I see, it's all or nothing for you then?

Can you explain to me right here? I'm dumb.

Are you trying to drag this into a "capitalism bad" narrative? If I were to conform to your suggestion, I could be easily mistaken by some person who was convinced by popular rethorics. I don't need to say this more than once

Don't make it personal. It's not.

You're kidding right? My mind thrives under gaslight.

Why am I on the side that thinks Reddit has become a mess? Gamification strategies, like medals and paid goodies, polluted its points system. That whole fiasco trying to come up with NFT avatar pictures, it was an especulation shot in the d

I understand your frustration. I just don't share the same feeling.

AI is psychologically dangerous. It's the greater risk. It can influence people do to things. The environment talk is perhaps relevant, but if eventually AI becomes ecologically friendly, then people who are against it would be left wi

It's a bitter take, but your comparison with JWST is invalid. The main product of the telescope is its data, not the ability for anyone to play with the instruments. The main product of the model is the ability for anyone to play with

It seems that you're approaching this from a "mature" standpoint against a perceived "truth at all costs" standpoint, which is commonplace. Although a little bit more verbose, you're answer could be summed up t

You seem to be approaching the question as something related to censorship. That's not what I meant. From a less legalese definition of "The Press", and a more of a social function one, what do you think? Let's assume a

If I rephrased your comment as you saying that "It is entirely up to the reader to decide if things on HN can be trusted or not", would you agree with that statement? In light of that interpretation, can you say the same about the

How is HN different from a niche magazine about a specific subject? I mean, I know some differences, but you hinted at something that I think deserves more exposition.

There you go, your answer indicates that you see it as beyond the press and aimed to replace it ("beyond it's traditional definition"). My question is tricky (in a good sense). I want to get people involved in the discussion

I understand where you're basing your description. It's like you're describing it in pieces (sources, writers, etc). Perhaps I should have been more inquisitive. Would you say that HN serves the same social purpose as the pre

by alganet 1y ago
Can you elaborate? It is unclear if you see it as a press-wannabe that doesn't quite live up to expectation, or if you see it as something beyond press that is meant to replace it.

Would you trust HN as a source of information?

Why did you focused on a simple example and missed the point?

In your opinion, having an enhanced memory is the same as "remembering everything"? I don't doubt that there are documented cases of that, but I'm trying to be more open minded about what it means (doesn't mean you

Maybe there is some ME (Mandela Effect) in the perception of what Windows ME was (pun intended). I used it (Windows ME, not Mandela Effects), but I wasn't knowledgeable enough to understand what caused the kernel crashes and instabilit

You have knowledge about the decimal system without ever had to learned it? Makes no sense. Seems like you're trying to make an implied distinction about things we learn naturally and things we read and rehearse. Ultimately, you'r

So, you believe then?

by alganet 1y ago
I guess you answered the question (you don't believe in it), but I find "ability to remember" a poor description for what such skill might actually be. For example, the ability to recognize that something is not remembered

Windows 98 Special Edition had a lot of new tech and it was cool and stable. I wonder which stuff you are thinking when you say this. Which tech do you have in mind?

I find it surprising that people here in HN find Inanna's myth so otherwordly.
