There is, but, for example, the cult member accused of murdering the landlord isn't trans. So transness isn't intrinsic to the cult, and the violence also isn't related to trying to fight for/against anything to do with

For what it's worth, there's a thriving liberal rationalist-adjacent community on Twitter that despises people like Roko.

I do not support the runner of the racket (Trump). The victims of the racket who are forced to comply are who I'm sympathizing with. I don't support the mafia, but I sympathize with the local store that pays the mafia its racket d

Not that poster, but I think both are equally fine. It's funny if OpenAI were to complain about this, but at least on Twitter I don't see that much whining about it from OpenAI employees. Sam publicly praised DeepSeek. I do see so

IMO it probably is and Altman probably still (rightly) hates Trump. He's playing politics because he needs to. I don't really blame him for it, though his tweet certainly did make me wince.

Although I dislike him now glazing Trump, I understand why he's doing it. Trump runs a racket and this is part of the game. One of my most contrarian positions is I still like and support Altman, despite most of the internet now hating

A new terminal emulator popular on HN that advertises its minimal typing latency.

I've tried Zed and Ghostty and I just don't really get the speed thing. Typing latency is extremely unnoticeable in VS Code/Cursor and other Electron apps for me.

They'll probably (justifiably) try to ban Xiaohongshu, too, if it gets anywhere near TikTok's reach in the US market.

This spin is so good that you should be a defense attorney.

Both threads seem to share a similar sentiment: he should not serve much time for the drug marketplace but should for the murders-for-hire. There's just a difference in how many people believe those allegations and to what extent they

The judge factored it into the sentencing, though. He likely did actually try to hire a contract killer - twice. In both cases he sincerely believed the murders were successfully committed, and he sent a lot of money to the assassins after

Satoshi's possible home IP address actually did leak shortly after Bitcoin's release, though it wasn't realized until years later. (It definitely may not be him and might instead be a random early user. But I think there&#x27

I would bet money almost no public meme groups are monitored by any intelligence agencies. And the few that are mostly only are just in the sense of being casually co-opted by state-sponsored trolls with almost no attention from actual inte

While these are all valid, I'm surprised it doesn't include "it's possible Hacker News userbase demographics have shifted over the past 12 years" as an additional contributing factor.

Which is funny because ChatGPT was sort of a random experiment and not like a planned attempt at a huge product launch.

The problem isn't that they're scary or compelling but that they bring discourse down to its basest level once they comprise a certain proportion of the environment. Imagine if 90% of HN threads were mostly just discussion about i

In this case the potentially infringed parties would be YouTube creators, who in most cases are not corporations or backed by them. (I myself personally happen to think it's fine to train a commercial AI on content from the internet li

The funny thing is that if you filter by the most active posters, I believe Twitter now very possibly (I'd even say likely) has a higher ratio of far-right posters than 4chan /b/ currently does.

I've sometimes seen people attack early returns and I've never understood it. To me they make things so much cleaner that it seems like common sense.

It's mostly porn nowadays but through some chain of events, /b/ actually is ideologically one of the most normal boards on the site now. Not even kidding. Many - probably most - other boards are majority Trumpists or neo-Nazi

by meowface 2y ago
I am a liberal and also genuinely find many 4chan boards less politically awful than current Twitter most of the time. The chronological sorting at least offers some diversity of opinion. The first 50 replies to a 4chan thread about Trump (

For what it's worth, I agree with the other comments that you should drop this idea and pivot. Not nearly enough people care about this. My advice is to run some other thing and just - as a gift to yourself and a somewhat silent gift t

Correct. It behaves like JavaScript and many other languages. You can't modify such variables in the outer scope from the inner scope unless you explicitly use the "nonlocal" declaration.
