tannerwj··on Show HN: Can you tell if an image is AI-generated?
73% - wish I could've seen which ones I got right or wrong

It will be interesting when we get to a point where we can't tell a difference

tannerwj··on Why Cryptocurrencies?: For the Unbanked
For that you would just need some sort of Internet connection and some storage, nothing out of reach for the vast majority of people, or am I wrong again?
tannerwj··on Why Cryptocurrencies?: For the Unbanked
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't need a fast persistent Internet connection or enough storage to download the full Bitcoin/Ethereum blockchain to be able to send transactions correct?

It was probably just the shared secret, but private key sounds more techy.

tannerwj··on Show HN: I'm 12, learning JS, and wrote Wolfram's cellular automaton in Node
Looks great. I tried it and it runs fine. Nice syntax and convention.

Just a tip, you don't need to include `npm init` in your instructions. That command only needs to run when you create a new project. It worked just fine for me with just a `node index.js 18`

Great work!

Exactly. We don't need protections for the speech we like. Free speech exists for the speech we don't like.

Because it is based on supply and demand, it's just more volatile than what you're used to. Doesn't make it luck

Because Robin Hood gave back the money the rich stole from the poor. It is just a way to level the playing field

Because it is not luck that determines the outcome. However speculative Bitcoin is, it isn't based on luck
tannerwj··on Net Neutrality II (2014)
Exactly. Why do they all want more regulation to solve the problem that over regulation caused in the first place? Seems like a cyclical solution to me
tannerwj··on Why Climate Skeptics Are Wrong
Unfortunately, I can totally relate to him. I have been called a climate denier just for disagreeing with a proposed solution. Climate change and its proposed solutions (for one the Paris Accord) have almost a religious following that are quick to attack anyone who disagree with them on even the smallest point. It is no way to solve problems.
tannerwj··on Venture investors blast US decision to withdraw from Paris Climate Accord
I haven't claimed anything of the sort. I respect the scientific method more than most. At least read what I've written before you say such things. Climate change is an issue, but the Paris Accord is a horrible excuse at throwing money at a problem. And if you read what I said earlier it could have serious repercussions for people who cannot afford the price increases for energy.

We need to move past the 'climate denying' insults and work together to find actual feasible solutions. Downvoting/insulting/bashing anyone who doesn't agree with a solution will get us nowhere. This in itself is a serious problem and disagrees with the scientific method in every way.

tannerwj··on Venture investors blast US decision to withdraw from Paris Climate Accord
Sheesh, I'm getting downvoted to oblivion here just for having a differing opinion. Believe me, I've studied the science. I want to study it even more. I've just gained a different opinion based on that study than the majority on this chain obviously. I guess my opinion is not welcome.
tannerwj··on Venture investors blast US decision to withdraw from Paris Climate Accord
Agree to disagree I guess. Global warming is something that needs to be addressed, but it is being heavily exaggerated. This does not help anyone except for the alarmists. It causes us to put our resources in areas that aren't useful. That money could be spent much more wisely elsewhere. In addition, the US is already doing fine without government interference, as shown by the decrease in US CO2 emissions over the past 2 decades.

Besides all the jobs and other economic factors that would disadvantage the US on a global scale if they agreed to the accord, we just have to look to Germany - a country that is following the standards put in place by the accord - to see what the consequences would be. They pay more than 3x per kWh for electricity than the US. This might be something that the middle class and up could afford, but this would unfairly target the poor and in poorer countries would cause death and suffering. This alone is reason enough to look for better solutions.
