Of course, this has nothing to do with making the AI feel bad, nor have the investors been offended.

They are asking this because, at scale, this behavior probably has some negative effect on the post-training process.

Exactly. The title works for any server.

I mean, they even cancelled a few taxes that they themselves had approved in the past, just before the elections. What a coincidence!
Make a web version and I am sold.

Magicmaker is pretty solid.

Is it open source? What is the repository?

My result: "The Podcast Bro

You listened to a three-hour interview with an AI researcher and now you have opinions."

BS, I listened at least THREE podcasts.

Well, I like the initiative, but dealing with code blocks looks like hell. You should not mess with the original indentation.

Also, the markup should at least support tables.

Interesting that the guy who wrote the article is an award-winning science fiction writer and also the author of FlashForward. They even made a TV series based on it.

This is too cool for the current state of humanity.
Re:Show HN: Linear Chess – Normal Chess, on a 1D board on Thursday May 28, 2026 @07:24AM (#48307429)
I am on mobile. I can select a pawn, but not move it touching the destination. What is the trick?

I loved the mobile version. I disliked that bold text are scattered everywhere.
That will require AGI.
Where are the neighborhoods? This was the charm of Geocities.

Cool project though.

I don't know why that happened, but one fine day I tried to open the file using the vanilla SQLite client, and it didn't open.
Thank you!
A hard lesson learned...
I used SQLite for a few applications several years ago. One time, the database got corrupted and all the data was lost. That was the day I stopped using SQLite.

Also, the lack of enforced column data types was always a negative for me.

I mean, it’s the shitty human nature. You can't create anything publicly without people bashing your project, and you, for the sheer insolence of creating a piece of software.

This. I am telling this since the boom of generative AI and promptly being ignored.
Re:Make Tmux Pretty and Usable on Monday April 13, 2026 @11:07AM (#47753105)
I used tmux for a few years, until one day I discovered Zellij. With its significantly better UI and overall user experience, I was instantly convinced.
Yeah, I had been using ChatGPT's, but Gemini's Pro study mode is excellent as well.
Interesting, this was exactly what my thesis was about, but was an Android app.
