Re:How GPT‑5.6 Sol helps run quantum computing experiments on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @07:18AM (#49624598)
Every time I open one of the multiple daily posts about Anthropic or OpenAI and read the comments, I get this weird feeling.

Astroturfing is obviously common in political spaces, whether to normalize certain views, manufacture consensus, or shift public opinion. It seems to me that HN would be a prime target for tech companies to do the same thing, and lately I can't shake the impression that there's a lot of it going on here.

This site might be dying.

Re:A Note from LWN on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @10:28AM (#49536821)
Are there more things like LWN for other fields/subjects? A math LWN of sorts, for example? I would happily pay for it too if it follows this model.

Tell HN: I Bought a Pocket Notebook

I realized I was using taskwarrior, joplin and habitica. All for different stuff.It ends today, I bought a pocket notebook, a page is a day. Formats and ways to go about documenting things will be mine to create. I feel better already.

Re:The Rise of the Em-Dash in Hacker News Comments on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @07:14PM (#47786574)
I don't comment much but I have read everything that Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, and because of him, have always used em-dashes on my writing. I think I even saw some memes in circles that discuss his work when people started realizing GPT used them a lot...
Re:Miscellanea: The War in Iran on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @01:30PM (#47520524)
> That said, this post is going to be unavoidably ‘political,’ because as a citizen of the United States, commenting on the war means making a statement about the President who unilaterally and illegally launched it without much public debate and without consulting Congress. And this war is dumb as hell.

Proceeds to not mention the Epstein files at all. No comment here mentions it either.

All that mess and all those deep connections that were unraveling... I’m not a US citizen, but has that already been forgotten? Do people not consider that they might be relevant in some way to this situation? Or is raising that possibility now generally viewed as a conspiracy theory?

Re:Python 3.14 Is Here. How Fast Is It? on Thursday October 09, 2025 @08:10PM (#45534304)
Is fold comment a option based on karma or something? I loved the most voted post here on how Miguel helped the guy but, it is unrelated and for the first time I guess I realized there is no fold so I can go to people actually talking about the article...

Re:Stop Using Discord on Friday May 31, 2024 @09:27AM (#40534856)
They won't stop using it. It's simple as that. Should'nt we be doing something to scrape discord servers, push information to a acessible place instead of this? Is that doable?
Re:Virtual Pinhead on Monday April 01, 2024 @06:05PM (#39899954)
I've been wanting to do this since forever, pinball arcade on mobile was my introduction to the real world of pinball after many years of playing space cadet on windows XP. Loved reading your post, will check for the next parts and hopefully this time I start my own too.
Re:20 years ago Far Cry was released on Saturday March 30, 2024 @08:38AM (#39874264)
Just reading the title unlocked memories for me. Far cry came out in my life at the peak of local competitive counter strike, 1.6 at the time... CS was everything to me at that point and I hated the people coming to the lan house to play far cry instead of being on the cs servers... I remember it looking great tho I never played it.

Re:Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse on Thursday June 01, 2023 @04:16PM (#36156769)
I have been using keynav (https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav) for convenience for a while now, but still pick the mouse up for selecting text outside of the terminal since dragging is bugged.
Re:Pelé, the Global Face of Soccer, Dies at 82 on Thursday December 29, 2022 @03:31PM (#34177545)
As a brazilian football fanatic, who grew with my dad and uncle who are equally fanatics, the "greatest of all time" or "that I have seen" conversation has happened my entire life. For that reason, Pelé is one the human beings I most talked about. It is also surely the football player who stopped before I was even born that I most watched, from entire games I was able to find to movies to clips... just so I could have a better argument at the table with the grown ups... Sad day, RIP.

Learned a lot from this fighting game community creator, Core-A gaming, video about community, and even tho I can't say it changed my life, it did change the way I see a couple of things forever.
