After 13 years here, that's one of the biggest issues with the HN-expertee-comment-ism that is so widely remarked upon.
One person asserts a brutalist simplification about technology far outside their education and expertise.
Another, given the brutalist simplification, ties it to something within our common field.
Then, we have 1000s of people reading who are conditioned to spew optimism about "take room temperature superconductor[1] and cool it and lower the pressure and raise the temperature, tada!" and a false analogy like "doubting this would be like IBM failing to adopt [a commonplace technique] in semiconductor manufacturing"
[1] from where?
- wslh 3y agoIt seems you need to reread my comment and the well known book I referred to. Based on your answer It seems you don't have idea about what I am talking about.
- refulgentis 3y agoThis is the funniest aggro answer I've gotten on any site in many years. Reading a book on IBM/Japan will not make the analogy built on sand become built on concrete. I'm not complaining about IBM/Japan, I'm complaining about room temperature superconductors. Also no one will read a book to make sense of a short comment
