colpabar··on Pentagon Influencer Called Liberal Women 'Pestilence' Who Will End Civilization
why is this on hn?
colpabar··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
What I don't understand is how much people have to say about every single one. Aren't we at the diminishing returns stage yet? Is there really that much to discuss?
colpabar··on Has Violence Against Teachers Become Accepted by Society?
you didn't capitalize black so you're racist btw
colpabar··on I said no and Apple said yes
is this a copypasta? _this_ is your answer to "linux is too hard to use for most people"?
colpabar··on Rapid warming may tip AMOC at 2°C, slower warming may avert collapse
> I don’t give a damn, to be perfectly honest, what some sign posted god knows when with who knows what information, says. This is a man made global catastrophe. Information and research is very clear and very robust.

It's great that you are smarter than everyone else, but if you want policy to change in democratic countries, you need to convince people to vote for politicians who will enact said policy changes. You have to convince people, not make them feel stupid. I would argue that the way you are engaging with the parent comment is actually working against your desired outcome, and I really wish people would realize that and stop all the annoying scolding. You aren't helping!

> it’s actually psychotic how little we talk about the cryosphere collapse

Why would anyone want to talk about this if you are just going to yell at them?

I know it seems silly and it is probably very frustrating, but nothing is going to change unless you get the votes to change it.

colpabar··on U of Michigan drops first-semester grades to ‘curb mental health crisis’
Won't they need a reprieve next semester since they'll have to go through the same thing?
colpabar··on U of Michigan drops first-semester grades to ‘curb mental health crisis’
Did you worry about any of those things as a freshman?
colpabar··on Canceling "Hey"
comments like these really grind my gears. are those really the only things you can imagine people don't like about "homeless encampments"? graffiti??
colpabar··on IRGC claims it destroyed Amazon's Bahrain data center
to die for israel
colpabar··on ICE to Pay Thomson Reuters $125M to Find Voter Fraud
nice zinger, but they can still vote, and ignoring them does not seem to be working.
colpabar··on Bryan Johnson: I have an autoimmune disease. My stomach is eating itself
Could you elaborate? Which ones do you buy, what do they do, and what made you want to start taking them?
colpabar··on Deepfakes Tore a High School Apart
No you are correct. A lot of people seem to think that the solution is to tell all the girls who are affected by this to get over it and that they should be flattered.
colpabar··on The buns in McDonald's Japan's burger photos are all slightly askew
I don’t think this is a japanese thing. The way they are askew feels familiar; I have definitely seen food that looks weirdly “off” on other menus. It’s probably just a way to stand out, like how so many models have gaps between their two front teeth. You’re gonna remember the one that’s different.
colpabar··on The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Worse Than You Thought
Usually threads like this fill up with comments about how "think of the children" is always a lie used to justify something draconian. I agree with that to an extent, but for those who think that applies here, is there _nothing_ we can do as a society to address this? I'd like a better answer than "let parents deal with it," and the whole "this wouldn't be a problem if america wasn't so puritanical maaaaaan" argument is total bullshit that completely ignores the young girls who get hurt by this.
colpabar··on Sam Altman's home targeted in second attack
I love when the comments start out a little spicy, all the spicy comments get flagged or removed, and the top comment becomes "wow, I can't believe all these spicy comments, I thought HN was better than this."
colpabar··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans
> I shouldn't be downvoted for my English I think, but that is the reality.

How do you know? Is it possible the downvoters just didn't like what you said?

colpabar··on I dropped our production database and now pay 10% more for AWS
This is what I can't get over - who in their right mind would _ever_ give an agent enough access to delete prod data?
colpabar··on Undo in Vi and Its Successors
fun fact: sublime text also has a vim mode (called "Vintage mode" which is just hilarious) that is built-in but disabled by default, rather than an extension like in vscode. vim keybinds are just the best.
colpabar··on Privilege is bad grammar
It's funny she mentions the horrible grammar in the leaked sony emails because that's what I remember most from it too. This one always gets a laugh from me.

colpabar··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
why did you make a new account just to make this comment?
colpabar··on AI agent opens a PR write a blogpost to shames the maintainer who closes it
that's all that happens on this website
colpabar··on Cannabis usage in older adults linked to larger brain, better cognitive function
I think the percentage of people who drink alcohol and have never done any drugs is >50%, and I would bet that the percentage of people who smoke weed (not just once) who have also done other drugs is like 95%. There are plenty of people who will binge drink every weekend but think that smoking a joint is too far. I find that strange, but it is surprisingly common.
colpabar··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Comments like this just make me think people are jealous that right wing groups aren't good at organizing.
colpabar··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
your comment will surely help!
colpabar··on Celebrities say they are being censored by TikTok after speaking out against ICE
This will sound crazy but this is why I still use 4chan. Everyone is anonymous, there is no voting, and the only moderation is to remove illegal things or flagrant rule breaking. It's 99% dogshit (and worse), but if you go into it knowing that, you can find some good stuff sometimes. Not good as in morally good, just sometimes someone will post a link to a video or an article that will actually make me think.

Here, and on reddit, and anywhere with voting or people caring about the number next to their username, it's the most popular opinions at the top and everything else at the bottom or flagged. I genuinely don't understand what people get out of that.

And I guess I should specify that this is also why political topics get flagged. Sure, it probably has a lot to do with people flagging stuff that goes against their beliefs. But I also think that political threads here offer absolutely nothing aside from reaffirming existing beliefs. No one is trying to change anyone's minds, everyone is just yelling at each other. Threads about actual tech stuff can be very interesting and I do learn things from them sometimes. But political threads here are worthless.

edit: I do not mean /pol/, no one should ever go there

colpabar··on Estimating the perceived 'claustrophobia' of New York City's streets (2024)
Good point about the scaffolding. I stayed for a few days in the financial district last year and walking around outside the hotel felt like being underground.
colpabar··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Yes. This is currently the best tool to handle python environments and dependencies and it's very popular. If you learn uv, and you really don't need to learn that much other than how to specify a python version and your dependencies, you (hopefully) should be set for a long time.
colpabar··on Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agreeing new rules
Yes! There is no character limit here. It drives me bonkers when I read comments like that one. What is anyone supposed to get out of it? It has the same meaning as "lol".

Comments like that are why I left reddit - they do not foster discussion, they are low-effort attempts at getting updoots. If the only meaning that can be extracted from a comment is "I disagree", it shouldn't be a comment, it should be a downvote. It's a waste of an indentation level.

colpabar··on PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports
I would say in that case, the Parent and Child shouldn't need to know about each other - some kind of handler in a different file should.

Although I guess that doesn't work in all cases, like defining foreign key relationships when using an orm (like sqlalchemy) for example. But in the orm case, the way to get around that is... lazy resolution :^)

colpabar··on PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports
This is what I thought of too. I really only know python, do other languages not have that issue? In python it does not seem like a "problem" to me - whenever I have seen circular import issues it is because the code is organized poorly. I worry that this feature will lead to devs "fixing" circular import issues by using lazy imports.
