Literally (explicitly) a holocaust denier. https://youtu.be/o2Nq--qU9Kc?si=DDs_73ZrEPs5UGK9&t=3684 No credentials whatsoever - IIRC a Bachelor's degree in English, but definitely not a professorship.

Are these not the 'friction can be ignored' assumptions of economics? They are, of course, blatantly false. But that doesn't stop such models from effectively modelling real-world behavior. Granted, I know a slight bit about

I'm always surprised when people suggest using a different language if you want typing in Python. Python's (second?) largest appeal is probably its extensive ecosystem. Whenever people suggest just changing languages, I wonder if

I personally don't see downloadability as a significant factor in the morality of breaching security. If it's bad to hack a login screen to gain access to private information, why wouldn't it be bad to hack encryption to do t

Similar story here. Goes to show how effective brainwashing kids as an advertisement technique is.

Googling "Cantillon Effect" gives suprisingly few results. Out of the top five results, two are Bitcoin-related, one is Reddit, and one is the Wikipedia page of Richard Cantillon himself. The top comment on /r/AskEconomi

There needs to be a path to redemption, yes, but this very clearly isn't it.

The corruption of the tech/'hacker' subculture has been so disheartening to watch. Is this the subculture that was obsessed with cyberpunk? It took so little, too: good (but not great) salaries, mediocre tech, and a small amo

Exactly. Linux is great but never actually 'low maintenance'. I personally felt like my OS needed frequent attention.

This illustrates to me how amazing LLMs are at 'remembering' _extremely_ obscure information. Somehow LLMs can repeat mistakes made a couple times looooooong ago.

I'll give a somewhat simpler answer than Filligree has. The problem with renewable energy sources is that they are typically both highly variable and not dispatchable (i.e., controllable). The former leads to supply peaks that can exce

Indeed. For instance, power grids ideally operate with N-1/N+1 redundancy, i.e., the disablement of any single power line should not cause a cascading failure.

Since so many commenters here have bad experiences, I'll provide a counterweight. I've made numerous edits and have run into little to no resistance. I'm sure asking people on a forum does not evoke a representative response.

You're absolutely correct and it's ridiculous that HN can't fathom that a hallucination, in both the traditional and LLM sense, is not characterized by its form or content per se but by the fact that the form or content is in
