endorphinbomber··on Ask HN: What is the weirdest or most surreal recent technology you have seen?
You realize it had the constraints of a poem, and needed to take some liberty with description there?
endorphinbomber··on Who knew the first AI battles would be fought by artists?
Have to disagree with point 1, often this is what artists are doing. More strictly in the music part (literally playing others songs), less strictly in the drawing part. But copying, incorporating and developing are some of the core foundations of art.
endorphinbomber··on Proof of solvency and beyond
>the problem of fraudulent business practices isn't specific to crypto at all

The scale and the percentage of "legit" to "scam" definitely is.

Still remember when I pulled out my money out of Bittrex 2 hours before they shut down for half a year. Had a funny feeling and still can't explain, congrats to your intuiton.
endorphinbomber··on Scientists Increasingly Can’t Explain How AI Works
You can't explain your own thoughts and actions??? I'm sorry, but that's part of makes a valuable team mate or partner. This is not fundamentally human, this is trained behaviour. I am very well capable of expressing my thougts and explaining actions resulting from these thoughts.
endorphinbomber··on Private Prisons Are Behind the Push for Homeless Criminalization

endorphinbomber··on Elon Musk moves ahead with Twitter deal in 13D filing
Maybe get some first hand information on something before wishing to blow it up because someone told you it's bad? Never understood people taking joy and having fun watching others work get ripped apart.
endorphinbomber··on The 'attention economy' corrupts science
None of the links concludes that interactions with groups above the size of the dunbar number are detremental. None of this says that large gatherings are "unnatural" and certainly does not provide arguments why we should not allow gatherings or interactions beyond a certain point of people involved. It states that there is a certain number we can actively and comfortably manage, but nothing about the quite wide reaching things you postulated.
endorphinbomber··on The 'attention economy' corrupts science
You are saying that we should prohibit large group gatherings, because they are "unnatural" and "unhealthy" yet provide not a single source or even definition what a large group is supposed to be. Quite grandiose and all encompassing statement to be not backed up by even a single mentioned source.
