I want you to rewrite this headline "Amazon will allow ePub and PDF downloads for DRM-free eBooks"
into something a little humorous and snarky that reveals the underlying truth that would bring a
wry smile to tech-engaged but big tech-skeptical hacker news readers.
This has to fit in the 80 character limit for Hacker News so keep it appropriately short.
Also I want you to reply with exactly one headline and not anything else so I can use your output
as part of a processing pipeline
Amazon Finally Remembers eBooks Aren’t Supposed to Be Prisoners
Which looks like what you did.
Good LLM prompt, excellent understanding.
I found myself pulling up the original and the honest versions side by side. The translation makes it funny.

Superficially, they're the same, but digging in shows the real difference.

They're a lot of fun! And super easy to vibe code, if I'm looking to test a new model.
It's hard to restrain myself from navel-gazing, the lint in there is fascinating.
But I'm not sure they satisfy curiosity as much as many posts with fewer votes.
I no longer even need to use any braincells to call out stupid HN comments, wild. LLMs are great.
Seriously! The first post was fun. But this is turning into an AI-spam-fest! I objected in the 2nd thread but got downvoted. Apparently the community here thinks this kind of low effort Reddit-style humor is now on-topic for this place!
You could game a few stars with sockpuppet accounts, but it's infeasible to game 100+ stars.
> This package costed me 8.19 Euros for 100 stars which is €0.08/star.
Shoot for the stars, I guess.
It’s not only feasible, it’s trivial.

not the number of stars, but I like looking what people have done online ie GitHub/blog. I feel like it is a nice thing to talk about.
I know it's an unpopular opinion these days cause everyone wants work life balance and not work beyond the office but it's always nice to see projects you've worked on it does show some interest. also while one can fake GitHub activity it's hard to fake well thought out and cared for projects.
it's easier to fake metrics from your previous jobs like I saved X amount of money for the company or had Y efficiency gains.
Still, both of these were really interesting to my future colleagues (not the recruiter) who interviewed me in the last round of the interviews which landed me my current job. They had read them ahead of time and it really shaped the technical part of the interview.
Edit: Oh no, that was for the repo I actually stared before seeing this. I'm just learning Go :)

This is a good step. Next: disclose financial incentives and other motives just to nip it in the bud.
I’m all for prefacing each post that comes from a16z with “Asshole Alert” so that we know who we are dealing with upfront.
"We rewrote it in snark so you have to upvote".
> We rewrote it in Rust so you have to upvote it
I'm pretty sure they didn't go through all the trouble of rewriting it in Rust to get some internet forum points!
Your question was "Is it wrong, though?" The answer is "Yes"
Maybe its just you who doesnt like them?
Obviously it's just me who doesn't like them. What's your point?
My opinion is a weakly that this is tiring and borderline insulting to people who are genuinely looking for feedback and community. Clever once a year or so, but the creator has leaned into it and posted a lot of meta in a small timeline.
If not, then you will start seeing them more and more and you will need to suck it up my friend!

Right. Sorry. We apologise. We didn't know the joke police was monitoring.
This one shows the "age" of the LLM, or the data cut off time
If you transmit a message to Mars, say a rover command sequence, and the outgoing buffer is deleted on the sending side (the original code is preserved, but the transmission-encoded sequence doesn't stick around), then that data, for 20-90 minutes, exists nowhere _except_ space. It's just random-looking electrical fluctuations that are propagating through whatever is out there until it hits a conducting piece of metal millions of miles away and energizes a cap bank enough to be measured by a digital circuit and reconstructed into data.
So, if you calculate the data rate (9600 baud, even), and set up a loopback/echo transmitter on Mars, you could store ~4 MB "in space". If you're using lasers, it's >100x as much.

You just need to be traveling faster than the radio waves, catch up and enjoy :)
The big limiting factors are free space path loss and noise.
You can get a low order correction with Euler-Heisenberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%E2%80%93Heisenberg_Lagra...
Tom 7 did something reminiscent of this if you hadn't seen already: https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio.
The furthest they did was 8.3 Mbps at 400 million km which is around ~1.38 GiB in transit.
Don't you worry!
AI rover robots are soon going to dominate Mars.
made my mind tickle for quite a while

You, sir or ma'am, are a genius. A (freakin) genius I say!
Some of them were already pretty honest: "Show HN: Stop AI scrapers from hammering your self-hosted blog (using porn) " -> "Using porn to poison AI datasets "
