Did you read the paper? I'm going to assume the marine biologist publishing papers has at least some idea on corals, unless give a good reason to doubt it.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5013816350138163-replySat, 17 Oct 2026 21:29:45 GMTkakacikI appreciate the correction.This is literal, partly how the guy down the street, at your local saltwater aquarium shop, keeps supply in stock. This is grafting/cloning from fragments, boring coral propagation, widely done for many decades. It only works very quickly for some coral though (there are over 1000 known).Nobody involved with any of this consulted a marine biologist with a rudimentary understanding of coral, or the guy propagating it for a living down the road.How did I know this? I did a report on coral when I was a kid.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5013808350138083-replySat, 17 Oct 2026 21:08:07 GMTkortexHey! If you know more than others, which it sounds like you do, can you please share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn? If you only post a putdown of people who know less than you, it just makes the thread mean and the rest of us don't get to learn anything.https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.htmlreplyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5013760150137601-replySat, 17 Oct 2026 19:15:14 GMTnomelYou haven't been banned, but quite a few of your comments have been breaking the site guidelines, and so correctly flagged.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5013436450134364-replySat, 17 Oct 2026 11:38:38 GMTsteelframeBummer that you got shadow banned.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5013429350134293-replySat, 17 Oct 2026 11:31:08 GMTtomwojcikI see your comment.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5013412250134122-replySat, 17 Oct 2026 11:14:15 GMTdangI got shadow banned.

Which in turn means more people will claim to do it than will actually do it. That'll show them! That mathematicians are truly dumb!Or that LLMs for writing need work and funding too..replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5011386850113868-Thu, 15 Oct 2026 19:53:39 GMTWe're not an employer, but I've been referring to these links lately, when trying to persuade emailers not to do that to us either. (It doesn't seem to have helped much, so far...)It will be an uncommon choice not to have LLMs write for you, but it won't be a merely idiosyncratic one. It will be what all the people who care about thinking well do. Not using LLMs to write for you won't be like not using Google Maps in a new city. It will be like choosing to run and lift weights, even though we now have machines that can transport us and lift weights for us. In fact, since it will be what all the smartest people do, it will probably be prestigious to write for oneself. Which in turn means more people will claim to do it than will actually do it.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/2070184265942548978https://twitter.com/paulg/status/2058844147092488401https://twitter.com/paulg/status/2058855820121498037https://twitter.com/paulg/status/2058871512451412457https://twitter.com/paulg/status/2058863028523659390https://twitter.com/paulg/status/2068994868412629467https://paulgraham.com/writes.htmlreplyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5011267750112677-replyThu, 15 Oct 2026 17:36:12 GMToliculipolicula
