This is such a weird drama. The way I read it SD was effectively trying to put pressure on a guy because he developed a popular UI for using SD, and made that UI also support anoth…

What a worth of space piece. It basically just boils down to the author being annoyed that other people visit popular sites too. If you don't like other tourists, don't travel to t…

But why though? Lets assume just for the sake of argument that Magnus has insider information from chess.com making him 98% certain that Niemann is cheating. Why would he hand him …

> I am disappointed with Magnus. He is misusing the weight of his reputation even if cheating is a big deal in chess. I think the unspoken truth but also the thing both chess.com a…

I see where you're coming from, if the formulas end up having weird numbers like 535.4916 or numbers like 2.718 or 6.28318 then obviously there's something suspicious about the equ…

It seems obvious really. Weird Al makes parody songs, of cause the movie was going to end up being a parody movie.

It would be interesting to see how such a challenge evolves, because if you do include inspection, then you really just have a no-inspection solve time. And the question becomes ho…

> How many meters did Usain Bolt have to run in training before he ran his 100 meter record winning run. That's not really an accurate comparison. The current setup is more akin to…

I feel like a lot of what's in the category of "you wont believe this is getting popular" on tiktok is a result of them faking views and follower numbers to rope in creators who th…

> most banks are highly levered, meaning they're lending out, say, 10× the cash they hold, so they never "have too much cash on hand". Reconsider what your stating here. If I have …

Great, now do Roblox and Fortnight. And youtube for that matter.

What exactly is the bikeshed here? Naturally Python doesn't use the newest standards the second they are released because that would be chaos. So they need to consider when they us…

I feel like this is twisting numbers. The fact that 60% are "impuls buys" doesn't mean you are "tricked into buying more". If someone is renovating or moving, then they might go to…

> how do you "suddenly" die of Crohn's? Why do you want to know? I know a doctor in India who can help arrange that if you need this kind of service. He's not cheap though. /s

If your neighborhood decides for whatever reason that your IOU's are worth what is printed on them or even increasing values over time, then you can generate a lot of cash, and loo…

> What kinds of slick jedi-mind-tricks is Robin using to keep the OP from going after him and instead pleading with Upwork conflict resolution drones? The absolute center of the pr…

It's not Web 3.0, that was the semantic web, which also aimed in some sense to be decentralized data but wasn't about turning the internet itself into a vehicle for ridicules inves…

Personally I would say that the downvote features is extremely useful and valuable. Especially on Hackernews, as it helps to protect the community standards which are quite differe…

Why would you check a message left by spammers?

This is as perfect example of just how horribly bad the typical "X does not exist" examples are, because here we all know the pool that is being used for training and can call out …

When looking at IQ increase over time, you control for education and socioeconomic factors, otherwise you're just drawing conclusions from those factors.

You're trying to make an argument as to why the placebo indirectly could have had an actual effect, but this is exactly what the study showed that id did not have. There was no eff…

> "hmm I'm here and waiting, and all I can do is watch paint dry" seems to have vanished. Theres several influencers whose whole bit is centered around mixing paint, and I don't kn…

Interesting research, even if it isn't something you'd immediately assume would go into commercial products. The fact that they see a weight decrease simply from adding calorie fre…

This is a great study in tech debt, bad attitudes and work arounds. That said, I think this will be a great benefit to python, I often end up mistyping only to curse at the stupid …
