Ugh. HN used to have high quality comments. Now they don't even read the actual article and just comment on the click-baity headline.

  > Ugh. HN used to have high quality comments. Now they don't even read the actual article and just comment on the click-baity headline. What are you talking about? This is literally the first line: > For their latest magic trick, physicists have done the quantum equivalent of conjuring energy out of thin air So you see, the article does say that they got energy out of thin air. In fact, the first line is arguably the title, which is: > Physicists Use Quantum Mechanics to Pull Energy out of Nothing Which also says they pulled energy out of nothing. VERBATIM. So when you say I didn't read the article, maybe YOU didn't read the article?

    > Those who took a closer look, however, realized that Hotta was suggesting a subtly different quantum stunt. The energy wasn’t free; it had to be unlocked using knowledge purchased with energy in a far-off location. From this perspective, Hotta’s procedure looked less like creation and more like teleportation of energy from one place to another — a strange but less offensive idea. 6 sentences into the article.

      Obviously I'm not gonna read even 1 sentence past bullshit. So I maintain my original claim. quantamagazine used to be high quality, now they're publishing bullshit. They published bullshit in the title.

        Okay, but that means you didn't read the article and are just commenting on the title.

          The title is part of the article. So I didn't read the whole article, no. I read enough of it to understand it contains bullshit.

            Every response I can think of is inadequate. Bravo sir.
