but what motivation do people have to create something, that will never been seen/read/listened to, and on top of that will just make the people that take it richer while providing no credit back?

you are just working for free so other people can get rich off your work.

I'm sure this has been talked about somewhere, so feel free to just leave the link. But in an internet where people just go to one of these chatbots for all their answers/searches, why would anyone continue to post content to the internet? It seems at some point you would just be working for free as a content creator for all of these companies. Nothing you post would be linked to, you would never be cited as the source of the information, and you wouldn't even know if anyone even saw anything you wrote.

have you seen the comments in this thread? I think mine actually was actually pretty good.

I was serious, are there any tech news sites out there?

is this post just some passive aggressive dig at getting vaccinated?

unrelated to whatever content was on that page, but for some reason I just don't trust websites that fade the text in; I also dislike pages like blogger.com that have a "loading page" intro to every site.

Just feels dirty or something.

I wish I could upvote da39a3ee's comment 100 more times. I hate condescending know it all people, and da39a3ee stated this way more eloquently then I would have.

GPT3, write me a story about someone that posts something about Tesla on Twitter and people getting angry about it:

Tesla is one of the most innovative companies in the world and its products are loved by many. However, not everyone is a fan of Tesla. Some people think that Tesla is overpriced and that its products are not worth the money.

These people took to Twitter to express their anger at Tesla. They said that Tesla was a ripoff and that its products were overpriced. They said that Tesla was taking advantage of its customers and that it was not a good company.

Some people defended Tesla and said that its products were worth the price. They said that Tesla was a great company and that its products were the best on the market. They said that Tesla was changing the world and that it was a great company to support.

At the end of the day, everyone has their own opinion about Tesla. Some people love it and some people hate it.

$0.50 so it doesn't matter unless you spam a bunch of people.

I'm also using a 5 year old Iphone 8 from 2017, works fine, just replaced the battery this year. So I guess buy an Iphone and avoid android phones based on what you've found.

GPT3 write me an article about NSA's Warrantless Wiretaps in a format to get people angry:

The NSA's warrantless wiretapping program is a blatant violation of our privacy rights. The program allows the NSA to collect the communications of Americans without a warrant, and without any suspicion of wrongdoing.

This program is a direct assault on our Fourth Amendment rights, and it must be stopped.

The NSA claims that the program is needed to fight terrorism, but there is no evidence that it has actually done so. In fact, the program has been repeatedly ruled to be illegal by federal courts.

It is time for Congress to step in and put an end to this program. We cannot allow the NSA to continue to violate our constitutional rights.

gpt3 give me speculation on weather in California, make it sound scary:

The weather in California is getting increasingly unpredictable and dangerous. The state is experiencing more extreme weather patterns, with more droughts and more intense storms. This is causing major problems for Californians, who are struggling to adapt to the changing conditions.

gpt3, write an articles about why people shouldn't work from home:

Although working from home has its perks, there are several reasons why it’s not the best idea. First, working from home can be very isolating. You can miss out on important office camaraderie and water cooler talk. Second, it can be difficult to stay focused when you’re working in your PJs. Without a set schedule or routine, it’s easy to get sidetracked by laundry, dishes, and other household chores. Third, working from home can make it harder to “switch off” at the end of the day. When your work and home life are in the same place, it can be hard to leave work at the office. Lastly, working from home can put a strain on your personal relationships. If you’re constantly working, your partner or family can start to feel like they’re taking a backseat to your job.

I stopped reading the article at that point; figuring the rest of the article was also made up by gpt3.

What about just charging $X per email sent, and if the other person doesn't mark it as spam you get your $X back.

when you get an email from someone on the list, randomly forward it to another person on the list.

Follow interesting people like https://twitter.com/beesandbombs and try to replicate the stuff you like. Avoid Reddit as most of the work isn't worth the time scrolling through due to bad moderation of all the groups, and avoid any artist that talks about NFTs; their work is usually low quality repetitive garbage and they spend most of the time going off about who just bought their latest random assortment of rectangles.

