May I ask why.
jb1991··on Woman charged with computer fraud due to scam CashApp account being in her name
> Damned if you do, damned if you don't....

I’ve seen this phrase maybe 10 times in the last week on this site. Is this some new hacker news trend to pull out this old cliché on everything now?

jb1991··on ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy (2025)
One thing I have never understood about ADHD is that it seems the diagnostic criteria for it are widely different depending on the country. It tends to be significantly over diagnosed in some countries and perhaps under diagnosed others. I always found this rather strange. It suggests there is quite a lot that we don’t know about these kinds of issues.
jb1991··on OpenTPU – An open-source AI accelerator, developed by AI
I don’t disagree with most of what you’re saying, except for one point: I must have gotten a dumb dog, I’m a little jealous…
jb1991··on Sites in ChatGPT
I mean the post itself is indicating that he did not write any of it and that it was written by AI.

> it’s possible for some candidates to be paired with a company they don’t really like, but it’s considered a stable situation

Thus extrapolating to a dating app, it’s possible for someone in the matched pair to not really like the other person. Sounds like a rousingly success.

I also don't believe it.

So who were these mysterious Sea Peoples?

> configurations), the applicant is going to have the least favorable one among the different pairings.

I don’t understand why this would always be true. In your example, Google may indeed like Alice, so they both get their top choice.

> If every society that embraces a right fails in a similar way

which societies, which failures, which "every" are you referring to, exactly?

it's perhaps debatable, but the European (and French) legal frameworks do not recognize hate speech as protected free speech, so I suppose the concern (e.g. in the Bardot case) is if it was hate speech or not. Americans also do not support hate speech, though perhaps the way these are handled legally are different. I don't think this kind of exception is fairly applied to discredit what I wrote.

Sounds like a step in the right direction, then.

France has a constitutional right to free speech since at least the 18th century, not sure what you mean. There is a Declaration of the Rights of Man, which is still part of France's constitution. France is also bound by the EU Convention on Human Rights. Why would you compare France to Singapore in this regard? That's strange.

I find this algorithm to have a curious definition of the word "stable."

Humans are messy but long-term nothing good has ever come from repression.

The net effect is ultimately positive. Societies are healthier in many ways when people are free to speak their mind.
jb1991··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
It's also known as being one of the very few first-world countries actually without basic freedoms, like free speech, freedom of the press, etc.
jb1991··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
Not just one party, but one family.
jb1991··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
The article also mentioned that, but I don’t understand it. Receivers are also making choices, so why do they end up with the worst match?
jb1991··on AI chatbots give wrong answers to financial queries 'most of the time'
You actually like that? I find it kind of annoying.

Agree, the post was extremely low effort.

If there is a reference being made here, it’s not clear.
jb1991··on Two parallel neural ectoderm progenitors contribute to the developing brain
Hm, I’m of two minds on this one.
jb1991··on 4,400-Year-Old Tomb of Egyptian Judge Found at Saqqara with Colors on Walls
If I understand this finding correctly, it now means we have proof that ancient Egypt was not a life in black-and-white.

jb1991··on Matt Mullenweg tells Automattic staff in Slack he's back in control after ouster
Wait until you hear about the Beatles name.
jb1991··on Large language models develop novel social biases through adaptive exploration
Isn’t exploration vs exploitation about the decision-making process, not about the actual reality in the world around you? It doesn’t matter if they are secretly identical or not. The exploration/exploitation trade-off is in the person making those decisions.

Yes
jb1991··on How Universities Should Prepare Founders
And those who really burn for it probably are not needing university anyway. The landscape of wildly successful people is filled with those who dropped out of high school or college.
