Did nullbio say something like that? There are a lot of people on hn, and they have a lot of differing opinions.

I would take stagnation if I didn't have to die on a fucking schedule like now.

They closed all their russian office locations at the start of the Ukraine war afaik so I wouldn't call it russian any more.

Because LEO is a degrading orbits, meaning that the satelites fall out of orbit after a few years on their own.

You got me curious now, in what ways do you think you are racist? Racists usually don't think they are racists, I would think, but maybe I'm wrong

It's just standard nerd drama. Nothing good comes of it but it doesn't matter at all either. Just shake your head and move on with your life.

I never thought about it before now but the llm era could be a form of renaissance for blind people on the Internet. An alternative web where functionality of every page is described in short but detailed text instead of extremely verbose and non-linear html tree structure.

I mean, i can assure you that I am not a bot either, but wouldn't a bot say that? :p

A few years ago i had laser eye surgery and now i can see well. Something that was not possible 50 years ago. Claiming that EVERY new technology comes at the expense of normal people is an absurd statement.

Slightly OT: How is it possible that the operators are unidentified? Surely someone must own the domain and pay upkeep for that? Wouldn't that expose at least one of them?

Thanks for supporting tinitus research. It gives me some hope that there will be a treatment someday.
