Nature has a paywall?

Most news does not come from the government. The problem is there legitimately was fake news and misinformation during Covid. Government at least tries to get it right while acting cautious. To expect the government to wait until it’s certain about something when it could instead save hundreds of thousands to millions of lives by being proactive is the radical position.
dd36··on Argonne: Lithium-Air battery 1200 wh/kg, 1000 cycles
Yep, nothing has happened in the market for the last ten years…

It’s implied by the focus on government, specifically.
dd36··on Eggspensive
I think it’s because you pick government. I don’t have faith in any large organization public or private not being corrupted. So if you merely don’t have faith in government, it implies you do have faith in non-government entities.

Most news? Government press conferences? What?

dd36··on SpaceX drops plans to convert oil rigs into launch platforms
I still am kind of amazed that Space X is allowed to launch near a protected wetland. It must be so loud and there must be some pollution.

I installed solar on my house and my prices are essentially fixed.
dd36··on Creating a landing page using AI tools and no code
What is thinking?
dd36··on 200-year old heat pump technology is back
Anywhere with solar.

Gas leaks from distribution are something to consider too.

What BS?

Switching from Davinci to Curie.
dd36··on New neural network architecture inspired by neural system of a worm
We are nature. For all we know the solutions that cells came up with were derived in similar ways. Kevin Kelly’s “What Technology Wants” documents how evolution repeats itself in our technology.
dd36··on Bill would ban the teaching of scientific theories in Montana schools
Seems like they must sue if that’s the law? Otherwise they’re not independent as the law requires?

Tyrannical seems like a stretch?

dd36··on Bill would ban the teaching of scientific theories in Montana schools
What’s an example of something tyrannical they’ve done such that science is now a target?
dd36··on Ask HN: Isn't ChatGPT unfair to the sources it scraped data from?
I don't think they're doing anything wrong. Indeed, I think they're performing a public service that none of the others seemed positioned to do. The default is to keep advances private.
dd36··on Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
Or maybe it will make clickbait and SEO less valuable so original content becomes valuable again?
dd36··on Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
So like search?
dd36··on Ask HN: Isn't ChatGPT unfair to the sources it scraped data from?
Do you want companies to do this in private for private gain and not share it with you? Because making it illegal will just make it happen in greater secrecy.

dd36··on AI Generated Seinfeld runs 24/7 on Twitch
Wee input a lot more than text.
dd36··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
Agree. I think that fully explains all of TSLA’s movement. Mostly HODL but then Elon had to sell into light purchasing. Since he stopped, purchasing again outpaces selling so we get a steady rise.
dd36··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
Stock buybacks aren’t on the Income Statement…
dd36··on Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results
Markets measure the tiny fraction of buyers and sellers on a given day and ignore the super majority of holders. It almost feels like length of ownership should be more determinative of price movements than anything else. If long-term holders start selling, it’s concerning.
dd36··on BuzzFeed says it will use AI to help create content, stock jumps 150%
Doubt they have a choice.
dd36··on Digitec Galaxus now displays warranty score and return rate
That’s how grocery stores work now.
