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
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?
(as usual) I made the mistake of looking at their posting history