I dislike twitter, and the only reason I have an account is so feedbin can pull in the latest work of a lot of all the creative coders; seems like that's pretty much where they all post (if not on their personal websites)

Look for the people that do it just because they like doing it, and then copy what they do until you start having your own ideas. Even if your copy is crap, you still learned a lot doing it, and the next time you do something it'll be a little better and you'll know a little more.

that does help, thanks!

I would love to see a site where people posted stuff they have been doing for over a year and it still works for them.

Seems like all these blog posts are, "I Started doing this yesterday, and I'm going to do it for the rest of my life... or tomorrow when I blog my next big thing I'm going to do forever."

I'm more interested in stuff people have stuck with and actually works for them when the novelty of the medium wears off.

I'm not saying pen and paper isn't great, but I'm more interested in the system that evolves if you actually use something over a long period of time.

Seems only slightly more intelligent than Eliza from the "conversation" I had with it.

Every Tech book I've looked at in the past few month has reviews of people showing their counterfeit books they have received. I'm not sure why you are defending Amazon's practice of letting this go on.

The first book on that list has comments showing off the counterfeit book that the people have gotten!

Reviews on Clean code: This books is a fake. Don't buy it. Look at the images I posted.

Reviews On Mythical Man: ordered new book, got something that was used and marked up and Great book, terrible terrible print and binding quality (which I assume is just a counterfeit)

Reviews On Algorithms: Beware of counterfeits; do not buy from Amazon!

I'm not going through the entire list, but most of the tech books are all fakes.

Also, amazon sells lots of counterfeit books now, so the author of the site makes money off these books but the people that actually write the books probably don't:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32210256

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32287936

- and just reading the reviews on the books of everyone saying they are getting counterfeit books.

The author could link to a book seller that actually sells the real book, but then I guess they wouldn't get their kickback.

(updated post to appease people that would rather get next day shipping than support the authors of the books.)

it works exactly like the startup culture which I think is a big thing with Ycombinator? You don't create your startup for free; you pay money to get it running. You have to take a risk if you think your idea is worth it. No risk no payout (karma)

Also, I'm running negative karma on this comment already because I posted what I thought was an interesting idea, and instead of just useful/interesting comments, ziddoap for example and the other people that replied, It just got voted down. So Based on that I'd say hacker news is already using this model for comments, they just need to move it to submissions.

It's kind of weird, each downvote on this post, is actually a vote for this model.

Seems like most "news" on HN has gone down hill in favor of a stream of constantly updating news. I've been thinking that HN should update their algorithm to punish people that post links that don't get comments; so you are incentivized to only post a link if you think it'll actually be interesting. Maybe just give -100 karma for every link you post, and then you get karma back based on the percentage of points in comments on the post.

I've also notice the number of duplicate/triplicate+++ submissions seems to be increasing also. Guess no one has time to check if the story has already been added. This would also be fixed by giving an initial -100 points per post.

This confused me in many ways; 1) why did someone submit a site that was mostly broken and really didn't show what pop-11 was or looked like, and 2) why did it trend to the front page at all?

Why do people on this site keep pushing sites that are just broken. I really wish there was an automatic down-voting of people that submit sites that are broken, pay-walled, or break the browser in some new and fun way.

I'm pretty sure cat is still the best option for 99% of all shell scripts that need to read a file and do something with it.

what do you actually want to do? I have https://github.com/coder/code-server and https://jupyter.org/hub running on a PI, along with tailscale on the ipad and pi. This allows the IPAD to have a full editor, and a shell onto the pi.

why would you stop using cat or dd? I use cat everyday, what am I supposed to replace it with?

what replaces dd?

You'll be able to tell when it really clicks for them when they end up removing xmonad from their machines replacing it with i3.

TLDR: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I couldn't make it through the entire article.
