One word, transparency. Being open about the research and outcomes. This is a situation good science communicators can help with.

Engage the skeptics in open debate and address their concerns, not censorship and embarking on cancellation campaigns.

However uncomfortable it seems, the median person in society isn't going to do a thorough literature review to make up their mind, they'll do it based on personal instincts.

What do you all think about the "Solve It" method by the Answer dot AI folks?

It's more like iterating on the REPL with AI in the loop, meaning the user stays in control while benefitting from AI, so real growth happens.

Interesting thing to consider, in a couple of years, will there be a differentiator between people who are good at driving company-specific AI tools and those who are generally better by having built skills the hard way ground up with benefit of AI?

Only that you are incorrect that Elon hung out with Epstein. Unless there has been some new evidence

But is there proof Elon actually hung out with Epstein as the poster asserted?

Did Musk really hang out with Epstein? I only saw email conversations between the two.

By contrast, Bill Gates and Reid Hofmann hung out with Epstein A LOT.

And Hofmann was Epstein's primary connection into the Silicon Valley scene.

I know that self reported data is unreliable.

The person running this who was probably paid thousands of pounds worth of currency should have put in the time to produce a more accurate measure of mental health

How reliable is this study given that participants were asked to self report?

Without any context you might as well be arguing about favorite colors

Perhaps the reason people keep repeating it is that someone makes the statement without any reasons, provides an alternative again without any reasons.

"Why are you not using docker to sandbox your code?"

"Umm.. someone on HN told me docker is not a sandbox, to use randomtool instead"

Privacy is a big deal for many, especially if you grew up before the age of telemetry everywhere.

For now, a privacy preserving chromium fork will do, until hopefully the Ladybird project is mature enough to provide alternatives

Firefox doubled down on using/selling user data for advertising purposes, so that's a big reason for avoiding it.

I held onto it as someone who didn't even like the politics of the people behind it (the beauty of open source), for the sake of browser engine diversity, but changing terms of service of use of personal data was the final blow

Statistics show that kids brought up with both parents have much better prospects in life.

The decision to have kids should be a deliberate commitment between the parents, not some kind of lottery where one falls pregnant then decides what to do next.

It's better not to fall pregnant at all otherwise

> When Wayland replacing X, lots of cool window managers and mini applications will be gone.

There's hope due to the recent x11 fork, xlibre. They intend to keep x11 support ongoing

When thinking about Christianity, I personally make the distinction between the Christian faith, and the various Churches i.e. the political institutions that grew around the Christian faith.

In its first few centuries Christianity was community-centered, until about the 4th century when it started getting institutionalized in Rome.

Great job in training nigeriens to pick up fossil preservation work. Glad the government is taking a rational approach in collaborating with the US based archeologist.

The editors mostly reference left-leaning media outlets when it comes to political topics, without providing a counterbalance from right-leaning sources, assuming it were a truth-seeking endeavor.

As a non American this is very obvious to me.

Even Reuters that was supposedly meant to be a non-biased media outlet is clearly left-leaning at this point

Would this result in surprises like if a function is turned to async by adding an await keyword, all of a sudden all functions that have it in their call stack become async
