Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
I conceive and build LLM tools operating at scale. I teach the adventurous to seize a new frontier.

What Hacker News says?
He isn't very fond of HN / Y Combinator as well. His article "Y Combinator and the Negative Externalities of Hackernews" (2014) http://danilocampos.com/2014/09/y-combinator-and-the-negativ... and the HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8389163

HN discussionThe term "privilege" is being used here in the social sense of the word, not the generic sense of the word. Which, to me as somebody who's spent a decent bit of time wrestling with the fact that, yes, I am incredibly privileged, is actually a little irritating--it's jargon but many people try to wedge it in as a normal word, much like (but less egregiously than) how Stallmanites try to co-opt "free". > If a person w…

HN discussionOddly, the only thing I said PG _should_ do is open a dialogue with some of his critics. This is a much better explanation http://danilocampos.com/2013/12/explained-why-people-are-ang...

HN discussionGladly. I think that both people and governments should work from both stories and statistics. Statistics help us understand one way. As narrative creatures, stories help us differently. In particular, I think empathy is much easier to find with stories than raw data, and empathy is vital for functioning societies. As to noticing privilege, I think we have good ways to measure some sorts of privilege. E.g.: http://w…

HN discussionI'm not here to have a "discussion" with someone who's desperate to defend the powerful from facing their own malfeasance. Your remarks and lack of self-awareness show that you're part of the problem. I don't see any benefit to investing meaningful time in reaching you. I've provided a case and actionable suggestions here, at a length of 745 words. I'm not going to give you 745 more. http://danilocampos.com/2014/09/…

HN discussionOff the top of my head: I was encouraged from an early age in math and science. I was given computer-ish toys (Big Trak represent!) and, later, computers. When I went with my dad to work and played around with their computing gear, nobody said that wasn't something boys should do. In my computer classes, everybody looked just like me. Nobody ever told me that I was good at these things "for a boy". Nobody suggested…
