   How is age verification going to make it any better? The internet is already segregated by age groups. The kids are on tiktok and discord, snapchat. You're not talking to any of them on HN or even Reddit.

   Ask recent grads what they would think about a janitor position for $55,000 a year (average U.S. living wage). My guess is the percent who would be happy with that? < 1%.

   What is a "fair" distribution of resources in your perspective, in general. Edit: Um okay, downvotes are quite telling.

    Does anyone else see the big flaw with the chess engine analogy? When AlphaZero came along it blew stockfish out of the water. Stockfish is a top engine now because besides that initial proof of concept there's no money to be made by

    People already go through hoops and live with it just fine. I don't claim to have the best solution but fundamentally its a social problem and therefore solvable. Perhaps some form of chain of trust.

    There is actually a really simple solution to this: auto reject PRs from people you dont know. If someone is new to the project, ask them to write an issue explaining the bug/feature and how they plan to address/implement it. Make

    I think its worth saying that its a gradation, some places are better than others with HN tending to the better. But fundamentally, I don't think large non-toxic forums exist. X optimizes for engagement and as studies have shown, that

    Right, try participating in one of those political discussions here and see what happens. Also using reddit as a baseline is like using a cesspool tank as a baseline of sanitation.

    > There are a lot of things I disagree with the majority on here Such as? Are any of those disagreements ideological?

    by aydyn 1y ago

    Sure if you agree with the majority you don't run into a lot of toxicity. But centering your ideological bubble is its own form of toxicity that is enabled by the internet.

    Absolutely. Its funny when people on HN unironically claim this site to be a tiny miraculous exception.

    I agree. More succinctly, it confounds two types of results: a null result due to statistical noise (big error bars, experiment failure) and a null result where the null model is more likely (actually, the effect doesnt exist). Like many th
