I feel like we need another effect for people on hacker news that consistently do the opposite - take obvious intelligence and pretend it's equivalent to Eliza.

Because that’s the group that’s captured it

Someone (throwtato@protonmail) sent me a death threat from my hacker news email alias over this thread - ridiculous, but not surprising given the left wing extremist violence. The …

I don’t know why I spend time on HN anymore - it used to be a place to learn things and interact with interesting people. Now it’s just a crappy subreddit. The interesting people m…

Anyone saying “misogynistic domestic slavery” has bought into a much dumber political religion, maybe without even realizing it.

This guy’s entire post is about riding a sad Caltrain to some Palo Alto job and being disappointed his memorization of obscure computer trivia or generic software job didn’t provid…

I suspect nothing you believe about either of them is remotely true. I didn’t say I was committed to the religions - I said they’re a battle tested adaptive cultural technology we …

People are looking for meaning in the wrong places - it’s not a huge surprise, it’s something secularism has largely failed at. There are places you can work that are more meaningf…

iPhone 5(s) was peak case design imo and the last to have a flush camera iirc. The 12 and 13 mini were close, but still had the bump. My personal favorite would be that style with …

I loved the mini and bought both the 12 and 13 mini. Also bought it for my siblings. Unfortunately after its sales Apple is very unlikely to ever make a small phone again.

The configurator is interesting and something I haven't heard of before! It's a double edged sword because the amount of time I spend online (X) has been directly responsible for t…

You downplayed what Tesla FSD can do and said I was being narrow minded and the Bay Area driving is "easy mode" and said vision isn't a general solution. I think none of this is tr…

People here just whine and complain - yes they’ve “only” just sent a skyscraper to space for now and caught the booster on reentry, it’s a work in progress (along with their reusab…

You don’t need hands on the wheel anymore, just looking out the window. It’s way more relaxed. It’ll be nice when that’s not required anymore, but even today it’s way more comforta…

If humans had ten eyes always looking simultaneously and never got tired they would also not hit stuff.

Oh please - people excuse and dismiss major accomplishments, you can send a skyscraper to mars and people on HN will still be calling you a fraud. The Bay Area has massive traffic,…

Thank you for exemplifying what I’m talking about. I should really buy more TSLA.

Yeah it’s amazing

He argued the case in 2016 iirc. The position against lidar was that it traps you in a local max, that humans use vision, that roads and signs are designed for vision so you're goi…

I use FSD in my Model S daily to commute from SF to Palo Alto along with most of my other Bay Area driving. It does a better job currently than most people and it drives me 95% of …

There’s no point in continuing our discussion (are you a Wikipedia editor - this thread feels like I’m talking to one), the articles I link to show it’s much worse than you suggest…

Wikipedia fails at its purpose is more my point - it pretends to be something it’s not. The bad part is people (including many in the comments here) don’t realize this. A good ency…
