For me personally, two things: 1) Just switching to the new thing because any forum of communication that's been around long enough and becomes big enough becomes corrupted and infiltrated and ruined and HN seems to be at that tipping

What's the name for this logical fallacy? The last few months the trend has been that every single problem that affected a Boeing plane in any way, 99.9% of which are maintenance issues, are blasted far and wide all over HN, Reddit, ma

Let's see .. 1) Throughout most of high school, college, and years after college I smoked weed. I thought it was great, it made me feel good. I'd emphasise with posts on Reddit and such about how the "evil man was keeping us

I believe it's essentially a major filter, as it requires a certain (relatively low) level of intelligence to develop the internet / mass communication, but requires a much higher level of intelligence to actually survive it witho

Is it intentional that so many people are confusing/conflating teams in India labeling data for input to a machine learning algorithm vs. teams in India watching you shop in real time? It's the former. That's how machine lear

I wonder how much they paid Tom Brady to be their spokesperson. They decided to market their EVs by just having a celebrity act cool/funny. Not by, you know, telling the customer why it's a good value, or why to choose their vehic

To put numbers to it, according to google there's a gravity strength max discrepancy of 0.7% between the places with the lowest and highest gravity on the planet. Assuming using ~17g of beans for a coffee, that comes out to an error of

This drove me crazy at previous companies where our build system dependencies were specified with wildcards so they would just auto pull in the latest version whenever you built the project. Not only are there security issues with that, as

The AI fever feels a lot to me like all the other fevers, most recently in particular around Bitcoin and how its proponents claimed all sorts of things: it was going to be worth millions, and all stores would switch to bitcoin and the popul

I'd rather the product not exist in the first place if their business model is unsustainable and requires them to eventually enshitify after they've lured people into using it.

You can find basically exact duplicate of stories like this from multiple years ago. Similar type of claim in the headline, similar type of article that praises some particular company that plans to deploy driverless trucks soon. The compan

I find it so insane that people think the major VPN providers aren't all completely compromised one way or the other. As if you're really going to be able to just pass your traffic through such a business and they're going to

You believe that no other factor explains the difference better? The reason is "incompetent police"? Why did the US not have the same problem in the past? You would explain it as somehow, across the entire country, all police, at

The most relevant point to the headline is the claim that large grocers unfairly raised prices more than they had to. Well, if you pull up the report, it says "This study did not test whether the specific companies that received 6(b) O

Man the propaganda flies so fast, I don't know how we're going to survive the internet. Maybe instead of just shoveling the propaganda forward you could back up your wild claim with data? What are the odds of dying by flying in th

The recent Boeing situation is that there's literally lottery ticket odds of dying in a Boeing plane and it's still, by far, the safest form of travel. What point are you trying to make?

The hate and humiliation campaigns are so interesting. I've seen and read hours and hours of Loeb's commentary and he's never once made any hard claims. He proposes interesting hypotheses that could explain data, and then goe

The "study" the article is based on is pretty laughable. It's nearly 100 pages of nothing but corpo-DEI-jargon. They never actually include any of the data that they're analyzing, they conveniently just "summarize&q

Ah yes, a white collar CEO at a private US company just decided one day that his company was going to start committing felonies and sending swarms of drones to accost a US military installation. And the CEO ordered everyone involved to be s

This is a topic I really just don't understand. I've seen dozens and dozens of articles about it in the last couple of years. The only two possibilities I see are either 1) people actually care about this issue, an issue which I&#

If you forcefully confiscated every single penny of net worth every single billionaire citizen has, every single last penny, and distributed it across the population, it would amount to a one time payment of something like 2,000 to everyone

There's probably 1000 major aviation incidents each year, every year, for many decades. We're submitting Hacker News articles on every one now? Why? We never did before.
