There is an enormous amount of skepticism towards the US TSMC deal in Taiwan, in the sense that Tsai Ing-wen “sold out” Taiwanese IP and top engineers due to political pressure. An…

Exactly this. I recently wanted to gift my sick mother something to let her watch the shows she likes while she gets better. I check all the major streaming sites, genuinely wantin…

Ok come on, this has gotta be a regulatory capture stunt. None of this is surprising or particularly dangerous. You can do this for literally any topic. Choose something lawmakers …

Controversial take: why not teach your daughters to embrace and win at the social media game? It’s not going away, and being able to successfully navigate that world is going to be…

So here’s a conundrum. The longevity literature consistently reports that caloric restriction and in particular minimising protein intake, including eg the BCAAs found in protein p…

Amazing stuff. It’s unfortunate that you have to be a famous blogger to get access to this. It’s been said enough at this point but it really goes against the spirit of OpenAI and …

This is unsurprising. Every tech company does this. Pretty much all maps apps redraw boundaries of places like Taiwan and Crimea to suit local sensitivities. Search engines selecti…

When I was at university, all the physicists loved to humblebrag about the “crackpots” that came to them, and how much dumber they were than real physicists. They had a similar but…

I wonder who these well-spoken, educated scammers are and how they’re recruited. Pet theory: voice recordings will be the next fingerprints/DNA, at some point it will be trivial to…

Serious question, for those with more experience than me “in the game” running big successful companies: are dirty tactics like this (and worse) par for the course and generally ex…

For a laugh, I tried the query from the other trending GPT thread: Is it safe to walk downstairs backwards if I close my eyes? Thanks for your question. Let me research that for yo…

It’s the author, and I also find it tiring. There seems to be a slightly sarcastic undertone of superiority and entitlement in every post. I would not choose to employ such a perso…

On the topic of Jekyll, can anyone recommend a reliable GUI that a non-technical content team can use that integrates nicely with Jekyll? I’ve tried a few “headless CMS” options bu…

This post was on the front page a few days and really resonated with me [1]. I love HN, because there is nowhere else on the internet with the same concentration of intelligence, d…

I would be interested if anyone else with lingering myo/pericarditis could offer advice on what treatment has worked. I still have pain and am unable to exercise 6 months after the…

Delta and previous strains saw horrendous, mass casualties in many countries. I don’t think that’s really happening anywhere with omicron. It may be that enough of the world is vac…

As a disclaimer, I have ongoing cardiac side effects. Several doctors from general practice and in cardiology have separately told me that they all generally accept the published n…

I think that’s largely because omicron is less serious. I think the vaccine helped against past strains, and maybe a bit against omicron, but it was vastly oversold.

I hope that at some point we get to see an in-depth business case study of Pfizer and how they’ve been so successful out of the pandemic. They seem to have an unbelievable grasp of…

I have always been fascinated by ideas that are heretical but also likely to be true. Unfortunately, like you say, they’re hard to find and therefore a lot of them I feel like I’ve…

In my (quite extensive) experience with the company, one should only ever use PayPal as an extremely temporary means to accept payment for clients who can’t pay any other way, and …
