Maybe it's because I have been obsessively ensuring that I read every comment on every top thread... Some kind of selection bias could be at play...

The top comment on every thread about every new thing on HackerNews is a half-assed debunking of it

I’ve been half assedly following this, not understanding a single word in the papers that keep coming out, not understanding the musings of enthusiasts and professionals

and it looks like I know just as much that its a nothing burger, with maybe some sliver of novelty

we dont have a superconductor, as expected
