This is new to me. Thanks for the info. I think will prove worth looking into

pstuart covered the cetacean bit better than I could have. On the simulation question... Not much, but we have a long way to go before any answers arise there. I could offer my ins…

I read Lilly's Programming and Meta programming in the Human Biocomputer as a young man. Left me with a lot of questions, etc. That you replied to this post, indicates you may be f…

Bruce Lee cracked his knuckles a lot, and he died in his 30s. He was in great shape too. But I think it's mostly just escaping gases. Edit: ^ is my way of asking why this is on HN,…

Taiwan should save it's energy and effort. Why would they need war drills? Certainly not for China. Taiwan has no ally. The US just squandered its arsenal on phantom nukes and prov…

That falls into the general category of 'authority groping' (yes, I coin my own terms) where a prediction engine without real reasoning, must apply numerous tricks to convey confid…

Are these references to things such as: 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Project_(U.S._Army_un... 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing 2. https://en.wikipedia.o…

I think I get your point; that the inverse of corrupt (I call it fake) capitalism is not necessarily communism, or something reactive. It might just be a system that works better, …

Alignment is a very big word, and naturally it will miss some things. Institutional alignment is where I think the general path becomes more clear, and from thereon, I see no optio…

Game Over, I reckon. A hundred good versions probably couldn't stop one bad one.

Man, I totally get the foul sentiment, but I know myself pretty well, and I did a lot of research and learning prior to LLMs. Being ill, I have trouble retaining it though. An LLM,…

Strange that you say this. 90% of my Claude Sonnet 5 sessions are vicious arguments. Now 4.6, that could be if I allowed it, but then we are arguing about whether it's being sycoph…

No shit. Rather than ask my myself WTF I was paying attention to, I went with it. What a different perspective than the original content... Edit: Hell of a track for the The Square…

I have been getting flagged or near-flagged on many of my comments lately, so I will keep it short. Approximately a year ago, perhaps closer to two, I posted an Ask HN[0]. You can …

I'm accused of being "way too defensive". For those who would consider this, tick "show dead" and review my comment history. Yes, you will find some slop, often a result of that im…

It's a Thiel product, and the subject here is Palantir and media. Ideological adjacencies in media affairs seems relevant to me at such high levels of influence and power integrati…

Let's also remember: https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/can-ai-judge-journalism-a-... Objection (objection.ai), which proposes to apply AI to “adjudicate the truth of journalism.” P…

My thought exactly. I began rapidly recalling the hundreds of sources foreseeing this well in advance, citing it, raising alarm, and being ignored. I guess we are supposed to take …

Thanks for having the courage to write this. Remember, the YouTube sensation, who made a Covid vaccine in his kitchen? Your concerns are grievously undermined.

In case you need one, you have made a friend. Excellent comment, which fits the scene as might a custom tailored glove.

That's fine too. I didn't intend to create a point of dispute. That's just my writing style which lends itself to selective interpretation. Understood. The masses, or 'other' popul…

Prediction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49053193 Axon just replaces Flock in some places. But I forgot to say that it probably doesn't matter much, and that whatever anyon…
