I tend to suspect it based on a number of factors:

- Maeterial or topic. Quantified material, especially business, finance, and sport, read this way most often. Occasionally procedural stories, regional government or legal stories especially. Not typically hyperlocal news (though at times even that), but major-metro or state-level, usually less-significant events.

- Bylines or agency credit. Unfamiliar names, names typical of foreign regions with low wages and a large English-speaking population (Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, etc.). A few agencies specialising in outsourced and/or algorithmically-assisted artical generation are known (see the Wired article below).

- Less word salad than paragraph salad. Suspect articles tend to have consistency within a given sentence, but a larger-scale structure seems missing. Normal journalism has this problem frequently enough that this isn't a certain tell, but it does have a smell about it. Contrast with well-strutcured narrative, say, typical of a New Yorker artical. Much algorithmic writing seems to rely heavily on syntactic sugar. I feel often as if someone's reading me a chart or an event timeline, whilst trying to hide the fact. Much GPT-3 content has this nature. I shows no understanding of the content or context.

I'm sincerly hoping your question isn't asked in hopes of improving the deception ...

I agree. At least 25% of topics are flame war political posts. If you have the wrong opinion you are downvoted. So it makes the community feel pretty bad. I would like to see a policy change. But I won't hold my breath.
here's a script to walk back to your oldest comment URL: https://gist.github.com/llimllib/b96bf6e63246f50ecfc6e70c884...

my first three comments, 14 years ago, were:

- telling somebody it's worthwhile to learn vim (still using vim all day erryday)

- posting a desktop screenshot (which URL, sadly, does not resolve... I'll have to see if I can dig it up)

- praising the Dina font (I forgot that I ever used that, I've been on Iosevka for a while and Hack before that)
"VGA" can also mean any graphics card with a VGA connector (including SVGA modes.) By the time the Amiga 3000 came out, the original VGA was 5 years old, and SVGA was very popular. SVGA is what the Amiga 3000 was competing with... at least 800x600 with 256 colors. ECS couldn't keep up with that. By the time AGA was released, it was too little, too late.
there's enough who believe it that I still get emails asking for help with dealing with it (I wrote most of the Roko's Basilisk article on RationalWiki)
That is saying the misinformation comes from companies gaming the news feeds and not the people choosing friends, influencers or groups of the former that re-enforce their feelings of victimhood?

I mean are we upset at targeted ads, or the sea of misinformation and biases that are fostered by social media? The seeds of which are often political AM radio and TV news networks.

Isn't significant indentation less verbose than Lua's use of `do ... end`?

we are drowning in demand as we have manual processes. Multiple times our CEO (cofounder) has threatened to quit because the demand is too much and she has had a hard time finding people that can do the job. We had to put a minimum order size in to reduce the number of orders and we are still hitting records. We also temporarily stopped taking orders for items that require the most "order processing" time.

We are currently building the features that will automate more of the manual processing to free up time. But everyday I feel bad as I see the order count going up knowing the CEO is miserable. The CEO wants to do fundraising but is helping to process orders (the orders are complex) so doesnt have time.

Arrington, you here?
Blast from the past. Worked with him at PGP in 2000. I’m not convinced he was satoshi. But it wouldn’t surprise me if he really was.
I signed up in 2013 but I had been lurking for way longer. I have unreliable memories of discovering the site back in 2008. I immediately knew I stumbled upon something special and the comment section ended up having a huge influence in my life. I was only in high school back then, so pretty much everything felt more intimate and meaningful. Most of all, reading Hacker News fueled my vicarious fantasy of a better life in the US. In the last few years I've been growing increasingly disillusioned with American culture though. My heart is just not there anymore.
It sounds more like a background contrast issue, if you dimmed your device would you still have it even without warm filters?

If you are serious about the effects, don’t bother with the software just get yellow glasses so you don’t need software. I don’t have any issue with blue light as long as the screen is not a high contrast to the background.

Is that only because it’s bright and contrasts strongly with the darkness? A dim one without a color filter looks fine to me.

Without "the best" the title reads to me as that they somehow removed chunk of original Windows and replaced it with WSL. That's why I came to this topic. I thought to myself - really - so they now replacing windows code with Linux? Original title is clear and not clickbaity.
As much as I hate it, I disagree. There are more users than ever. old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com are fine. I have a problem with my older device on it, newer one is fine, it’s worst yes but it’s not unusable, we’re used to older technology (like too small fonts and zooming in) the new interface is more attractive to other people, we are the ones who will remember what a headphone jack was.
A million miles is absolutely nothing on this level to prove a technology, it needs to work everywhere where diesel works today to make it viable for long haul. In NL there are only a few places where Hydrogen is available and the number of hydrogen vehicles can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Forklifts do not operate on highway distances, but instead they operate in very limited areas around where they can be immediately serviced.

Toyota is also still on the hydrogen-for-vehicular use bandwagon but it looks as though all electric has the future, and I really don't see how fuel cell tech has an edge over battery tech, especially not with the new battery chemistries that are becoming available for large scale use.

