>We have given up everything nice that human beings used to make and give to each other and to make it worse, we have also multiplied everything bad, that human being used to give each other..

Source?


Scammers have no shortage of time to communicate with potential victims.

You've clearly never deliberately wasted a scammer's time. This is their livelihood, and I'm pretty sure most are commission only.

It's not even out yet.


>changes the face of the girl

like literally every remake does when the graphics are upgraded?


what does that even mean? Remakes have artists working with original creators to remodel characters in a way that keeps the original art's spirit, failing which they do get the backlash they deserve. This prnified AI filter "touch-up" is not the upgrade you AI evangelists think it is. But keep it coming, I'm sure once we've burned through enough forests we'll reach the desired outcomes.


why are you so negative?


All the repairability in the world is moot if the laptop isn't good enough to sell itself on its other merits. If it turns out to be hot and loud or have poor battery life for example, that's going to steer many to buy elsewhere.


My framework hat tips you. Still drains while “off”.


Probably because this is not repairability, but rather dividing device into smaller not repairable parts that can be replaced by purchasing parts from the manufacturer at inflated cost.


Much worse compared to other laptops where everything is soldered and glued together and you have to throw the whole thing away when something fails


Is there any laptop that you can replace individual pieces of the motherboard? Laptop motherboards are all the same.


With a steady hand and good hot air station you can replace anything you want. Problem is getting the replacement chips.


>Why do software engineers ask for six digit salaries? Because they can get away with it

No you see it's their RIGHT to demand an exorbitant salary – because that's 'what they're worth' and what the market will bear

Unfortunately they're less charitable when the shoe is on the other foot.


Excel integration is amazing, saves me hours a week and helps me write complicated formulas in seconds.


That only good if you're doing measurably more with the time you save. I feel like I'm significantly faster in parts of my job using Copilot, but when I try to get data on what I'm doing now that I wasn't doing before I had it I don't come up with anything. I know I'm working faster, but the time seems to have just gone.


Working faster, but at what?

LLM workflow:

Describing to Claude that I need an edit made in the second paragraph of the third section feels easy, comfortable, and straightforward. I’m using my speech centers, speech to text, and then I wait for a generation during which I hit my phone or Reddit. Poof, the text flies out like magic, taking 20+ seconds, then I re-re-re-read it to make sure the edit was good and nothing was lost in that edit. Oops, the edit inverted the logic of the paragraph, lemme repeat the above… and again… time flies! 2 hours gone in a flash.

Old and boring workflow:

I gruellingly move my mouse to open a file, then take a coffee break. I come back and left-click into the sentence that sucks. I hit Reddit to deal with the anxiety… I think, boo, and then type out the edit I needed. It’s bad, I fix. Coffee break. Squiggly red line from a misspelling? I fix. I google and find a better turn of phrase, copy and paste it in manually with a little edit. Ugh. This sucks. I suck, work sucks. Time sucks. 35 entire minutes of my life has been wasted… time to get another coffee and check Reddit.

Working with an LLM is kinda like working under stage hypnosis. The moment to moment feelings are deceptive and we humans are unreliable recorders of time-usage. Particularly when engaged in unwanted effort.

Google has had all this tech for a minute. Their restrained application and lack of 10x-vibe-chad talk make me think their output measurements are aligned with my measurements.

1 rabbit hole hallucination wrong-turn can eat up a lot, lot, lot of magic one-shotting.

Another post on HN likened it to gambling, in the way that slot machines work. Each time you prompt, you could hit the jackpot! But usually you end up with some mediocre or wrong, so you tweak that prompt and pull the lever again. It's and endless cycle.


What's the problem exactly?


Why does facebook need to know what my launcher is doing?


They've started displaying ads: https://www.reddit.com/r/NovaLauncher/comments/1qhzbws/is_no...

The SDKs are also part of the app even if you paid for it, and there are reports on reddit of paid users seeing ads (that might be a bug, but still).

There's also the privacy side of this. It's not in my interest that my launcher sends data about me to Facebook/Meta.


Spyware?


The homescreen may one day contain ads.


>I find it funny and sad that people get so excited about those Wrapped year-end things on Spotify when these companies are basically withholding all this data all year long and then pretend like it's a special treat when they doll out a peek at it once a year.

Skill issue. you can export your listening history whenever you like.


No desktop app, not using it


HN doesn't have a dedicated desktop app either.


HN isn't part of my daily workflow so I dont care
