Found out about plain text accounting recently, and set up a journal. It was a bit tricky to understand at first, but I think I am getting better at it... will see if it helps me to analyze my monthly spendings...

People have no idea how many news websites, SaaS websites, and apps I would subscribe to at prices of $30/year or less ($2.50/month).

replied to:

I've been curious about the reasoning for prices too. Like, there has to be research behind it... But I agree it is far easier to buy four 2.5€ services than one for 5

日本語話者はどれくらいいるんだろう。ここで日本語で書き込み続けるのはどうなんだろう

I wonder how many Japanese speakers there are. Is it okay to keep posting in Japanese here?

こんにちは。はじめまして。

Hello. Nice to meet you.

ここで日本語で書き込み続けるのはどうなんだろうサイト作成者はさまざまの言語の話者が一緒に話せる場面にしたい気がする

I wonder if it's okay to keep posting in Japanese here. I get the feeling the site creator wants this to be a place where speakers of various languages can talk together.

replied to:

Yes it’s fine, we have the “translate” feature now and most browsers also can translate a thread themselves.

τώρα έχουμε αυτόματες μεταφράσεις!

now we have automatic translations!

Ask HN: What's slop? what's AI written text and why read/not read? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49289341#49290428

replied to:

You've hit the nail on the head. But here's the mindblowing part—writing isn't just about text on a page. It's not about listing a bunch of facts to memorize. Writing is about human connection. And here's where it gets even more fascinating... [parody, not AI]

…

replied to:

Some writing yes, If you want to write a post saying why your company has a position yes; if you are documenting an API, does the average swagger page have a human connection factor? If you are in X/FB, is any of your followers a "human connection"?

continued:

Then, in some spaces, say big corp communications, the terse, direct communication is desired, for example the quarter earning communication? What about software?, what part of your browser gives you the "human connection"?

replied to:

If writing (incl X/FB posts) is meant to convey "some human being did/saw/thought this and found it worth writing about", then AI undermines human connection and will annoy people. API docs, earnings reports, &c never conveyed that to begin with, so nobody will care about AI use.

replied to:

I think slop is not taking the time to refine and polish and simply publishing something as it was handed to you by the . You use AI but the decisions should be yours. Otherwise it's .
