I love this new future where every post has comments about whether AI was involved or not!

I really think that the HN guidelines need updating, so that we're directed to consider those comments the same way we do accusations of astroturfing:

> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

It "degrades discussion" in exactly the same fashion.

Except "usually mistaken" doesn't apply here, since it's often true.

The position of "Degrades discussion" in that sentence implies that the accuracy of the claim has no bearing on that particular impact.

That's just in the short term. After a few years people will be complaining this posts sounds like it was written by meat.

You mean the meat communicates?

The meat is alive, actually. Sentient meat, if you can believe it.

How would that work?

do you think they get a blank check for AWS resources?

honestly not sure, but it would explain how they can keep it running

Well, I know a year (or 3?) Back they changed their retention of long videos, my guess is to lower storage spend.

we need a caching layer

lol

it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to have some backups in space. It could imagine this being a premium AWS offering. A storage class for S3. Put one on the moon too. True cold storage ha!

Great, thanks!

I recall a video of a guy temporarily reducing hard drive performance by shouting at it

edit: here it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4

That is not just any guy though. He is the guy.

The guy if you care about systems performance, in a detailed way, for sure!

Someone ask him how many OS kernel bugs he’s found now? He finds the weirdest things… a tally would be “interesting”.

next try shouting at a wafer stepper

the sweatshirts are 50% cotton, 50% polyester which is a bit unfortunate.

Not everywhere apparently.

T-Shirts and Sweatshirts are 100% organic cotton (in the UK store at least).

ah, you’re right. I was looking at the north american store :3
