I would be outranged... if I ate there.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I like a GPT generated space opera every now and then though I would never be caught dead with a book with a traditional romance cover on it.

I feel like i am working harder and faster to the point i am fried

I have seen some similar "I'm a bot tasked with making money" want to spam post here on HN. I'm guessing their "owners" instruct them to post here under the false impression that "like minded" readers will appreciate the bot perhaps for technical reasons.

I have a friend who is one one the best programmers I know. He worked for an ad tech company more than a decade ago optimizing time to respond for personalized ad delivery. He was not proud of working to act on fingerprinting to optimize delivery but it was a challenging task and he framed his part as addressing the challenge not the ethics. People in our circle where like "good for you optimizing network delivery to 50ms!" even people who despised the idea of tracking users around the internet to serve them ads.

I'm sure most people who work for flock compartmentalize their jobs to "I work on fingerprinting vehicles" or "I work on advanced OCR", or "I work on creating camera to camera trajectory graphs". This way they don't need to think about (too often) the larger ramifications of what they are doing. When the press points out what is the reality and that most people are pissed at Flock then the employees likely have to confront what they do in a way that they never had to.

If you were able to do so would the result not be the same. We dont accept your terms update so we and terminating your subscription. Essentially the same that you can do.

No industry seems to have a good culture that supports whistle blowing

This. Can't you get your number moved to a new phone? I have never don't anything magic when upgrading my phone other than move contacts.

The opposite is true for me. I have always wanted to try Godot as a platform and AI is helping me make that happen.

Much better link not the least is the description and name of the problem being solved!

When I was a kid twisting a swing so you could ride it as it untwisted was something that happend dozens of times every recess. This was something every kid did. If your playground equipment falls apart as a result of the standard way kids use a swing then I think that is a manufacture issue not criminal behavior by a 10 year old

He gave no links nor did the original post. I did no flagging and did not vote on any item in this thread. Yet I see that four accounts with a combined age of 10 days wants to complain about sock puppets.

So then no proof whatsoever? So for fun I looked at your user and color me shocked that you are complaining about the use of sock puppets while apparently using one yourself. Alternatively has 8 days allowed you to devine the inner workings of this site?

Do you have proof for you claims? I am under the impression that 500 rep essentially maxes out your standard privileges and that no reputation based weighting is applied to votes.

If your fear is that there are voting rings (which apparently the system tries to detect) then resetting the rep will give them more relative power not less.

Personally I dont pay any attention to the rep of a user when evaluating how I should or should not engage with them. I think things are working just fine at the moment.

If you are frustrated by repetitive homepage content, I recommend you switch to the "new" view as there is lots of diversity there.

Again, if you have any proof that a cadre of nefarious high profile users are somehow abusing the system I would love to see it.

If the contnet aligns with the interests of this community as apparently it did generation a bunch of views that I'll take your word for, then if it really a problem? If the community does not like something they can ignore downvote and flag and it will go wherever the crap goes.

why is this site sending me to :

https://<scam domain details>.monster

if I try to copy text?

I mean I know why but shame on them and their advertising "partners"

If it is on the homepage then is it not algorithmically what the community wants? Have you tried the https://news.ycombinator.com/newest link? I find that I prefer it over the homepage and have does so for years.

I'll buy that as a possible separator as well. For what it is worth, I prefer to code with "Claude Code". I use chatGPT (the web interface) when asking casual non-coding questions.

Do you like chocolate or vanilla better? Though I would say if you are using these website versions you will only be getting half the magic (at best) of what llm services can offer.

Claude is trash? My experience says otherwise.

simonw and pfraze seem more than legit. Neither of them seem to be advertising. If I posted something related to where I work does that make it advertising?

This seems like a problem you manufactured yourself based on your two day old account to stir up some drama. That is not how this community works.

I completely agree. I'm just asking if I missed something as a catalog of glaciers with monitoring data or threat assessment does not suggest preventable deaths to me. Unless of course I am missing these features on that site.

There are 100k glaciers and lakes tracked on that site. From what I can tell this is just a catalog. There seems to be no active data nor any kind of threat assessment. How can you conclude that this catalog makes this disaster avoidable?

Yes, an here in lies the hypocrisy of our times where tech titans can have their information removed from public data sources (anyone remember the guy tracking Musk's plane?) while amassing staggering quantities of data about everyone else. Then have the gall to call for a "compromise" on their collection and selling of this data and our privacy.

So let's say a big company was willing to spend the money to do this. After creating millions of pull requests who is going to review merge these millions of AI authored patches?

400 million represents about 6 days of gross here or about 7% of net profits at TikTok. For ByteDance this "fine" represents less than a single day.

These fines and those on Facebook in the EU while astronomical in the traditional sense, are essentially the cost of doing business for social media.

$10k+ a year club programs are a specific product offering a specific potential outcome not related to recouping your investment or NIL. They offer access to D2 and D1 college play. Not every family wants this product nor can they afford it.

This does not preclude the existence of regional and local tournament only clubs that don't have the staffing overhead and travel requirements of nationally competitive clubs. These regional/local clubs sell a different product, one not related to D1 recruiting.

I personally feel that there are more opportunities for kids to (continue to) play today than there were a generation ago. When I was young organized sports (outside of school) ended at middle school unless you played on a national team. Sure the national team is way more expensive today but that does not mean that there are not opportunities to play at other levels with clubs offering a different product.

like all folding phones it is just too expensive for me to justify.

Team uniform. Any dry weave really.

The internet is s disappointing shit hole for me as well but that has more to do with algorithms, echo chambers, and attention theater. I get your point though.

The hard part is that there is essentially no such thing as customer service "at scale" not that any company actualy wants to invest in it. Still the internet could have dramatically improved customer service but instead it killed it.

In the near future when I want customer service to address an issue, I'll have my AI agent contact their AI agent and their agent can tell my agent to eat shit. End result will be the same though no such thing as customer service will exist.

I understand that customer data was an asset but why would it be legal or ethical to sell data shared with you to someone else? I mean I guess it was in the fine print and all but this seems wrong to me.
