Just a NR talking with other naive realists: naive realism as a defining cultural trait of HN:

It operates as the manifestation of two ingrained beliefs:

1. When considering any question I must be rational and logical to the point of dismissing any unverifiable data as preposterous. (The idea that "I'm a logical person, all the subjective ideas you have, all the speculation you have... I don't care. I only go by the facts, I make my decisions based on those facts.")

Yet at the same time, the person holding this idea also holds this in their mind as well:

2. When considering any question, I'm going to assume that the information we currently have is all the information that will ever be available.

The problem: We use logic, but on the basis that everything we know currently is all there is to know about this thing. - Chuck Klosterman

abledon··on Tesla Fleet Telemetry
I'm a kubernetes noob, in https://github.com/teslamotors/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/...

why do they do `helm repo add teslamotors https://teslamotors.github.io/helm-charts/` instead of

`helm repo add teslamotors https://github.com/teslamotors/helm-charts/` ?

isn't the first one a webpage rather than a repo?

abledon··on Generative AI learning path
I find it weird that there are no images on this page, and they only use the colors white and blue.. I swear, the google design team is ignoring everyone who enjoys seeing more than 2-3 colors on a page. Icons with colors! Icons with colors! please. Azure knocks this concept out of the park, with AWS coming in a close second.

> We never did get to listen to it, though. Lunch ended and we went back to the meeting

perfect ending sentence. sums up the trope of the time-starved billionaire businessmen

abledon··on A good day with Jeff Bezos
Yes! My all time favourite, its almost seems too scripted to believe its real. Opening up the champagne infront of the recovered alcoholic and spraying it over Lauren haha
abledon··on Graphs That Explain Software Engineering Salaries in 2023
Graph7: SF Bay area salaries around 170K. With COL, wouldn't that be barely making a profit? Seems you'd have to live with atleast 3 roommates to be able to shelve away some profits
abledon··on Twitter engineering boss Foad Dabiri quits day after DeSantis launch glitches
hes stated that every single candidate is welcome. No one is being censored or prevented from coming on a space with him. I think its obvious no one will be truly neutral , as when it comes down to the ballot, you can only vote for one person. The platform however, is not censoring any one side's candidates.

> In addition to the points made by sibling replies I’ll also point out that the crashed Twitter Space was one where Musk helped a Republican presidential candidate launch his campaign. No matter which party is involved, that’s not something a neutral speech platform would ever involve itself in.

A neutral platform is _the best_ choice for all candidates to present their platform on. Its a common discussion space where both sides have an un-censored dialogue.

When candidates can tweet to one another, and community notes fact checks in real time, that will be great. One reason I think trump is hesitant to come back on.
