Can you elaborate on what 'twitfuckers' means in some nuance? If you're signed in you'd see threads, right? Do you think it's bad or unreasonable they try to fight against at least unsophisticated bots and mass scra

My reply here may be useful to you - where I mention Berard AIT (Auditory Integration Training) and my own experience with hearing difficulties, which I was able to solve with AIT at age 23 (now 41): https://news.ycombinator.com&

I'll first ask the question of do you remember if you had any ear infections as a child - and were they painful at all? It sounds like that audiologist still wasn't specialized enough - otherwise I feel like your story would have

Didn't think ad hominem was allowed on HN. E.g. debunk specific claims of his rather than baselessly mocking him or his presentation of the periodic table.

I'd prefer to see the spiral version of the Periodic Table being thoroughly discussed here on HN. It recently got a bunch of attention after Terrence Howard talked about it on Joe Rogan recently: https://www.youtube.com&#x2F

Isn't it then a weapon's race which will depend first on immediate CPU and energy resources available + how quickly it can drive further allocation of CPU-energy towards itself, etc? The end game will happen very quickly once the

Regulations will go something like this: 1) anything that can be harmful, say targeting of a population, isn't allowed to be owned or be accessed-available for the individual, 2) except for government and state-funded [bad] actors who

Which shouldn't necessarily instil confidence, as that technology isn't distributed and if a government was to become corrupted/captured and tyrannical, then the government would exclusively have access to that latest tech.

Thanks for linking. I suppose my base argument would be why not let each individual decide for themselves - whether HN is a "low trust" or "high trust" source to them? Over enough time with enough data, certain macro pat

I think the biggest risk with advanced AI is that it's captured [likely by bad actors under the guise of cover stories] and that it strays away from being as free market as is possible. E.g. I don't think there should be any paten

Or create a competitive environment between routers?

by loceng 2y ago
IMHO HN data should be transparent. The innovation on detecting patterns would be incredible, and in reality I think would be best to evolve into allowing user-decided algorithms that they personally subscribe to.

You'll have the conversation somewhere else then? Otherwise I'm confused why you'd qualify it with adding "here." And not sure why you're saying "sorry" either?

These aren't verdicts, so it goes to court-trial, and arguments will then be put forth. We have the Nuremberg Code now, where people including propagandists were hung simply because they should have known better - even though there wer

Does that mean you don't think shills are a significant-serious problem, or because you don't believe you can do anything about it then it's not important to you? E.g. If you consider it to be a problem, and there were possib

Can you state your point along with sharing that link please? I can't read minds - and I lean away from making assumptions.

dang, I think perhaps a rule should be added for users to not engage in "guilt by association", e.g. tptacek elsewhere made a comment that they flag posts simply because they're afraid there will be low quality comments in th

Substantive stories are allowed on HN - therefore it's not against the site guidelines, unless you think genocide/war crime charges being levied against Israel and Hamas' leaders is common run-of-the-mill, not once-in-a-lifet
