Who's funding this?

I still don't get why, after over a decade on HN, people refuse to Google very simple questions.

  • Reciprocally, people probably do go find out. The great filter is also how many of them come back to post the useful interesting information.

  • I still don't get why, after 25 years of slashdot, still ask why people DRTFA and complain about it as meta commentary.

    InB4: kids these days :shakes-fist-at-cloud:

  • Sometimes we just enjiy having a conversation with people. It's how we got many answers before Google exists. I believe such choices have many, positive effects on people that society is losing.

  • quesiton is more like "lets analyze the motivations behind funding this"

    • And a much better post would be "Just checked, and X, Y, and Z are funding this. My bet is that Y is funding it because $REASON..."

      Asking an easily-searchable question is just lazy.

  • because my templeos goes straight from ring0 after bios straight into a ui for hackernews that only lets me scroll, click into comments and type comments.

    • Try using the same Internet that you used to download templeos to search for stuff.

  • I don't get why anyone posts anything on HN when they can just have an LLM generate an entirely self-contained conversation now.

    The conversation is why.
