I found this to be an interesting article with background on the fund and details of the actual sale that were missing from other conversations on HN I had already read. It was surprising to see an empty HN comment section before I realized

AI hype aside, this is one of those projects I'd like to know the open source stack of and the academic research behind. It's actually overlaps with an idea that started circling around in my head back when (deep) neural networks

This is the phenomenon originally named "fake news" in the US during the 2016 elections. As in the comments that YouTube exposé you linked, despite what the evidence in the original investigations showed there were lots of accusat

They were always the most likely buyer if you were paying attention. I admit to being pretty disappointed at the confirmation though. Blue Origin would of done just fine without this merger and 3+ companies competing for US space launches i

The inability of wrist trackers to identify deep vs light sleep might cause frustration to some, but their automated sleep journaling is actually more than enough to help change the lives of people with insomnia. For some reason we had to s

I'm pretty skeptical of the given reason of “cost growth stemming from evolving Lunar Gateway architecture and mission requirements combined with macroeconomic challenges". IMO this is more indicative of Northrop not having the ne

I was confused by this post because I'd never heard of a Fort Detrick before but I found these articles explain well what's happening: [1] Domestic propaganda push in china is leaking externally, including posts by a non-existing

The most incredible factoid for me: These machines, the Smartmatic machines, weren't even really used in the election. >Smartmatic technology was used only in Los Angeles County, California in the 2020 election. The system we provid

Not every server is useful for gathering intelligence on a nation either it seems. Thinking about it, if you want secret information by definition only a tiny fraction of the networks out there are going to have it— anything most of them ha

I guess I don't see that much of a difference between someone picking what are the best articles, news and videos to show by hand and someone designing an algorithm to do the same function. Their organization still has responsibility e

Not a German, but my read is that the German Government badly wants this factory to be a success so Germany can get a toehold and not be left behind by the change to EVs over the next couple of decades. When you take into account how much e

How does an article about military recruitment for voluntary enlistment share the core story of a children's book where the main character is drafted? I find it hard to imagine more different themes. In Ender's Game, the main char

You took the post from right under by fingers. The Rise and Fall of American Growth by Robert J. Gordon makes the exact same point but gets there via analysis of where Americans are spending money for food. Since the 70s we've more tha

Interesting, I feel like the Author is describing what a well done Visual Novel does in their critics of the whole Adventure Game Genre. To summarize lazily: "remove the stupid puzzles and just take the reader on a wild ride for a coup

A Just-So story cannot be a hypothesis since a good hypothesis must be testable for actual science to be done later. In contrast, a Just-So story will never be followed up on and simply exists to supply an easy to digest explaination for a