I found the headline here actually incomprehensible. Had Microsoft built Windows 11 on top of WSL? Built part of it that way?

What you'd means is "Windows 11 includes a revamped Windows Subsystem for Linux" if you wanted to removed the editorializing. But the article is editorializing - they don't like the rest of windows 11 and say so.

I agree that looking at HN when a study proves/disproves something is a funny case study on confirmation bias but likewise just blindly accepting the conclusions of a study is also wrong.

In reality I think for the average person it's most useful to completely ignore all studies they encounter until they are presented with a meta-analysis (at least) and the inputs of at least a few knowledgeable scientists on the interpretation of said meta-analysis.

Science is really fuzzy, especially when a topic is under-studied, trusting/distrusting a single study just on the basis of one study, based on some anecdotes or even based on an observation that people are being biased against it is bad in general.
I am not "upset". Since there is no literate reading of this thread that would yield such a conclusion, I suspect you might be projecting... I don't claim this is tax evasion. ProPublica didn't claim this is tax evasion: "Certainly, there are illegal tax evaders among them, but it turns out billionaires don’t have to evade taxes exotically and illicitly — they can avoid them routinely and legally." When rich people write laws, they usually don't write laws they'll need to violate.

Since most people don't own billions of dollars worth of shares in giant firms, this "treatment" is certainly not what "everybody gets". Not even the billionaires' most ardent online white knights get this treatment.
I don't deny there is a 'syndrome'. But I am increasingly confident that it is a workplace injury. Perhaps it should be called 'Spook Syndrome'. There is something that those embassy people are doing or have had done to them that is the cause of it.

Previous Syndromes:

Agent Orange Syndrome caused by exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War and causing cancers and child malformities. It took decades before the government would accept that it was a real 'workplace injury' and they were liable for Vets' (and their families') injuries.

Gulf Syndrome. Once again it was poo-hooed by the government for about 20 years before it was worked out that it also was a 'workplace injury' and caused by the physostigmine injections given to the troops to guard against nerve-agent gas attacks.

The government this time is also preferring to blame some shadowy adversary for 'Havana Syndrome', rather than admit that it's a 'workplace injury' and leaving themselves open to millions or even billions of dollars in Workers' Compensation claims.

Even the 'Havana Syndrome' name is a misdirection, like the 'Wuhan Virus' garbage name that was bandied about last year. There have been syndrome occurrences all over the world, even in Washington DC. Note that it isn't called 'Washington Syndrome'.
Do you have a source pointing at that common definition? I lived a majority of my life in the West US (ID, MT, WA), and have never heard North Dakota referred to as the West.

I would expect to see ad/tracker blocking technology to advance as the users encounter more invasive types of tracking. But what if the server requires that information as part of a request to serve content in it's response?

This will always be a cat and mouse issue, and unfortunately right now most of the authority is on the server side. The data-driven web that TimBL envisions is just not profitable enough and content has to be heavily intertwined with distractions and trackers to monetise us cattle. See RSS.

I made such a thing using a board called "Teensy LC." I'm a long time user of Teensy boards for prototyping in an R&D environment, and the LC is the cheapest. My interest was just PgUp and PgDn buttons for a foot pedal page turner.

In addition, I programmed an ESP32 board to do the same thing, but as a Bluetooth keyboard. Both the Teensy and ESP32 can be programmed via the Arduino development environment.

Now there's cheap and there's cheap. The stuff I use is cheap in terms of, it won't break the bank for a R&D or hobby project. Then there's cheap in terms of wringing cost out of a commercial product, which I know little to nothing about.

>in theory with the use of digital networks we should have a quantum leap forward but I am not sure we have seen yet any dividend of that. our collective (digitally intermediated) brain has been hijacked by less noble objectives

It's not just less noble objectives. With high quality information available, people still choose poor info or mis/disinfo. Nobody I know is interested in quality information, even very educated people. Even here on HN, most sources are Wikipedia.
There would be no decapitation. If the allies were capable of surgically removing a government they would have done it with Germany or Japan.

The prevailing military doctrine at the time was ‘total war’, and it was implemented with strategic bombing campaigns. The weapons were so inaccurate that they simply kept dropping bombs until everything was destroyed.

Any war on the Soviet Union, either nuclear or with conventional firebombing would have caused massive civilian casualties.

Most tech, even the overhyped stuff, seriously outlives the news cycle. Type into trends.google.com something that was popular a few months ago, you'll see what I mean.

For example, remember Cathie Wood? She's already forgotten. The "Facebook whistleblower" will be forgotten in about a month.
Most business IT over a few hundred employees looks nothing like this. They’re going to be managed laptops with locked UEFI and, if you got past that, you or your manager would get a call from IT asking you why it isn’t showing up in the management system anymore and to ship it back for a restore.

At a larger enterprise organization (that isn’t tech/FAANG) it could be considered a fireable offense.

I didn't say the changes are positive, just that public opinion or outrage causes changes.

Voting rights certainly have advanced many times, including suffrage, voting rights for African-Americans in the 1960s, and smaller advances like motor-voter and mail-in ballots since then. The last few years have been awful, though.
