News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Let me summarize: the highest scored comment on hacker news to the death of Daniel Kahneman says the second half of his book can be replaced by an automated plagiarism machine.

Y'all are hopeless and deserve what's coming for you. The only problem is, I will also be buried under it and so will everyone else but that can't be helped, it seems.

Aye well, there's your problem, the clouds.

The sea temperature is already literally off the charts and we do not know why but let's just add a couple more countries worth of energy waste in datacenters producing nothing, what could possibly go wrong.

No, the less cynical take is it says "the second half of the book drags on and you can skip most of those chapters." Which has been generically true of much business nonfiction for decades now. How people choose to apply that knowledge predates AI: skipping it, reading any of the summary reviews available, listening to the audiobook while in gym/car/shopping, asking a friend, dipping into it selectively, etc. There are lots of low-tech alternatives.
