You’ve misrepresented the core of your argument. Wikipedia on dark forest hypothesis: “The "dark forest" hypothesis presumes that any space-faring civilization would view any other intelligent life as an inevitable threat…” > n

You have no idea what you even did wrong. What you need to do is call up your friends and have them mock interview you, there's even free platforms and exchanges where you can do that. Get some actual feedback, don't act on wild c

I’ve never seen so much misinformation trotted out by the laity as I have with LLMs. It’s like I’m in a 19th century forum with people earnestly arguing that cameras can steal your soul. These people haven’t a clue of the mechanism.

Does this headline need to state it is an opinion? I didn't see this as a "fact" anywhere in TFA.

This is called nemawashi in Japanese. Plenty of literature exists on it (if you look for that term).

Exactly. Also, people keep forgetting that Youtube doesn't just make money from ads. They also continue to introduce new revenue generating features such as the recent tips model.

I don’t know. I searched for how many chapters a popular manga has on Google and it gave me the wrong answer (by an order of magnitude). I only found out later and it did really piss me off because I made a trek to buy something that never

First, this is just a pervasive myth. Not that Google doesn’t operate money losing services: Blogger is a good example of that. Second, “if Google can’t make it work no one can” is also a myth. YouTube, even the idea of which came after G

It’s certainly bad enough that you shouldn’t be able to enter a room with an operational MRI machine just like that, as a normal guest with no training and no escort. One cheap RFID reader could have saved a life here.

"AI" already contributes "substantially" to "scientific discovery". It's a very safe statement to make, whereas "full self-driving" has some concrete implications.

I like to use em-dashes as well (option-shift-hyphen on my macbook). I've seen people try to prompt LLMs to not have em-dashes, I've been in forums where as soon as you type in an em-dash it will block the submit button and tell

In this very thread people are discussing “superintelligence” being around the corner. So yes, it is overhyped. Like if I took the invention of a steam engine and said teleportation is coming tomorrow. Of course the steam engine was revolut

You’d have to change comp across the board. No one is going to want some draconian lock-in package when the other guy across the street makes a king’s ransom in a quarter. “Ratchet, ratchet, and bingo,” as they say.

I really like that the testimonials are linked directly to the Github accounts of the contributors. I've seen a lot of websites where it's questionable at best whether the people reviewing the product even exist. It's also in

This is highly reminiscent to me of this case. [0] The co-pilot accidentally hit the wrong switch and then quietly corrected his mistake later, without resetting the previous switch (which led to feathering). [0] https://en.wikip

The show "boys over flowers" is translated from 花より男子, ostensibly a correct translation. But 男子 (boys) is a homophone of 団子 (a sweet dumpling) and the entire phrase 花より団子 is an aphorism for preferring practicality over aesthetics.

This reminds me of Mary Anderson [0], who invented the windshield wiper so early that her patent expired by the time Cadillac made them standard equipment. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anderson_(inventor)

You should temper that observation with the realization that this particular thread is under a microscope. The HN mods moderate less when YC companies are involved, but somewhat ironically that actually requires more of their attention,

I wasn’t surprised by the pushback. This isn’t like responding to a pseudonymous HN comment opting into a discussion, they are talking about specific people and posting pointedly mean-spirited remarks towards a party that has not opted to
