Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It is a very highly resistive poor quality material. Period. No point in fighting with the truth. Data have spoken.

The way this phrase is worded is weird in my opinion. It sounds more like a political statement rather than a scientific one.

This isn't the first unprofessional message from that Twitter account during the lk99 saga. Their biased tone makes them untrustworthy. Even more than anime girl et al

I keep seeing posts exactly like these from the orange site’s top minds. it’s not doing what they think it’s doing for their reputation as science understanders. shit, anyone who’s hung around in a lab when a result won’t replicate knows the tone of that tweet

A based take on markets. I agree with this statement.

I nominate the term "orange poster" (and possibly "orange poaster" for the rats) henceforth

Just because a Twitter said it's over doesn't mean it's over. Prediction markets still think there's a ~1/5 chance of it being legit.

This is basically the epitome of postmodernism these people love dunking on. There's no external truth, only utterances. When prediction markets have hegemony, that will be Truth.

unlike you, science-believing simpletons, i get truth about the world from the only reliable source: weighted average of gut feelings of gamblers pretending to be day traders
