My understanding is that Russia's "full throttle" isn't actually as strong as they had posed...

How do you want to measure standards of living here?

The thing I think is underspoken in this space is that LLMs will always hallucinate a bit. How will you know as a 13 year old that an LLM is not conversing truth at you?

I think it depends. The people that I know that have made significant sacrifices to live along their morals are usually people who 1) are intensely bitter when others will not sacr…

What books are you curious for that you're unable to find? I'm really curious about this as I, an avid horror book reader, have never had significant trouble even when buying very …

> Not enough (LE|DA|jail) funding or staffing or space. How is it possible that there isn't enough funding/staffing? Budgets have increased, ballooned beyond inflation in many case…

I am perfectly for less job stability in the US but only if it comes with a strong safety net. Losing your job after a year or six months is whatever broski if you have robust heal…

This may sound condescending but: you sound young, not disabled, and extremely sheltered from being exposed to disabled people. I am in a position to be intimately familiar with il…

The fundamental problem with this of course is that every human being is likely more niche and more advanced at the LLM in the things that they find most important, and this realiz…

> Rising productivity would have reduced the average work week regardless. Do you have evidence of this? > consider that the benefits package routinely offered to employees is wort…

In my impression the billionaire worship is just another form of fundamental respect and enforcement of hierarchy that has been part of conservative politics forever. We are back t…

I'm a bit confused by claiming that this is confidential information. I thought contract awards were public? Would someone who is more in this space be willing to explain what actu…

Disabled people exist, even temporarily so (e.g. pregnant with a craving, broken ankle and can't drive, etc)! Also, sometimes some meals are arguably not worth the labor of cooking…

Extremely weird cover selection. Books like Stag Dance, Project: Hail Mary, The Emperor of Gladness, etc. None of them have that. Some of the books listed there are several years o…

This is the first time I heard that this is an issue where the brain isn't filtering out noise properly. This explains why I have had tinnitus, the sound of breathing, whooshing in…

IIRC the relationship between cholesterol and diet is more complicated than eating cholesterol == more cholesterol. Especially in this case you're eating cholesterol with a high-fi…

I see fundamentally human wellbeing as more important. Jobs are just the structure society has built as a gateway for this.

I do mean homo sapiens. Humans are a cooperative species. They will hunt and gather together in loose communities naturally, sharing excess resources even if individuals are not di…

I feel like the idea that X doesn't owe you Y is fundamentally at odds with the fact that humans are a cooperative species and survive the best when they are cooperating. A choir c…

I wouldn't ascribe averages to mean much. I expect there is a small minority that buys everything on amazon (everything meaning groceries, holiday gifts, prescriptions, etc) that w…

On the contrary I think Americans are reacting about the same as any other set of people would react. There are always going to be people who, as long as their personal lives are s…

GLP-1 functioning as methodone is fine for me tbh. Medically assisted addiction management is pretty gold-standard for a lot of addictions!
