That's a great resource, thanks. It's what I expected, what the UN predicts follows the agenda of the day. Previous it was the fear of some enemy population and now they are trying…

People can often behave similarly to LLMs, not simply regurgitating the data they have but are incapable of imagining anything outside of their dataset. Data in a dataset does not …

The vile, seething hatred deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of people overcome all rationality. See how many even on this website seek vicious token vengeance against an old …

> Hypothetically, is there some sort of motive you have for Canada to want to blame India for such a murder? What would they have to gain? Canada is part of the death cult hell ben…

Rare to see a level head who doesn't just believe everything they are told immediately.

Consider a scenario where there were no nuclear weapons, but you had convinced the world that nuclear weapons exist. This scenario has very similar implications to the current worl…

Another HN user recently offered a term for this: Glossification. It's not just the internet that has gone through this, any endeavor that involves an audience will undergo a comme…

This is a terrible piece of ignore-the-facts advice. The emerging facts about the health impacts from plastics are significant and irreversible. Anxiety is a healthy human response…

Go returning tuples as a norm and a way to handle simultaneously success and failure is the reason I believe go to be a fundamentally unsafe language. With a single binary return v…

Confusing correlation and causality is probably the most effective form of viral propaganda. Most people don't know what causality is and even when they do they can't easily spot w…

Foot has an opt-in server mode so that if you are used to running multiple terminals at once, you can save a little memory. Great for a low-end device. Of course, if the server is …

If NASA puts their satellites in space with their new fancy UFO detectors, and they start detecting many UFOs in the absence of eye witness accounts, do you believe them? It is ver…

Consider the techniques being used and only available to players with resources: - employ bots/troll farms to astro-turf comments, blogs, videos and articles at a large scale. - em…

Adding to this, AI gives the common folk a fighting chance in the information war which has already been waged upon us. Up until now only the rich and the powerful had the ability …

And so it begins. Australia once again leading the charge against freedom and privacy, this will no doubt be accompanied with legislation that makes AI illegal and give rights to p…

Not everyone who posts here is a coder but I do agree with you the narcissism and astro-turfing on HN is high. I suspect the high-confidence/narcissist combination is especially hi…
