Makes sense. OP is leaning I to conspiracional adhoc reasoning. I’m sure Pierre would rather keep his Hawaiian island than to field questions from the agencies

Big fan of Larry Summers here. He seems to be part of everything, Harvard, Epstein, etc.
Considering that we're already approaching a Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum analog at up to ten times faster than the onset of the PETM (one of the largest mass extinction events) [1], I’d say it’s pretty much game over.

Re:New accounts on HN 10x more likely to use EM-dashes on Thursday February 26, 2026 @08:22AM (#47165717)
It was a joke. Dang is the site-wide moderator
Sounds like it was written by someone with a health condition. Hope Bostrom is alright.

Quite puzzling also he wouldn't even refer to his earlier work to refute it, given that he wrote THE book on the risk of superintelligence.

Some Kantons are more easy going than others but overall the police are not to fuck around with.

According to this source, 77% of soy production is used for animal feed. That only a small percentage of it goes to cattle is irrelevant in terms of the damage caused.
It’s not absurd, it’s deception.

So, one of those Egg Council creeps got to you too?
This is so chatGpt it hurts. Can we petition hn to ban ai generated comments? I see more Reddit communities actively putting a ban on ai, hn should follow if it can be done with the available resources.
Any accessible online space with real hacker culture? Mastodon?
Yet, most of the destructive policies have not been replaced by the new government eg abortion issues.

Please, please please make it happen.
If you build this I will come.

Something like feeding your Reddit username to

Thank you for speaking out. There are so many who are too afraid sadly.
Re:When ChatGPT summarises, it does nothing of the kind on Monday July 22, 2024 @04:06AM (#41031895)
At what point does it become easier to just do the task yourself? I’ve pondered this question often and came to the conclusion that it’s not worth at the current level of output for me to tinker with it until I get sensible responses.
Re:Psilocybin Desynchronizes the Human Brain on Thursday July 18, 2024 @02:26PM (#40998395)
Very good points. My understanding from talking to a research assistant, the research groups doing lsd/mdma/psilocybin studies based in Basel and Zürich are led by drug experienced researchers.
Thank you dang. Doing the lords work.
No, it’s almost certainly action by hasbara accounts, since virtually all tech relevant stories involving Israel get insta flagged. It’s not natural.
No it’s gone. We would need admin support to get it unflagged again, most likely.
You can fly an all airbus carrier to avoid this scenario. JetBlue for instance in the US.

Getting the HN customary flagged status. Like clock work.
