I agree with your points. But governments around the world frequently demonstrate that they can be easily compromised.

That's why free speech is an important counterweight to political power.

I credit all those who openly spoke out against the Iraq forever war preventing similar wars since then.

Yes, they being a doctor matters because it is a filter for someone who engages with scientific material and their opinion is more valued than some rando crackpot.

That said, what are your credentials? Perhaps I'm enganging some rando crackpot myself.

One word, transparency. Being open about the research and outcomes. This is a situation good science communicators can help with.

Engage the skeptics in open debate and address their concerns, not censorship and embarking on cancellation campaigns.

However uncomfortable it seems, the median person in society isn't going to do a thorough literature review to make up their mind, they'll do it based on personal instincts.

What do you all think about the "Solve It" method by the Answer dot AI folks?

It's more like iterating on the REPL with AI in the loop, meaning the user stays in control while benefitting from AI, so real growth happens.

Interesting thing to consider, in a couple of years, will there be a differentiator between people who are good at driving company-specific AI tools and those who are generally better by having built skills the hard way ground up with benefit of AI?

Only that you are incorrect that Elon hung out with Epstein. Unless there has been some new evidence

But is there proof Elon actually hung out with Epstein as the poster asserted?

Did Musk really hang out with Epstein? I only saw email conversations between the two.

By contrast, Bill Gates and Reid Hofmann hung out with Epstein A LOT.

And Hofmann was Epstein's primary connection into the Silicon Valley scene.

Is it correct to say Golang is bringing Limbo to the masses?

I know that self reported data is unreliable.

The person running this who was probably paid thousands of pounds worth of currency should have put in the time to produce a more accurate measure of mental health

How reliable is this study given that participants were asked to self report?

Without any context you might as well be arguing about favorite colors

Perhaps the reason people keep repeating it is that someone makes the statement without any reasons, provides an alternative again without any reasons.

"Why are you not using docker to sandbox your code?"

"Umm.. someone on HN told me docker is not a sandbox, to use randomtool instead"

Privacy is a big deal for many, especially if you grew up before the age of telemetry everywhere.

For now, a privacy preserving chromium fork will do, until hopefully the Ladybird project is mature enough to provide alternatives

Firefox doubled down on using/selling user data for advertising purposes, so that's a big reason for avoiding it.

I held onto it as someone who didn't even like the politics of the people behind it (the beauty of open source), for the sake of browser engine diversity, but changing terms of service of use of personal data was the final blow
