They have made something that can more easily be adopted by schools for students.

They are creating countless customers for life.

App setting

Yes I understand that GPS still works in airplane mode, but the app should not have my location made available to it when I am not using it

If it was an "inside the app" setting, then Uber did not behave.

Unfortunately, not how Android works. You can turn "location permission" on or off for individual apps, but if it is on for an app (and Uber's app likely demanded it be allowed "location permission" upon install) then if the global GPS is turned on, any app with "location permission" can ask the phone "where am I" at any time.

Gas turbines emit an array of pollutants including nitrogen oxides, methane, carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and formaldehyde that you should not be breathing.

You might not feel it right away, but the closer you are to these things, the more your health is going to suffer over time.

The point OP was making is that due to off-site power generation like it should be - there are no gas turbines built co-located with the datacenter they live near. As such, a datacenter is roughly as obnoxious (likely less so due to less traffic) as an office building or warehouse. Until recently most folks living near such a facility likely had no idea.

It's when we decide building any power infrastructure anywhere is evil we get absurdities like standing up jet engines in datacenter parking lots as insane workarounds.

It's basically impossible to build anything at scale when it comes to power. Solar, wind, transmission lines, nuclear, you name it. There will be a group of folks vehemently against it that ties most projects up so they don't even get proposed to begin with.

Create a new account every so often, don’t leave any identifying information, occasionally switch up the way you spell words (British/US English), and alternate using different slang words and shorthand.

And do what I do - paste everything into ChatGPT and have it rephrase it. Not because I need help writing, but because I’d rather not have my writing style used against me.

I can't stand this and will actively discriminate against comments I notice in that voice. Even this one has "Not because [..], but because [..]"

I get your sentiment, though I think it's likely that people, on average, are going to organically start writing more and more like LLMs.

It's already begun.

The good rephrasing will not include that voice.

This just gives OpenAI that data.

Perhaps you could use a local translation model to rephrase (such as TranslateGemma). If translating English to English doesn't achieve this effect then use an intermediate language, one the model is good at to not mangle meaning too much.

I run Qwen 3 locally, but I mention OpenAI on HN so people understand what I’m referring to.

do the following:

sample content from users on this page: https://hackertimes.com/leaders

and ask the LLM to rephrase it in their voice

I'm actually working on a browser extension to do just this with adversarial stylometry techniques

Look up "adversarial stylometry"

funnily enough, if everyone did this (at least make a new account often), it would prove more destructive to what HN (purposefully) wants to do than deleting the occasional account data

One has to wonder if the people placing these bets didn’t have some plans of their own.

A million dollars for a single bet is extremely high stakes.

A million dollars is high stakes, but not extremely high. We’ve seen much much higher wagers.

Iran could fund their war by manipulating these markets.

I find discord is very helpful for this.

Find servers that are used by people in your desired audience and there is usually an appropriate channel to post in.

Let people know what you are doing and what you are looking for and interested parties will message you.

You either need a lab to test donor samples first, or when this was more of a craze, a popular source of 'donations' for the DIY crowd was young children.

If you're interested in digging into the people that were doing this, they had a website dedicated to everyone telling their stories of how they went about their own individual journeys.

The website was called thepowerofpoop.com and looks like it's gone now, but is available on the wayback machine including individual articles and images.

I would go back to at least 2022 .. I think they possibly got in legal trouble at some point and started taking things down.

It might not be gluten (protein) that is affecting you, but the fructans (carbohydrates) that are found in wheat, rye, and barely which are high in FODMAPs.

Look into low-FODMAP diets if you haven't already.

Thanks, my wife and I did one and it helped but it’s really hard to find the root cause because I also wasn’t eating bread at the time. I also get it from beer but not liquor, which makes me consider its gluten. Great point though, I’ll keep it in mind

Sadly this is just as much money as was stolen from taxpayers and transferred to "The Board of Peace"

Go to where the people are.

Volunteer your time .. animal shelters, food kitchens, trash cleanups, habitat for humanity, or even just drop in to a nursing home .. there are tons of people that would also love to talk and share.
