News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

What’s the whataboutism re: Kent State? My point is the average Chinese citizen cares about Tiananmen about as much as the average American cares about Kent State, which is to say not at all.

I guess we can continue to be fascinated by it and Chinese citizens can continue to look at us weird when we speak about it like it’s the secret to immortality or something.

I guess if the police murder me, I’ll feel… better that a chatbot can tell someone about it? Moral superiority achieved I suppose.
We have such a weird fascination with Tiananmen, like it’s some sort of big gotcha. You can ask actual Chinese citizens and they know about it, and care about it about as much as an American citizen cares about the Kent State massacre.
Re:Interview with Shang-Yi Chiang, Former TSMC VP of Research on Saturday August 19, 2023 @12:40AM (#37185561)
Shaing Yi-Chaing and Liang Mong-Song have some serious beef from the past and they disagreed about SMIC’s direction. Liang made SMIC choose and SMIC chose Liang.
Your spamming of HN on a single topic and submission/comment history strongly suggest your interest is pushing an ideological agenda.

Also from the guidelines: Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.

Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

What is your obsession with China? I swear every China post on here is from you OP.
Will the year of the Linux desktop or China's housing collapse happen first?
Re:Retrieval in LangChain on Monday March 27, 2023 @01:50PM (#35329894)
Does anyone have an opinion on LangChain versus Deepset Haystack?

Haystack seems more polished for NLP tasks, but LangChain looks more extensible long term?

Thanks!

I volunteer you to go fight in a war after we sink/confiscate another country's vessels.

EDIT: You've edited your response a bunch of times from "hell yeah, I'm ready to die in a war" to whatever it is now. So here you go Internet Tough Guy(tm). Have fun, I guess https://www.goarmy.com/how-to-join.html

Re:Reddit has been down for more than an hour on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @04:57PM (#35158455)
One of the best life hacks is never get the last word in on Reddit.
Yeah, but no one likes to get moral lectures from hypocrites. We Americans sure do like self-determination, just not for anyone else.
"Permanently prevented" -- semi manufacturing is an engineering problem, not magic. Engineering problems can be solved, unless you think Chinese people are inherently inferior engineers.
I volunteer you to go fight in Taiwan to "humiliate the CCP".
Re:Huawei’s Ace in the Hole: Undersea Cables on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @05:09PM (#20034438)
So where is the actual evidence? Why won't the CIA present it publicly? Or should we just believe the CIA that it has this "evidence"?
Re:Huawei’s Ace in the Hole: Undersea Cables on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @05:07PM (#20034412)
Yes, here is the voluminous evidence that we have presented that Huawei spies for the Chinese government. /s

Singapore just grounded all their 737 Max flights. Aeromexico and GOL grounded their 737 Max planes today. Soon we’ll (U.S.) be the only country left flying these.

Re:Getting Steve Jobs Wrong on Friday November 18, 2011 @04:57PM (#3253627)
I think he's criticizing Issacson's book for being light on the details of Jobs' actual work, thus allowing Gladwell to write an article that is uninformed in calling Jobs a tweaker.

Had Issacson done the task justice, we would all have insight into Jobs' work, which in Gruber's opinion, rises far above the level of a tweaker.

Re:Your Brain Knows a Lot More Than You Realize on Monday November 14, 2011 @05:55PM (#3236080)
Reading this article made me think of this: http://paulgraham.com/top.html
There was an oncologist speculating on Quora that Jobs had to have the Whipple because he waited so long and the cancer presumably spread. Had he acted promptly it would have been a much less complicated surgery.

To each his own though -- whatever drove Jobs to seek alternative medicine first is part and parcel of the personality that gave us all he did.
