I've seen it here on HN (it's particularly noticeable via the /active page) multiple times. If Google, OpenAI or Anthropic release something significant, odds are good you'll see a…

The problem with that is, eventually the conspiracy people think that there's no good answer to what they're saying. That, and all the undecided lurkers reading pages of unchalleng…

No, I'm explaining to you that accidental civilian casualties in a war is a normal part of the terrible activity that is war. Good soldiers with the best of intentions will kill ci…

It actually is a bad experience to live under a totalitarian regime in fear of disappearing forever if you said the wrong thing to the wrong person. And it's kinda weird you're min…

Why would they need due process? They weren't the targets and their deaths were accidental collateral damage.

Why are you citing these as cases of terrorism and murder when the American citizen wasn't the target? Collateral damage happens in missile strikes.

Does Israel actually have the capacity to target the whole of Hamas with those small accurate bombs, as they get intelligence on them? If Hamas is in the basement can the small bom…

A firm belief that one is doing the right thing is incredibly protective of mental health in war. Ukrainian drone pilots have few doubts about what future they're working towards a…

Should the whole of the military quit because the American people were x enough to elect Trump?

Civilians die in wars, and that's with the best intentions of all parties to the conflict. If one or both has got radicalised, then a lot of civilians die in war.

"Reporter commissions a (successful) penetration test (of cheap Chinese hardware)" isn't quite as catchy I guess

From the perspective of the data centre guys, efficiency gains make (over)spend on data centres even more worthwhile. The more efficiency gains there are the more work the datacent…

"massive bombing" is irrelevant. They either have the capacity to achieve their war goals or they don't and the bombing is not achieving US goals. We're apparently up to "asking ar…

Well I was assured by his supporters that he was a smart and successful businessman and 'very stable genius' so I'm sure this won't end in economic disaster and national humiliatio…

If this had been a Democrat admin, can you imagine the derision from the Republicans of 10 years ago? To start a war, get 6 months in, and start asking around for ways to win? Seri…

I remember reading here about the viruses that would uninstall themselves if they detected a Cyrillic language configured on the OS.

The only two people here still defending Trump's Iran war are doing it from fresh throwaway accounts. It's not looking good.

Security concerns aside, it's a big part of why the Chinese don't like it so much. Same with the Russians and Ukraine. It's embarrassing for nationalist narratives if there's a gro…

And what happens to the loyalty system Xi created after he dies? It will have been in power for decades by then.

>But I don’t really care who wins anyway, I’m not sure why I’m even engaging here. The democrats are so far from the 2008 version that you don't care if they lose? That Trump's act…

I wonder how well they would go if you could target your donation. Humble bundle did this and I appreciated it.

Donate to both but archive.org has a higher priority.

It's more subtle than that. Trump says so many varied and contradicting things with extremely varying levels of seriousness that any voter could squint at what he said and done, re…

Remember this is the internet, obvious sarcasm doesn't necessarily come across, and the understanding ingroup may be a fraction of the people that read it.

What should I search to find information about this? Who are the cast-out liberal reformists?
