Quick update: My submission is now visible again even when I'm logged out. Maybe it was your vouch, or maybe others also checked it — either way, it's showing up normally now. Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated, and hope

Thanks for the detailed reply — that really helps. >Usually needs an old account to click 'vouch'. Good to know that silent filtering for new accounts does happen and that it often depends on someone vouching. I appreciate you

Thanks for the reply — I might have explained the situation poorly. Out of my five submissions, two are Ask HN posts (including this one), and two are links to my own writing. All four of those behaved normally, so I assumed self-links were

I’m talking about balance. Attention is finite. If someone is homeless or struggling, which do you think is more immediately useful to them: food, or a debate about future taxation frameworks? The obvious answer is both, but in the right pr

Would you be comfortable giving that answer to someone who’s homeless or financially stuck today? I wouldn’t — and that’s the whole point. We talk about tomorrow far more than we talk about what’s happening right in front of us. Quantum com

EUV was just an example — the broader point is that lithography capacity, wafers, gases, and fab-hours all get allocated across product lines. If GPUs generate dramatically higher margin per wafer-hour than SATA SSDs, fabs will re-shift cap

I understand the need to seed future debates early. My hesitation comes from the fact that most proposals implicitly assume a “fixed physical capability” for AI systems — something we don’t actually have yet. In practice, social impact won’

One protein fold is cute. How many H100s do you need to simulate one human cell? Probably more than the universe can power.

Whether or not every historical detail in the story is perfectly accurate, the pattern itself feels familiar. Tesla ended up as the name of a car company, and hardly anyone pauses to think about the scientist anymore. Some contributions suc

I’m not an expert, but VRAM and NAND seem to compete for the same upstream stuff — wafers, EUV steps, gases, fab time. If GPUs are printing money right now, cutting SATA SSD production feels like the easiest thing for a manufacturer to do.

If the UK is issuing environmental bonds while trying to position itself as a crypto-financial hub, it’s inevitable they’ll scrutinize mining. Burning massive amounts of energy for hash puzzles undermines the same climate commitments those

We should probably let actual full automation happen before debating whether it should be taxed. Worrying about a hypothetical T-1000 future seems less urgent than reducing the homelessness that exists right in front of us.

Thanks — I’ll read it tonight and become a cat in my sleep. Though I suppose I’ll need Scheherazade to guide me there first.

Writing the article was easy — getting a fresh HN account to a state where it could actually post was the hard part.

That makes sense from the moderators’ perspective. In any case, I was able to submit just a little while ago, so it seems to be resolved. Thanks for the explanation.

I think you’re operating with the right mindset. Looking at the linked story, the trigger seems to have come from redeeming a gift card bought at a major retailer. Even if the purchaser uses a legitimate store, the user can’t really know th

I didn’t realize there was a contact page — thanks for pointing it out. I’ll try reaching out to the moderators.

Thanks — in my case the link never gets posted at all. When I try to submit, I immediately get a ‘can’t submit this link’ message (not a dead post). So it fails before appearing anywhere in my profile. That’s why I was wondering if this is

I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to dream as a cat. I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream where my body actually changed shape. Being loved just for existing seems like a pretty solid evolutionary strategy.

Honestly, the whole thing feels too complex to trace cleanly. Even if you try to connect the history in a linear story, any missing piece makes the rest fall apart. If people have managed to live without using these substances so far, the o

Different countries still treat cannabis very differently, and that alone shows how unsettled the whole topic is. I don’t know the full historical reasoning behind the bans, but there must have been perceived downsides at the time. It feels

Gift cards carry a surprisingly high fraud/AML risk. If a code ends up being part of a stolen-card → resale → redemption chain (which is more common than people think), companies like Apple may actually have to lock the entire account.
