But ai chats are brilliant places to practice your thinking. It is a like a human with zero ego, so just gives you counterexamples to what you said, without any care to your feelings. It tells you your novel idea was written down by some thinker 100 years ago, and doesn't care about the crestfallen look on your face. You can use this to strengthen your argument, it will tell you when you did, and when you just did the opposite. It doesn't care if you change places and argue from the other side either. Or if you say, I feel like x is true but could this just be my bias from years of y, it argues back.

To try, go and type a weakly argued point into Claude and watch it take you apart. Try these:

People only post on hn for the pathetic dopamine hit of upvotes

Hn comments are getting weaker

James Acaster is the best commedian of the last 200 years.

Your challenge is to turn it into an argument strong enough to not get an instant rejection

"He found that expert brains were wired differently in regions important for functions like attention, visual perception and visual recognition."

Can we be sure that happened because of the bird watching, or did they reach expert level because their brain is wired differently?

I hope they took precautions against the Camerlengo stealing it

Perhaps it will make it easier to cope with? Fighting something beyond your control is pretty exhausting

Interestingly this thinking has carried over to the UK. And as is often the case, people don't consider the scale changes and second order effects.

'Removing barriers to salmon migration' became a huge deal about 20 years ago, with conservation bodies removing weirs. Yes weirs not dams. Old Mill weirs, for instance, that were there when salmon stocks were high.

A lot of money has been spent, especially in the River Wye, which wriggles between Wales and England. The salmon stocks have plummeted, and got worse since they started.

The thing is Salmon could jump weirs in a flood. That is their evolutionary advantage. They had access to tributaries that no other fish could get too. Now Salmon can get their, along with Barbel, who eat fish eggs... and are not native to the Wye. Just saying.

One 'expert' (at fundraising at least), said 'Salmon could only cross these barriers in high flows' which is fine, because Salmon only run the river at all at high flows.

Weirs also provided varied habitat, and more oxygenated water... that is now lost.

I went to a seminar lead by two of these groups. One gave a presentation about all the dead trees they had removed from the river to 'remove barriers'. The second speaker talked about the dead trees they put in the river to create fish nurseries. I seemed to be the only person that find this absurd.

Now the barrier removal people are claiming success. As in they successfully raised the money and removed the 'barrier', one presumes. Salmon stocks have got worse.

There is more, but that was sad enough on its own

I can believe different drivers make a difference, but that wasn't the point under debate

They demanded my fate of birth to hand over a bladed article my wife bought. It was a plastic Halloween prop of a bloody axe

Ahh an anti-boafeng rule

If you can wait out the statute of limitations you can of course sell it. It seems that in France that is not a thing in stolen art from a public collection

It looks more like 'Old Macdonald had a farm'

Or collecting kompromat leverage

Burner phone? No phone?

Don't you just launch a good router? Some people will be attracted by the open source firmware. Some will be attached by a good router. You will be attracted by not having to write firmware.

Another way of looking at this, find an industry or community that have particular needs in a router and sell to them

It really is, but you will still want wifi, so you need a team of internet connected wifi points with central control, which play nicely with each other. I have use Ubiquiti in the past. Is there an open source version of what they do?
