> as seen when researchers try to tempt dieters with chocolate and smokers with cigarettes This sounds so unethical. If I were a dieter or ex-smoker I would definitely not sign up for this sort of study.

I know it's hard to give new ideas a chance in today's internet, where our attention spans are constantly attacked. Despite the hostility of our systems, please try to persevere with this presentation. I believe there are some nov

Locally-hosted software is definitely important in the short term, but I think that distributed software will be enough in the long term. When everything is public, then there won't be the same risks associated with using networked sof

Using Google Docs isn't ideal, and I didn't want to. However, I believe that the time has come that "ordinary people" (i.e. not HN readers) need to get interested in open source. I needed a solution that would be familia

Speaking as the initial author: you are correct on all counts (though I think _lying_ is a bit harsh, we've been around the internet). Despite its appearance, it wasn't actually generated by GPT. I put a lot of work into this. Bas

You're right. It sucks. I think I might have stumbled on the impossible miracle passive income technique you're referring to, though. I'm trying to get some traction, but it's hard because of virality filters. Please cou

Indeed. Unfortunately the article lost me when I saw the graph of "extent to which you consider second order and subsequent consequences" vs "odds of success".

There's balance to be had. Keeping everything inside isn't healthy either.

I usually assume that I can't take sales people at face value. If it's a badge of honour, they're incentivised to say that they don't work hard even if they are in fact actually working hard (this includes pretending to

It's a pretty good first order approximation. If you've written 400 daily poems and it doesn't seem to be having a positive effect, then it's certainly time to stop. If it's going well, then fair enough, you do you.

This is a small thing, but one of the first sentences in the documentation you linked is "At least I have never thought about API dependencies before building WunderGraph." It makes the problem seem small, as if you can get away w

I completed it in 11 moves and assumed that that was the minimum.
