Well now you can point an LLM at it. I’m not sure that gives you anything either, but I’m not sure the hacker ethos makes that a priority.
Sometimes a hack is just cool because it’s a hack.

Of course you will lose a game of chance most of the time. Over a long enough timeline the chance of winning probably comes out to evenly distributed. Therefore your best bet is to play with only one other person ever so that you have a 50% win rate

So basically what happened to video once Netflix started making its own content and YouTube production values started to match some tv shows.
There’s just so much creative content these days that it’s impossible to consume it all.
And therefore highly unlikely that we will share many experiences anymore

Yep. Tesla's original value prop for the gigafactory was to have the machine build the machine. But that failed because wires are hard to install.

Literal crime seems a bit exaggerated, no? It seems more like the epitome of “move fast, break things”. Folks are moving so fast now that they don’t even bother to try to recoup value for the effort they may have invested anymore.
If that’s a crime, there are a lot of companies that made a lot of money breaking that law.

Reducing cost for a large scale corporation call center. Press or say one.
Basic ML is probably even cheaper. But LLMs might have higher accuracy. “Uhh one I think” = 1

Probably significant parallelism. Split the audio into a lot of slightly overlapping portions to ensure the transitions between words are caught. I’m sure there’s some relatively simple ways to ensure you don’t double up on words.

What makes you think an "expert" was not consulted on this? Experts can be wrong too, regardless of credentials. That's why AI should be used to review and critique all new laws going forward, in order to prevent such mistakes from being made law. Hard /s, btw.
Re:Newgrounds.com – A community of games, music, and art
on Saturday October 03, 2026 @05:31AM (#49942683)
It peaked and went on a decline in the period before companies were snatching up sites just to merge their user bases.
Had newgrounds continued into the 2010's, it would've been bought by Google to boost Google Wave / Circles / Plus whatever, and then it would've been actually shutdown.
So its age is actually what helped it survive I suspect.
