I would have added some data points to your original comment, but then mods deleted your comment while I typed. Seems they've got to suppress single anecdotes so no one has the bra…

If you don't know the truth, at least try not to lie. Nothing I've seen in the dozens of downtown live streams jives with the smearing I've witnessed on places like r/pics and the …

Of course, voter ID opponents have let out the private partisan internal logic lots of times when they thought only people aligned with their faction were listening, so we don't ne…

When you show up to vote in a non-voter-id state, you only have to give your name. Any one could have shown up in my place and voted in my name, because no ID was allowed to be sho…

"They're just doing what they were told to do"

Especially when accounts could be hacked to say anything, like the incidents a couple years ago. Imagine the POTUS account pissing off an unstable dictator in some country, or post…

This is a positive change for world mental health, bravo.

AGI draws upon dozens of fields. The facet of AI Safety and Risk Mitigation consulting is where I started, and I was heavily influenced by Dr. Roman Yampolskiy. By the time we met …

I left my lucrative cybersecurity startup job to pursue full time independent research in AGI. Several months in and it's been great progress wise, and I have to live more frugally…

It's worth seeing who else besides Facebook funds the fact checkers. https://www.poynter.org/major-funders/

I agree. My revenge as a user has been to scrape entire channels I want to watch, as I can only imagine things getting worse than they are now (less free, less intrusive, more thou…

I deleted my real account earlier this year, but if I want to get to the marketplace I use a fake account (I had set up several years ago for political research.) I then use FBPuri…

Meme stock apes have claimed this as the new destination of their portfolios.

I was in the back room of Epic Megagames in 97 when Tim Sweeney showed me his automatic LOD on the Skaarj model. It was pretty basic compared to the current tech, but I think remem…

I've been loving Foam as it lives inside VSCode, where I spend most of my days anyway. Obsidian was nice too, but I ended up moving back to Foam. The only feature I wish Foam had i…

My dear friend, it's asteroids all the way up!

Yeah they forgot the paragraph where NASA brings the rock home by hurling it towards Earth, killing 99% of humanity after impact.

Just make sure the slaves are Slavs, that's probably the only way to include it in the game.

They are trying to drag down Biden by implying he is the person mentioned in Hunters family texts, saying that half of their salaries go to "Pops".

Beware of things that are fun to argue.

I didn't know the private island had a landing strip large enough for a private jet!

If this was due to some kind of traveling wave in quantum foam, would that cause it to be non detectable as heat in large spaces, and also have some kind of mass? (i.e. dark matter…

Funny story, in my undergrad I worked at UMIACS and we had to install a set of foot pedal mice buttons in an office next to Minker's. The user would move the mouse on their desk, b…

I used to feel this way, until I read the book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn. The author points out correctly that too often the arrival of our current sta…
