  • Kevin Rose (original digg founder) and Alexis Ohanian (a.k.a. kn0thing, original reddit founder) did an AMA recently about restarting digg

    (context so people don't have to click links)

  • Especially because it sounds like the Philippines is pushing for a 4 day workweek, but the rest of SEA is asking people to work from home, use less AC, take the stairs…

  • This sounds like you're chastising me for something totally distinct from what I was supporting the request for clarity on.

    I'm not asking or advocating for using AI as a copy editor.

    The post I replied to asked about using Gemini as if it's Wikipedia - that is, saying "according to Gemini" when citing a fact where one might have once wrote "according to Wikipedia" or even "according to Google."

    This is a forum people hang out in part-time. It's nobody's job to go spend an hour researching primary sources to post a comment. Shallow searches and citations are common and often helpful in pointing someone in the right direction. As AI becomes commonplace, a lot of that is being done with AI.

    "Can I have AI write a reply for me?"

    is a very different question than

    "Can I cite an AI search result?"

    This rule change is clear about the former. There's room to clarify the latter.

  • This is how I would use/expect AI to be used in HN. I would also like this clarified.

  • Nice to see you here!

    Was really impressed by your work on Pundle. (It was an amazingly fast HMR dev environment - much like Vite today.) Felt like I was the only one using it, but it was hard to walk away from instant updates.
