   Maybe also who you'd tend to get along with and your unique place in the community?

   It's a topic we keep coming back to, seems like we can do better than sentiment analysis to show the semantic space of the sentiment(s) and how those breakdown by users and groups. For instance assuming a large discussion set of apples

   Thank you for being so clear on where we are failing you. We're basically computing your semantic space as compared to the whole community. The map shows the relevant instances in that space. As you browse your concepts the space cha

   Thanks so much! How do you see that study playing out in metrics that we can measure and examine?

   We're trying to stay away from karma for that reason and focus on what people are saying within the community to find trusted voices. How can we do better?

    Thanks for the feedback. How can we better support authenticity and trusted voices, where you fit in, and others like you?

    Great call out! Would it help to make the points more interactive?

    Thanks dang! Amazing to me how much HN brought Wilson and I together after 16 years and across the world. We're hopeful about the future of trust on the internet exactly because of communities like HN.

    Thanks! Those are fair points. We're thinking we could uplevel the social layer so you can connect with people of similar interests for deeper connections. In this way we compute not just your contributions but how they relate to other

    As Wilson and I are working on this project, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

    I did. It’s not about weed but derivatives.

    Molecules don’t equal the subjectivity of different strains, terpenes, THC levels, etc.

    Clickbait, not weed but THC and CBD derivatives that when combined can approximate the subjective feeling of being “high”.

    No sleep or stress with heart rate seems like a missed opportunity. The games to help kids move is interesting but if a distraction in school more trouble than it’s worth.

    I’m surprised this comment isn’t higher, looking at the history, it seems ripe for the same type of breakdown.

    Can someone help me to understand why Google employees think they have some sort of first amendment rights there? Is it the culture / history of “do no evil” or the employees there feel especially privileged? Just seems like such a bas

    Like saying robots will never reach human-level dexterity. Might be true, but so what? AIs and robots will significantly advance what’s possible and in unpredictable ways, just like any technology in the last 30 years.

    Imagine if MSFT didn’t allow iPods on Windows or took 30% of every song sold in iTunes. Crazy how much we’ve been collectively gaslit. Apple helped the anti-trust case against MSFT.

    This comparison to Windows and MSFT is really interesting. And it is really crazy how much we’ve accepted from Apple regarding lock-in. I’m impressed that the Apple Watch made it in the lawsuit exactly because it feels like a niche product

    I do think it’s notable that (a) the iPod is what really pushed Apple off the brink and into the mainstream, setting them on the path that got them to be the biggest tech company in the world and (b) the iPod really took off once Windows u
