I had the same question about dropping HN earlier this week, and it's entirely from the the AI overflow (most of it low quality, IMO). For now, I've decided to be the change so instead I flag and hide.

Banning new/green account from submitting would probably help. /ask is full of green How do I AI? posts.


Based on the old soviet joke, the first time you blame it on your predecessor, the second time you blame it on your advisors, the third time you write 3 letters. Since Kristi Noem was fired yesterday, maybe we've moved into the second letter phase.

I figured there had to be some story behind this reference, and I found this "two letters" version on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ussr/comments/1n7dips/soviet_joke_t...

Do you have a "three letter" reference?


That's the reference but I've always heard it as 3 envelopes:

1. blame your predecessor

2. blame your staff

3. write 3 letters...

Legend tells of the old ones, who learned the magic stack overflow copy-pasta incantations, at a two-week coding bootcamp.

q is like k and has single precision floats.

q is closed source so it isn't really viable to build anything out of it unfortunately. I wonder how they made floats work since it is based on k.

It's a honey pot for low quality llm slop.

You can't spell plagiarism without AI. Twice.

    alias sandbox-no-network='sandbox-exec -p "(version 1)(allow default)(deny network*)"'

pro-tip on alias:

for sh-compliant shells, including a whitespace at the end of the alias string causes the next token to also go through alias expansion. (maybe it would also be a hint to the shell for tab completion as well). This is a perfect example of when, where, and why you would want to do that.


I have a theory about facebook (and youtube!) showing absolute garbage recommendations.

Somewhere, there's an algorithm designed to increase engagement. And it doesn't care what kind of engagement, so clicking the "I'm not interested in this garbage" button is just as engaging as liking or watching or commenting.


Do you have GI? Does it makes sense for you to use a subagent?

Anyhow, a solar-powered calculator (cost: approximately $0) gives a more reliable and more efficient answer than $100 billion and 100GW of AI.
