I find all the blurbs weird, do they usually include that? If not, why now? It doesn't look professional.

I think it is interesting. Is there any other company in a position today that could put together endorsement quotes from such high ranking people across tech?

Also: Tim Cook / Apple is noticeably absent.


That's because of financial links. They are so intertwined propping up the same bubble they are absolutely going to share quotes instantly. FWIW just skimmed through and the TL;DR sounds to me like "Look at the cool kid, we play together, we are cool too!" without obviously any information, anything meaningful or insightful, just boring marketing BS>

> They are so intertwined propping up the same bubble they are absolutely going to share quotes instantly.

Reading this line, I had a funny image form of some NVidia PR newbie reflexively reaching out to Lisa Su for a supporting quote and Lisa actually considering it for a few seconds. The AI bubble really has reached a level of "We must all hang together or we'll surely hang separately".


Why is that interesting?

It could be an indicator that Apple is not as leveraged up on NVIDIA as to provide a quote. Cook did make a special one of a kind product for the current POTUS, so he is nothing if not pragmatic.

Quotes from known names in a boring corporate press release are absolutely standard. It gives journalists a hook to build a story. “Elon Musk says new Nvidia tech is…”

Because standing out gets attention?

Isn't that the whole point of these exotic TLDs?

io is actually a country code tld for a territory that no longer exists.

I was aware of that, there was some controversy regarding that TLD a while back.

I consider it an exotic one though, just like .tv (which is also a country TLD) or .ai (not a country TLD).


LLMs are of course generative AI. If they use that then their claim is not correct.

From the article, their claim is only about AI-generated assets (both in the game and its marketing), not logic. This is what people usually refer to when they say a game is "AI-Free"

They should call it Gen AI-light!

What kind of cope is this? You know damn well they are using LLMs and are being hypocritical which is ironic for a virtue signaling post.

Tech debt isn't really the same anymore if it's relatively simple to regenerate an entire codebase from scratch.

This assumes the regeneration is deterministic, or at least its output no worse than what it's replacing.

Yeah, the assumption is that it eventually will be the same or better. It's basically how this software was created, he seems to have made a few different versions before he was happy.

A cheat sheet could be a piece of paper you're allowed to bring to an exam. To make a proper cheat sheet you have to understand the material you're working with anyway so it usually doesn't help you.

I usually does help you by having written it.

That's true, I meant it doesn't help much as a cheat sheet if you didn't put in the work to make it yourself.

It's just a link to a blogpost, like all the other links on HN. None are treated any special way. Why would content that was on lobsters first be treated differently.

The mismatch seems to stem from the fact that generated comments are against HN guidelines, but automated posts are tolerated by mods, which seems somewhat reasonable on its face, but has failure modes when OPs' own posts, even when they post first, are scooped by bots.

The issue is that it also becomes easy to game. I've abused the fact that bots repost lobste.rs by timing my post submissions, I could have had this front-page post as I posted this to lobste.rs originally.

This makes the HN front-page less of an organic thing, and this is an implicit vote ring behavior few people have access to. It also makes people interested in lobste.rs for this behavior, which our community is not interested inn.


You can prompt the LLM to not just give you the answer. Possibly even ask it to consider the problem from different angles but that may not be helpful when you don't know what you don't know.

I think that account was compromised a while back, it looks fine now again. I don't get the point though, why even bother making a repost bot. It's not like they gain anything from it.

Not that I have anything against the top bloggers, but I do hope the 2026 list will differ from the 2025 list. I'm here to read about varied tech content!


Most (all?) photo apps include a crop function, allowing your mom just crop out everything else.

I hope you’re being sarcastic. If not, expecting someone’s parent to know how to use a photo app’s crop functionality just to communicate an error state is a failure of understanding typical streaming app users.

I wasn't being sarcastic. This is not a case of not being capable of doing something, it's about not knowing the functionality exists. Cropping is very simple. I assumed the GP didn't know about it either or he would have taught his mom already.

Could the manufacturer solve this in a better way? Probably but that won't solve the issue the customer has now.


Poe's Law goes both ways. As a matter of fact, my mom invented digital photo cropping (or "pixel array extent adjustment," because even in her prime she wasn't a marketing genius, bless her heart). We know better than to expect her to submit a bug report once she's settled down to watch TV for the evening.

Jokes aside, "upload a photo of her living room" was meant to highlight the ridiculousness of the UX. I believe the designer of that flow had an OKR to decrease the number of reported bugs.


Honestly the post office was probably very happy to get this off their hands. They have much better margins on packages.

Government should provide an important service to its citizens at atleast a minimum viable level. No one is accusing Denmark of corruption in it's delivery of letters so profitability should not be a consideration.

It's not clear to me what service is not being provided? Citizens still receive their mail.
