#facts.

But also, nope.

There is no suddenly here. It goes back to the 1940s and is a key technology. It became practical outside the lab in the 50s in a rather well known and celebrated moment.

There was this guy who put them on the roof of the White House in the 1970s.

And the various types have had massive amount of research and slow and steady progress since the 90s.

Nothing is suppressed you can go read all the research and details. You are simply surfing the yield curve of a mature technology in a predictable manner now, enjoy.

Also, get off TikTok and read a book.

I just want you to know that kind of uncalled for unkind behavior doesn’t have a place here on HN. Please do better in future. This isn’t Reddit.

Thanks for letting me know. I disagree. It has turned into exactly reddit and for the same reasons.

You do better.

From my experience last few days:

- Please don't post comments saying not wearing a condom is a bad idea

- Please don't post comments saying communism is not wonderful

- Please don't post comments saying OpenAI is not wonderful

'etc

I don't accept your criticisms and your phony politeness. You are being obtuse and turning a blind eye to real problems.

Certainly you are entitled to your opinions as I am to mine. Piling on however is lame and cowardly and as far from kind as is imaginable.

Try and start a proper discussion on these issues and see how far you'll get.

I'm very well aware of the guidelines - they are simply not enforced anymore. Instead they are now abused by a small cabal to bully and clobber others.

And a multitude of other posters feel the same way.
