I think this is an issue with anyone who relies on any LLMs. But yeah I agree and have had similar issues where someone will get defensive because they just don't want to admit they(the LLM's response) were wrong. It's hard to tell someone in a "nice/nonchalant" way:

"It's fine, the LLM just lied to you, but hallucinations and making claims based off of assumptions is just something they do and always have done!"

People don't like to feel dumb, and they don't want to feel betrayed by the same tool that gave them incredible factually correct results that one time only to give them complete and utter bullshit(that sounded legitimate) another time.

Also, yeah it feels like its everywhere these days and isn't showing any signs of slowing down(visited my parents and my dads using siri to ask chatgpt stuff now - URGHHHH) and I really hope we're both wrong


Gross. Not sure about y'all but seeing an obviously AI-generated image at the top of the article is an instant nope/close tab for me. Not going to flag but these articles should be DOA.

Are you sure your coworker hasn't been eating a lot of corn or pineapples lately(possibly leading to visible sores in the mouth?)

If it's so low traffic maybe whenever y'all run into each other you could just do something subtle like a visual cue like a nod or just a "hey how are you?" if they seem to be in a good mood whenever you happen to pass by each other in the workplace.

Not saying you have to be friends with this person but maybe after a few of those small interactions(and a little time) bring it up in a non-direct way...

Best case scenario if he replies to a "hey how are ya?" with "oh good, how about you?" you could casually bring up something like "oohhh, had a patient that came in with (same symptoms as the guy) - we figured out it was this. Don't see that often!"

Hopefully he's drinking at least 50 gallons of water a day, and eating tree bark seems to be a good remedy for GI issues.

Oh wait, is your coworker a human or an elephant?


I don't use lineage OS myself, but I thought the same as I read the first few sections of this article. This "guide", if anything will just confuse the less tech savvy users rather than help.

wiki.lineageos.org has specific install instructions for every phone/device they support, I have no idea why you would choose to follow anything else.

just as an example, for the Nintendo switch v2(devices built after the homebrew method was patched) can be found at:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nx_tab/install/variant2/

There's an install guide for almost every android capable device for the last decade on the wiki!


> wiki.lineageos.org has specific install instructions for every phone/device they support, I have no idea why you would choose to follow anything else.

Ironically, the Switch 2 page you linked on their wiki mentions a few different install methods and locations and goes on to say about one of those:

> if you wish to install Android to the eMMC, you will need to consult external resources

So it seems that there are indeed cases where you have to follow other things than the guides in the wiki, even for supported devices.


Really? That seems odd, where are you looking? Through your Carrier or just for unlocked devices? Depending on who you're with, usually you can just grab an unlocked device and your Carrier to register the device. I've only ever used Google Fi and AT&T though I'm not sure about the others.

Searching duckduckgo for 'Unlocked {device}' returns a lot of results on the shopping tab for phones on Amazon and eBay like the pixel 8/9 plus plenty of other "recent" android devices. Walmart and Bestbuy seem to still have dedicated sections for unlocked phones as well.


They are different kinds of unlocked! Unlocked generally just means "can be used with any carrier". For example this Samsung S22 I am on is "unlocked".

But Samsung hasn't allowed unlocking the bootloader on their phones for many years. And they are far far from the only ones in that state.

You basically have to research each specific phone far ahead of time. And beware! Because there's, for example, lots of guides telling you how to unlock my S22 phone. But as of ~2023 Samsung now blocks all those previous exploits that the unlocked software used to use.

It's a mess and a half.


Eesh, that does sound rough. The last Samsung phone I owned was the Galaxy S5, I see on the Wikipedia page Samsung devices have been locked down since early 2021 :(

Not like I would try to give you advice on unlocking your phone in the first place as I'm mostly clueless myself.

Maybe time to trade up or sideways? Graphene OS only officially supports Google Pixel devices anyway(for now). If Motorola could somehow recapture the magic of the Razer today with a new phone, that would be cool too!

Hey HN! Check out this vibe-coded shell script that Claude Opus one-shot that does the same thing(Pretty CrAzY!!!).

This is a fish shell function but you can probably get claude code to convert it to bash or zsh

  function STFU

         #alsa records incoming audio from the default input device for 2 seconds

         arecord --duration 2 echo.wav

         #alsa plays back the echo.wav of the recorded audio file

         aplay echo.wav

         #Ctrl+C when the target looks your way!!!
  end

  STFU
Guess I should create a git repo for this now and add an MIT license like OP, amirite?

(Yes this is post is entirely sarcasm, except that I do use fish as my default shell.)


I can think of at least one. gamefaqs.gamespot.com

gamespot itself is definitely different than it used to be but the gamefaqs subdomain has remained nearly identical to how it was in the late 90s early 2000s


I've been daily driving CachyOS for ~3 years now. It was the first distro I could use "out of the box" with a Nvidia 1080 TI and later 3060 along with an old Intel i7-8700k without having to spend a significant amount of time tweaking and fiddling with config files just to get a working Plasma/Wayland setup.

Though I definitely think the resources and guides Archwiki provided plus the fact that I had been distro hopping(Mint, Ubuntu, PopOS among others) the last couple years before I settled into CachyOS/Arch helped a lot.

I will say though(at least in my experience) attempting to use a tiling/dynamic WM like hyprland, sway, river, anything that depends on wlroots did not work well, which is to be expected as i dont believe any of the desktop environments I listed support Nvidia.

KDE Plasma(The default DE) and XFCE which I only used for a short while gave me the most stable and consistent environment. Generally I never promote CachyOS, but this is the first time I've seen it on the front page of HN, if you're willing to put in a little effort(i.e read through the CachyOS docs and maybe a couple pages of the Archwiki) I'm pretty sure CachyOS is the best experience "out of the box" for users with a Nvidia GPU/intel CPU/iGPU. Outside of straight up upstream Arch as long as youre willing to put in the time to configure it post install to optimize your system.

Thanks for saving me the read, I wish we(or the HN team) could flag these posts as AI-authored.


Man, this is Tom's Hardware, and the author (H. Nasir) isn't exactly a contnent mill. He doesn't reference AI in any source, and this article is in line with his other writing styles.

It worries me that the "average HNer" doesn't perform independent analysis on even the headlines anymore, but rather the "top comment/flavor of the month" opinion at the top of the discussion.

It is...dangerous to then say "I wish we we could flag these posts as AI-authored"

Dang has done an incredible job with the flagging system, and it is reliant on the shared understanding of the users here that we are all acting in good faith and not performing surface level analysis/criticism.


per HN these days every article is AI written so you can stop reading all together :)


Only every article one dislikes.


This sounds more like however your OS handles opening the PDF mimetype(xdg-open,open,Invoke-Item) I'm assuming you're on windows. I think often times browsers will just be set to the default for previewing a PDF unless set otherwise. This is all just conjecture though as I don't use any of the tools you listed above and I'm not absolutely certain of how Windows/MacOS handles PDFs by default.

Twitter's handling of opening links in its own webview is a bit different, unless Slack, Teams, Confluence, Jira all open these browser instances within some sort of webview wrapper as well(I wouldn't think so). So its a little bit different


No, what they are talking about is that you click on a link to see a PDF in these web apps, and instead of serving up the PDF document itself, they serve up a page in their web app that embeds a PDF viewer.

I assume they are trying to be "helpful" but 99% of the time the user's browser can render the PDF more conveniently than the app's embedded viewer (not breaking scrolling and zooming etc.)
