FergusArgyllon An entire Herculaneum scroll has been read for the first time

> completely different from what the Christian propaganda claimed, e.g. that Epicureans were some kind of sinners addicted to pleasures.

Interestingly, in Jewish literature (Talmud and further refined by Maimonedes) Epicurus refers to a certain kind of non-believer, not to a sinner for pleasure. See here for example https://www.sefaria.org/Mishneh_Torah%2C_Repentance.3.8?lang...

I always wondered about that because I guess I fell for the "Christian propaganda" as you call it.

FergusArgyllon Views of America

This is political writing by the current Sec of State, I hope this doesn't turn into a flamewar but I thought it was nice (plus written by a human according to pangram which is rare for diplomatic writing of late)

FergusArgyllon Dostoyevsky isn't difficult

The edition I read had a map of characters at the beginning which was helpful

FergusArgyllon Blogging can just be stating the obvious

I understand this sentiment but also society as a whole is grappling with how AI will change everything so it kinda makes sense that peoples first reaction to anything is "will this hold in the new age".

Doesn't make it non exhausting, just understandable

FergusArgyllon Ask HN: New clean macOS install. Must-have apps? Best browser?

https://magnet.crowdcafe.co/ needs an `m` at the end, https://magnet.crowdcafe.com/

FergusArgyllon Ask HN: Are people generally interested using LLMs for learning purposes?

Why do you need an app? I learn using AI, I don't see what needs to be improved (Aside from making it smarter etc. which an app can't do)

FergusArgyllon Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger blocked from editing Wikipedia

> it talks about what the Frankfurt school was actually about

Can you quote it here? I seem to have missed it in my rereading.

FergusArgyllon Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger blocked from editing Wikipedia

I see. But there's pages about other aspects of Marxist theory some of which I'm sure was used to excuse crimes against humanity by the Nazis and other evil doers. See here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Marxism

In general Wikipedia takes an anti censorship approach regarding articles which can cause evil.

So why is the aspect of Marxism which deals with culture completely taboo and not represented? I'm not even sure if it's due to something bigger I just think the article on cultural marxism might be one of the worst on Wikipedia.

FergusArgyllon Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger blocked from editing Wikipedia

Are you implying I'm a Nazi for thinking that there's a cultural component to Marxist thought some of which is present in modern culture?!

If I misunderstood your comment, I apologize

FergusArgyllon Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger blocked from editing Wikipedia

If there's one article that shows the problem with Wikipedia it's the one you're quoting and it's sister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_th... which says that cultural marxism is an anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

And then you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School and leave confused...

Edit: for example, here's a passage from the wiki page on frankfurt school.

Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment, written during the Institute's exile in America, was published in 1944. While retaining many Marxist insights, this work shifted emphasis from a critique of the material forces of production to a critique of the social and ideological forces brought about by early capitalism.

So, culture? and marxism?

Thanks!

Google can't do it, OpenAI didn't do it, Meta didn't do it etc etc.

Why do you think China will?

FergusArgyllon Ask HN: Is there a way to stop the animated Google Doodles?

On 149.0.7827.156, Zapper mode still works for me. However...

If you just open a new tab and use google that way, it seems zapper mode doesn't work there. If you navigate to google.com it does work there.

I think Chrome might lock down what's really a chrome page and not let extensions mess around.
