fritz posted:radu_floricica 20 hours ago [–] quote:radu_floricica 22 hours ago [–] you should avoid mentoring women because, much like motorcycle accidents, creeping on them is inevitable quote:Also, there's another thing I wanted so say from the beginning. People keep throwing around ideas like "you should never date people you're in a position of power over". Sure, when that position is that of a teacher, (foster) parent or coach, I totally agree it's a bad idea, most of the time. But if, like Aubrey, you're at the top of your professional domain... who exactly are you going to date? You're working, talking and socializing with people in your professional area 99% of the time. Yeah, you should pay extra care, but in the end you'll still end up dating in the same pool. this guy is definitely a frequent flyer on a whisper network DaTroof fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Aug 12, 2021 |

DaTroof posted:you should avoid mentoring women because, much like motorcycle accidents, creeping on them is inevitable radu_floricica 1 day ago [–] In an era that should have equal opportunity a non-issue, we're move straight into the opposite direction. Aubrey de Gray may be canceled. But the the most salient lesson here? Don't mentor young women, especially if they're remotely attractive. It's far from being worth the risk. You think I'm exaggerating? What could kill a successful career these days? If you'll excuse me a flippant comparison, even a double digit chance of having caused Covid isn't doing it. But an accusation of misconduct years ago can. Just ponder the odds a bit. So what would motivate somebody to risk this? "Just don't be a creep"? poo poo, if you think you can interact a couple of years with a pretty woman and are 100% certain you'll never flirt, you're... I was about to say "a better man than I", but on second thought, that's inhuman. Not the "not flirt" part, plenty of men succeed. But the being sure you won't, not with multiple women, over many years. I'm giving myself much better lifetime odds of not crashing my motorcycle. So again... what's to gain for a successful professional in academia or business, to work with and mentor young women, when it's literally the only major risk on one's career? There are enough bright young men that are much safer. reply

eurasiantiger 1 hour ago [–] Everything in your statement is false. Most people don’t have the skills required to benefit from owning or operating a 3D printer, so most people don’t have anything to do with them. They are still an emerging technology, with new applications reported steadily. Still, they are very interesting to most people, because 3D printing is basically wizardry in their eyes. This use case is definitely novel, it even says so on the article. It may not be interesting to you, but your strong reaction reveals that you are actually angry at the feelings provoked by the article, and it might do you good to take a moment to analyse WHY you are having that kind of emotional reaction. reply

I didn’t know how to write about my sister’s death, so I had AI do it for me (believermag.com) 29 points by gozzoo 4 hours ago stavros 1 hour ago [–] I don't know, I thought some of them were great. "I thought my body had died without telling me", for example, I found surprisingly good, and some other parts I found insightful. What did you find soulless? I wonder if you'd have the same opinion if you didn't know it's GPT-3. reply

I read the post and the interesting bit is that the author just writes prompts, and as the AI writes disappointing/inaccurate text, she in turn makes the prompt longer and more descriptive. It takes about 10 runs, until you see that she has finally written the full story about the death of her sister herself, which she never managed to do before. like of course HN gets hung up on whether gp3 is good or not because they’ll stare at the computer the way nbsd would stare at your shoes, but the good stuff is in the author making her own progress in writing about a painful event.

sandworm101 14 minutes ago [–] >> then they will do the reasonable thing and prioritize sending oxygen to the hospitals Better idea: Declare open season on vaccine disbelievers. Issue hunting permits and dart guns. Google and Facebook can help. Anyone posting anti-vaccine rants will have their location added to the hunting ap. With the number of hunters in Florida the problem could be solved by the end of the week. Seriously, this is gone far enough. We have a government talking about cutting back on water because hospitals are overwhelmed with the unvaccinated. Two of the greatest public health revolutions, modern hospitals and clean water, are now fighting each other for resources. reply

systemvoltage 3 hours ago [–] Zeitgeist is caused by the pandemic x social media outrage x hardships due to lost jobs. Everyone is glued to the internet and we've started to form factions. It's hard to conjecture this, let alone prove it, but a strawman take I feel like is adversarial foreign powers have influenced the social media outrage narratives to destroy the western spirit from inside out. HN is reflecting larger trends. Western spirit was about putting behind differences and doubling down on cooperation. Looking back, from post-WWII to now, I get goosebumps and feel sad that this is what we've become. Nothing has changed in terms of good vs. evil of technology. Fundamentals are still the same. Not even space exploration has escaped HN's cynicism. It's time for me to move onto some other place. reply

There was a thread a couple days ago where some people were complaining about the HN culture changing (naturally the things they were complaining about seemed like improvements to me): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28259153 I've always found it interesting how the HN culture of temporarily embarrassed entrepreneurs is so different from the culture of sites like slashdot during its heyday. I'm not even sure whether it's different people or whether it's the same people and getting paid better and seeing the possibility of even more money from the startup grift just made them shittier. Edit: Oh yeah this was the thread the thing Fritz quoted was from. mystes fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Aug 25, 2021 |

someone should make a text generation bot trained on the full corpus of HN comments (weighted by number of responses, of course) and then just set it loose on HN under an alias feed it the story and other comments for a prompt when someone replies, feed it the comment and reply for a prompt etc
