduce a small bit of friction that will hopefully be not-too-impacting for legit applicants while stopping bots from proceeding.
First iteration is ready to fly, just working out the infrastructure at the moment. Hoping to drop this on Show HN soon. If anyone is interested in test driving this prior to launch, I've temporarily added my email to my profile.
The banked resets have been a game changer for me. I've been sticking to 5.4 medium mostly because 5.5 seemed to eat into my quota significantly faster. The reset bank gave me confidence to seriously start using 5.5 high. Lo and behold, I have yet to actually need a reset, but I'm now less likely to explore non-OpenAI models since there's an escape hatch with new models in case a coding session gets a bit crazy.
I don't think we can conclusively say anything like that. Sure, a bunch of modern art is... odd, but that's more to do with the world generally being more ok with experimentation, and there's plenty of more classical work happening around the globe, even if it doesn't get the same recognition as various "clickbait", if you will. For instance, the bronze work of Luo Li Rong channels the art of the past pretty well, I'd say. https://mymodernmet.com/realistic-sculptures-luo-li-rong/
You'd be taking on a founder's risk without a founder's title. If this was an offer to come in as a CTO co-founder in an equal, or close to it, partnership, that would be worth a consideration at least (though I'll be honest, at 2.5 YOE at big tech, you're not exactly the ideal candidate for that role). Given the actual offer, it's mostly downsides as far as I see it.
Same experience calling a dental office recently. The voice on the other side introduced itself by name and had this uncanny valley quality where I wasn't quite 100% sure it was a bot and felt weird asking it outright. Made for an awkward conversation. Once it became clear that I was, in fact, talking to AI, I quickly wrapped it up but came away feeling quite negative about the experience. It's not even that it gave bad responses, but pretending to be a human is a step too far.
Absolutely. Yahoo started out as directories, long before it added a search engine. They were a much better way to discover new corners of the internet (sorta like looking at a list of subreddits today). Web rings was another one. Internet was new, so it was always fun to surprise yourself with something different. Search engines were crap and would normally be used to look for something specific rather than discovery, which I guess hasn't changed.
Promotion culture at work, aka if I ship a feature and no one is using it, did I even drive measurable impact? Mix that with a healthy dose of fear for one's job with senior management pushing for "AI or bust" and you get these outcomes. Today it's AI non-features crowding out useful functionality, yesterday it was Google+, before it was Google Buzz, etc etc. This too shall pass (unless it truly is different this time).

It's been about 30 years since I've read The Iliad, but I remember that chapter as the worst part of the book. Just pages upon pages of names and where they came from. I wonder what significance it held for the buried individual to have been specifically included so.
I'm not sure what the point of this exercise is. My prompt to ChatGPT: "Create a new English word with a reasonably sounding definition. That word must not come up in a Google search." Two attempts did come up in a search, the third was "Thaleniq (noun)". Definition: The brief feeling that a conversation has permanently changed your opinion of someone, even if nothing dramatic was said. Nothing in Google. There, a new word, not sure it proves or disproves anything. Or is it time to move the goal posts?
The more experienced Tailwind proponents probably have better things to do than get dragged into yet another online flamewar :) I've done tons of CSS since the 90s before looking into Tailwind. After it clicked, I've mostly tried to avoid raw CSS. In a sense, you exchange one mess for another. Personally, I'd rather deal with a localized class soup than trying to make sense of overlapping, often contradictory, cascades of styles across multiple files. Both can be implemented cleanly, but I'd much rather clean up a Tailwind mess than a CSS one. And I find the development process much more enjoyable overall.
Just saw this for the first time. How someone can show up on a major network like this is beyond my understanding. Literally couldn't answer where the money would come from.
I'm guessing one of those agents wrote this post as well? The LinkedIn broetry style is so jarring, I had to quit after a few paragraphs. Probably still spent more effort on reading than the author on generating this.
I always assumed that newer banknotes are always going to be easier to obtain than older ones. But the hyperinflation of late imperial, early Soviet times means a ton of paper money was printed and is still available at cheap prices. On the other hand, Soviet money from between 1922 and before 1961 can be quite rare and sometimes very very expensive.
I haven't really had a hobby until last summer, when I took up collecting banknotes. Growing up in the USSR, I had a few imperial notes as a kid and wanted to expand my "collection", but didn't actually start in earnest until decades later. Got a few late 19th / early 20th century pre-revolution notes, and then found myself in the abyss of Russian Civil War, where every city and local municipality were printing their own money. Anyways, it's a journey without an end, and I saw an interviewee describing this hobby as a "sickness, do not start", which sort of resonated.
As a history lover with appreciation for tactile aspects of history (love 100+ year old books), this scratches this itch better than anything else, while leaving me wanting more. I research and write up every banknote I acquire, and the sense of history I get from browsing my album is like nothing else.
For anyone interested, here are the photos of my collection circa end of last year: https://imgur.com/a/zmCXd8l
