Dear ganafagol,
Your personal attacks should not be part of Hacker News discussions.
Please confine your remarks to substantive issues instead.

Unfortunately, by reading your comment history, I learned that you've been self promoting here for quite a while and have always been ignoring questions about references to other people's thoughts on your work. I also learned that there is a wikipedia talk page and apparently the same pattern happened there 5-6 years ago, where you were asked about citations and could only come with self-citation and claims of harrassment. And after sockpuppet edits you got banned there. That's sad, for everybody.
It would be so easy for you to just throw a handful of citations into the mix and let the research speak for itself! You want to go down in CS history as somebody having discovered something big, right? I'd love to see that! Then I could tell my grandkids that I was sitting in the front row! But you won't convince anybody by only doing self-promotion and complaining about "personal attacks". Scientific progress works by convincing the scientific community, and for that you need to engage with it positively.
It's great that CS has been your passion for a long time!
However, personal attacks do not belong on Hacker News.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia is a well-known site for libeling
people :-( Wikipedia libels should not be repeated on Hacker News!
Hacker News should be a welcoming forum. Participants on
Hacker News should not be subjected to personal attacks.
Of course, I engage extensively in the scientific community.
Before the covid-19 pandemic, I gave lectures at University
of Cambridge, Oxford University, Edinburgh University,
Imperial University, Stanford, University of Newcastle, etc.
Also, I give seminars at addition forums. For example, see the following:

Do you have anything constructive to contribute to the discussion?
subject matter?
Science does not work exactly as you have described.
References to scientific papers come afterward.
Sometimes it has taken considerable time for references to appear.
Also, references to other work in a scientific article
appear in context of how the references relate to
the subject of the article.
Science is not based on authorities per se. Instead,
the community works things out over time. Sometimes a consensus
will form. Aristotelian physics lasted for a long time.
However, consensus may dissolve or be replaced
with a revised consensus. For example, Newtonian physics was
revised in relativistic physics.
