Viewing profile — exoverito

I enjoyed most of my math classes like multivariate calculus and differential equations, though I pursued my BS and MS degrees in CS later in life, and was already independently we…

Race is not skin color. Albino Sub-Saharans are very obviously not European. People of course prefer others that share their language, culture, religion and politics. Race is often…

It's human nature to be "racist" since people generally prefer to be with others similar to themselves. That can be multi-dimensional, ranging from values, cultures, tastes, but ra…

Yes.

The US, UK, and Western powers have been waging information war for far longer than 2016. Look at Canadian PM Mark Carney's latest speech at Davos, he admits the 'Rules based inter…

Seems foolish to trust them. The EU is fundamentally undemocratic with the unelected Commission proposing laws and decision making hidden within councils. It has been steadily cent…

You're assuming mutual exclusion. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.

Freedom of speech is just as much about the freedom to listen. The point isn’t that an LLM has rights. The point is that people have the right to seek information. Censoring LLMs r…

The obvious problem with nihilism is that ultimately everything is ungrounded and there are no moral truths. Some people are naturally altruistic and feel fulfilled when helping ot…

Race is obviously biological.. You can determine someone's ancestry and ethnicity by their DNA... https://www.researchgate.net/figure/PCA-clustering-Principal...

He says, on the internet.

Stunningly weak mentality. Not surprised to see it on display here, HN is polluted with broken dorks. If you don't fight back you will be the victim of further abuse. If there's no…

Psychologically perhaps, but to say physically addictive is not precise. The government in general has been becoming increasingly authoritarian and centralized far before social me…

I appreciate where you're coming from, but you risk making the perfect be the enemy of the good. What's worse, being paid less than a 'living wage' or being unemployed? The problem…

Awesome! Much appreciated bro. And yet... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAsh47yWwAAxU1m?format=jpg&name=...

There is no anti-authoritarian party. Are lockdowns not authoritarian? Do mandates to take an experimental vaccine not violate bodily autonomy? How quickly everyone forgets the wid…

I'm curious what you believe is the point of your comment. For one, it's remarkably lazy compared to the previous poster's efforts in illustrating the inverted scenario. Two, do yo…

It takes nearly a decade to get a mine online, under optimal conditions. If a conflict breaks out and China embargoes the West, what's your plan then?

If you're operating under the idea that we can't expand the supply of water, then you basically believe California is full. It would then follow that you would be against immigrati…

By your omission I can assume you don't feel that way about leftists? I certainly find tankies and figures like Sartre repellent on multiple levels. He was an apologist for Stalini…

The teachers were all highly motivated and skilled, with a great interest in each student on a personal level. This was the Dunn Middle School, located in the Santa Ynez Valley. Th…

First of all, you misread the figures. The correlation between identical twins reared together is 0.85, while adoptive parent and child is 0.19. Second of all, correlation coeffici…

I had a number of good teachers at the various public schools I attended, though the best ones were at a private school. Instead of defunding, we should institute a voucher system …
