I wrote this in response to one of the reviews, so I'll share it with you since you asked. :-) I worked on an ARPA-funded speech understanding project in the 1970's at SDC--it was definitely driven by military interests. One time

Sorry, but nothing you have said here is true or makes sense. Multi worlds are universes, not worlds within our universe. The multiworld interpretation is one of several interpretations of quantum mechanics of the exact same evidence--one o

Yeah, it didn't confuse sensible people who are capable of putting themselves in someone else's shoes. I did a Small Web search at Marginalia and was immediately pointed to sites that claim that I and everyone in my political part

Right? "I had this one contingent experience and I've built my entire world view and set of practices around it."

Indeed. Two years after the assassination I wrote a paper on it for a summer school history class. I researched in the local public library, where I read a bunch of magazine articles and Mark Lane books, blissfully unaware of ideological ag

Right? But it's now HN policy ... look at how many of kindkang2024's comments are dead.
528.
by jibal 7mo ago
Yes, but HN is dominated by the latter aggressively irrational folks. Look at how many of kindkang2024's comments with perfectly reasonable content are dead--the nuttiness has infiltrated mod policy.

This is apparently a RW projection zone. You won't get anywhere with these people.

by jibal 7mo ago
So much projection here from RWers, as usual. I will bow out of this, due to the massive levels of intellectual dishonesty and bad faith.

Dozens of innocents (5% of 1250 = 63) killed "extrajudicially" (i.e., illegally) by the drones that are the subject of the article, and those deaths were dismissed by the rationalization in the comment they replied to.

> And yes, this whole piece was a sneaky way to get you to read my SixGate proposal. Too sneaky, apparently. I suggest putting something at the top mentioning it ... then even folks with very short attention spans will see it.

It also makes sense in non-contrived scenarios ... the contrivance was just pedagogical.

Not a single discussion here of his SixGate proposal (but many mischaracterizations of IPv4x as a "proposal", when it was rather an alternate history). So HN.

But it DID contribute to the conversation ... it corrected an error/misunderstanding. If I didn't think I was contributing, I wouldn't have commented. You seem to have a different ethic. I won't comment further, as we ar

The comment is actually by https://stats.stackexchange.com/users/107126/vishal ... Joseph Greenpie made the last edit to it.

by jibal 7mo ago
What I see is massive intellectual dishonesty, like this comment that doesn't engage with my actual points and instead attacks strawmen. I won't comment further.

What's sad is that there's so much of that at this site. This page in particular is a disaster, and what we're actually seeing a lot of at HN is claims that real humans are bots. And the people who make these accusations are
