Is it surprising or unsurprising to see such amount of social anxiety in the comments?

For me it's surprising. Based on the regular discussions I read on here, I assume that most are accomplished and confident.

For me, commenting on HN is a low-risk activity: - Nobody knows who I am - If I'm attacked, I can usually write it off as random Internet people being jerks or having bad days. - I don't accidentally say stupid stuff because the clock is running out for a timely response. - If I say something rash or nasty, I can often delete it before many people read it.

In the age of replicated AI voices and security it seems like this would be a bad idea. How much voice sample is needed to decently replicate someone's voice?

See whisper-speech posted yesterday.
