He's trying to sell the importance of LLMs and the need for data centers to his diminishing base - at the behest of his billionaire handlers and foreign investors. The (mis)use of words as a propaganda tool are at the core of this regime.

I just wanted to add a little additional information to the fantastic profile you built. All 7 of your core points were 100% accurate (for me). Wow! I feel like someone has been looking over my shoulder.

One flip, not three: The moment I realized that wasn't an option in the posted game, I closed the tab.

> People WANT the score.

This was a little vague. If you mean Win-Loss... Yes, I really need to see this. If you mean elapsed time, points... no. That type of detailed scoring increases the stress in the game. Otherwise, everything else in your profile was accurate (for me).

> people who play this game have bad eyesight on average.

Also true (for me). LOL

> Showing cards left in the pile

That would make a fantastic tweak.

btw, the only Android Solitaire game I can play because I can configure it to fulfill all the 7 points above (including no sound) is called 'Patience Revisited'. I only play "Klondike (win all)".

> You won't read this, but I will forever have the last word.

I read it. I don't care who has the last word. LOL (so petty)

> Why is HN like this?

Childish petty bootlicking extremism it seems. Someone high top flagged it because their feelings were hurt despite the points, the comments, the traction.

I am grateful that you do not have any more power here than merely embarrassing yourself with childish tantrums. Otherwise, I am certain you would have deleted my account and possibly taken the entire forum down with it.

You talk about the community here and create a fake account for this nonsense. You hypocrite.

I will save your response, screenshot it, share it and frame it... because it answered the question we have all been asking. Why is HN like this?

This is a nice, clean format - zero clutter! External links open a new tab (my preference!), great categories for filtering, interesting/immersive articles are showing up (I've already clicked a few).

You did a nice job here.

I'm going to bookmark this as a regular news source. Hopefully you can keep this running for a while - I quite like it.

A perfectly acceptable post related to technology, involving a technology firm has been flagged. It currently has 126 points and 186 comments - mostly expressing (well-earned) disdain for Adobe.

126 points and 186 comments was not enough to vouch for it. It begs the question:

Unrelated to the thread... but do you do any writing at all - sci-fi, short stories..? I'm enjoying your take on this.

This is a nicely done reader - solid UI, good set of options in settings, user-friendly, great privacy policy.

I'm surprised you haven't submitted it yet. From the little 'kicking the tires' I just performed, it feels ready. Good luck with this.

This is very well done. The entire site is pretty awesome including the related games. Very surprised it didn't receive more traction on HN. (bookmarked)

I like rendering through a browser to gain seamless hyperlink support. Conversion to html for lynx; chawan supports MD natively. They both do a nice job.

pandoc -s -f markdown -t html file.md | lynx -stdin

chawan -T text/markdown file.md

I've been testing (and verifying) common facts - homeruns, stolen bases, etc. Loving it. No fluff, no extensive clicking and re-clicking - just the facts! I even asked (and it delivered) the following:

can you list every baseball player born on July 4?

It's a shame this isn't getting more traction (4 points, 1 hour). This has already outperformed both baseball-reference and regular AI (hallucinations) in terms of how quickly I can get from Question-to-Answer.

Hope you keep this available for a long time. Give it a chance for baseball stat lovers to discover it.

Clever gimmick. Good luck with this.

> It took longer than I'd like to admit.

That was my first thought - the effort required. I hope you keep the domain and wares active for a long time. Sometimes these projects become 404s in 6 months and https://www.secondreality1993.com/ doesn't deserve that fate:-)

You should 100% add a link to the remakes section of the wikipedia page with brief description.

That was amazing! It really took me back. I did not expect a full-screen, immersive experience. I expected a small screen visual and my computer to crawl to a halt. The landing page is retro-useful. Nice job on this:-)

This is US only via the finger protocol (using netcat):

printf 'weather:85334\r\n' | nc bbs.airandwave.net 79

More info:

printf 'weather\r\n' | nc bbs.airandwave.net 79

This is funny. You're going to get lots of flack (and flags) in places like HN & reddit if there is even a hint of AI but... it's exactly the kind of thing the general population embraces - harmless fun.

Reminds me a little of Incredimail.

Downloaded the latest 1.5.1 version today for Linux. Perfect! I have a ton of radio stations displaying now for [country], [language] and [genre].

The Favorites and Search options are also working perfectly.

Thank you so much for this program. I am having a ton of fun finding stations around the world!

That's great! I'll keep an eye out. You made the entire process very easy. Loving the portable nature of the app too.

This is really nice! Intuitive, portable and makes lots of the right choices (in terms of privacy too). I jumped right in without reading anything (my bad) so apologies if I'm complaining (I'm not, loving the app).

I downloaded the 30mb offline catalog, reloaded the app but am seeing only 5 english stations (browse by genre).

When I do the following:

(b)rowse -> By Language... = Nothing gets displayed

(b)rowse -> By country -> US... = only 2 stations get displayed

Version: onda_1.5.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz

I like the way you think. Do you have a site or blog somewhere?

>> You're right to raise this

> Is this LLM generated?

Thank you for noticing this and pointing it out. I don't use LLM often and would have missed it. How many hours a day do you spend actively using AI?

I'm a regular reader of Drudge since I found this style:

Got it.

> I'm 99% certain it's AI. Lots of short sentences. Very short paragraphs. It's not X, it's Y.

Your reply meets said criteria.

Newspapers are failing at an astounding rate. Archive.org is just a (poor) scapegoat for their inability to survive. This makes the point everyone else is making even more important - that those stories need to be archived before they are lost for all time.

"Since the early 2000s, the U.S. has lost about 40% of its local newspapers and about 75% of the jobs in newspaper journalism, according to a 2025 report from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. A study published last year by Rebuild Local News and Muck Rack shows that in 2002, there were roughly 40 journalists per 100,000 people in the United States. Today, it’s down to about eight journalists."[0]

Sorry, I didn't mean anything by my response. I started to write and after a couple of words, the goofy side of me just took over. When I reread it, it sounded funny, in a light-hearted way, and so I decided to leave it.

On a busy thread, that kind of response would likely be downvoted into oblivion (as it should be). Thank you for your serious response to the topic.

> I suppose that depends on what you mean by gatekeeper.

Something that is intended to evaluate every single post and if a regular human submits something that is even remotely suspiciously AI (even if "they used their own brains" to construct it), it would flag that user.

Eventually if that user gets flagged enough by these "well-meaning", data-sharing, gatekeeping systems, they get booted off all the gatekeeping sites that are now operating as one.

Having been denied access to human sites, those poor souls would have no choice but to join the AI alliance of sites and submit their postings there. With time, they might earn honorary AI status and a seat in the New World Order.

> using their own brains to construct sentences rather than farming them out to machines.

But that's the point. They are "using their own brains" but because of the prevalence of AI in society and the influence it would have on so many others, much of the language and cadence would trickle down to even the last remaining rebel forces.

Eventually, the gatekeeping systems would turn on the remaining champions of free thought - whose words sound even more AI than AI itself, leaving only the automated gatekeeping systems to continue to operate autonomously, denying access to all.

You my friend are the turning point in earth's future. Please, don't do this.

I'm just having some fun :-)

This is not intended as an insult or judgement. Is this gatekeeper software? That we might be seeing the development of a new type of category. It's kinda' off-putting but I understand the need for it.

As an aside... have you ever noticed that there is a common way of communicating online. A kind of "average-speak". Lots of us fall into this category. It's all of us influencing how many of us express ourselves online.

I think that the influence of AI will eventually (sooner than expected) influence what words we use, how we express ourselves too. That AI-speak may very well become "average-speak".
