Depending on where you are on the page and how interesting the title is, I'd put it at between 10-100K visitors.

This post reminded me of Eliezer Yudkowsky's Guessing the Teacher's Password https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NMoLJuDJEms7Ku9XS/guessing-t... , which focuses more on the need to unlearn answering questions

If Bill Gates had donated 100% of his wealth the instant he became a billionaire, his total amount donated would be 1B, and then he would be broke. Alternatively, if he holds onto his MSFT position and donates over the course of his life, h

I like the answer "This is just the beginning" that was added in at the end of their response to the question "Do you plan to acquire other studios? What else are you doing to accelerate VR?" on this page. Facebook obvio

The report itself would probably be better (rather than a Twitter comment about it), but also is lacking some context for people who did not originally hear about the event.

As a US citizen I don't see much that can be done. Although I don't trust the third-party scripts, the bank obviously does, given they're all large analytics platforms.

This tweet is lacking quite a bit of context, would be nicer to have the link replaced with a more comprehensive/original source

Every bank I've used has had a pretty absurd amount of trackers that I've blocked, often 5-10+ third party javascript domains. I don't know of any that don't have any, but I'm sure some small ones exist somewhere. T

This is a pretty ambitious change, I'd love to see the data that they used in making it. I've had people use a service I made for meetups before, https://tagmap.io , but its feature set is a bit different than meetups b

Tagmap is something I've been working on for a bit to try to help solve the problem of how difficult it is for people to meet like-minded individuals near them (or just on the Internet in general sometimes). The general concept is that

>In the largest study of its kind, results challenge the notion of autism as reflecting an “extreme male brain.” I don't see how this is related, unless you think the only 'maleness' that can exist in a brain is testostero

It seems like they want to do a lot of things, but they embark on new projects before previous ones have gained significant adoption. This makes it appear like they lack a general direction, with some of the suggestions on this page already

Kind of weird how they discuss a single case and then literally write that one should "refuse the money of tech billionaires". Sounds like an absurd overreaction. Worth checking out https://slatestarcodex.com/2019&

I would just view this as 'part of the simulation'. If you assume with high probability that we're in a simulation, then the simulators are intelligent enough to predict that we may become aware of this eventually. If they&#x

For those of you asking for alternatives, I've tried a few of the things posted in https://kevv.net/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/ to some success, but obviously it depends on your use case.

Great work! Do you have any thoughts to share on the future of this area? Anything specific with this project, future projects you might work on, or just the idea of profiting from AI-generated art to begin with?

I've seen multiple comments suggesting HN uses ReCAPTCHA, but I have never encountered it myself, and I even have Javascript disabled and login through 'anonymous' IPs such as tor, so I'm unsure what these users could be
