<p>I have no clue why you were getting voted down, but I agree. AI generated music isn't art. There's no soul in that, no experience.</p>

<p>I'm saying that words have meaning and that meaning should ideally not diluted. But, considering the developer licensed their project as MIT, I'm very happy.</p>

<p>as a trans woman, the clotting risk of estrogen proportional to levels is always cited to me by medical professionals when speaking about hrt, the risks, ...<p>i've always found it kind of weird, like being told taking estrogen will cause "increased chance of breast cancer"; yeah, if you grow breasts, you will have more breast cells, more cell division, more chance for errors, no? but that's (at least partially) why i'm doing the whole thing to begin with...? :p<p>and then they skimp on the doses...<p>if this were statistically significant to such a degree that it truly mattered, women would not live longer than men on average. i feel like people get lost in the sheer stats of it</p>

<p>I would probably argue the opposite, given that Y Combinator is a venture capital firm. This would be more true for Lobsters than here.<p>(Edit: to go further, it's like... ok, if HN is far-left, what does that make Bluesky? What does that make the Fediverse? It feels almost reductive to compress the range of HN onwards down to "far-left".)</p>

<p>This misses the point of <i>how</i> "deportation", snatching of those from communities and decision-making for whom is illegal is actually occurring, and how people are being snatched with disregard to their actual state as a citizen, resident or otherwise of the United States of America.<p>When facial recognition is said to outrank any other proof, such as a birth certificate, one cannot claim to be operating in good faith when one allows for fallible systems to decide the lives of American citizenry, encourages false imprisonment and allows for violence to be recklessly committed against people who were guilty of no crime at all.<p>(also, the United States and Canada are alike in their statuses as countries formed of immigrants; we close the door now simply because we feel those coming today are ineducated or don't fit our racial preferences? No different than was done to Chinese people say a hundred years prior.)</p>
