If you really wanted to optimize something involving living consciousness beings like a machine, at least you should consider things like the need to take a piss as a hard constraint and design the system around it.

Don't get me wrong I love factorio like the next guy and understand the idea behind your thinking, but there should be limits to that thinking in the real world. And if that doesn't convince you consider the efficiency loss of a depressed worker with a urinary tract infection.

Honestly - and I don't mean that as an insult - I hope for you to experience (just once) the loss of dignity that not being able to visit the restroom on your own decision will give you. Might make you realize the hell this kind of thinking leads to.

I am not insulated and I think my post was received stronger than I intended, with my point being simply that there are jobs where physical presence at a given moment is more significant than in knowledge work for example (say whatever you want, bus drivers and others defacto hold it in if possible to avoid disruptions at least here in NYC)

And to be frank even at my job which is very removed from bus driving or warehouse work there are moments where I would feel self-pressure to hold it in short of a dire emergency.

(Eg, I am on stage at a speaker panel or something like that where my absence would be visible and disruptive)

Not going to discuss this further, but wanted to apologize for my message. I was annoyed and should've waited before sending. Sorry.

Are you on stage at a speaker panel 8 hours a day, every day? Because in the 8 hours a day case 'just holding' isn't an acceptable requirement.

Weirdly still so much more human (and somewhat relatable) than he ever was in an interview

Maybe... if run locally with full transparency into the prompts (including system etc) and independent benchmarks for the models (i.e. tests on how eager they are about selling me stuff)

But even in this hypothetical world I would still have a hard time teaching an LLM what I find important in a product. Not everything can be captured in easy to compare numbers. "Does the device creak under pressure?", "What's the one weirdly unergonomic thing about it you only notice after weeks of using?"... Stuff like that. Things which are easy to miss even if the model ingests all relevant reviews about the product, because it might not stand out, but might be important for me.

Nothing will ever beat this one https://cf.preview.redd.it/a-photo-of-an-astronaut-riding-a-...

Wow, that's amazing. I was about to tell it to make the helmet similar to the human one, with the gold visor, but thought it wouldn't convey it as well, but not only is it obvious, it still has the feeling of being a horse.

Dogs shadow didn't change

i really enjoyed that one

Still flags as 100% LLM written https://www.pangram.com/history/cc9b6131-c772-4b3b-9a5d-8e81...

created a little wrapper and userscript based browser extension https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

I have (an API, not an extension), but pangram is way to expensive for me to run, current (v4) pricing is $0.05 per 100 words. Should be absolutely doable if we split the cost between users tho.

I tried searching for good opensource / reasonably priced alternatives, pangram themselves even have some of their older architecture and training data on github/hugging face, but i never got that working reliably enough.

update: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49582725 shared another page which already does the parsing and pangram requests. I wrote a little wrapper and userscript based extension around it (https://github.com/nilsherzig/hnslop), hope that helps!
