Interesting take.

To me it feels like golden age of hackers in the 60s-80s (which was before my time but I heard stories about) where everybody is doing their own home grown research to the best of their abilities and sharing insights of varying quality.

But somehow these days if it's not all polished, HN "hackers" aren't interested.

Weird that people are floating the idea of kicking out of a tech forum the most important tech development of the last 10 years.

Not sure what that means about the community, but must mean something.

I think comedy trends have fashions. At the time comedians made jokes about religion, now they make jokes about trans people, or about being "canceled". When you narrow the range of jokes you might increase the joke collision rate.

Id be way more interested in hearing the store how a rando is allowed to work in the USA. He didn't have work permission.

Not a museum, but you might be interested to know that a lot of historians argue that "the industrialists" in late 1920s and 1930s Germany went along with the holocaust because for a lot of them it just meant more business, and for some free labour.

In fact if you consider the question of what's the difference between "fascism" and "authoritarianism", the answer is that fascism is a subset of authoritarianism that focuses of business.

So yes, a lot of it is about money/business/economic impact. Always has been.

Why are you minimizing my addiction.

Exactly. This reeks of snake oil.

I'm addicted to sugar. I have some trauma now? What trauma? My life has been relatively smooth sailing. You're right, this is just a way of creating the "need" for "therapy".

"I don't understand why ..." is a polite way of saying "I have some experience on the matter and have come up the belief that ...". The actual conclusion may still be wrong, but I hope this helps with your reading of my comment.

> The "why do they need so many people" were probably in favor of Musk ?

I can speak for myself. I think Enron Musk is a despicable person, and at the same time I don't understand why a shitty app needs so many people.

In defense of simpletons, that's how the average parent edcuates their average children, not just HN.

Were they? My recollection is that in the tech space a lot of people were saying "it's just an app, why do they need so many people"

You guys remember how 5+ years ago, an headline like this on HN would invariably prompt cries from the Americans that this was just the Europeans finding excuses to take advantage and steal from poor innocent American companies. How the mood has changed on this huh. I'm glad to see the European approach vindicated, even if at times not strong enough.

If I try to rob a bank and succeed, it's not my fault if the bank doesn't protect it's money sufficiently well.

Ironically, you missed the point. The person you're responding to is saying the opposite: the narrative (that there is something unique about how our brain solves problems) determines the money (invested).

TIL there actually is something called "no free lunch in search and optimization"[1].

See however that the theorem is quite weak. Requires eg the assumption that the search space has no structure. They even have the example of quadratic problems. It's mostly a useless saying, it appears to me.
