Possibly to test reactions to a bot they plan to build a startup around. I've seen some claim they do it to avoid stylometry or being fingerprinted, or because of social anxiety problems. Some people just have a compulsive need to opti

David Grusch is such an obvious grifter at this point, it's shocking that anyone takes him seriously. People swore that he was vouched and vetted and his honor and integrity was unimpeachable. But he's just doing the same swin

I think Show HN has been closed off to new users in an attempt to gatekeep it against slop entries and that's why the quality has increased. And I think "how it is arrived at," in other words, the art of code, is what HN is

Why are we assuming China is too gullible to know this technology can never work, when it's so obvious to the lay HN commentariat?

You're being downvoted but honestly the "everyone is twelve now" meme explains our collective societal dysfunction perfectly. There's no point to complexity or subtlety in art anymore, or even any kind of symbolism at al

Everyone is going to recommend their favorite framework. I'll throw my hat in for Godot, but really any framework will do. Although I think it depends on whether she wants to learn to make games, or to be a programmer. If you're u

Sure it would. No matter how many people see, say, Shpongle on their timeline, they're never going to be mainstream. No one is going to be talking about 空夜coo:ya in the same conversation as Taylor Swift or Bruno Mars. Being slightly mo

And no one is stopping them. But they don't have the right not to be ridiculed, and I suspect a lot of people ridiculing them are fellow Christians. It's not as if anyone is going to chain them by their ankles to the back of a tru

Because they won't leave others alone in peace. Because they work to enshrine their religious dogma into law and enforce it with violence.

So what? Either it appeals to my interests or it doesn't. Why should I care if a million other people get it recommended as well?

How much of this was made with AI? If these games are open source, where are the links to the source code? Where are the credits? The license?

I don't know. Obviously a certain personality type considers government to be an all-encompassing evil (which is the Cold-War era fear the conspiracy theories of the X-Files drew from) but in the modern day corporations (particularly t

I think the big mistake the X-Files made was trying to solve its own lore. The mystery was what made the show work. The more it explained, the less interesting it became.

I feel like I'm the only person who didn't really vibe with Firefly. I usually like the "space Western" motif but Firefly was so broad and over the top with it that it just seemed silly to me.

They're going to, because there is no property that will not be milked for nostalgia. Although honestly, it could work if they played into the cynicism and uncertainty of the modern UFO phenomenon. If the "conspiracy" is a ha

Yes, when you intentionally take what leftists say in bad faith and stereotype them negatively, then the bad faith interpretation and negative stereotypes make sense. But normal people don't hear "communism" when leftists say

Biden is guilty of being a Democrat in the middle of a Republican putsch. If Trump had tried forgiving student loans it would have gone off without a hitch. Congress would have fallen in line and SCOTUS would have favored him. Everyone comp
