How? He’s saying that he can’t think of any good ones, and in my experience that’s true of most informed people. This is one of those hard problems that needs solutions, and so far the present system is the best anyone has managed.

Again by this logic prisons should be free of crime, rather than hotbeds of it. Insisting that something is true because it makes sense to you doesn’t make it true.

That's a HUGE assumption about the ability of surveillance to succeed, and it goes against the evidence of the most surveillance-heavy states in the present and history. There are flaws in systems that go beyond collecting evidence, fo

I feel that, "Everyone else is mad" is a really big red flag for one's own mental health and emotional state, rather than an accurate rendition of reality.

Very interesting, even if it is at an early stage and I have to wonder what the throughput would look like in an industrial process. There's value in proving that this approach can work even if it doesn't become the basis for sepa

I left Reddit years ago and it’s been an absolute pleasure. I’ve never come close to wishing to participating there again, and everything I hear from people who still hang on seems to reinforce my decision.

It sounds like the usual far right bottom line dressed up with a bunch of “Free Pizza” promises to cover it with a veneer. Personally I wish people like his had the balls to stop hiding behind that kind of thing, we all know what someone is

I feel like we’re surrounded by the reality of the Great Filter and yet people still cling to the science fiction fantasy of their youth.

It's important to say that isn't self-replicating in the von Neumann sense, even setting aside the question of how it's being executed. Humans don't replicate, we reproduce and critically evolve, never more quickly or dr

That's been the pitch from "harm reduction" activists who didn't bother to check on the reality, and the pitch from Phillip Morris. The reality is that products like Zyn are most popular in a young demographic that'

Critically nicotine pouches are a recreational drug rather than a medication or medical device. If you're exposed to microplastics from your dialysis then that's just a tradeoff to remain above the ground. Most people using Zyn ne

You’re absolutely right about how quickly some bacteria can replicate, but that depends on the proper substrate, ambient conditions, availability of nutrients, and any competition from contaminants. What something like E. Coli can do in a w

You’re clearly ignoring the context of “new and rapidly built” and are instead using the metric of all data centers in existence. You’re technically correct, but missing the point and imo arguing more or less with yourself only.

Or maybe they’re upset that the plan for AI to justify the trillions of sunk cost had to include massive layoffs and replacement of jobs with machines. That may not bother you, but it hardly takes a “Satanic frenzy” to dislike that prospect
