yeah i love this comparison- that's why i avoid places that are clearly sysco wrappers (or massive chains that are just wrappers around their own supply chain)

basically any food establishment that has "supply chain operation" is slop to me; I guess it's similar to my distaste in reading AI slop too

I don't fault ppl for going (and enjoying) those too- Chili's can be enjoyable after a few beers

Re:LLM Voice on Thursday October 29, 2026 @03:39PM (#50294664)
yes yes definitely, restaurants should not be microwaving food for paying customers (ok if some components are) but like... not serve a completely microwaved dish

happened to me once lol, will never forget that place ever again (blech)

> As more people delegate writing to LLMs they will also delegate thinking and comprehension to LLMs. I don't want to do that, where's the fun of writing then?

I enjoy cooking from scratch, and I really don't like frozen foods, microwave/TV dinners, or even DoorDashing

but we're past complaining/arguing/shaming folks who don't cook every meal from scratch

you know what, I don't prefer eating it, but if my next door neighbor loves microwaving frozen $3 burritos, then go ahead

to some people, food is art, creativity, life to others, food is fuel

also applies to writing and thinking

nah you dont always have the luxury of meal prep (or planning/grocery store runs) when you have a newborn - besides this takes up so much time and energy

interesting they're going back to the fixed-seat bench design of the 40's-60's kind of car design - didn't know these were allowed anymore

also wonder how comfy that is? i kind of welcome it tho!

it doesnt generate text though, only probabilities
Re:Build your own decision model on Sunday October 11, 2026 @01:51AM (#50040167)
use it to classify a bunch of research papers (by feeding it section by section, or summaries of sections if too long)

works like a charm

Re:Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @11:35AM (#49980068)
riding horses is many ways way more fun than driving a car (earliest form of self driving!!!); but I'd never consider riding as a real form of transportation

it's fine to keep riding though as long as you're having fun!! but it will definitely get worse and worse as a form of transportation

(this is true for hand coding too)

as long as there are things in and our lives to improve, there are opportunities to build great companies that provide a lot of value

i dont think those exist purely in software anymore- but if you look around at say, the skyrocketing number of elderly and nursing homes (just as an example) there are probably dozens of ways to improve lives and make a good living there

and electronics and hardware has always been so difficult and expensive to get into- but with new infra and workflows and 3d Printing and getting stuff from China- it's vastly cheaper and easier to do a robotics or hardware startup than 20 years ago

there will always be opportunities!

cost of living is bc of high price of energy
idk when most ppl's cars break down, they dont have the mental model to fix their cars either

we've been here / done this before, but in other journeys and with other "vehicles"

this is just another kind of vehicle, in a field where vehicles never existed

FYI if you're getting a Worker Exception, using Cloudflare Warp / 1.1.1.1 can get the article
If they want something that looks more like FDA sanction clinical trial proceedings for these products, then what they have to also realize is that they will need a third party to audit every single thing for every single product release and you get something like ERoom's law where every success and model gets more and more expensive release and probably billions of dollars in multiple years release so I don't know if this actually helps them
Re:Silicon Valley Is Transforming the Military-Industrial Complex on Thursday September 10, 2026 @12:49PM (#49646743)
I've been reading Chip War and it seems like original funding for chip design was for the Space Race and for guided missiles - so basically most of Silicon Valley was started / funded by military all along
Re:AirPods 5 on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @01:48PM (#49630405)
have they ever improved the charging system so the charging leads dont get gunked up?

I have a pair of airpod pro 2 and i have to scrape the leads almost every day

would be amazing if they did it thru induction charging (tho i guess thats really slow)

Re:Show HN: Rdltr – Inbox zero for your reading list on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @01:17PM (#49629931)
this is really nice! i think it looks great!

the infinite scroll prevents the footer from ever being seen though

https://rdltr.app/help is in the footer and it looks really helpful!

also, any plans to open source 0:)

Re:Sony makes bold claim about game ownership on Thursday September 03, 2026 @01:59PM (#49554011)
this would wreck a lot of the marketing efforts and probably be bad for their bottom line in the long run

I'm surprised the Sony team isn't freaked out about this

Re:Taste Is All That's Left on Monday August 10, 2026 @12:26PM (#49245894)
it's more horrifying to think that an entire generation's "taste" might be built on the constant output of LLMs

it's like a new generation of chefs that only knows of Chili's, and thinks it's good.

shudder

no one's complained (I don't even know if they notice), I just feel like it's obnoxious - I can feel the car arrive from the apt shaking haha
