I feel like we need another effect for people on hacker news that consistently do the opposite - take obvious intelligence and pretend it's equivalent to Eliza.

Because that’s the group that’s captured it
Someone (throwtato@protonmail) sent me a death threat from my hacker news email alias over this thread - ridiculous, but not surprising given the left wing extremist violence. The most hostility I've see on HN is from…
I don’t know why I spend time on HN anymore - it used to be a place to learn things and interact with interesting people. Now it’s just a crappy subreddit. The interesting people mostly fled to private channels (or X)…
Anyone saying “misogynistic domestic slavery” has bought into a much dumber political religion, maybe without even realizing it.
This guy’s entire post is about riding a sad Caltrain to some Palo Alto job and being disappointed his memorization of obscure computer trivia or generic software job didn’t provide meaning in his life. My point is that…
I suspect nothing you believe about either of them is remotely true. I didn’t say I was committed to the religions - I said they’re a battle tested adaptive cultural technology we should be careful about throwing away…
People are looking for meaning in the wrong places - it’s not a huge surprise, it’s something secularism has largely failed at. There are places you can work that are more meaningful or where there is a culture of…
iPhone 5(s) was peak case design imo and the last to have a flush camera iirc. The 12 and 13 mini were close, but still had the bump. My personal favorite would be that style with modern chips and a full glass display.…
I loved the mini and bought both the 12 and 13 mini. Also bought it for my siblings. Unfortunately after its sales Apple is very unlikely to ever make a small phone again.
The configurator is interesting and something I haven't heard of before! It's a double edged sword because the amount of time I spend online (X) has been directly responsible for the most valuable opportunities and…
You downplayed what Tesla FSD can do and said I was being narrow minded and the Bay Area driving is "easy mode" and said vision isn't a general solution. I think none of this is true.
People here just whine and complain - yes they’ve “only” just sent a skyscraper to space for now and caught the booster on reentry, it’s a work in progress (along with their reusable rockets, earth scale telecom side…
You don’t need hands on the wheel anymore, just looking out the window. It’s way more relaxed. It’ll be nice when that’s not required anymore, but even today it’s way more comfortable.
If humans had ten eyes always looking simultaneously and never got tired they would also not hit stuff.
Oh please - people excuse and dismiss major accomplishments, you can send a skyscraper to mars and people on HN will still be calling you a fraud. The Bay Area has massive traffic, complex interchanges, SF has tight…
Thank you for exemplifying what I’m talking about. I should really buy more TSLA.
Yeah it’s amazing
He argued the case in 2016 iirc. The position against lidar was that it traps you in a local max, that humans use vision, that roads and signs are designed for vision so you're going to ultimately have to solve that…
I use FSD in my Model S daily to commute from SF to Palo Alto along with most of my other Bay Area driving. It does a better job currently than most people and it drives me 95% of the time now I haven't had the phantom…
There’s no point in continuing our discussion (are you a Wikipedia editor - this thread feels like I’m talking to one), the articles I link to show it’s much worse than you suggest. It’s beyond inherent bias, it’s…
Wikipedia fails at its purpose is more my point - it pretends to be something it’s not. The bad part is people (including many in the comments here) don’t realize this. A good encyclopedia doesn’t push an ideological…
I seek out individuals I think are smart from a variety of places and read a lot - I'm not sure if there's another way. The more I do this, the more I have a general dislike for wikipedia. The problem with wikipedia is…
