This is why I think silicon carbide based chips are going to be a huge deal: you can run them hot enough that you can actually run a heat engine off of the chip's waste heat to recuperate some of the electricity you spent on computatio

Is California still experiencing rolling brownouts?

You're more than welcome to launch a competitor, but the vast majority of Silicon Valley balks at the idea of helping the US military.

Dang, it's your choice. We can all learn something from this small scale experiment and come out a little more well informed on HN's community dynamics, or we can let it grow into something larger. Again, totally up to you.

All of my comments have been made to break through the HN echo chamber, and if I can objectively demonstrate my hypothesis that lopsided moderation is reinforcing that same echo chamber, then the entire notion of the restrictions being due

In theory I agree wholeheartedly, however in practice HN consistently allows off-topic far left political spam while marking any attempts to combat it as a "flame war". This phenomenon is more than a psychological bias: it's

Dang, I watched you single out all of my comments, and then later go back for a second pass to flag the other posters too after you read my profile description, so as to preserve the illusion of impartiality. Calling my posts "flamewa

Undoubtedly someone somewhere is doing that, but I believe this is largely a form of social projection bias.

That was the messsage being blasted at max volume by CNN, NYT, WaPo, and the rest. They were outraged when the capitol police responded to far left insurrectionists setting the national mall on fire. So yes, it is safe to say that was a m

> And generally arresting looters and rioters seems quite popular on both sides of the political spectrum. I beg to differ. Any attempts to contain the mass violence were decried as "Trumpist fascism".

Reinforcement learning and adversarial training can render both of those concerns as non-issues in practice.

I don't believe it's fair to characterize the actions of a larger group based on those of a minority. We were repeatedly told that the summer 2020 protests were 93% peaceful, and that the fires, pipebombs, and shootings shouldn&#

Luckily, there are other means of performing computation than just silicon transistors.

I'm immunocompromised because of some medication I take, but I don't agree with the idea of the government forcing people to undergo a medical procedure. I'm fully vaccinated and I hope that others get vaccinated too, but ma

While I acknowledge that English is a living language and subject to change over time, I refuse to accept that "learnings" is a real word.

Unpopular opinion: it's not a social safety net if people stay on it as a lifestyle.

Agreed. Terrorism charges against antifa and affiliated "black bloc" extremist groups are long overdue.

Chasing after CEOs is a red herring. There should be more outrage directed at the financial institutions that really pull the strings.

Not all forms of discrimination fall along lines of race. You have no idea the kind of discrimination I have had to claw my life back from. Edit: During my schooling I developed a rare form of progressive vision loss. It also makes me ext

Hot take: the current state of anti-racism is increasingly indistinguishable from regular racism.

I deliberately post against the consensus on HN, and what you see is the result. I invite you to email Dang as I have, but I will not post the transcript of what began as a private conversation.

If you frequently vote against the prevailing opinion, then your votes get disabled and/or inverted. I have spoken with Dang about this multiple times to confirm. Some call it an echo chamber, others call it "consensus". T
