I’ve always thought that Elon’s “genius” is that he is able to convince smart/capable people to be very loyal to him. I doubt any of his inner circle would comment about him on HN,…

I don’t see an issue with quoting an AI and citing it. Are you defending the parent post’s position of rewriting the AI answer to hide the fact that you used AI to find the solutio…

> If you really rewrite LLM’s response in your own words, I will know that you have learnt something. What a waste of time. Do you treat your coworkers like students trying to do h…

> This is what people who "vote their feelings" would assert. Most people think they are "sophisticated" and "educated" on these issues, both Democrats and Republicans. There is am…

Companies with high morality, do those even exist? Which one of the big tech companies do you expect to work towards benefiting humanity instead of focusing on turning a profit by …

It’s probably a VC fundraising strategy, “Meta gave me 100s of millions so you should give me more”.

The YouTube video in your link refers to a single Veritasium video regarding their coverage of Waymo autonomous driving. But I feel the entire video is invalidated by the fact that…

How am I misquoting you? If you meant to say that Veritasium is frequently incomplete then just say that. No need to add the frequently wrong part at all. You’re implying something…

That’s a bold statement to make that “Veritasium seems to be frequently wrong”. Can you list some of these many wrong statements that they make?

Because everyone who likes how Apple has made it easy for users to manage their subscriptions and enjoy the overall user friendliness of their products we are thus cultists who jus…

Having a carbon tax seems to be the most fair way to combat climate change; unfortunately in practice it is political suicide. Australia had a carbon tax in 2011 and was quickly re…

I agree with avoiding AI generated opinion pieces, but in this case was this article really “LLM junk”? At the bottom it attributes: > This article was written in collaboration wit…

I don’t think it has anything to do with whether it was a white collar crime or not. If it was the other team that committed the crime there would be endless outrage from his suppo…

> Citizens pay attention to the number of employees, and they get mad about it. You really don't want to be the one to cause citizens to angrily call elected officials if you're in…

Never been proven? He’s been convicted of a crime already. Are there really HNers who only watch Fox News? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-05-30/bloomb...

People on HN have too much to lose. Who is willing to put their personal wealth and livelihood at risk to protest? We are witnessing the fall of democracy and the middle class will…

I like that Nintendo recognises that the mouse is a superior input device, but their vertical joycon implementation seems more like a gimmick than an actually useful device. Balanc…

That is a good question, is there any harm to play freemium games if the kids aren’t allowed to spend any money? My view is that freemium games tend to be engineered to hook people…

Wow, do you work for these ad-tech companies? You’re totally correct that I don’t want to be tracked and I’m happy that Apple is trying to protect me from these predatory companies…

YouTube is another dangerous vehicle for toxic ideology affecting our children. If you’re not careful with censoring the algorithm it is very easy to fall into a self reinforcing l…

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I too have struggled with fighting these network effects. And I am disheartened to see so many parents who just blindly let their children pl…

Why do responsible parents even allow their kids to play Roblox? Roblox is plagued by freemium style gambling games that are harmful to children. I’m interested to hear from HN par…

How does that video show that Apple “should have made a car”? The video spends time explaining Xiaomi’s history, but spends no time justifying the clickbait title other than implyi…
