Serious question. Are there any alternatives to HN? Been reading HN on and off since 2010 and the decline to this is painfully obvious. Used to learn a lot from reading on here but…

But, the floor of profits for a company is not denominated in dollars. It is shit you put in your mouth and eat or a useful product like a refrigerator which you can put things whi…

At this point, I think people who can say 1. with a straight face are either intellectually dishonest or just repeat things others say. The majority of teachers make a median US wa…

Trump tried to ban TikTok (and quite a lot more), but he’s orange and bad, so Biden repealed it. And tariffs are racist, so there’s that. America is not functioning well at this po…

I’m not going to win any upvotes for saying this but I think it’s worth mentioning that this study is dishonest, blatantly politically-themed, and likely intended to score points w…

A million years? Let’s crunch the numbers. I think the intellectual honest would acknowledge ashkhenazi intelligence differences. That took quite a lot less than a million years. A…

They absolutely did not say anything about “obvious” discoveries. That is even more ridiculous of a claim. Which major breakthroughs in stem were “obvious”? Or are you speaking fro…

Literally your post, the top comment on the thread, leads with an unabashed claim that humans have already discovered all of the “major advances” in the sciences. It’s flabbergasti…

Regarding replicability, I disagree this is a problem at all. Writing shit code is not going to prevent someone highly capable from replicating your results. If anything, I empathi…

Important to note that the audience of this article and Tiktok’s target market are disjoint. Relevant minds need to be swayed.

I find this take ridiculous. This is the liberal equivalent of “no systemic racism”. What would you call it when a significant portion of your company believes in woke values and p…

Homotopy type theory probably. Uses in modern theorem prover languages include verification of systems/hardware and formalization of math.

If you’re doing a lot of extra hours, not having to commute and getting some peace makes a huge difference in making it sustainable.

Modern crypto has to be the most ostentatious display of our generation’s detachment from reality and laze. I pray the big players pumping these like penny stocks on a much grander…

A lot to disagree with here, but off the bat, many of the highest paid software engineers are the ones working the very least or not at all.

I’m guessing this was an introductory course? Every college stuffs kids into courses they have no interest in. Society pressures them into college in the first place. Most introduc…

The other responder said the same thing, but to add, a traveling nurse I’m friends with , in Texas, gets paid 5k a week if he chooses to work and chooses where he wants to work. So…

Getting a STEM degree at a state school and getting out as quickly as possible is arguably the smartest way to use college. Unfortunately, many 18 year olds and frankly many adults…

Just like much of the healthcare system, government jobs, military contracting, etc., college is a glorified welfare-jobs program for much of the staff and arguably entire departme…

If that were in any way even remotely representative of what is being defined as hate speech and weaponized, you might have a point. Tangentially, I’ve noticed a few occasions wher…

You’re proving my point. “Hate speech” is defined by a very small group of nerds, who are in the 4th sd of privilege with white liberal jesus syndrome and who’ve spent most of thei…

Apples are red. The sky is blue. Twitter shadowbans and tinkers with who sees who. I wonder what the old guard will do with the codebase over the next few months.

This, in a nutshell, is the ivory tower conversation silicon valley liberals have been having with themselves for the past few years to justify their ever-creeping censorship. 90% …

Reading this is like a manifesto on the maladjusted millenial mind (sorry, this sentence was a coincidence). Didn’t we used to have movie tropes about deranged people who could not…
