Yeah, I am not sure it's actually the being aware part, it's the pressure to performatively take a stand - "upvote this comment to change the world" sort of stuff, which turns into "you're a bad person for not

I agree, it seems like they were trying to come up with the most expensive way to answer the question possible for some reason. And why was the finding in the end to upgrade M1 users to more expensive M3s when M2s were deemed sufficient?

I think it's both true that the world is rudderless (or maybe there are million different rudders all turning in different directions) and there are also powerful technologies that motivated people can use to do awful things. A real wi

I actually meant for creating entirely new open source projects, but that wasn't clear. Updated the description.

I'm not sure but I wouldn't call it satisfying the heuristic being discussed here as evidence of a psyop. > When the public opinion becomes nigh uniform. When near 99% of everybody agrees. When you see them mouthing the same ca

You'd be surprised to find how many people have the same stance as you, it's nowhere near a <1-3% view indicating a psyop has occurred using this heuristic.

Mask wearing never hit anywhere near 99 percent, did it? A party with about 50% of the vote even largely defined themselves as being against it.

by j4yav 3y ago
They are more like 50 though? Unless you break them up into groups (political parties oriented around being for/against a topic may be quite well aligned in their views, but it's almost a tautology - you can probably divide people

Why sell them when you carry them with you to your grave?

Sure, but there are lots of good science content creators out there and I'd rather just watch one where I don't have to worry about it. The Waymo video is over the top credulous, even for something they were being paid to review.

Some product managers will really jump through incredible hoops to avoid actually directly talking to their customers. The problem is the insight is often in the subtle things that happen surprisingly in a conversation - it's not a mas

Out of curiosity what is it? Neither the store link or this one seem to explain. Is it some kind of citations tracking system? A pdf editor? I'm not sure what the features add up to in total.

Current Audi is.. fine? But still Android Auto is better. It would be hard to beat because my car is not going to be as integrated.

Is this an Effective Altruism thing, or some other Silicon Valley trend? The amount of times I've seen it suggested that non-productive members or society should be euthanized on HN is so much higher than I would have ever thought it w

Maybe? It sounded to me like it was in the context of them being a financial burden, like you should want to off yourself once you become expensive for society, or it's a bad strategy to keep existing if you're going to be poor or

The original comment said that every generation lives longer than the one that came before, and then gp said that that was a lie that keeps being repeated and is only infant mortality improving. Someone then replied with data showing that l

But how does that make it completely wrong and a lie?

Just because nobody else seems to want them doesn't mean they should have to kill themselves.

Wow! I think I first used this wm 25 years ago and they are still not even close to 1.0. Does anyone know what version number scheme they are using? Is it actually +0.01 per year, or is that just a happy coincidence?

Fake things can definitely look fake, I think, or am I missing the distinction you are drawing here? I don't understand what you are correcting me on, but I'm curious. I'm aware there's no color in the black and white or

Ha, exactly. As I was finishing writing that I was thinking "just like the average HN commenter" but figured it was still worth mentioning.
