Archery is a lot of fun - I go to a monthly archery gathering where the host has a bunch of really nice recurves.
Re:Ask HN: Why is YouTube's recommendation system so bad?

I wonder if you can delete your entire existing history to sort of reset the recommendation engine? i've definitely had to delete individual ones from my history to downrank similar ones in the past.

How much would it help cut down if Show HN was prohibited for accounts that were green and/or only had 1 karma?
Meaning you would have to demonstrate that you had or were willing to contribute to the HN community before just promoting your own stuff.

I don't want to be glib - but perhaps it is because our "context window lengths" extend back a bit further than yours?
Big tech (not just AI companies) have been viewed with some degree of suspicion ever since Google's mantra of "Don't be evil" became a meme over a decade ago.
Regardless of where you stand on the concept of copyright law, it is an indisputable fact that in order for these companies to get to where they are today - they deliberately HOOVERED up terabytes of copyrighted materials without the consent or even knowledge of the original authors.

You might look into era specific LoRas if they exist, and if not consider training a few to help better capture architectural detail from that specific time frame.

The hero we need will write a tampermonkey firefox script that'll hide any HN post that contains the following keywords:
- in X Hours
- With no knowledge
- no code
- AI, Sonnet, GPT
This is what happens when the barrier to writing applications is zero, and the levee hasn't even BEGUN to breach yet.

This weirdly reminds me of the human equivalent to big cats marking their territory by scratching trees.

Even more horrible idea: Adjust the payout probability in proportion to the number of enemy combatants that an infantryman has killed.

"Slots are often found on bases where there is precious little to do, like Diego Garcia – a 12-sq.-mile island in the Indian Ocean with a population of just over 4,000 people – where the Navy runs 52 slot machines"
Talk about a captive audience rife for exploitation.

I've had good luck with using them as an alternative to the Google Translate API, but they're entering a pretty crowded space, e.g. Sudowrite, Jasper, Grammarly.
I've even used ChatGPT's zero shot to do some editorial clean-ups with the prompt:
I am going to provide paragraphs of text in quotation marks that may contain spelling errors, grammatical issues, continuity errors, structural problems, etc. I would like you to produce a revised version with all of the above issues fixed. Do not begin until I provide text enclosed in quotation marks.
