seriously, HN has gone mad recently. The amount of doom in commentators is just off the chart.

I always loved going into HN comments, because the insights you could read here were very often of better quality than linked sources.

Now it's mostly doom and despair

I've been reading HN for a number of years, I think I only discovered it around 2018. I didn't register at first. It felt better then, but that could be my wrong memory.

I really agree with you. I wish I could find somewhere with as many interesting people to discuss technology and/or science without so much pavlovian cynicism.
