I am! It's my first HTMX project but I am liking it so far. HTMX has a few quirks which it took me a while to understand, but since then it has worked pretty well -- the amount of …

Thanks, I'll take a look! It didn't come up in my research a few months ago, which surprises me. How would you compare it with a product like Equals?

A little program I wrote because I'm tired of writing the same Django admin code, maintaining complex SQL queries and JavaScript transformers in Retool, and working around the lack…

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, the contention I intend to make is that he agrees more with the racial views of his NRx commenters than he publicly let on. That was the framin…

If your contention is that we should more frankly discuss IQ disparities, pretending we're talking about height was a strange way to go about it. In those emails, SA does not say h…

This is obtuse. I didn't make any argument about SA reading the same stuff NRx read, or even reading NRx stuff. I linked SA's own writing that "Many of their insights seem importan…

> Human biodiversity is an empirical fact. Are some populations taller than other, on average? Is red hair more prevalent in certain populations? Pretty much nobody actually reject…

I guess I am much less familiar with Moldbug's stated views than you, so I'm happy to concede that point. Anyway, I think the HBD/NRx relationship is peripheral to the discussion o…

If you view some races as generally "less useful" than others, most people would consider that racist regardless of whether you think they should enjoy the same rights.

I spent a lot of time on SSC from 2013 to 2017, and my recollection is that the Venn diagram of commenters promoting HBD and those promoting RDx was nearly a circle. And similarly …

I said he was "sympathetic to NRx views" and linked emails from him stating certain views widely held by Moldbug et. al. that he is sympathetic to. Do you disagree that "HBD" is an…

In them he says "HBD is probably partially correct" -- do you think that's not a NRx view (I agree others also hold it, but I would argue that it's a core view of NRx -- it doesn't…

I don't mean to say that he was a closet NRx -- and IMO neither did Metz imply that -- just that he agreed with a much larger subset of their controversial views than he or his all…

While I don't agree with all of the framing in the NYT story, it's worth noting that Scott Alexander was much friendlier to Moldbug et. al. than the anti-Metz camp argued at the ti…

The link you cite says it was worse in the Rust version: > During the audit, it came to light that the original sudo implementation was also affected by [CLN-001: relative path tra…

The link you gave me is the 2024 MSRP, not 2023. No need to be rude, especially if you're not going to actually read my comments or your own links.

> You've adjusted wages for inflation, great, but that's meaningless unless you compare wages to what it costs to live. That's literally the point of adjusting for inflation. You c…

This is simply false. Median wages after adjusting for inflation are above Q4 2019 and have grown substantially over the last 30 years: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES125288…

Apples to apples here -- the 2020 GT Premium was $43,315. So we're still not looking at nearly the same size of increase. You think the average income is being computed incorrectly…

Unfortunately I could not find data on prices after discounts -- I would love if you could point me to some! I find it hard to believe the average discount in 2019/20 was $8k off o…
