Recent comments from the simonw account suggest it isn't operated directly by a human anymore /sigh/

You seem to have an eye on identifying avatars as bots, how come? You also accused me of being a bot https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47293917

What?

That's a competing OS issue, not a perpetual Office issue (2013 is still running fine for me, but best not to open untrusted docx)

It doesn't work in Chrome either (please complete CAPTCHA/yes you're valid/repeat), it might be a config issue on archive.is (Firefox latest windows, Chrome 151 windows - guest/null profile on both) rather than a war move.


That made the post? Everything in your comment is in the post, AI summaries aren't very popular.

> I designed the whole board as code, which I’d recommend to anyone who, like me, finds dragging traces around with a mouse maddening. KiCad—the free PCB tool—has a Python API, so the entire card is generated by a script.


My guess is that the whole project including the selection of chips was made by an AI.


My guess as well. I don't like it when humans silently pass off LLM writing as their own.

I also don't like it when humans silently pass off LLM work as their own.

Prompting is not the same as doing the work. There are ways to genuinely collaborate with LLMs, but if someone silently takes full credit for work generated by LLMs, my assumption is they probably vibe coded it.


Plus, I spend my free time expending effort to consume human generated content. I’m okay with slop someone pays me to deal with, but don’t expect people to read your hobby related post when you couldn’t be bothered to write it.


This isn't accurate, what are you basing it on? The mods see lots. Maybe too much. Will react to enough flags, or some messages from users who seem trusted. You can get banned in 2 posts. Mods have much more info (like whether you've tried a new green account today) and there's some automation/rules to auto-ban.


It's based on personal experience and what little I know about how moderation works here. Of course as the mods have told me many, many times, I could just be wrong about everything.

But I've seen plenty of things go by unnoticed and plenty of times the mods will bring up the quality of someone's comments or the age of their account when trying to talk someone down, meanwhile other accounts don't get as much slack. And they'll mention that they "can't see everything," but of course that could be inaccurate.


How many times have you been banned, that this was repeatedly explained to you?


None, it's weird. I'm probably one of the few people dang has actually sworn at in his comments, and I piss people off and get flagged all the time, so I know plenty of people including the staff don't like me, but they've never banned me. They filtered my account for years so I could only post three comments an hour, though. But most of what I'm talking about comes from watching the mods interacting with other people. I spend far too much time here.


So you knew what main meant


Yes.

I was surprised when you didn't understand my post and answered literally.

I am less surprised that you're being kind of an asshole in exactly the HN way. You've nailed the shitty, condescending attitude.

You've got a future in wasting your life wanking off here.


I'm not the user who asked you. Best of luck though.


Even weirder that you decided to snipe then.


Unfortunately not if you're running a mac


Macs definitely can use DP Alt Mode over USB-C ports, so if you get a USB-C -> DP cable it's straight up DP to the monitor.


Or you can just plug things into HDMI port without dongles.


Or you can just plug monitors into usb-c ports using usb-c cables without any special hdmi cables.


Yes here in Canada, plenty of Software Engineers, P.Eng
