    I think GP is pointing out a legitimate asymmetry between the "two sides": there's one* way for a conservative to do things the way they've always been done, and there's an infinit…

    GP isn't saying that this topic is literally censored; he's saying that discussing it is taboo, and increasingly so.

    Not OP but for me it's not about what sources to trust (blindly? literally none of them), but what type of information you can trust. Naked facts seem to be safe for the time being…

    Slight tangent: does anybody know how these models are tuned to censor certain topics so precisely? I thought it was a bit of a black box how things worked internally?

    I was thinking about this last week[1] and I think that both the "math" people and "common sense" people are correct in a sense, and talking past each other. The math people are of…

    I think the points he makes in the article actually perfectly match the "broscience" in powerlifting and olympic weightlifting. There it's all about long rest between sets, low rep…

    My understanding is that Planck Length is not a limit to the smallest possible thing; it's a limit to the most precise possible measurement. So there could in fact be lots of thing…

    If you ever end up doing this project, I find that sometimes it's hard to quantify if something is better when going in the normal-to-better direction, but it's always much easier …

    I'd be surprised if it didn't support ECC; every gen since Ryzen 2000 has supported ECC (although it's unadvertised and you have to be very careful with motherboard selection). I c…

    What a strange way to word the headline: "refused consent". This would normally be, "denied permit".
