I’m not sure how much more useful that is than just using HN’s automatic ranking for comments, at least outside of parent comments on posts; As far as I can tell, child comments are always ORDER BY score DESC.
Even for top level comments, HN’s algorithm for ranking is pretty useful for assigning “worth”
On posts there's an attempt to suface later comments (with fewer points) so the comment section isn't dominated by earlier posts.
Ordering by score DESC only gives you relative point information, not absolute. Theres additional signal if the top comment has 100 points vs only having 3 (and the bottom post also having 100 vs 1).
People bookmark stuff. Random systems (including ones you don’t own) have hardcoded urls. Best to pay for it forever since it’s so low of a cost and someone taking over your past domain could lead to users getting duped.
That's all fine but especially for a news site with millions of visitors (that also generates over 1B in profit a year) I expect Disney to screen ai content with a team of editors to ensure it at least meets a quality standard even if it's basic information.
Most C-levels have performance-based stock packages as their main compensation.
Which is why I'm saddened by this article not having any actual data (like others have said). It would be useful to have a study that analyzes the overall landscape of performance-based versus non-performance-based compensation, the share of CEO comp that is or isn't performance-based, how often C-level is awarded for good performance when the employees aren't, etc.
Instead it reads like an opinion piece with a study linked that doesn't back up their claims and just tells us the cumulative amount of stock buybacks.

The biggest problem with the default Flux model is that it generates images with that strong AI look, probably caused by the distillation of the CFG. You should try some LoRAs for this, and also prompt the model to generate the rack that holds the letters.
Good point. I have a comfyui setup for it but its super basic right now just the diffusion model / clip loader / vae. Another thing you've probably noticed is that 99% of images from Flux tend to have that classic narrow depth of field look. I've seen people occasionally be able to get around it with pretty amusing prompt tokens like "instagram photo, selfie, gopro, etc." though.
The number markings on the Scrabble pieces are nonsensical, the wooden ground looks like plastic, there are strange artifacts like the white smudge on the edge of the “E” tile in the front, and so on.
AI-generated images are clearly identifiable as such, and it just gets annoying to continually see those desultory fabrications.
Once again i would like eastdakota to respond to this sales tactic. Surely this can't be a double-digit driver for revenue to where he must stay silent on it.
Roblox is a hit and that's what they wanted to replicate: you would be able to take items from game to game, but in reality that doesn't happen since 9 times out of 10 it would clash with the game's art style or reduce the value of the game's own cosmetics. Being able to create marketplace-style item trading would be a big cash cow (see: steam's fee on marketplace sales).
But it's obvious why it's mostly under 18 who play it and spend money on the hats specifically to look cool or to impress others. At a certain point you realize there's not much value in it unless you enjoy specifically seeing those hats yourself whenever you use the product.
In addition, roblox a third-person game, so you see your own character constantly - while a lot of value is lost in a first-person title without getting creative (e.g. weapon skins in shooters).
