I think two factors matter: lack of housing and shift to service sector. The lack of housing forces people to prioritize money, just Maslow's hierarchy. Because many jobs now involve sitting at a computer screen for 60 hours a week, no

Better yet! Use gpt and other ml to increase efficiency of assessments so that students can be measured more accurately, frequently and inexpensively than with human developed traditional paper/pencil items. Next, increase instructiona

I feel like a lot of people I’ve known who work in HR are very much into the high school popular kids clique mentality. Not all. I’ve known very wonderful souls who work in HR but it attracts “people person” types who seem to thrive on gos

Ok, that puts him in the zone of “real” punk. I was thinking he was a millennial. And no offense intended to any young punk rockers. It’s just a different thing when you’re imitating your parents or grandparents generation down to wearing

Counter culture != being in a punk band Maybe it did in the 70s. But anything past that it’s basically the opposite. Punk music is oldies; literally half century old tradition at this point. It’s like calling folk music counter culture.

True but he was martyred by the state. This is the core of Christian faith. God was put to death by an unjust government. It was Christ’s threat to state power that earned the execution. And tax collectors, even the disciple Matthew, were w

Or, on the contrary, the dismal state of much of US media is causing people to seek out and pay more for higher quality journalism than they otherwise would. That seems to be the substack business model in a nutshell. And thank you for doin

My point is simpler: Twitter gives me the whole universe of content, with knobs to dial in my preferences. There is no alternative platform that allows that. And trump is just one of many word filters I use to prevent ever seeing the bozos.

If people “don’t have the time” to learn then they shouldn’t get to participate in our democracy. Education and due diligence, more easily available now than ever before, are the responsibility of citizens.

I use Twitter to follow the select few journalists, academics, government agencies, and writers that I trust and enjoy reading. There is no competition at present. I didn’t wish this situation into being. It’s where I find the world in 2023

People’s political opinions are a huge industry in America. From the DNC/RNC all the way down to street beggers; political affiliation separates fools from their money. The news media, who used to publish news, have caught on, in their

Many would be users can’t send their data data to openAI. Think HIPPA and other laws restricting data sharing. Federation or distribution of the models for local training is the other solution to that problem.

Right. If one can develop a sixth sense about bullshit papers then so too can an LLM. If you have a bullshit paper you will need to pipe it through an LLM to debullshittify it so that reviewers cannot tell. The reviewers themselves may need

Literally nobody thinks that. This whole thread is evidence that this is well known disparity, and one which many people feel strongly about but are unable to correct. I’d argue it’s not correctable: we can’t as a society with lots of crime

If public defenders had the same resources as the persecution, Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t need to spend a cent on his defense. I am sure that’s not what we want. We want defenders to have a possibility of winning, not guaranteed success. M

Sadly it seems tech hiring wants to optimize for cheating by putting a lot of importance on tests and credentials. Deemphasize these, and assess candidates more holistically, and cheating is no longer a factor. It’s easy to cheat on a test,

I suspect the placebo effect has limited duration for those who are experienced with psychedelics. I can imagine wrongly thinking you’ve been dosed for about 90 minutes, but after that one would surely know, at least for LSD.

Moreover it’s a vicious (virtuous) cycle. To get better funding to research a specific disease experts will play up how important their research is by playing up the severity, the “increasingness” of the thing. With funding secure you can n
