It's hilarious to me that someone linking to less wrong isn't rational enough to know that reddit markup doesn't work on hacker news. Somehow, the rationality never much further than discussing fictional AI scenarios.
- jamesaguilar 12y agoRationality and knowledge are related, but not equivalent, as you seem to believe.
- tedks 12y agoQuite not, but as it's written on less wrong, absence of evidence is evidence of absence, and I don't think the comment parent has ever seen a hyperlinked phrase on HN.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoReddit markup? What specifically in the post is 'Reddit markup'? Looks like plain old Markdown and/or CommonMark to me.

Thus, the use of a Markdown-style link in the present context is not a mistake. Moreover, even if it were, it wouldn't justify your smug and snarky tone, which you would do well to avoid in the future.
