Hiw does "woke" pose a threat to national security? What exactly do you mean by "wokeness"?

While the economic output per person has indeed increased 4-5x, the inflation adjusted median household income has only increased by 50% (1.5x). Government spending is not the issu…

Billionaires generally do not have a knaxj for value creation. What they do generally have is an egregious amount of greed and a total lack of empathy which enables an incredible a…

> I frequently see people underestimate the danger of LLMs to humanity in the long term My experience with people making claims about the inherent danger has been along the lines o…

Your comment reminded me of an old short story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story)

Yes, having eyes is incredibly dangerous. It allows people to select a target from anything they can see.

> Practically, I don't think Jews really had another place to go - remember, most of the Jews of Israel were either fleeing Europe before the Holocaust, or were the survivors of th…

I vaguely recall hearing something similar, with the reasoning being that there was a fear of future hostility enabled by Emperor driven fanaticism. That said, I've also heard that…

Yes - unfortunately we have a lot of leftover usages of asbestos. Historically, it was used a lot. My father even remembers playing around in the bush as a kid, and using asbestos …

Asbestos has been completely banned in Australia since 2003.

Sorry, I will try to make it more clear. NAND is more complex than AND, in the sense that it is more expressive than AND (having functional completeness which AND does not). Simila…

Not the person you asked, but the initial point was taking that idea to the extreme. The concept of "one thing" in the NAND case is more extreme (in terms of granularity). No need …

I think the background noise the old guy has to listen to (I can kind of see it relating to brown noise)

The self-assessment is less to do with how efficient I was, and more based on the fact I get things done sooner, because I don't fuck around and get distracted every few minutes. C…

I believe it was 30mg (10mg, 3x a day) that I started on. Dosage was adjusted after about a year, when I began to notice the dosage wasn't really having the same effect. Was upped …

I always find that portion of ADHD somewhat amusing. Getting fixated on a task and unable to context switch is a big thing, which I think is surprising for many people.

For me, I've been on dexamphetamine sulphate for about five years. I had to have my dose adjusted after about a year, because I experienced what you mentioned (decreased efficacy).…

I disagree with this. For me, the energy is because I have to use less energy doing basic day to day shit. Unmedicated, it takes far more effort and work, and leaves less energy fo…

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 27-28. I've been on medication since then, and the impact has been amazing. It makes me wish my condition was diagnosed much earlier. So …

America wants freedom for America above everything else. It's why they engage in subversive and potentially destabilising operations abroad (in order to "protect" their own freedom…

That sounds very close to a "No True Scotsman" type fallacy. I've done a fair bit of consulting in the past working with Scala, and my experience closely matches the one described …

Interestingly, he's also generally viewed as one of the greatest prime ministers, and did insanely well by most metrics. He served both the longest period of any prime minister in …

The big "wtf" for me was learning that the US has, by far, the highest public healthcare expenditure of any country in the world. Looking at this data, it seems like it pays almost…

People are dependent on government anyway. Your life is very much in the hands of whichever entity wields the most power. Sometimes this power is direct and immediate (like a tyran…
