not linking primary sources is one of my biggest pet peeves with modern ad-driven “journalism”. e.g. the recent Mark Kelly story, I went through many articles trying to find a link to the actual video of what he said. couldn’t find it headl

FWIW I do agree with the operational agency at scale bit and I’m always fascinated by these conspiracy theories, was genuinely hoping to get one (but also happy to see you’re challenging your own position). the idea of people coordinating o

Quarto also supports this: https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/ not sure if Quarto-specific but it lets you have Python code is slides too which is nice, i.e. can directly use visualization libraries

2 points: 1) downvotes: you’re the one insinuating HN commenters (and presumably voters) are idiots; I’m not sure that I should care if I’m downvoted while correct. and regardless, doesn’t seem like I’m very downvoted (rather the opposite)

yep! it’d be hard, but we’re already at most people nodding their head when you say “social media is addictive, detrimental to individual mental health, and overall negative for society” you just got to get enough people to nod at “…and thi

you’re just doing ad hominems and strawmans. I’m not suggesting banning anything other than digital advertisement. you’re not open to having a productive discussion about it, just misdirection and whataboutism please stop ascribing intent I

so is it a pitchfork idea? I want Mark’s head? or it’s impractical? you’ve changed your apprehension to my idea twice in two comments constitutional roadblock…to banning digital advertisement? please do explain! I didn’t claim it’s easy to

by dkdcio 11mo ago
literally the opposite of a pitchfork idea; quite simple, relatively easy to implement, and immediately effective. incentives from advertising is the underlying issue with the addictive nature of these platforms (and much more)

if two parties put up $1,000,000 each and I get a large cut I’ll do the work! one commenter already wagered $1,000, which I’d easily win, but I suspect this would take me idk at least a few days of work (not worth the time). and, again, for

by dkdcio 11mo ago
my point is using AI is distinct from from the quality of blog posts. these frequent baseless, distracting claims of AI use are silly this wager is a thought exercise to demonstrate that. want to wager $1,000,000 or think you’ll lose? if yo

by dkdcio 11mo ago
why? LLM/AI use doesn’t denote anything about style or quality of a blog, that’s the point — and why this type of commentary all of HackerNews and elsewhere is so annoying. obviously if a million dollars are on the line I’m going to do

by dkdcio 11mo ago
the problem is it’s a lot of work (not actually worth it for me for a thousand dollars) — but you cannot win just one scenario, I write 100 rather short, very similar blog posts. run 50 through Claude Code with instructions “copy this file”
