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.

Vernor Vinge, patron saint of the singularity and noted winner of a couple of libertarian fiction awards, has passed. HN wanted a black bar[1] but were denied. They compensated by posting a lot of bad takes.

I had been mercifully spared from her nontechnical opinions until now.
she's a fascist.
Yeah I can tell. So much for that respect.
That’s how she’s got a lot of people’s respect, with them being unaware of the other shit. There’s some history going way back to OWS, recommendations that people read Moldbug, and other off-colour shit. I don’t have a link handy immediately but it shouldn’t be too hard to find

Fuck, that's disappointing. I remember being quite impressed with her "a truly universal binary execution format" blog post detailing a way to compile c code into a sort of self-executing portable archive (unless I'm mixing things up - she is the person running justine.lol, is she not?).
Thanks for sharing those articles.
oh she's very good technically! also a Nazi
