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 post gave me a couple rounds of whiplash but this was the hardest turn on the rollercoaster:
do you people come off a factory line like this?
Did they read the same article? It addresses this pretty directly I thought.
Can you cite where they reference the reproducibility issue in psychology? I thought I read it carefully and thought deeply about my criticism. I don't expect people to agree, of course, but to engage sincerely. So I went back and scanned it again and still don't see it mentioned.
you’re about to waste my fucking time but:
Ed links an article that talks about elements of the replication crisis in enough detail for an article where the replication crisis isn’t anywhere near on-topic, and I don’t think the article would be better if it included that detail
feel free to include evidence in your reply that you aren’t here to be a debate shitlord
(as usual) I made the mistake of looking at their posting history
three internet cookies if you know what’s behind door number one
I'm also confused as to what the takeaway was supposed to be here. Like, because a whole bunch of different famous psych studies fail to replicate maybe this one is less invalid?
Also, were they expecting Ed Zitron of all people to not write a polemical?
